We report a high-efficiency quantum dot (QD) film for high color gamut edge-lit LCD backlights. On the film's input surface, an array of asymmetric microprisms is used to preserve the large off-axis angle of the incident blue light. On the exit surface, the retroreflective microprisms retain blue light inside the film. The extended optical path effectively enhances the blue light's probability to hit QDs and generate downconverted wavelengths. When not using any volume scattering particles, fewer QDs are needed to re-emit higher power green and red light, which helps lower the material cost.

Organic-inorganic formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI) hybrid perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have garnered considerable attention in the photovoltaic field due to their narrow bandgap, exceptional environmental stability, and prolonged carrier lifetime. Unfortunately, their insulating ligands and surface vacancy defects pose significant obstacles to efficient charge transfer across device interfaces. In this work, an electrostatic harmonization strategy at the interface using a donor-acceptor dipole molecular attachment to achieve enhanced charge separation capabilities on the QD surface is ventured.

Multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are preferred for their high efficiency and high colour purity in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the design strategies of MR-TADF emitters in the red region are very limited. Herein, we propose a concept for a paradigm shift in orange-red/deep-red MR emitters by linking the outer phenyl groups in a classical MR framework through intramolecular sulfur (S) locks.

Scintillators that convert ionizing radiation into low-energy photons are essential for medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Despite advances in X-ray scintillators, challenges remain in achieving high efficiency, environmental compatibility, stability, and flexibility. Here, we present experimental investigations of a new type of europium(III)-based hybrid ternary complex scintillators for improved X-ray detection and imaging.

Terahertz (THz) emission arising from the second-order nonlinear photocurrent effects in two-dimensional quantum materials has attracted significant attention due to its high efficiency and ease of polarization manipulation. However, in centrosymmetric quantum materials, the terahertz emission is typically suppressed, caused by the directional symmetry of the photocurrent generated under femtosecond laser excitation. In this work, we report that wafer-scale type-II Dirac semimetal PtTe with lattice centrosymmetry exhibits remarkably high THz emission efficiency (2 orders of magnitude greater than that of a ZnTe nonlinear crystal with equivalent thickness) and pronounced polarization sensitivity at room temperature.

In this study, a tetradentate Pt(II) complex designed to have -heterocyclic carbene ligands modified with an anchor-shaped 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (dip) group is described to enhance molecular rigidity for narrow emission and high efficiency. The tetradentate ligand with the dip group significantly hinders steric interactions and restricts π-conjugation from benzocarbene, leading to shallow lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels and a consequent reduction in the triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer character. These structural modifications result in narrow emission spectra and enhanced efficiency for blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) over wide doping concentration ranges.
