Under illumination of light-emitting diode (LED) or sunlight, the green color all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (CPB-NCs) often quickly changes to yellow, followed by large photoluminescence (PL) loss. To figure out what is happening on CPB-NCs during change process, morphology, structure, and PL evolutions are systematically investigated varying influence factors illumination, moisture, oxygen, temperature. We find that yellow mainly originated from CPB crystals formed in...
Abstract Achieving good stability while maintaining excellent properties is one of the main challenges for enhancing competitiveness luminescent perovskite CsPbX 3 (X=Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs).

The obtained -SiO 2 powders not only show photoluminescence quantum yield (~71%), but also an...

The present polyolefin hydrogenolysis recycling cases acknowledge that zerovalent Ru exhibits high catalytic activity. A pivotal rationale behind this assertion lies in the propensity of majority species to undergo reduction within milieu. Nonetheless, suitability as an optimal structural configuration for accommodating multiple elementary reactions remains ambiguous. Here, we have constructed stable Ru0–Ruδ+ complex species, even under reaction conditions, through surface ligand engineering...
