Copper complex conductive inks inevitably contains water which is derived from chemicals and humid air. The dual effects of water on the performance of copper complex conductive inks with amines as ligands were investigated for the first time. On one hand, excess water caused the deterioration of copper complexes by interacting with amines to produce high concentration of OH − , yielding basic salt, hydroxide or oxide precipitate, which shortened the shelf life of copper inks. The degree of deterioration was related to the amine’s coordination ability and alkalinity. On the other hand, trace water could accelerate the thermal decomposition of copper complexes, promote the nucleation of copper, and yield smaller particles to form copper films with denser structure and lower resistivity. The blending of 2-ethylhexylamine (EtHex) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) as ligands to copper formate (Cuf) could balance the dual effects of water on copper complex conductive inks. It was found that Cuf-EtHex-AMP (with 95 mol% EtHex in blended ligands) ink showed strong water resistance. The shelf life of the blended complex ink with additional 2 wt% water was still more than 2 months. The additional water enabled the formation of highly conductive copper films at low heating temperature. The resistivity of the copper film from the blended complex ink with additional 2 wt% water stored for 2 months only increased a little compared to that from the newly prepared ink (from 9.70 μΩ·cm to 14.42 μΩ·cm), which could meet the general requirements of printed electronics.

Doping of Mn2+ into semiconductor nanocrystals has been demonstrated to endow them with novel electronic, optical and magnetic functionalities. In this paper, Mn-doped CsPbX3 (X = Br, Cl) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized at room temperature via a facile strategy by introducing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-MnBr2/PbX2 composite as a precursor. The excitonic emission spectra of the as-obtained Mn-doped CsPbX3 QDs can be tuned from 517 nm to 418 nm by adjusting the ratio of PbBr2/PbCl2 precisely, and the luminescence mechanism of the doped QDs is discussed in detail. Moreover, the highest photoluminescence quantum yield of the Mn2+ emission achieves 36.7%, which is comparable with QDs prepared by the conventional hot-injection method. Depending on the ratios of PbPb2/PbCl2, the energy transfer rate from the band-edge to Mn2+ excited state is in the range of 0.006–20.42 × 107 s−1. Furthermore, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were successfully fabricated by combining the as-prepared Mn-doped CsPbX3 QDs with commercial UV GaN chips, and the high luminous efficiency of the as-prepared white LEDs was developed to 55.9 lm W−1. This work strongly supports the fact that Mn-doped CsPbX3 QDs are promising materials for application in lighting and displaying fields.

NO (nitric oxide) has dual functions in cancer, promoting carcinogenesis in low concentrations and inducing tumor cell apoptosis at high concentrations. The dual-edged-sword functions of NO make it particularly appealing to develop a sensitive and specific chemical probe for its detection. However, most NO sensors suffer from poor Stokes shifts and are limited by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light excitation, which render it difficult to avoid the intrinsic background signal. In this study, an 808 nm laser-excited Nd3+-sensitized upconversion nanoprobe based on LRET (luminescence resonance energy-transfer) for NO detection was constructed for the first time. This probe was composed of Nd3+-sensitized core–shell upconversion nanoparticles (540 nm and 660 nm emission) as the energy donor and RhBs as the acceptor. In the presence of NO, RhBs was converted into Rhodamine B and its strong absorption subsequently quenched the 540 nm fluorescence of UCNPs, while the emission at 660 nm remained constant. The ratiometric detection of the fluorescence at 540 nm, as compared to 660 nm, can precisely respond to the difference in NO levels with a detection limit of 0.21 μM. Importantly, compared with conventional UCNPs excited at 980 nm, the 808 nm light excitation led to lower water absorption and deeper tissue penetration, thus avoiding overheating and allowing for long-term biological imaging. This strategy has been perfectly applied to detecting the NO levels in living cells to differentiate the tumor cells from normal cells based on varied intracellular NO concentration. Further, the nanosystem realized the real-time monitoring of NO during treatment with NO donor drugs, which could inspire the future application of this probe to guide NO therapy.

Stretchable and self-healing polymer gels with luminescent property are very promising materials for next generation soft optical devices. This work presents the preparation of self-healing and luminescent polymer gels by simply blending organometal halide perovskite nanocrystals (OHP NCs) with poly(dimethylsiloxane)-urea copolymer (PDMS-urea). On the one hand, the obtained luminescent gels are not only flexible, stretchable and relatively transparent, they also exhibit excellent self-healing capability due to the reversible hydrogen bonding network in the PDMS-urea copolymer. On the other hand, the embedding of OHP NCs (MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 NCs) inside the hydrophobic PDMS-urea gel greatly improved the photoluminescence stability of OHP NCs against water. Their applications as phosphors for LEDs have been demonstrated. Both the MAPbBr 3 /PDMS-urea gel and MAPbI 3 /PDMS-urea gel can fully convert the blue emission of GaN chip to green and red emissions, respectively. These gels can be used as photoluminescent materials in flexible optical devices with good self-healing capability.

Ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) technique is a powerful approach for the synthesis of organometal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). The morphology and surface property of the formed PNCs which determine their optical properties are ultrasensitive to the synthetic parameters. To guarantee the batch-to-batch reproducibility of PNCs with excellent optical properties, it is of central importance to better understand the factors influencing the formation of PNCs during LARP process. Herein the dual-factor of the amount of perovskite precursor and the polarity of mixture solvent was modified by varying precursor solution volume (PSV) in the LARP system. The concentration, size, surface state and optical properties of the synthesized CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 PNCs as a function of PSV were systematically investigated aiming to understand the influence of the dual-factor on the nucleation and growth of PNCs. Experimental results revealed that few crystal nuclei was generated due to lower amount of precursor at lower PSV, which was favorable for the growth of large perovskite crystals. At the higher PSV, the inhibition of crystal growth with increased amount of precursor was compensated by increasing the polarity of mixture solvent, which led to the dissolution of surface ligands and eventually growth of large perovskite crystals. The obtained results on PSV-dependent synthesis of PNCs will be used as a guide to optimize the synthetic parameters in the LARP process.

The massive release of rhodamine B (RhB) to water system is an emerging problem, which dramatically threaten environment and human health. The development of an adsorbent with enhanced removal efficiency for RhB is urgently needed. Herein, we report an environment-friendly synthesis of high quality zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and functional ionic liquid@ZIF-8 in water-based system without heat treatment for improving its adsorption property. Guanidinium ionic liquids (ILs) could not only act as greener agents instead of volatile bases and toxic surfactants to efficiently control the nucleation and growth rate of ZIF-8, but also were incorporated as shell material to add specific adsorption sites. The relationship between nanoparticle structure and adsorption performance for RhB was systematically investigated. Due to high surface area (1167 m 2 g −1 ), high porosity (0.79 cm 3 g −1 ), high crystallinity , nano size (about 100 nm) and monodispersity, the as-obtained ZIF-8 showed improved adsorption capacity toward RhB (80% removal efficiency). Heteropolyanion-based guanidinium IL@meso-ZIF-8 (HPAIL@meso-ZIF-8) exhibited the high RhB uptake capacity of 278 mg g −1 (higher than most of the reported adsorbents) and effectively removed 99% of RhB within 15 min. The results showed that the adsorption process of prepared materials fitted well with pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model. The existence of mesopores in ZIF-8 facilitated the diffusion of RhB and the incorporated guanidinium IL played a significant role in enhancing the adsorption affinity. Moreover, the reusability results revealed the HPAIL@meso-ZIF-8 as a highly efficient adsorbent for RhB removal with satisfactory performance and structural stability. Therefore, HPAIL@meso-ZIF-8 is one of the most promising adsorbents for organic dye removal from water.

Halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have been intensively studied because of their superior optical properties and have great potential applications in laser, display technology and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Presently, high-efficiency green emissive CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 PQDs have been successfully fabricated. However, the synthesis of stable iodide-based CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 (MAPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I), MA = CH 3 NH 3 ) QDs still faces significant challenges because they are sensitive to the moisture in open air. Herein, we investigated the effect of the solvent and ligand on the growth of the as-prepared MAPbBr 3 and MAPbI 3 sample, mainly involved in the volume ratio of N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and the amount of n -octylamine in toluene. The results show that the low volume ratio of DMF and GBL is beneficial to prepare highly luminescent, stable and full-colored MAPbX 3 PQDs in open air. Besides, the PL emission peak of MaPbBr 3 PQDs can be adjusted from 430 to 513 nm via precisely controlling the amount of n -octylamine in toluene because of quantization. The obtained MAPbX 3 PQDs show high quantum yield and a wide range of tunable light emission from ultraviolet to near-infrared region. The MAPbX 3 PQDs, especially iodide-based MAPbX 3 PQDs, obtained from this method remain stable more than 3 months at ambient condition. We further demonstrated the multi-colored LEDs by using different color emissive MAPbX 3 PQDs as color converters and being subjected to excitation through a blue GaN chip. Furthermore, MAPbX 3 PQDs are expected to show interesting nanoscale optical properties and have great potential applications in electroluminescence devices, lasers and optical sensors.

Development of efficient, selective and low-cost photocatalysts, ideally constructed from Earth-abundant elements, is still a big challenge for CO 2 photoreduction. Herein, adopting mixed halides strategy, the activity of all-inorganic perovskites toward CO 2 reduction is enhanced sharply under simulated sunlight without photosensitizer, meanwhile maintaining high selectivity of CO and CH 4 production. Via regulating ratio of Br and Cl, the yield of CO and CH 4 changes obviously and the optimized catalyst is CsPb(Br 0.5 /Cl 0.5 ) 3 with a total yield of CO and CH 4 up to 875 μmol/g (selectivity of 99%) which outperforms any other reported halide perovskites and is 4.5 and 9.1 folds higher than that of CsPbBr 3 and CsPbCl 3 under the same condition. The efficient charge separation and moderate stability in mixed-halide perovskites may account for the excellent performance in CO 2 reduction. This study may provide a new strategy in design of high performance and low-cost halide perovskite materials for photocatalysis.

To reduce the charge injection barrier, we attempt to synthesize thin-shell CdSe/ZnxCd1−xS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) in this work. A low-temperature (90–115 °C) synthetic scheme was developed for highly luminescent CdSe/ZnxCd1−xS core/shell QDs by employing short-chain tert-dodecanethiol as the ligand and low-boiling xylene or octane as the solvent. Thiol-capped CdSe/2ZnxCd1−xS core/shell QDs with two monolayers of the shells were directly synthesized in open air, including CdSe/2ZnS, CdSe/2Zn2/3Cd1/3S, CdSe/2Zn1/2Cd1/2S, CdSe/2Zn1/3Cd2/3S, CdSe/2CdS, and CdSe/1CdS/1ZnS core/shell QDs. These short-chain ligand capped and thin-shell QDs were used as the emitting layers to fabricate quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). The results showed that QDs coated with an alloyed Zn0.5Cd0.5S shell possess the optimal photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) properties as well as a maximum current efficiency of 12.5 cd A−1.

The solvent-induced precipitation in a mixture of good and poor solvents was often used to synthesize organometal halide perovskite nanocrystals (OMHP NCs). Here we investigate the formation of OMHP NCs by using HBr based precursors in various solvents. Various emission colors and morphologies of perovskite NCs were obtained depending on the solvents used. The nanoplatelets with blue emission were produced for the low polar solvents, such as toluene, PhCl and EtOAc. The increase in polarity of poor solvents results in the red shift of emission of obtained NCs. The much more polar solvents like acetone and CH 3 CN lead to formation of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 NCs (MaPbBr 3 ) with cubic phase. The dispersion behaviors of MaPbBr 3 NCs in different solvents was also investigated. MaPbBr 3 NCs can exist stably in most unpolar solvents. However, they will be dissolved in polar solvents, like acetone and acetonitrile, to give rise to a clear solution with red emission of Pb 2+ . By injecting this clear solution to unpolar solvents, OMHP NCs can be reproduced.

In this study, a pH-responsive amphiphilic alginate (Ugi-Alg) was synthesized via Ugi reaction without using a catalyst. The structure of Ugi-Alg was confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Amphiphilic alginate can form micelles in an aqueous medium due to it's amphiphilic nature.. The impacts of Na+ concentration and pH on the micelle size were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dynamic light scattering observations showed that micelle size increases with the decrease in Na+ concentration in aqueous solution. However, the micelle size decreases first and then increases as the pH value decreases from 5.3 to 2.0. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the mean size of micelles is 30–200 nm. In addition, a model hydrophobic pesticide (acetamiprid) was loaded in the micelles. The encapsulation efficiency and release behavior of micelles were studied, which could be controlled by Na+ concentration and pH. The results indicated that encapsulation efficiency of acetamiprid increases from 55% to 96% due to the increase in Na+ concentration from 0.01 M to 0.3 M. Moreover, with the decrease in pH from 5.3 to 2.0, encapsulation efficiency increases from 55% to 80%. Furthermore, the data of acetamiprid release kinetics could be well-fitted by the Weibull model.

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) are polymers that play a vital role in gas energy production, transport, and storage. A series of polyaspartamides based on l-aspartic acid were designed to serve as potential KHIs. Tuning the fine structures of the polyaspartamides can inhibit the tetrahydrofuran hydrate formation more effectively than classical KHIs, i.e., poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCap) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). When the hydrophobic side chain is longer, the polyaspartamide is more effective. For elucidation of the polymer structure–property relationships in the inhibition of the clathrate hydrate, the molecular-level interactions between the polyaspartamides and tetrahydrofuran hydrate were studied. Dynamics of water surrounding the polymers probed by NMR relaxometry demonstrate that the polyaspartamides can bind tightly with water molecules in the hydrate, resulting in faster transverse relaxation times of the nonfreezable water. This phenomenon can be interpreted by quantum chemical simulations and nonfreezable bound water analysis by calorimetry. The simulations show that the interaction between the polyaspartamides and the clathrate hydrate is featured by the formation of strong hydrogen-bonding, rendering severe distortion and destruction of the clathrate cages. High levels of nonfreezable bound water per polymer repeat unit were found in the amphiphilic polymers. Polyaspartamide could be used as a green resource for prevention of gas hydrate formation in energy production.
