Controlling the random lasing action from disordered media is important to obtain customizable lasers with unprecedented properties. In this paper, systematic investigations of random scattering based on GaAs/AlGaAs axial heterostructure nanowire (NW) arrays are presented. By manipulating the diameter and density of GaAs/AlGaAs axial heterostructure NWs during growth, different types of random lasers (Anderson localized and delocalized random lasers) have been successfully realized.

Room-temperature lasing based on low-dimensional GaAs nanowires (NWs) is one of the most critical and challenging issues in realizing near-infrared lasers for nanophotonics. In this article, the random lasing characteristics based on GaAs NW arrays have been discussed theoretically. According to the simulation, GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell NWs with an optimal diameter, density, and Al content in the shell have been grown.

Metal halide perovskites, particularly the quasi-two-dimensional perovskite subclass, have exhibited considerable potential for next-generation electroluminescent materials for lighting and display. Nevertheless, the presence of defects within these perovskites has a substantial influence on the emission efficiency and durability of the devices. In this study, we revealed a synergistic passivation mechanism on perovskite films by using a dual-functional compound of potassium bromide.

The novel polychloromethylation/acyloxylation of 1,6-enynes with chloroalkanes and diacyl peroxides through dual-role designs has been developed to prepare 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives with polychloromethyl units with the use of an inexpensive copper salt under mild conditions. This strategy includes two dual-role designs, not only improving atomic utilization but also allowing a cleaner process. The wide substrate scope and simple reaction conditions demonstrate the practicability of this protocol.

Metal-halide perovskites are promising light-emitting materials due to their continually tunable emission peak, high color purity, high emission efficiency, and low cost. Incorporating some two-dimensional (2D) perovskites into the three-dimensional (3D) perovskite can facilitate carrier localization to the emitting area and reduce nonradiative recombination. However, the incorporated 2D perovskites typically contain diverse phases with different bandgaps and random distribution, which significantly limits the performance of perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs).
