In recent years, metal halide perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have garnered significant attention as they display high quantum efficiency, good spectral tunability, and are expected to have low processing costs. When the peak emission wavelength is beyond 900 nm the interest is even higher because of the critical importance of this wavelength for biomedical imaging, night vision, and sensing. However, many challenges persist in fabricating these high-performance NIR LEDs, particularly for wavelengths above 950 nm, which appear to be limited by low radiance and poor stability.

Tin halide perovskites are promising for optoelectronics, although their sensitivity to ambient conditions due to Sn(II) oxidation presents a challenge. Encapsulation techniques can mitigate degradation and facilitate advanced studies of the intrinsic properties. To study and improve the ambient stability of CsSnBr and CsSnI nanocrystal (NC) thin films, we explored various encapsulation methods: organic, inorganic, and hybrid.

Article Synopsis
  • Metalloporphyrins with open-shell transition metals like Ni(II) have a fast excited-state relaxation mechanism, which is explored in a nanographene-Ni(II) porphyrin conjugate.
  • Using variable temperature transient absorption and global fit analysis, the study reveals that after photoexcitation, vibrational cooling occurs in 1.6 ps, followed by a brief 20 ps window where some excited states decay radiatively before intersystem crossing.
  • At low temperatures, two relaxation pathways from the lowest triplet state to the ground state are identified: a slow process over 1.6 ns and a faster route influenced by a conical intersection, important for applications in energy harvesting and optoelectronics.

This study aimed to conduct a morphoquantitative and stereological evaluation, analyzing the cerebellum of domestic cat fetuses in the latter third of the gestational period. Fetal samples were obtained from a neutering campaign conducted in the municipality of Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil. The procedures and protocols used in this work adhere to the guidelines established by the ethics committee of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the University of São Paulo (FMVZ/USP), under the number CEUA 1935251121.

Colloidal perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have shown promise in tackling blue light-emitting diode challenges based on their tunable band gap and high photoluminescence efficiencies. However, high quality and large area dense NPL films have been proven to be very hard to prepare because of their chemical and physical fragility during the liquid phase deposition. Herein, we report a perovskite-polymer composite film deposition strategy with fine morphology engineering obtained using the blade coating method.
