Naphthopyran molecular switches undergo a ring-opening reaction upon external
stimulation to generate intensely colored merocyanine dyes. Their unique modularity and …

Dynamically responsive materials, capable of reversible changes in color appearance
and/or photoemission upon external stimuli, have attracted substantial attention across …

The development of smart windows could enhance the functionality of the large glass
facades found in modern buildings around the globe. While these facades offer occupants …

Abstract Herein, Mo doping BiVO 4/ultrathin-CoAl-LDH (Mo: BVO/CoAl-LDH-u) photoanode
with self-healing property is firstly designed by using the atomic layer CoAl-LDH as …

In recent years, various porphyrin dyes have been designed to develop efficient dye-
sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Based on our previously reported porphyrin dye XW43 …

Metalloviologens, as emerging electron-transfer photochromic compounds, have shown
intriguing properties such as radiochromism, photochromism and photoconductance …

2H-Naphthopyrans have become a crucial class of photochromic materials owing to their
excellent sensitivity to sunlight and robust fatigue resistance. However, such compounds …

We report the design, synthesis and characterization of push–pull photochromic
naphthopyran dyes, incorporating different carbazole moieties as the electron-donor group …

Fluorenyl indoline based electron donors have been employed in constructing DSSC dyes
with high photocurrents. However, commonly used fluorenyl indoline donors possess two or …

Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) with photoinduced donor-acceptor (DA) radical pairs
show enhanced photocatalytic activity in principle. However, achieving long-lived charge …
