Controlling the photoexcited properties and behavior of hybrid perovskites by halide doping has the potential to impact a wide range of emerging technologies, including solar cells and radiation detectors. Crystalline samples of methylammonium lead bromide substituted with chlorine (MAPbBrCl) were examined by transient reflectivity spectroscopy and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. At picosecond time scales, the addition of chlorine to the perovskite crystal increased the observed rate of hot carrier cooling and the calculated electron-phonon coupling constants. Chlorine-doped samples also exhibit a slower surface recombination velocity and a smaller ambipolar mobility.

Hot carrier dynamics in the BAPbBr/MoS heterostructure.

Nanoscale

January 2025

Department of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Block JD, Sector III, Salt Lake, Kolkata-700106, India.

Herein, we investigated the carrier-phonon relaxation process in a two-dimensional (2D) BAPbBr perovskite and its heterostructure with MoS. Energy transfer was observed in the van der Waals heterostructure of 2D perovskite and monolayer MoS, leading to enhancement in the photoluminescence intensity of MoS. Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy was used to study the carrier and lattice dynamics of pristine 2D materials and their heterostructure.

Sperm-borne small non-coding RNAs: potential functions and mechanisms as epigenetic carriers.

Cell Biosci

January 2025

Center for Reproduction and Genetics, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230001, China.

Over the past two decades, the study of sperm-borne small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) has garnered substantial growth. Once considered mere byproducts during germ cell maturation, these sncRNAs have now been recognized as crucial carriers of epigenetic information, playing a significant role in transmitting acquired traits from paternal to offspring, particularly under environmental influences. A growing body of evidence highlights the pivotal role of these sncRNAs in facilitating epigenetic inheritance across generations.

Biomimetic Confined Assembly of Plasmonic CuS from Electronic Waste for Rapid Photothermal Disinfection.

ACS Nano

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resources Reuse, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China.

Photothermal disinfection (PTD) offers promising potential for water purification due to its sustainable and broad-spectrum bactericidal properties, although it is hindered by slow charge separation in photosensitizers. Herein, we present a plasma-mediated PTD technique utilizing an efficient localized heating effect induced by incident light at specific wavelengths for rapid bacterial inactivation. A metallic CuS photosensitizer, derived from electronic waste through a biomimetic transmembrane confined-assembled strategy, facilitates collective and coherent oscillation of free electrons around Cu atoms in the near-infrared range.

A carbon nanotube (CNT) composite is an effective method to improve the thermoelectricity of materials. However, the depletion layer between the CNT and thermoelectric (TE) material always decreases the contribution of CNT to the conductivity of the TE material. It is important to eliminate the depletion layer for improving the TE properties.
