The incorporation of phenylethylammonium bromide (PEABr) into a fully inorganic CsPbBr perovskite framework led to the formation of mixed-dimensional perovskites, which enhanced the photoluminescence due to efficient energy funnelling and morphological improvements. With a PEABr : CsPbBr ratio of 0.8 : 1, PeLEDs with a current efficiency of 6.16 cd A and an EQE value of 1.97% have been achieved.

Tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) hosted in atomically-thin semiconductors have emerged as prospective elements in optoelectronic devices for ultrafast and secured information transfer. The controlled exciton transport in such excitonic devices requires manipulating potential energy gradient of charge-neutral excitons, while electrical gating or nanoscale straining have shown limited efficiency of exciton transport at room temperature. Here, we report strain gradient induced exciton transport in monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe) across microns at room temperature via steady-state pump-probe measurement.

Energy flow in biomolecules is a dynamic process vital for understanding health, disease, and applications in biotechnology and medicine. In crowded environments, where biomolecular functions are modulated, comprehending energy flow becomes crucial for accurately understanding cellular processes like signaling and subsequent functions. This study employs ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy to demonstrate energy funneling from the photoexcited heme of bovine heart cytochrome to the protein exterior, in the presence of common synthetic (Dextran 40, Ficoll 70, PEG 8 and Dextran 70) and protein-based (BSA and β-LG) crowders.

Strategic manipulation of spatiotemporal evolution of charge carriers is critical for optimizing performance of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) perovskite-based optoelectronic devices. Nonetheless, the inhomogeneous phase distribution and band alignment engender intricate energy landscapes, complicating internal charge and energy funneling processes. Herein, we integrate high spatiotemporal resolution transient absorption microscopy with multiple time-resolved spectroscopy and find that asynchronous electron and hole transfers rather than direct energy transfer govern the funneling mechanisms.

Reduced-dimensional perovskites (RDPs), a large category of metal halide perovskites, have attracted considerable attention and shown high potential in the fields of solid-state displays and lighting. RDPs feature a quantum-well-based structure and energy funneling effects. The multiple quantum well (QW) structure endows RDPs with superior energy transfer and high luminescence efficiency.

Lignin, a major plant cell wall component, has an important role in plant-defense mechanisms against pathogens and is a promising renewable carbon source to produce bio-based chemicals. However, our understanding of microbial metabolism is incomplete regarding certain lignin-related compounds like p-coumaryl and sinapyl alcohols. Here, we reveal peripheral pathways for the catabolism of the three main lignin precursors (p-coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols) in the plant pathogen Xanthomonas citri.
