in the presence of H to CH at millimole per hour per gram of catalyst conversion rates, using visible and near-infrared photons. The catalyst used to drive this reaction comprises black silicon nanowire supported ruthenium. These results represent a step towards engineering broadband solar fuels tandem photothermal reactors that enable a three-step process involving i) CO capture, ii) gaseous water splitting into H, and iii) reduction of gaseous CO2 by H.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) show promise in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, near-infrared (NIR) LEDs employing PQDs exhibit inferior external quantum efficiency related to the PQD emitting in the visible range. One fundamental issue arises from the PQDs dynamic surface: the ligand loss and ions migration to the interfacial sites serve as quenching centers, resulting in trap-assisted recombination and carrier loss.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

Research on multifunctional luminous materials has garnered a lot of interest in the fields of optical sensing, biological imaging, white light-emitting diodes illumination, etc. A novel multifunctional phosphor of Pr-doped BiMoO (BMO: Pr), created via the solid-state method, was investigated in this work. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectra, and fluorescence decay curves were employed to analyze the produced phosphors.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by several key features, including hypoxia, elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (HO), high concentrations of glutathione (GSH), and an acidic pH. Recent research has increasingly focused on harnessing or targeting these characteristics for effective cancer therapy. In this study, we developed an innovative composite bio-reactor that integrates genetically engineered bacteria with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and nano-copper manganese materials for lung cancer treatment.
