Lead-Free All Inorganic Rubidium Copper Halide RbCuX (X = Cl, Br) for UVC Photodetector with Fast Response.

Recently, lead halide perovskites have shown great potential in the photodetection field. Unfortunately, the existence of toxic lead elements restricts their practical application. Herein, high-quality 1D lead-free crystals RbCuX (X = Cl, Br) are successfully synthesized in an acidic medium.

Shape-controlled, water-assisted synthesis of 2D luminescent CsPbBr perovskite microcrystals for highly responsive UV detectors.

Cesium-lead-halide (Cs-Pb-Br) perovskites have been a point of interest for researchers since their discovery for their extraordinary optical and electronic properties. Unlike other members of the Cs-Pb-Br family, CsPbBr is less explored. Herein, we synthesized 2D CsPbBr in an aqueous medium under ambient conditions.

Red luminescent water stable lead-free 2D tin halide perovskite nanocrystals for photodetectors.

In this report, we have synthesized an environmentally friendly hybrid organic-inorganic layered two-dimensional (2D) lead-free perovskite nanomaterial. The synthesized perovskites, namely (OleylAm)SnI (MHP1), exhibit outstanding water stability and emit luminous red light. The photodetector constructed using our material showcases superior characteristics, including a faster response than comparable devices and improved rise and fall times compared to other 2D perovskite nanomaterials.

Air-Processed All-Inorganic Halide Perovskites Integrated Photorechargeable Supercapacitors.

Due to their easy integration for self-powered operation, integrated energy harvesting and storage could be the game changer in smart, flexible, and portable electronic devices. Three-electrode integration is the most promising approach among all possible configurations because it is less complex and compatible with most techniques. Although the photoconversion efficiency has increased above 20% due to the integration of high-performance perovskite solar cells, the electrochemical storage efficiency (efficacy of the integration) is much below 80% due to a significant potential drop and impedance mismatch.

Synergistic Outcomes in Drug Delivery: Exploring Harmonious Architectures of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks.

Pharmaceutical excipients play a crucial role in determining the outcome of delivered therapeutic cargo density. By far, polymers have captured the biggest share in the excipients market. This surge in demand motivated researchers to look for newer and novel polymeric platforms.

From Vision Correction to Drug Delivery: Unraveling the Potential of Therapeutic Contact Lens.

Contact lenses (CLs) have become an essential tool in ocular drug delivery, providing effective treatment options for specific eye conditions. In recent advancements, Therapeutic CLs (TCLs) have emerged as a promising approach for maintaining therapeutic drug concentrations on the eye surface. TCLs offer unique attributes, including prolonged wear and a remarkable ability to enhance the bioavailability of loaded medications by more than 50%, thus gaining widespread usage.
