Fluorescent, multifunctional anti-counterfeiting, fast response electrophoretic display based on TiO/CsPbBr composite particles.

Traditional optical anti-counterfeiting (AC) is achieved by static printed images, which makes them susceptible to lower levels of security and easier replication. Therefore, it is essential to develop AC device with dynamic modulation for higher security. Electrophoretic display (EPD) has the advantages of low power consumption, high ambient contrast ratio, and capability of showing dynamic images which is suitable for dynamic AC applications.

Cation-Modified Poly(vinyl alcohol) Film to Optimize the Bistability of Transparent Electrophoretic Display Based on Charge Adsorption Behavior in Nonpolar Solvent.

Electrophoretic displays (EPDs) utilize the electrophoretic particles in electronic ink (e-ink) to display different color states with bistability. Bistability of EPDs is achieved by placing colloidal particles in a highly viscous solvent to keep the distribution of colloidal particles stable without sustaining the external field, so it only consumes power when updating the image. The feature of low power consumption makes it suitable for applications such as advertising boards, price tags, etc.

Active matrix driven electrophoretic display with in-plane switching layout and driving waveform for reflective and transparent modes.

In-plane switching electrophoretic display (IPS-EPD) is an emerging field of display technology which achieves particles moving horizontally through a lateral electric field. Compared to vertically driven electrophoretic display (V-EPD), IPS-EPD exhibits the feasibility of transparent display function. However, most of the previous research was hindered by long response time, low optical transmittance, or complex structures.

High contrast ratio electrophoretic displays based on high structural stability and high transmittance microcup.

In the age of Internet of Things, electrophoretic electronic paper (E-paper) holds a unique position in the display area due to its energy-saving, environmental friendliness, excellent readability in strong ambient light, and eye protection. Compared with E-papers of microcapsules, microcups have several advantages including higher mechanical strength, lower production costs, and better feasibility to show multiple colors with high contrast, thereby making it a significant research interest. However, there is currently no systematic study on the structural mechanics and display performances of microcups.

Experimental demonstration of weak chirality enhancement by hybrid perovskite nanocrystals using photonic spin Hall effect.

Chiral perovskites have attracted considerable attention as excellent spin-emitting materials for applications in spintronics, quantum optics, and biological. Especially in drug development of biological, weak chirality molecules are frequently selected to reduce the side effects of toxics, and there is a common defect for accurately detecting the weak chirality with common methods at room temperature. In this study, formamidine lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals (FAPbBr NCs) were coated with chiral ligands, whose chirality was too weak to be observed in the visible region at room temperature.

Synergistic Effect of Salinized Quinone for Entrapment of Polysulfides for High-Performance Li-S Batteries.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention in the energy storage field due to their high theoretical energy density and low price. However, the dissolution of polysulfides and the "shuttle effect" lead to serious capacity degradation, which greatly hinders the industrial application of Li-S batteries. Herein, we propose a bifunctional quinone-type salt to anchor polysulfides and suppress their dissolution for use in high-performance Li-S batteries.
