The luminescence properties of perovskite quantum dots are crucial for their applications in various optoelectronic devices. Enhancing the luminescence performance of CsPb(Br/I) 3 quantum dots is a critical challenge for their application in optoelectronic devices. This paper explores the use of noble metal nanostructures to improve the luminescence intensity of these quantum dots through localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). We conducted electric field simulations to optimize the LSPR effect and prepared Au@Ag@SiO 2 nanobipyramids with tailored LSPR peaks. The nanobipyramids were then connected to CsPbCl 2 Br, CsPbBr 3 , and CsPbBrI 2 quantum dots using amine-functionalized SiO 2 layers, forming a nanocomposite that showed a significant increase in luminescence. The study identifies the importance of the SiO 2 spacer layer in preventing luminescence quenching and demonstrates that the LSPR effect can be harnessed to achieve up to a 15-fold enhancement in luminescence intensity. This research provides a promising avenue for advancing the efficiency of solar energy harvesting devices, light-emitting devices, and optical detectors.

Cyanidin-3 -O -glucoside (C3G) is a flavonoid with various biological properties, susceptible to degradation and instability under different external factors. Thus, this study aimed to develop novel gum Arabic (GA)-coated nano-nutriosomes (NUs) to improve the stability of C3G and facilitate its controlled delivery and cellular uptake as well as investigate the potential of GA-coated NU as a delivery system for C3G. The optimum concentration of GA to coat C3G-NU was 0.5% (w/v). The properties of NU systems were studied through DLS, HPLC, TEM, DSC, and FTIR. The results showed that C3G was successfully loaded in NUs and GA-NUs with a high encapsulation efficiency of 93.04% and 93.37%, nanosized 175.46 nm and 157.66 nm, with a PDI of 0.27 and 0.22, respectively. Besides, FTIR and DSC analysis showed a successful conjugation between GA and NUs, where GA-C3G-NU showed better physicochemical stability under thermal, pH, and ionic conditions, as well as GA can significantly control the release of C3G preserving around 90.16%. Furthermore, GA-C3G-NU showed better performance in C3G retention under different food simulants ≥89%. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of C3G-NU and GA-C3G-NU was DPPH (50.33 and 43.64 μg VCE/mL, respectively), and ABTS (68.50, and 44.22 μg VCE/mL, respectively). All NUs showed biocompatibility in Caco-2 cells with no cytotoxicity, with higher cellular uptake for GA-C3G-NU. Therefore, GA-NU could be a promising nanocarrier for encapsulating, controlling, and delivering functional ingredients.

The substitutional structure of cyclotriphosphazene derivatives significantly influences their flame-retardant effectiveness. A cyclotriphosphazene derivative with triazole group, referred to as hexa(1,2,4-triazol-3-ylamine) cyclotriphosphazene (HATA), was utilized to improve the flame retardancy of epoxy resin (EP). Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis were employed to characterize the thermal properties of EP/HATA thermosets. HATA facilitated the curing of EP due to its triazole and secondary amine structure. EP/HATA thermosets exhibited improved char-forming ability and storage modulus, attributed to the rigid cyclophosphonitrile structure of HATA. As a result of incorporating 5% HATA with 0.73 wt% phosphorus, EP passed UL-94 V-0 level. Subsequent analysis using a cone calorimeter revealed obvious reductions in the peak heat release rate, fire growth rate, and total smoke production of EP with the addition of HATA. Simultaneously, there was a significant enhancement in the char yield of EP during combustion, indicating notable improvements in fire safety. Additional investigations, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, TG-FTIR, and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, were employed to analyze the char residue and gaseous volatiles. HATA promoted the formation of a dense, continuous, and intumescent char layer containing cyclophosphonitrile structure in EP. Moreover, the decomposition of HATA released a notable quantity of nitrogen-containing volatiles, effectively mitigating flammable gases originating from the EP matrix in gaseous phase. A biphasic flame-retardant mode of action was proposed, underscoring cooperative flame-retardant effects arising from the interaction between triazole substituents and cyclophosphonitrile structure in HATA molecular for EP.

The graphite-reinforced epoxy resin composite (Gr/EP) is considered one of the promising solid lubricating materials. However, the low thermal conductivity and correlated poor wear resistance cause limitations to its tribological applications. With the expectation to improve the thermal conductivity and wear property, carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced copper foams (CNTs/Cu f ) are introduced as 3-dimensional skeletons to reinforce Gr/EP composites. Herein, comprehensive testing was conducted to assess the wear resistance, thermal conductivity, microstructure, and wear morphology of the composites. The results revealed that incorporating Cu or CNTs/Cu foams into the Gr/EP matrix significantly enhanced thermal conductivity and wear resistance, with only minor elevation of the friction coefficients, which showed a consistent decline trend with increasing CNTs contents. Notably, with the CNT content of 0.159 wt%, the composites reached the favorable combination of a 25.4 % improvement in thermal conductivity and a 34 % reduction in wear rate compared to pure copper foam-reinforced Gr/EP composites.

Although soft contact lenses can be adapted to fit different people's eyes, their lack of durability and susceptibility to breakage still exist. The effect of N -vinyl-pyrrolidone (NVP) and 3-[Tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl] propyl methacrylate (TRIS) on the performance of conventional PMMA rigid contact lenses was investigated in this study. Unlike PMMA rigid contact lenses, we used in-situ copolymerization by introducing the hydrophilic NVP and the silicone-containing monomer TRIS into the molecular chain. We utilized the silicone element in the molecular chain of the copolymer, which has an affinity for oxygen, and the five-membered ring of NVP to allow water molecules to enter the poly(MMA-NVP-TRIS) contact lenses, creating dual channels of a water channel and a silicone channel to transport oxygen. The modified PMMA-based materials were under analysis for their structural, optical, mechanical and transparency features, such as light transmittance, oxygen permeability, and equilibrium water content and so on. Moreover, it was found that the introduction of NVP increased the surface wettability and water content of this material and that the introduction of TRIS increased the oxygen transmission value of this material. In addition, the oxygen transmissibility of poly(MMA-NVP-TRIS) contact lens was twice as high as that of soft commercial contact lenses (CCLs) and we used CCLs as a comparison to evaluate other comprehensive performances visually.

In the current study, a simple, recoverable, and stable sensor was developed based on SiO 2 spheres functionalized with 6-nm Au nanoparticles (SiO 2 @AuNPs). Fabrication procedures and analytical application of this sensor toward quantitative determination of diuron in the presence of interfering compound indole-3-acetic acid were verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods. It has been observed that diuron oxidation at the surface of sensor occurred at a potential of about 1.09 V which was 210 mV higher than that of indole-3-acetic acid, confirming that this newly prepared sensor appeared to be a good platform for the selective detection of diuron. Moreover, DPV demonstrated a linear relationship from 0.20 to 55 μmol/L and a detection limit of 51.9 nmol/L for diuron. Finally, this sensor was utilized for the determination of diuron in complex vegetable samples.

Dyestuffs and heavy metal ions in water are seriously harmful to the ecological environment and human health. Three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike Fe(OH) 3 microspheres were synthesized through a green yet low-cost injection method, for the removal of organic dyes and heavy metal ions. The Fe(OH) 3 microspheres were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The adsorption kinetics of Congo Red (CR) on Fe(OH) 3 microspheres obeyed the pseudo-second-order model. Cr 6 + and Pb 2 + adsorption behaviors on Fe(OH) 3 microspheres followed the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of the synthesized Fe(OH) 3 were 308, 52.94, and 75.64 mg/g for CR, Cr 6 + , and Pb 2 + respectively. The enhanced adsorption performance originated from its surface properties and large specific surface area of 250 m 2 /g. The microspheres also have excellent adsorption stability and recyclability . Another merit of the Fe(OH) 3 material is that it also acts as a Fenton-like catalyst. These twin functionalities (both as adsorbent and Fenton-like catalyst) give the synthesized Fe(OH) 3 microspheres great potential in the field of water treatment .

The Li 2 MgTi 1-x (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) x O 4 (0 ≤x ≤ 0.5) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state method. The relationship among phase composition, substitution amount and microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics was symmetrically investigated. All the samples possess the rock salt structure with the space group of Fm- 3 m . As the x value increases from 0 to 0.5, the dielectric constant linearly decreases from 16.75 to 15.56, which can be explained by the variation of Raman spectra and infrared spectra. The Q·f value shows an upward tendency in the range of 0 ≤x ≤ 0.3, but it then decreases when x > 0.3. In addition, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f ) is shifted toward zero with the increasing (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 4+ addition. By comparison, the Li 2 MgTi 0.7 (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 0.3 O 4 ceramics sintered at 1400 °C can achieve an excellent combination of microwave dielectric properties: ε r = 16.19, Q·f = 160,000 GHz and τ f = −3.14 ppm/°C.

The existence of energy transfer channels from the self-trapped exciton (STE) emission to lanthanide (Ln3+) ions in double perovskites (DPs) opens up new possibilities for high security anti-counterfeiting applications. In the present investigation, we synthesized Sb3+/Ho3+/Er3+ doped Cs2NaGdCl6 rare-earth-based DPs using a simple solvothermal method, whose luminescence could be quenched by water and restored after drying. The efficient down-shifting (DS) red emission from the 4f–4f transition of Ho3+ was enhanced 8-fold due to the energy transfer of STEs → Ho3+ ions via Sb3+ sensitization. The DS and up-conversion (UC) dual-mode multicolor emissions were obtained by further introducing Er3+. Specifically, the DS luminescence of the tri-doped sample under the UV region and that under 448 nm irradiation were white and red, respectively; and the UC luminescence under 980 nm irradiation was green. In view of their stimulus response to water and dual-mode multicolor luminescence properties, advanced anti-counterfeiting materials based on the obtained samples were designed.

This study investigates the corrosion mechanism of carbon steel (CS) induced by high-energy density materials (HEDMs), NTO and AP. CS exhibited corrosion rates of 1.314 mm/y and 8.690 mm/y when exposed to NTO and AP powders, respectively. However, these rates shifted to 9.050 mm/y for NTO and 3.597 mm/y for AP in solution. Experiments combining grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations demonstrate AP’s greater susceptibility to hygroscopicity, establishing a corrosive environment. CS maintains an unabated corrosion rate as Cl - from AP reduction damages corrosion products. Conversely, NTO’s compact corrosion products effectively delay CS corrosion.

The utilization of low-dimensional perovskites (LDPs) as interlayers on three-dimensional (3D) perovskites has been regarded as an efficient strategy to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells. Yet, the formation mechanism of LDPs and their impacts on the device performance remain elusive. Herein, we use dimensional engineering to facilitate the controllable growth of 1D and 2D structures on 3D perovskites. The differences of isomeric ligands in electrostatic potential distribution and steric effects for intermolecular forces contribute to different LDPs. The 1D structure facilitates charge transfer with favored channel orientation and energy level alignment. This approach enables perovskite solar modules (PSMs) using 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9′-spirobifluorene to achieve an efficiency of 20.20% over 10 by 10 square centimeters (cm2) and 22.05% over 6 by 6 cm2. In particular, a PSM (6 by 6 cm2) using poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] maintains an initial efficiency of ~95% after 1000 hours under the rigorous ISOS-L-3 accelerated aging tests, marking a record for the highest stability of n-i-p structure modules.
