The poor stability of all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) limits its application in the field of optoelectronics although it possesses prominent luminescent properties. Herein, we proposed a selective nucleation-growth strategy through anchoring the CsPbBr 3 QDs on the aminated hierarchical three-dimensional layered double hydroxide (A3D-LDH). The strong interaction between the amino group and Pb 2+ endows the anchoring effect of A3D-LDH. Coordinated with the isolation effect of flower-like structure, the A3D-LDH/CsPbBr 3 composites exhibited high solid photo-luminescence quantum yield (82.35%) and enhanced stability against the adverse environment (humidity air, irradiation, and heat), which is attributed to restricted aggregation and surface passivation of CsPbBr 3 QDs. Benefiting from the advantageous properties, an efficient white light-emitting diode (LED) is fabricated by introducing A3D-LDH/CsPbBr 3 composites as green phosphors with color coordinates (0.349, 0.349) at a correlated color temperature of 4841 K. We believe that our method offered a promising candidate for solid-state lighting and display.

Mn doped two-dimensional (2D) layered perovskites , are becoming excellent candidates as red phosphor because of their high quantum yields (QY) and enhanced stability. However, these Mn doped 2D layered perovskites can only be excited by the near UV light , which largely limits the development of perovskites. Herein, blue-excitable Mn-doped PEA 2 (Pb/Mn)(Br/I) 4 PQDs are synthesized from anion exchange surface engineering strategy. After anion exchange, orange Mn 2+ emission from exciton-to-Mn energy transfer is acquired under the excitation of 450 nm. The PEA 2 (Pb/Mn)(Br/I) 4 compounds exhibit strong luminescence with photoluminescence (PL) QY of 52%, which is comparable to most of the reported red emitting phosphors. A prototype white light-emitting diode (WLED) with good optical performance was fabricated using commercial (Sr,Ba) 2 SiO 4 :Eu phosphor and as-prepared PEA 2 (Pb/Mn)(Br/I) 4 as green and orange color converters, showing great potential in the applications of solid state lighting.

InP quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as promising materials for replacing cadmium-based QDs in view of their heavy metal-free and tunable luminescence. However, the development of InP QD materials still lags due to the expensive and flammable phosphorus precursors, and also the unsatisfactory repeatability caused by the fast nucleation rate. Adopting lowly reactive P precursor aminophosphine can overcome this issue, but their low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and widening line widths do not apply to the practical application. Through engineering, the core-shell structure of QD, significantly promoted green emissions of QDs were obtained with PLQY of 95% and full width and half maximum (FWHM) of 45 nm, which demonstrated the highest PLQY record obtained from the aminophosphine system. Moreover, due to the residue halogen atoms on the QD surface as inorganic ligands to prevent further oxidization, these InP QDs demonstrated the ultra-long operational lifetime (over 1000 h) for QDs based color enhancement film. By optimizing the device structure, an inverted green InP quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) with external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.06% was also demonstrated, which showed a significant promise of these InP QDs in highly effective optoelectronic devices.

A pair of composite probes based on aptamer modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-perovskite quantum dots (POSS-PQDs-Apt) as signal probe and titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 ) MXenes as quencher were prepared for the first time. They were employed to fabricate one turn-on–type aptasensor relying on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) determination. The POSS-PQDs-Apt can be adsorbed on the MXenes nanosheets, and its fluorescence was quenched due to the FRET. After the composite probes were incubated with VP for 50 min, the POSS-PQDs-Apt binding with VP can be released from the surface of MXenes, and the signal recovered due to its higher affinity to the VP than MXenes. The fluorescence intensity from 519 nm emission of the system was measured at 480 nm excitation. Under In optimized conditions, the assay can determine VP in the concentration range 10 2 - 10 6 cfu/mL, and the detection limit (LOD) was 30 cfu/mL using fluorescence detection. The LOD is still 100 cfu/mL by naked eye detection which is proper for on-line monitoring VP in aquaculture water. This method was also used to detect VP in actual samples of seawater, the recovery of spiked samples was between 93% and 106%, and relative standard deviation (RSD) was between 2.7% and 6.7%. The result is consistent with the plate count. Therefore, this assay could provide a candidate platform for screening VP in aquaculture industry. Graphical abstract

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are emerging as promising light-conversion materials for light-emitting diode (LED) display applications. However, the practical application of PNCs is hindered by their labile surface and dynamic ionic ligand binding. Here, we report a post-synthetic surface passivation strategy to stabilize the CsPbBr3 PNCs by zinc methacrylate (ZnMA) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) co-passivation. Surface analyses reveal that the ZnMA stabilizes the PNCs by replacing the surface ammonium ligands, and TOPO further coordinates to the ZnMA to provide a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the PNCs. Moreover, the ZnMA capping on the PNC surface could participate in the polymerization of MMA to form a crosslinked polymer shell around the PNCs. The resultant PNCs–PMMA film presents a PLQY of 74% and maintains a constant PL intensity under continuous UV irradiation in air, while the PNCs–PMMA film made of classical PNCs quickly degrades. The prepared PNCs–PMMA film was tested as the light down-conversion layer in LED backlighting and presented photostability comparable to classical CdSe/ZnS NCs–PMMA under continuous illumination. This surface passivation strategy avoids the use of ionic ligands for the surface passivation of PNCs in polymer matrices, and we expect related surface chemistry to promote the performance enhancement of diverse PNCs–polymer composites for LEDs and other optoelectronic applications.

The development of highly active and stable catalysts is a critical challenge which affects the practical application of the direct methanol fuel cells. Alloying Pt with other metals is an effective strategy to form the bimetallic or trimetallic catalysts, which not only decreases the consumption of Pt but also optimizes the electronic structure of Pt, in turn enhancing the catalytic activity. Herein, we use a facile one-pot solvothermal reduction method to synthesize Ag nanocubes (NCs) enclosed by PtRh nanoparticles as a trimetallic Ag@PtRhAg NC core–shell catalyst toward methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Notably, the core–shell structure is formed because of the presence of N,N-dimethylacetamide, which promotes the preferential reduction of Ag by reducing the reduction potential of Ag atoms. Meanwhile, the bromide ions originating from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide controlled the growth of the cubic morphology. Benefiting from the pleated exterior providing more active sites and the synergistic effect between Pt, Rh, and Ag, the mass and specific activities of Ag@PtRhAg NCs are 4.22 and 3.78 times higher than those of commercial Pt/C, respectively. More impressively, because of the better CO tolerance, Ag@PtRhAg NCs display strengthened durability by maintaining 84.9% mass activity after 1000 MOR cycles compared to the initial value. The present work provides a one-step strategy to synthesize a core–shell nanostructure catalyst for enhancing the MOR activity.

In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) layered tin halide perovskites have attracted much attention due to their excellent luminescence properties compared with their three-dimensional (3D) analogs. Here, we synthesized 2D perovskites of the form (RNH3)2SnBr4 through a facile hot-injection approach without the use of toxic tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP) as the solvent. We found that these compounds have strong photoluminescence (PL) emission with high PL quantum yields (QY) of 35% ((C6H13NH3)2SnBr4), 82% ((C8H17NH3)2SnBr4), 60% ((C12H25NH3)2SnBr4) and 50% ((C18H35NH3)2SnBr4). Among them, ((C6H13NH3)2SnBr4) was synthesized for the first time; however, (C18H36NH3)2SnBr4 perovskites showed the best stability with a PL QY decrease of less than 1% after 30 days under ambient air and humidity conditions. In addition, other 2D (C8H17NH3)2SnX4 (X = Br, I, or mixture) perovskites were prepared by adjusting the halide ratio, resulting in spectral tunability from yellow to red. Interestingly, through Zn2+ doping, the morphology became more uniform, and the PL stability was significantly improved. Finally, we used Zn2+-doped (C8H17NH3)2SnBr4 yellow phosphor to fabricate UV-pumped yellow LEDs. We expect these 2D perovskites to be promising phosphors in future solid-state lighting and display technologies.

In this study, monodispersed NiRu nanocrystals with a diameter of 3 nm were synthesized at 90 °C via a tuning hot-inject method to lower the temperature of the organic phase synthesis of monodispersed nanomaterials. The key factor for the nanocrystalline formation of NiRu alloy nanocrystals was summarized in detail. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of Ni and Ru in CO2 methanation was explored. Doping trace Ru can significantly improve the conversion rate of CO2 methanation and CH4 selectivity. The underlying mechanism was studied in detail via X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed hydrogen reduction (H2-TPR) and desorption (H2-TPD) tests, and temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD). This study gives out a new way for the general synthesis of monodisperse nickel-based nanocrystals and provides a reference for the development and application of monodispersed nanoparticles for CO2 methanation.

Oil phase CuInSe 2 quantum dots (CISe QDs) were synthesized via a hot-injection method, exhibiting a near-infrared (NIR) emission wavelength of 710 nm with poor fluorescence intensity. Therefore, we address this challenge by introducing two strategies: doping and ligand exchange. First, Zn was used as a dopant to improve the fluorescent properties of CISe QDs synthesized by the same method. The PL peak position of the resulting Zn–CuInSe (ZnCISe) QDs could be tuned from 600 nm to 662 nm, and the PL intensity of the QDs was greatly improved. Except that, this Zn doping strategy can help to improve the fluorescence lifetime and reduce defects, leading to increased quantum yield. Next, the aqueous phase transfer of ZnCISe QDs was achieved through an efficient ligand exchange strategy using glutathione (GSH) as the bifunctional ligand. Mercaptoacetic acid (MPA) was also used as an essential additive for GSH ligand exchange. With this method, we obtained high-quality hydrophilic ZnCISe QDs with particle sizes less than 3 nm and good monodispersity. In addition, DLS measurements showed a unimodal peak shape of the hydrated ZnCISe QDs in ultrapure water with particle sizes ranging from 7 nm to 40 nm. Finally, the cytotoxicity studies revealed that the viabilities of the cells incubated with ZnCISe QDs from 1 μ g/mL to 18 μ g/mL remained at levels greater than 90%, which indicates that QDs with good biocompatibility are promising fluorescent probes.

All-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are generally prepared by liquid phase method with the help of volatile organic solvents, inert gas protection and complex organometallic precursors. Herein, a simple, efficient and green method based on all-solid-state mechanochemical synthesis is proposed to prepare CsPbBr 3 NCs. NCs with excellent performance can be prepared by grinding raw materials CsBr and PbBr 2 through high energy ball milling, and prepared NCs show good stability in ethanol and living conditions. Interestingly, CsPbBr 3 NCs prepared by ball milling have a sudden increase in their fluorescence intensity dispersed in water. After soaking for 8 h, CsPbBr 3 NCs have been almost entirely transformed into CsPb 2 Br 5 NCs. The fluorescence intensity of samples is 80 times of that before soaking, and absolute PL quantum yield (PLQY) of samples increases significantly by up to 92%. These results provide a strong evidence for the current debate about whether CsPb 2 Br 5 emits light and propose a deeper understanding about structural transition from orthorhombic CsPbBr 3 to tetragonal CsPb 2 Br 5 , which is of great significance to the application of CsPb 2 Br 5 in optoelectronic devices. This will provide a new idea for the synthesis and transformation of halide perovskites.

CuInSe2 quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most important Cd-free fluorescent probes; they usually exhibited low fluorescence intensity, suggesting that a considerable amount of absorbed photon energy was lost as heat. In this study we aimed to improve the fluorescence intensity of CuInSe2 QDs and investigate their photoacoustic (PA) signal resulting from the heat dissipation, which was previously rarely reported. Cu–In–Zn–Se/ZnSe QDs were synthesized by adopting two strategies of Zn doping and ZnSe shell growth. It was found that there was an upper limit for Zn concentration beyond which the fluorescence intensity began to decrease. In addition, a blue shift of the emission peak of Cu–In–Zn–Se/ZnSe QDs was observed at high concentrations of ZnSe precursor due to the diffusion of excessive Zn. To prepare the dual-modal fluorescence and PA imaging probe, poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) (PMAO) modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) was coated on the QDs, which led to a slight reduction in fluorescence. Cellular labeling on HeLa cells was performed to demonstrate the utility of these probes for fluorescence imaging. We further studied the in vitro PA imaging capabilities of the Cu–In–Zn–Se/ZnSe/PMAO-g-PEG nanoparticles, which showed a distinct PA signal beyond 1.0 mg ml−1. The current work demonstrated that a moderate amount of Zn doping is necessary for enhancing fluorescence and there is a limit beyond which the fluorescence will be diminished. We also demonstrated the proof of concept that Cu–In–Zn–Se/ZnSe QDs are able to serve as a potential PA imaging contrast agent.

Blinking fluorophore perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) were employed to image the fine structure of the polystyrene (PS) electrospun fibers. The conditions of CsPbBr 3 NCs embedded and dispersed into PS were investigated and optimized. The stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy is employed to visualize the fine structure of the resulted CsPbBr 3 @PS electrospun fibers at sub-diffraction limit. The determined resolution in the reconstructed nanoscopic image is around 25.5 nm, which is much narrower than that of conventional fluorescence image. The complex reticulation and multicompartment in bead sub-diffraction-limited structures of CsPbBr 3 @PS electrospun fibers were successfully mapped with the help of the stochastic blinking properties of CsPbBr 3 NCs. This work demonstrated the potential applications of CsPbBr 3 perovskite NCs in super-resolution fluorescence imaging to reconstruct the sub-diffraction-limited features of polymeric material.
