Phase composition,physicochemical and catalytic properties of cobalt–aluminum–zeolite systems

The phase composition and physicochemical and catalytic properties of three samples of cobalt–aluminum–zeolite systems were studied. The catalytic properties of the systems are related to the application of a highly porous acidic support and the presence of cobalt oxide crystallites of an optimal size (6–12 nm). The occurrence of an efficient heat-conductive spatial net formed by metallic aluminum particles is also important for catalytic performance.     

Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione based copolymers for high performance organic solar cells and organic field effect transistors

Donor-acceptor type copolymers have wide applications in organic field-effect transistors and organic photovoltaic devices. Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD), as an electron-withdrawing unit, has been widely used in D-A type copolymers recently. Till now, the highest power conversion efficiency and mobility of TPD-based copolymers are over 8% and 1.0 cm² V^-1 s^-1 respectively. In this review, the recent progress of TPD-based copolymers in organic solar cells and organic transistors is summarized.
