Chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides as promising circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emitter candidates hold great potential for high-definition displays and future spin-optoelectronics. The recent challenge lies primarily in developing high-performance red CPL emitters. Here, coupling the f-f transition characteristics of trivalent europium ions (Eu) with chirality, we construct the chiral Eu-based halides, (R/S-3BrMBA)EuCl, which exhibit strong and predictable red emission with large photoluminescence quantum yield (59.

The potential applications of circularly polarized phosphorescent materials in chiroptical devices have attracted considerable interest. Nevertheless, the design of efficient near-infrared/red circularly polarized phosphorescent pure organic materials remains a significant challenge, largely due to the limitations imposed by the energy-gap law and Wallach's rule. In this study, the chiral metal-free perovskite strategy is employed to overcome these restrictions.

Fluorinated organic cations  are used to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of quasi-2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite solar cells (2DRP PSCs), however, most of them focus fluorine substitution on the benzene ring. Herein, a novel α-fluorophenylethanimidamide (α-FPEIA) spacer cation with a fluorine atom at α-carbon of the amidine group is designed and employed to enhance the performance and stability of 2DRP PSCs. The single-crystal structure of (α-FPEIA)PbI exhibits stronger interaction between the organic cations and inorganic skeleton, with a larger angle of Pb-I-Pb, thus benefiting the charge transfer and improving lattice stability of perovskite film.

The pursuit of chiral lead-free metal halides with both high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and large luminescence dissymmetry factor (g) remains a priority for designing efficient circularly polarized light sources. However, a tradeoff exists between PLQY and g in chiral materials due to the mismatched electric (μ) and magnetic transition dipole moment (m). Herein, we address this contradiction and develop the efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emitters through structural dimension modulation.

The nonlinear chiroptical properties of chiral metal halide perovskite has attracted substantial attention in recent years. In order to overcome the inherent limitations of metal halide, such as high costs, potential toxicity, challenges with recycling, especially the limited laser-induced damage threshold (LDT), we have successfully constructed the first chiral metal-free anti-perovskite, with the aim of utilizing it in second harmonic generation-circular dichroism (SHG-CD). Moreover, the anti-perovskite composed entirely of small organic ions typically display a more extensive transparent window, which could contribute a high LDT.

The interplay between chirality with magnetism can break both the space and time inversion symmetry and have wide applications in information storage, photodetectors, multiferroics and spintronics. Herein, we report the chiral transition-metal complex cation-based lead halide, R-CDPB and S-CDPB. In contrast with the traditional chiral metal halides with organic cations, a novel strategy for chirality transfer from the transition-metal complex cation to the lead halide framework is developed.

Circularly polarized phosphorescent (CPP) materials, especially chiral platinum(II) complexes, which combine the advantages of both circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and phosphorescence, show broad potential applications in chiral optoelectronic devices. Developing CPP emitters with both excellent chiroptical properties and high yield is urgently needed. Here, a chiral cation strategy is employed to construct the CPP Pt(II) complexes /-ABA·[Pt(ppy)Cl] and /-MBA·[Pt(ppy)Cl] through a simple one-step reaction with almost 100% yield.

Dopants can endow lead-free perovskite nanocrystals with novel photoelectric properties. However, understanding the effect of dopants on the structure and energy transfer of lead-free perovskite nanocrystals remains limited. In this work, we synthesize zero-dimensional CsZrCl nanocrystals with a blue light quantum yield of up to 75.

Chiral three-dimensional (3D) perovskites exhibit exceptional optoelectronic characteristics and inherent chiroptical activity, which may overcome the limitations of low-dimensional chiral optoelectronic devices and achieve superior performance. The integrated chip of high-performance arbitrary polarized light detection is one of the aims of chiral optoelectronic devices and may be achieved by chiral 3D perovskites. Herein, we first fabricate the wafer-scale integrated full-Stokes polarimeter by the synergy of unprecedented chiral 3D perovskites (/-PyEA)PbBr and one-step capillary-bridge assembly technology.

Objective: The alterations of the functional network (FN) in anti-N-methyl-Daspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis have been recognized by functional magnetic resonance imaging studies. However, few studies using the electroencephalogram (EEG) have been performed to explore the possible FN changes in anti-NMDAR encephalitis. In this study, the aim was to explore any FN changes in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Generating circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with simultaneous high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and dissymmetry factor (g) is difficult due to usually unmatched electric transition dipole moment (μ) and magnetic transition dipole moment (m) of materials. Herein we tackle this issue by playing a "cascade cationic insertion" trick to achieve strong CPL (with PLQY of ~100 %) in lead-free metal halides with high g values reaching -2.3×10 without using any chiral inducers.

Solar distillation is a promising approach for addressing water scarcity, but relentless stress/strain perturbations induced by wind and waves would inevitably cause structural damage to solar absorbers. Despite notable advances in efficient solar absorbers, there have been no reports of compliant and robust solar absorbers withstanding practical mechanical impacts. Herein, an elastic and robust hydrogel absorber that exhibited a high level of evaporation performance was fabricated by introducing ion-coordinated MXene nanosheets as photothermal conversion units and mechanically enhanced fillers.

Due to the pronounced anisotropic response to circularly polarized light, chiral hybrid organic-inorganic metal halides have been regarded as promising candidates for the application in nonlinear chiroptics, especially for the second-harmonic generation circular dichroism (SHG-CD) effect. However, designing novel lead-free chiral hybrid metal halides with large anisotropy factors and high laser-induced damage thresholds (LDT) of SHG-CD remains challenging. Herein, we develop the first chiral hybrid germanium halide, (R/S-NEA) Ge I ⋅H O (R/S-NGI), and systematically investigated its linear and nonlinear chiroptical properties.

Metal-octaaminophthalocyanine (MOAPc)-based 2D conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) have shown great potential in several applications, including sensing, energy storage, and electrocatalysis, due to their bimetallic characteristics. Here, we report a detailed metal substitution study on a family of isostructural cMOFs with Co, Ni, and Cu as both the metal nodes and the metal centers in the MOAPc ligands. We observed that different metal nodes had variations in the reaction kinetics, particle sizes, and crystallinities.

Lead-free halide perovskite materials possess low toxicity, broadband luminescence and robust stability compared with conventional lead-based perovskites, thus holding great promise for eyes-friendly white light LEDs. However, the traditionally used preparation methods with a long period and limited product yield have curtailed the commercialization of these materials. Here we introduce a universal hydrochloric acid-assistant powder-to-powder strategy which can accomplish the goals of thermal-, pressure-free, eco-friendliness, short time, low cost and high product yield, simultaneously.

It is challenging to design one non-noble material with balanced bifunctional performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for commercial sustainability at a low cost since the different electrocatalytic mechanisms are not easily matchable for each other. Herein, a self-standing hybrid system Ni Fe Al , consisting of Ni Al and Ni Fe phases, was constructed by laser-assisted aluminum (Al) incorporation towards full water splitting. It was found that the incorporation of Al could effectively tune the morphologies, compositions and phases.

In this paper, we propose a novel, flower-like disk resonator (FDR). The structure is made up of concentrically meander-shaped rings that are interconnected by straight beams, which have the potential to provide lower resonant frequency, lower frequency split, higher quality factor (Q), and longer decay time (τ). In comparison to the traditional ring-like disk resonator (RDR), the FDR has better immunity to crystal orientation error and fabrication errors owing to its all-linear structure.

A 2D van der Waals (vdW) magnet can get rid of the constraints of lattice matching and compatibility and then create a variety of vdW heterostructures, which provides a opportunity for spintronic devices. However, the ability to reliably exfoliate large, high-quality vdW ferromagnetic FeGeTe (FGT) nanoflakes in scaled-up production is severely limited. Herein, an efficient and stable three-stage sonication-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation was developed for mass preparation of high-structural-integrity few- and single-layer FGT nanoflakes with a greatly enhanced intrinsic exchange bias.
