Exploring new perovskite-related solid-state materials and the investigating composition-dependent structural and physical properties are highly important for advanced functional material development. Herein, we present the successful hydrothermal synthesis of tetragonal CsPbCl and the anion-exchange phase formation of CsPb(ClBr ) ( x = 0-1) solid solutions. The CsPb(ClBr ) crystal structures, which crystallize in the tetragonal system, space group I4/ mcm, with parameters similar to those of CsPbCl, have been determined by Rietveld analysis. The optical band gap was obtained by UV-vis spectroscopy, and the band structure was further calculated by the full-potential method within the generalized gradient approximation. It was revealed that the band gap in CsPb(ClBr ) solid solutions can be tuned over the range of 4.5-3.8 eV by anion substitution.

Biotin[6]uril, a chiral, water-soluble and anion binding macrocycle, is formed via dynamic covalent chemistry. In this study, we present a scalable and high-yielding synthesis of biotin[6]uril via a mechanochemical solid-state approach. The optimized protocol involves mechanical grinding of solid D-biotin with paraformaldehyde in the presence of 0.

This study investigates the critical role of polymer matrices in optimizing luminescence and energy transfer, utilizing the commercial dyes Coumarin 6 (C6) and Rhodamine B (RhB) as a donor-acceptor pair. Solution-phase experiments revealed a dependence of energy transfer efficiency on solvent dielectric constant. Furthermore, embedding the dyes within Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) matrices significantly enhance energy transfer due to increased molecular proximity.

Conventional solid/liquid electrochemical interfaces typically encounter challenges with impeded mass transport for poor electrochemical quantification due to the intricate pathways of reactants from the bulk solution. To address this issue, this work reports an innovative approach integrating a target-activated DNA framework nanomachine with electrochemically driven metal-organic framework (MOF) conversion for self-sacrificial biosensing. The presence of the target biomarker serotonin initiates the DNA framework nanomachine by an entropy-driven circuit to form a cross-linked nanostructure and subsequently release the Fe-MOF probe.

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (LED) technology holds promise for advancing broadband light sources. Despite the potential, limited research has delved into the energy transfer mechanism from sharp-line to broadband emission in SWIR phosphors, which remains underexplored. Herein, we demonstrate bright SWIR phosphors achieved through Cr/Ni energy transfer in LiGaAl O.

The metabolism of cancer and immune cells plays a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. Cancer cells often undergo metabolic reprogramming to sustain their rapid growth and proliferation, along with meeting their energy demands and biosynthetic needs. Nevertheless, immune cells execute their immune response functions through the specific metabolic pathways, either to recognize, attack, and eliminate cancer cells or to promote the growth or metastasis of cancer cells.
