Low-Temperature Solution Processing of Mesoporous Metal–Sulfide Semiconductors as Light-Harvesting Photoanodes
Structured absorbers: Mesoporous films of highly crystalline Sb2S3 are prepared from a doctor-bladed precursor paste that is thermally annealed. This facile and versatile processing route allows for control of the pore size through variation of the annealing temperature. The resulting high surface area allows for efficient charge transfer to a polymeric hole acceptor; hence, such films could form the basis of a novel hybrid organic–inorganic photovoltaic device.

Conveying the Excitement of Chemistry on YouTube
“… We live in exciting times for the development of both chemistry and social media. The challenge is how to couple the excitement in the two fields. As in other areas of chemical activity, we believe that the answer is not to copy what has been done before but to harness the rapid rise of the next social medium …” Read more in the Editorial by Martyn Poliakoff and Brady Haran.
