Bottom Electrode Modification Enables Efficient and Bright Silicon-Based Top-Emission Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes.

The integration of perovskites with mature silicon platform has emerged as a promising approach in the development of efficient on-chip light sources and high-brightness displays. However, the performance of Si-based green perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) still falls significantly short compared to their red and near-infrared counterparts. In this study, it is revealed that the high work function Au, widely employed in Si-based top-emission PeLEDs as the reflective bottom electrode, exhibits considerably lower reflectivity in the green spectrum than in the longer wavelengths.

Unexpected response of terrestrial carbon sink to rural depopulation in China.

China is experiencing large-scale rural-urban migration and rapid urbanization, which have had significant impact on terrestrial carbon sink. However, the impact of rural-urban migration and its accompanying urban expansion on the carbon sink is unclear. Based on multisource remote sensing product data for 2000-2020, the soil microbial respiration equation, relative contribution rate, and threshold analysis, we explored the impact of rural depopulation on the carbon sink and its threshold.

[Spatial-temporal Evolution and Quantitative Attribution of Habitat Quality in Typical Karst Counties of Guizhou Plateau].

The purpose of this study was to reveal the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of habitat quality in karst counties of Guizhou plateau and its driving factors and to provide scientific basis for balanced ecological conservation and sustainable development of karst regions. Using DEM data, meteorological data, socio-economic data, and four periods of land use data in 1989, 2003, 2010, and 2020, the InVEST model was used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of habitat quality in Puding County from 1989 to 2020 and to quantitatively detect the driving forces of its spatial divergence. The results were as follows:① Arable land and forest land were the main land use types in Puding County, which constituted the surface cover landscape matrix.

Dielectric Regulation for Efficient Top-Emission Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes with Suppressed Efficiency Roll-off.

Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have shown incalculable application potential in the fields of next-generation displays and light communication owing to the rapidly increased external quantum efficiencies (EQEs). However, most PeLEDs obtain a maximum EQE at small current density (J) region and suffer from severe efficiency roll-off in different extents. Herein, it is demonstrated that the dopant with large dipole moment like KBF facilitates the effective dielectric regulation of perovskite emissive layer.

Threat of soil formation rate to health of karst ecosystem.

Karst ecosystems are important to several billion people, so it is necessary to accurately diagnose and evaluate the health of these ecosystems for socioeconomic development; however, the existing evaluation methods have many limitations, so they cannot accurately evaluate the ecosystem health in karst areas. In particular, they ignore the influence and restriction of the soil formation rate on the ecosystem health. To this end, we established a new index to represent the actual health status of karst ecosystems.

Accelerating the Improvement of Human Well-Being in China through Economic Growth and Policy Adjustment.

Human well-being in many countries lags behind the gross domestic product (GDP) due to the rapid changes in the socio-economic environment that have occurred for decades. However, the mechanisms behind this complex phenomenon are still unclear. This study revealed the changes in human well-being in China from 1995 to 2017 by revising the genuine progress indicator (GPI) at the national level and further quantified the contribution of interfering factors that have driven the increase in the GPI.

Influence of the Injection Scheme on the Enhanced Oil Recovery Ability of Heterogeneous Phase Combination Flooding in Mature Waterflooded Reservoirs.

With the maturity of waterflooded reservoirs, owing to serious heterogeneity, the fluid will channel through the thief zone, leading to considerable remaining oil unrecovered in the upswept area. To further enhance oil recovery (EOR) after waterflooding, the heterogeneous phase combination flooding (HPCF) was composed of a polymer, branched-preformed particle gel (B-PPG), and surfactant. For the sake of improving the economic efficiency, the influence of the injection scheme on the EOR of HPCF with an equal chemical agent cost was investigated by sand-pack flooding experiments.

High-resolution mapping of the global silicate weathering carbon sink and its long-term changes.

Climatic and non-climatic factors affect the chemical weathering of silicate rocks, which in turn affects the CO concentration in the atmosphere on a long-term scale. However, the coupling effects of these factors prevent us from clearly understanding of the global weathering carbon sink of silicate rocks. Here, using the improved first-order model with correlated factors and non-parametric methods, we produced spatiotemporal data sets (0.

Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Gerbils and the Mitogenome Phylogeny of Gerbillinae (Rodentia: Muridae).

To enrich the mitogenomic database of Gerbillinae (Rodentia: Muridae), mitogenomes of three gerbils from different genera, Meriones tamariscinus (16,393 bp), Brachiones przewalskii (16,357 bp), and Rhombomys opimus (16,352 bp), were elaborated and compared with those of other gerbils in the present study. The three gerbil mitogenomes consisted of 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. Here, gerbil mitogenomes have shown unique characteristics in terms of base composition, codon usage, non-coding region, and the replication origin of the light strand.

Limitations of soil moisture and formation rate on vegetation growth in karst areas.

Vegetation changes in karst areas are controlled by the soil formation rate (SFR) and soil moisture (SM). However, little is known about their thresholds and global control patterns. To this end, based on high-precision climate and vegetation data for 2000-2014, using Pearson correlation analysis, the Hurst index, and change-point analysis, the thresholds of the SFR and SM in vegetation growth in karst areas were identified.

The responses of weathering carbon sink to eco-hydrological processes in global rocks.

Eco-hydrological processes affect the chemical weathering carbon sink (CS) of rocks. However, due to data quality limitations, the magnitude of the CS of rocks and their responses to eco-hydrological processes are not accurately understood. Therefore, based on Global Erosion Model for CO fluxes (GEM-CO model), hydrological site data, and multi-source remote sensing data, we produced a 0.

Response of the weathering carbon sink in terrestrial rocks to climate variables and ecological restoration in China.

The weathering carbon sink (CS) of rocks has a sensitive response to different influencing factors, and it is important to accurately distinguish this response in the global carbon cycle. However, no quantitative analysis of the response mechanism has been performed. In this study, the CS of the 12 types of terrestrial rocks in China from 2000 to 2014 is estimated using the GEM-CO model.

Ecological security and health risk assessment of soil heavy metals on a village-level scale, based on different land use types.

Land use affects the accumulation of heavy metals in soil, which will endanger ecological safety and human health. Taking the village as an administrative unit, the ecological safety and health risks of heavy metals, namely, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb in soils in the Houzhai River Watershed of Guizhou Province, China, were evaluated based on land use types by the Hakanson potential ecological risk methods and human health risk model. Results showed that the spatial heterogeneity of Cu and Zn was greatly affected by primary structural factors, and Cr and Pb were interfered by both structural factors and human activities.
