Green Solvent Selection for All Solution-Processed Inverted Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode.

Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have gained attention as potential display technologies. However, the solvents used to dissolve a polymeric hole transport layer (HTL) are hazardous to both humans and the environment. Additionally, intermixing the HTL and QD layers presents a significant challenge when fabricating inverted QD-LEDs.

Photoluminescence enhancement in quantum-dot-polymer films with CO micropores through KHCO decomposition.

Quantum-dot (QDs) polymer composite films, which are key components in recent display applications, require improved photoluminescence (PL) intensity and color conversion efficiency for better display quality and low power consumption. In this study, we developed a novel approach to improve the photoluminescence (PL) of quantum dot (QDs)-polymer nanocomposite films. This was achieved by incorporating CO micropores and scattering particles into QD-embedded photopolymerizable polymer films.

Difficult tracheostomy tube placement in an obese patient with a short neck -A case report-.

We report a difficult case of tracheostomy in a 34-year-old obese woman with a short neck. The tracheostomy tube placement repeatedly failed because of anatomical changes due to obesity and a short neck, tracheal mucosal swelling due to prolonged intubation, and unexpected false passage; however, it was successfully performed using an endotracheal tube exchanger as a guidewire.
