Lead halide perovskite nanocrystal materials such as CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, and I) have triggered an intense research upsurge due to their excellent scintillation performance. Herein, an crystallization strategy is developed to grow CsPbBr nanocrystals (NCs) within a low-melting-point (280 °C) coordination polymer (CP) glass. The viscosity of coordination glass is reduced through a low-temperature (e.

Organic-inorganic metal halide (OIMH) glass offers the advantages of large-scale production, high transparency, and minimal light scattering. However, undesired crystallization in OIMH glass can occur, leading to deteriorated transparency. Herein, a series of bisphosphonium organic cations were designed to construct Mn-based metal halide crystals with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) near unity, alongside the development of highly thermally stable OIMH glasses.

The higher efficiency of electro-fermentation in synthesizing medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) compared to traditional fermentation has been acknowledged. However, the functional mechanisms of electrode-biofilm enhancing MCFAs synthesis remain research gaps. To address this, this study proposed a continuous flow electrode-biofilm reactor for chain elongation (CE).

Article Synopsis
  • Organic scintillators have advantages like abundant resources and easy preparation but suffer from poor X-ray attenuation and low exciton efficiency, which affects their performance.
  • A new type of organic phosphonium halide salt, specifically butyl(2-[2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]phenyl)diphenylphosphonium iodide (C4-I), has been developed to enhance scintillation efficiency through thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).
  • C4-I shows impressive results, including a photoluminescence quantum yield of 100%, excellent light yield of 80721 photons/MeV, and strong X-ray attenuation, creating promising prospects for the future design of efficient organic scintillators.

Despite the increased research efforts aimed at understanding iron-based conductive materials (CMs) for facilitating chain elongation (CE) to produce medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), the impact of these materials on microbial community functions and the adaptation mechanisms to their biotoxicity remain unclear. This study found that the supply of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and magnetite enhanced the MCFAs carbon-flow distribution by 26 % and 52 %, respectively. Metagenomic analysis revealed the upregulation of fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism and ABC transporters with ZVI and magnetite.

Chinese medicine residues (CMHRs) resource is attracting widespread attention, as it is expected to be produced into Humus-rich fertilizer for soil application. This study aimed to promote effective humus (HS) production through lignocellulose-degrading bacteria (LDB) addition and explore the biological regulation mechanism of LDB affecting lignocellulose-to-humus conversion. The results showed higher HS production was achieved, with 109.
