We developed type-II core–shell nanocrystals (NCs) with a chiral low-dimensional perovskite shell and an achiral 3D MAPbBr3 core. The core–shell NCs exhibit spin-polarized luminescence at the first excitation band of the achiral core, which is due to the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect-governed spin-dependent shell-to-core electron transportation and the subsequent electron–hole recombination in the core. The preferred spin state of the transferred electrons is determined by the handness of the chiral shell. For the core–shell NCs film, a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 54% and a circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a maximum |glum| of 4.0 × 10–3 are obtained at room temperature. Finally, we achieved a spin-polarized light-emitting diode (spin-LED), affording a circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) with a |gCP-EL|of 6.0 × 10–3 under ambient conditions.

Ultrathin gold nanowires (AuNWs) have an important role and promising applications in areas of wearable sensors, matter detection, and flexible transparent electronic materials. But oleylamine (OAm) ligand on the ultrathin AuNWs surface leads to high junction resistance and the inherent Rayleigh instability leads to decomposition into gold spheres within a few days. To eliminate these two disadvantages, herein, the implementation of one facile H 2 S gas treatment method to improve the conductivity and stability of ultrathin AuNWs is tried. The conductivity of AuNWs on the interdigital electrode can be improved by 4 × 10 7 times because the AuNWs became bent and cross-linked, due to the H 2 S exchange of the ligand OAm. In addition, the conductivity of the three-layer ultrathin AuNW film on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can be improved by at least 2000 times. The ultrafine structure of AuNWs can be maintained for more than 1 week at room temperature, which attributes to H 2 S that can protect the surface structure of AuNWs. The findings highlight a new method of the ultrathin AuNWs for exceeding improvement in electronic conduction and stability.

Red-emitting CsPbI3 perovskite materials are still limited in various commercial applications because of their stability being related to the morphology and dimension. In this paper, a solvothermal method was developed to fabricate CsPbI3 perovskite nanomaterials with governable morphologies (e.g., nanoplatelets (NPLs) to nanocubes (NCs)) and dimensions ranging from the zero-dimensional (0D) Cs4PbI6 to the three-dimensional (3D) CsPbI3. By adjusting the amount of Cs precursor solutions, the photoluminescence (PL) peak position of the samples was tuned over the whole red-emitting region (from 607 to 700 nm). In addition, the reaction temperature affected the PL properties of the samples and demonstrated that temperature was critical to control the performance of CsPbI3 perovskite materials. Furthermore, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) was chosen as the additive to improve the stability of the prepared samples. The result provided an approach to get CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals with stabile PL. Finally, CsPbI3 NPLs embedded in the polystyrene film displayed bright and stable white light emission.

Due to the difficulty in controlling thermodynamics and kinetics of the growth for branched bimetallic metal alloy nanocrystals in a solution system, understanding the growth mechanisms of this class of nanostructures is critical for their shape-controlled synthesis. Herein, we report an approach to control over shape of branched PtNi alloy nanocrystals by tuning the molar ratio of Pt to Ni in an oleyamine solution. The detailed analyses confirmed that the morphologies of PtNi alloy nanocrystals evolve from dendrites (less than 5 at% Ni) to multipods (5–10 at% Ni) to star shapes (10–20 at% Ni) and finally to polyhedrons (100 at% Ni) as the nickel content in PtNi alloy nanocrystals increase. During the morphology evolution, the growth mechanism changes from oriented attachment growth to a new mechanism combining oriented attachment and anisotropic overgrowth, then to kinetically controlled overgrowth and finally to thermodynamic control growth. More importantly, we find that the growth of branched PtNi alloy nanocrystals is always along the [220] direction, and the growth direction determines the number of branches in nanocrystals. Electrochemical results show that highly branched PtNi alloy nanocrystals exhibit significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity and durability compared with commercial Pt catalysts. These in-depth findings will provide new hints to precisely control synthesis of highly branched PtNi nanocrystals.

CsPbBr 3 perovskite exhibits potential application in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction into valuable chemical fuels; however, enhancing carrier separation capability of the CsPbBr 3 and fully understanding the CO 2 reduction reaction process are still imperative. Herein, a new series of x SnS 2 /CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals (NCs)- y heterostructures are developed, which exhibit better catalytic activity in comparison with pure CsPbBr 3 NCs. Interface and surface carrier dynamic investigation reveals that this heterojunction structure can effectively improve carrier separation efficiency. Based on the interfacial electric field direction of CsPbBr 3 to SnS 2 , it is suggested that SnS 2 /CsPbBr 3 NC heterostructure satisfies Z-scheme transfer dynamics. Meanwhile, by the aid of in situ surface photovoltage, it is experimentally confirmed there is dynamic carrier interaction between CO 2 molecules and the SnS 2 /CsPbBr 3 NCs photocatalyst under irradiation, and a photocatalytic CO 2 reduction mechanism is thus proposed. This work expands the awareness of the interaction between CO 2 and the photocatalyst, which can be strongly influenced by carrier separation efficiency at the photocatalyst heterojunction.

A dual-emission fluorescent nanoprobe was successfully constructed through self-assembling CsPbBr 3 perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr 3 PNCs) and tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS). Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is observed to directly quench the green fluorescence of CsPbBr 3 PNCs at 520 nm in the absence of an enzyme substrate, but has no significant influence on the red emission of TPPS at 650 nm. The decreased value of the fluorescence intensities ratio at 520 to 650 nm (ΔF 520 /F 650 ) is proportional to the logarithmic value of AChE activity ranging from 0.05 to 1.0 U/L. The limit of detection is as low as 0.0042 U/L. The relative standard deviation is 3.6% in eleven consecutive measurements of 0.2 U/L AChE. The method exhibits a good anti-interference capacity since it does not respond to most concomitant species. Satisfactory results are acquired for the determination of AChE activity in human serum samples.

Colloidal cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) demonstrate supreme optical properties in the spectra region of infrared, red, and green. High-performance blue-emitting counterparts are still eagerly required for next-generation full-color displays. However, it is challenging to obtain efficient blue perovskite NCs, especially in a deep blue region with an emission wavelength of around 460 nm or shorter. Herein, calcium halide and ammonium ions are applied simultaneously to modify the CsPb(Br/Cl)3NCs in situ to reduce surface defects, finally remarkably enhancing the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) from 13% to 93% with an emission peak at 455 nm and the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates at (0.147, 0.030), which is close to the requirement of the Rec.2020 standard and also meets the requirement of blue emission in DCI-P3. Bright white emission and a wide color gamut are also achieved by combining the commercial red-emitting and green-emitting phosphors. The combination of time-resolved PL spectra and femtosecond transient absorption results discloses the reason for PLQY improvement as suppressing the nonradiative recombination.Keywords:CsPb(Br/Cl)3nanocrystals;surface passivation;blue emission;ammonium ion;calcium

Defect engineering is an effective strategy to improve the catalytic activity of metal oxides, and quantitative characterization of surface defects is thus vital to the understanding and application of metal oxide catalysts. Herein, we found that ZnO nanoparticles with oxygen vacancy could trigger the luminol–H2O2 system to emit a strong chemiluminescence (CL), and the CL intensity was strongly dependent on the oxygen vacancy of the ZnO nanoparticles. The mechanism of this CL reaction was discussed by means of the electron-spin resonance spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and CL spectrum. The oxygen vacancy-dependent CL was attributed to the ability of the oxygen vacancy to readily adsorb and further dissociate H2O2 into active •OH radicals. Taking advantage of this oxygen vacancy-dependent CL, we presented one method for quantifying the oxygen defects in ZnO. Compared with the current evaluation techniques (XPS and Raman spectroscopy), this CL method is rapid, low-cost, and easy to operate. This work introduces the CL technique into the field of material structure–property evaluation, and provides a new approach for exploring the defect function in ZnO defect engineering.

Graphical Greener approach to toluene oxidation : Pb-free Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 @BiOBr perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are anchored on the surface of NH x -rich monodisperse silica (A−SiO 2 ) via N−Bi chemical bonding to isolate QDs from each other, thus enhancing surface passivation and suppressing optical decay. Additionally, the novel composites as photocatalysts are used to drive the oxidation of toluene and demonstrate astonishing conversion rates with high selectivity. All-inorganic metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted attention from researchers with their fascinating optoelectronic properties. However, blue-emitting perovskite QDs typically have low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). For potential commercial applications, it is preferable to replace Pb with an element having low toxicity. Here, Pb-free Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 @BiOBr perovskite QDs were anchored on the surface of NH x -rich monodisperse silica (A−SiO 2 ) via N−Bi chemical bonding to isolate QDs from each other, thus enhancing efficient surface passivation and suppressing optical decay. Compared to unanchored QDs, Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 @BiOBr QDs/A−SiO 2 composites exhibited significantly enhanced blue emission performance, the PLQY of which increased from 16.62 % to 77.26 %, in addition to good water and environmental stability. Finally, the novel composites as photocatalysts were used to drive the oxidation of toluene, a template reaction of C(sp 3 )−H bond activation and demonstrated astonishing conversion rates (4317 μmol g −1 h −1 ) with high selectivity (around 87 %).

Photoresponsive luminescent materials (PLMs) have attracted much attention in various optoelectronic fields, especially in optical data storage. Multi-wavelength (N-wavelength) based optical storage is a promising approach to increase the data storage density, but its current application is limited by the fact that most PLMs have only two-wavelength emissive states after certain light excitation, which requires simultaneous use of several PLMs and different irradiation light sources. In this study, we discovered that the wavelength of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) in the presence of dichloromethane (DCM) could be continuously and precisely tuned over a very wide color range (from red to violet) with the help of a single UV light source. The changes in crystal structures and optical properties of PNCs during UV irradiation were investigated in detail; the effects of capping ligand, solvent, UV irradiation power and time were evaluated, and the mechanism of UV triggered PNC fluorescence change was studied and is discussed. Finally, the applicability of PNCs/DCM film in N-wavelength-based high-density optical data storage was verified.

All-inorganic metal halides perovskites , such as CsPbX 3 quantum dots (QDs), are high-performance photoelectric materials ; they have attracted considerable attention for applications such as LEDs and laser and solar cells. Herein, we report an anion hot injection (HI) method to prepare CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I, Cl/Br, and Br/I) QDs using trimethylhalosilane (TMXS) as a halogen ion donor. By adjusting the ratio of different TMXSs (trimethylchlorosilane, trimethylbromosilane, and trimethyliodosilane), the synthesized samples can achieve tunable emission in the range of 416–710 nm, narrow emission line widths of 13–33 nm, and luminescence lifetimes of 32–223 ns. These QDs also have better stability in external environment compared with those obtained using traditional HI method.
