To solve this issue, the researchers optimized the acceptor by introducing another non-fullerene acceptor known as PM6:L8-BO. This caused a higher hole-transfer time of around 7 ps but suppressed ...

The boron-boron bonds in the “borospherene” are also exotic. Delocalized π- and σ-bonds hold the boron fullerene together, with electrons shared among three, five, six, or seven atoms.

There is a general perception that nanotechnologies will have a significant impact on developing 'green' and 'clean' technologies with considerable environmental benefits. However, the environmental ...
