Photon storage with nanosecond switching was implemented with indirect excitons in coupled quantum well nanostructures. The storage and release of photons was controlled by the gate voltage pulses. The nanosecond write and readout times were much shorter than the storage time, which reached microseconds. Furthermore, the presented control of excitons on a time scale much shorter than the exciton lifetime demonstrates the feasibility of studying excitons in in situ controlled electrostatic traps.

Photoassisted lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a promising approach to enhance the catalytic transformation kinetics of polysulfide. However, the development is greatly hindered by inadequate photo absorption and severe photoexcited carriers recombination. Herein, a photonic crystal sulfide heterojunction structure is designed as a bifunctional electrode scaffold for photoassisted Li-S batteries.

In this research, we synthesized a series of TiCT nanosheets with varying lateral dimensions and conducted a thorough investigation into the profound relationship between the electrochemical performance of TiCT materials and their lateral sizes. This study innovatively incorporates a clever combination of small-sized and large-sized TiCT nanosheets in the electrode preparation process. This strategy yields excellent results at low scan rates, with the fabricated electrode achieving a high volumetric capacitance of approximately 658 F/g.

Aqueous Zn batteries are gaining increasing research attention in the energy storage area due to their intrinsic safety, potentially low cost and environmental friendliness; however, the zinc dendrite formation, zinc corrosion, passivation and the hydrogen evolution reaction induced by water at the anode side, and materials dissolution as well as intrinsic poor reaction kinetics at cathode side in aqueous systems, seriously shorten the cycling life and decrease energy density of batteries and greatly hinder their development. Recent advancements in asymmetric electrolytes with various functions are promising to overcome such challenges for zinc batteries at the same time. It has been proved that the applications of asymmetric electrolytes show significant contributions in the field of zinc-based batteries in suppressing side reactions while maintaining electrochemical performance to satisfy both anode and cathode.

Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Despite therapeutic advancements, there remains a critical need for reliable, noninvasive methods to monitor multiple myeloma. Circulating plasma cells (CPCs) in peripheral blood are robust and independent prognostic markers, but their detection is challenging due to their low abundance.

Metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPls) possess ultra-narrow photoluminescence (PL) bands tunable over the entire visible spectral range, which makes them promising for utilization in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with spectrally pure emission colors. This calls for development of synthetic methods toward perovskite NPls with a high degree of control over both their thickness and lateral dimensions. A general strategy is developed to obtain such monodisperse CsPbI NPls through the control over the halide-to-lead ratio during heating-up reaction.
