Mechanochemistry toward Organic “Salt” via Integer‐Charge‐Transfer Cocrystal Strategy for Rapid, Efficient, and Scalable Near‐Infrared Photothermal Conversion

Invited for this month′s cover is the group of Shun‐Li Chen and Ming‐De Li at the Shantou University. The image shows that one electron can be transferred easily from donor to acceptor unit to obtain integer‐charge‐transfer cocrystals for realizing high‐efficient solar‐harvesting and photothermal conversion. The Research Article itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202300644. “It was very surprising that the design strategy of ionic charge‐transfer complexes for Mott insulator works well for cocrystals…” This and more about the story behind the research that inspired the Cover image is presented in the Cover Profile.
