Stability of Cesium-Based Lead Halide Perovskites under UV Radiation.

Lead halide perovskites have been extensively studied for their potential applications, including photodetectors, solar cells, and high-energy radiation detection. These applications are possible because of their unique optoelectronic properties, such as tunable band gap, high optical absorption coefficient, and unique defect self-healing properties, which result in high defect tolerance. Despite these advantages, the long-term stability remains a critical issue that could hinder commercial applications of these materials.

Harnessing an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus to improve the adaptability of a facultative metallophytic poplar (Populus yunnanensis) to cadmium stress: Physiological and molecular responses.

Populus yunnanensis Dode, a facultative metallophytic poplar, exhibits afforestation potential in barren mine tailing areas. However, the interactions and functional roles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) in P. yunnanensis adaptability to heavy metal stress remain unclear.
