Here, the construction of lantern[3₃ ]arene-based hydrogel with low critical gelation concentration (0.05 wt%), which can be used for efficient oil-water separation, is reported. The lantern[3₃ ]arenes self-assemble into hydrogen-bonded organic nanoribbons, which intertwine into entangled fibers to form hydrogel. This hydrogel which exhibits reversible pH-responsiveness characteristics can be coated on stainless-steel mesh by in situ sol-gel transformation. The resultant mesh exhibits excellent oil-water separation efficiency (>99%) and flux (>6 × 10⁴ L m^-2 h^-1 ). This lantern[3₃ ]arene-based hydrogel not only sheds additional light on the gelation mechanisms for supramolecular hydrogels, but also extends the application of macrocycle-based hydrogels as functional interfacial materials.23:T44b,Two new oligothiophene derivatives with the acceptor–donor–acceptor structure incorporating fluorinated alkyl cyanoacetate units as the terminal acceptor groups, DCAE7T-F1 and DCAO7T-F7, have been designed and synthesized for solution-processable BHJ solar cells. The impacts of these fluorinated end groups on the optical absorption, solubility, electrochemical properties, morphology, surface energy, film forming ability, mobility and solar cell performance were studied. We found that as the fluorinated alkyl length increased, the surface energy decreased and the lipophobicity increased. Due to its high lipophobic property and a problem with its wettability, DCAO7T-F7 was not able to produce a uniform film by spin coating. A power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.26% was achieved with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.83 V, short circuit current (Jsc) of 5.55 mA cm−2 and fill factor (FF) of 0.50 for DCAE7T-F1 based solar cells. The low Jsc suggests that controlling the film morphology and molecular assembly is essential for the performance of these fluorinated small molecules.
