Lead halide perovskites always emerge complex interactions among different elemental ions, which lead to multiple intrinsic imperfections. Elemental defects, such as amine, Pb, and I vacancies at A-, B-, and X-sites, are main issues to deteriorate perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Unfortunately, most previous passivators can only temporarily fix partial inactive vacancies as sacrificial agents. Herein, we propose a recovery agent, ferrocene (Fc), which can form a one-dimensional perovskite with adequate steric cavities and suitable dissociation energy to recover all elemental defects back to active light-harvesting perovskites, and regenerate Fc itself meanwhile. Based on this perpetual chain-reaction cycle, corresponding PSCs maintain >10 000-hour lifetime in inert condition and >1000-hour durabilities under various extreme environments, including continuous 85 °C heating, 50 % relative humidity wetting, and 1-sun light soaking.

Imperfections in metal halide perovskites, such as those induced by light exposure or thermal stress, compromise device performance and stability. A key challenge is immobilizing volatile iodine produced by iodide oxidation and regenerating impurities like elemental lead and iodine. Here, we address this by integrating a redox-active supramolecular assembly of nickel octaethylporphyrin into perovskite film, functioning as both an immobilizer and redox shuttle.

The potential health risks of microplastics (MPs) and their combined exposure with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg) in aquatic environment are increasingly concerned recently. In this work, zebrafish embryos were exposed to different levels of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs, ∼0.1 μm) coupled with Hg(II) or/and MeHg at 20 μg/L, to investigate the tissue biodistribution and accumulation of PS-MPs and Hg species, and their interaction, as well as embryo toxicity, oxidative stress and metabolic profiles.

Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) with neonatal or early infantile onset are usually severe and differ in symptoms, complications, and treatment options. The establishment of a diagnosis relies on the combination of clinical examination, morphological analyses of muscle biopsies, and genetic investigations. Here, we re-evaluated and classified a unique collection of 535 muscle biopsies from NMD infants aged 0-6 months examined over a period of 52 years.

Graphene oxide (GO)-based membranes have demonstrated great potential in water treatment. However, microdefects in the framework of GO membranes induced by the imperfect stacking of GO nanosheets undermine their size-sieving ability and structural stability in aqueous systems. This study proposes a targeted growth approach by growing zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocrystals precisely to patch microdefects as well as to cross-link the porous graphene oxide (PGO) flakes coated on the outer surface of the hollow fiber (HF) alumina substrate (named the hybrid PGO/ZIF-8 membrane).

Investigating nanoscale structural variations, including heterogeneities, defects, and interfacial characteristics, is crucial for gaining insight into material properties and functionalities. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is developing as a powerful tool in materials science particularly for non-invasively understanding nanoscale structures of materials. These advancements bring us closer to the ultimate goal of correlating nanoscale structures to bulk functional outcomes.
