The role of solvents in the microstructure and charge transport of semiconducting polymer films prepared at the air–liquid interface
Fabricating devices using floating films of semiconducting polymers offers many advantages. In floating films, a judicious selection of solvents is essential to achieve maximum device performance based on the nature of the semiconducting polymer.

Polysulfide polyurethane–urea-based dielectric composites with CeO2-loaded MXene exhibiting high self-healing efficiency
We developed a CeO2@MXene/PSPU composite film with a dielectric constant of 206 at 100 Hz, a loss of 0.19 and a self-healing efficiency of 97.9% at a filler content of 5.25 vol%.

Enhanced stability and ultrahigh proton conductivity of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks
A highly stable HOF-based composite (HDSD-1@Tp) was obtained by in situ reaction with HDSD-1. The introduction of NH4+ optimizes its proton conduction pathways, making HDSD-1@Tp-NH3 possess a high proton conductivity of 3.8 × 10−1 S cm−1.

Triplet conformation in chromophore-fused cyclooctatetraene dyes
Cyclooctatetraene (COT) is predicted to have a planar aromatic triplet state. Using femtosecond-to-microsecond transient absorption spectroscopy, we show that acene chromophore-fused COT dyes also have a planar COT ring in their triplet states, although they are not aromatic.

Chemical states and local structure in Cu-deficient CuxInSe∼2 thin films: insights into engineering and bandgap narrowing
Cu deficiency alters the local structure of the Cu–Se–In tetrahedral network thereby reducing the bandgap in CuInSe2.
