Front Cover: Mechanochemistry toward Organic “Salt” via Integer‐Charge‐Transfer Cocrystal Strategy for Rapid, Efficient, and Scalable Near‐Infrared Photothermal Conversion (ChemSusChem 14/2023)

The Front Cover shows integer-charge-transfer cocrystals are self-assembled via multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds with one electron transferred from donor to acceptor unit for high-efficiency (∼87 %) NIR photothermal conversion. “D-A pairs” as the basic “micro-stacking units” in cocrystals guarantee strong donor-acceptor interactions and excellent photothermal performance. Amorphous cocrystals synthesized by one-step mechanochemical method exhibit good photo/thermal stability, which is highly desirable in practical large-scale solar-harvesting/conversion applications without the puzzle of maintaining an ideal stacking structure.
