TEM image of aqueous NPs. a) Tc_NP, scale, 100 nm. b) Tc_R-NEA_NP, scale, 200 nm. c) High-resolution TEM of Tc_R-NEA_NPs, scale, 100 nm. Credit: Advanced Science (2024). DOI: 10.1002/advs.202405864 In organic molecules, an exciton is a pair of an electron (negative charge) and its hole (positive charge) bound to a particle. They are held together by Coulombic attraction and can…
