Precise material design and surface engineering play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of optoelectronic devices. These efforts are undertaken to particularly control the optoelectronic properties and regulate charge carrier dynamics at the surface and interface. In this study, we used ultrafast scanning electron microscopy (USEM), which is a powerful and highly sensitive surface tool that provides unique information about the photoactive charge dynamics of material surfaces selectively and spontaneously in real time and space in high spatial and temporal resolution.

Cutting-edge techniques utilizing continuous films made from pure, novel semiconductive materials offer promising pathways to achieve high performance and cost-effectiveness for X-ray detection. Semiconductive metal-organic framework (MOF) glass films are known for their remarkably smooth surface morphology, straightforward synthesis, and capability for large-area fabrication, presenting a new direction for high-performance X-ray detectors. Here, a novel material centered on MOF glasses for highly uniform glass film fabrication customized for X-ray detection is introduced.

This work focused on the preparation of novel antifouling paint based on CaCrO and CaMnO NPs as a safe protective pigment which were replaced with cuprous oxide. Three paint formulations were prepared for comparison, a blank formula without an antifouling agent (F1), a commercial antifouling formula based on 100% cuprous oxide as an antifouling agent (F2), and AF formula based on 75% CaCrO and CaMnO NPs and 25% CuO. The high performance and durability of the paints based on the prepared pigments were evident from their impact resistance, adhesion, pending, hardness, and chemical resistance, which were compared to the blank formula (F1).

Novel scintillation materials have played an indispensable role in the recent remarkable progress witnessed for X-ray imaging technology. Herein, a high-performance X-ray scintillation screen was developed based on a highly efficient hybrid system combining inorganic ZnS (Ag) with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) scintillator materials via an interfacial energy transfer (EnT) mechanism. ZnS (Ag) has a high X-ray absorption capacity and functions as the initial layer for efficiently converting high-energy X-ray photons into low-energy visible light (acting as a sensitizer) while also serving as an energy donor.
