When organic cross-linked polymers are combined with metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) for realizing luminescent perovskite-polymer display materials, the stability of PNCs is enhanced and their shrinkage is suppressed. This work presents a feasible strategy for preparing CsPbBr nanocrystals (NCs) within a polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD) thermosetting cross-linked resin matrix simultaneously via a one-step reaction. The obtained PDCPD@PNCs composite exhibits narrow peak half-widths (15-20 nm), high light transmittance (80%), low curing volume shrinkage (1.4%), tunable tensile properties, excellent stability, and a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 44.3%. The composite material exhibits long-term stability in water, acid, and base solutions for over 90 days, with the PL intensity being maintained at over 90%. Furthermore, the composite is highly resistant to polar organic solvents owing to the insolubility imparted by cross-linking. White LEDs (WLED) fabricated using the as-prepared composite demonstrate excellent potential as light sources in optical devices.

LiCoO2 batteries for 3C electronics demand high charging voltage and wide operating temperature range, which are virtually impossible for existing electrolytes due to aggravated interfacial parasitic reactions and sluggish kinetics. Herein, we report an electrolyte design strategy based on a partially fluorinated ester solvent (i.e.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are known for their intriguing physical properties, but their rational design and synthesis remain a great challenge for chemists. In this work, we successfully synthesized a new non-centrosymmetric oxide, i.e.

However, the dynamic and energetic details quantifying the balance and contribution of these factors, particularly the balancing nature of specific interactions formed by antibodies with the epitope residues remain scarcely characterized. In this study, we performed molecular dynamics simulations, ensemble-based deep mutational scanning of SARS-CoV-2 spike residues and binding free energy computations for two distinct groups of broadly neutralizing antibodies : E1 group (BD55-3152, BD55-3546 and BD5-5840) and F3 group (BD55-3372, BD55-4637 and BD55-5514).

The electrocatalytic conversion of 16-electron multistep polysulfides is crucial for lithium-sulfur batteries, while it is hard to achieve compatibility between intricate sulfur reduction processes and appropriate catalysts. Herein, a tandem conversion strategy is reported to boost multi-step intermediate reactions of polysulfides transformation by designing an electrocatalyst featuring cobalt and zinc sites (Co/Zn), where the Zn serve as sites for the conversion of long-chain lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), promoting the transformation of S to LiS; the Co sites accelerate the kinetics of the subsequent reduction of LiS. This tandem catalysis method not only enhances the conversion of the initial reactants but also provides additional support for the intermediates, thereby facilitating subsequent reactions to maximize capacity.

Wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs) have promising applications in tandem devices yet suffer from low open-circuit voltages (Vs) and less stability. To address these issues, the study introduces multifunctional nicotinamide derivatives into WBG PSCs, leveraging the regulation on photovoltaically preferential orientation and optoelectronic properties via diverse functional groups, e.g.
