Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites hold significant potential for diverse design strategies due to their tunable structures, exceptional optical properties, and environmental stability. Due to the complexity of the structure and carrier dynamics, characterization methods such as photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy can observe but cannot precisely distinguish or identify the phase distribution within quasi-2D perovskite films or correlate phases with carrier dynamics. In this study, we used pressure to modulate the intralayer and interlayer structures of (PEA)CsPbBr quasi-2D perovskite films, investigating charge carrier dynamics. Steady-state spectroscopy revealed phase transitions at 1.62, 3, and 8 GPa, with free excitons transforming into self-trapped excitons after 8 GPa. Transient absorption spectroscopy elucidated the structural evolution, energy transfer, and pressure-induced transition mechanisms. The results demonstrate that combining pressure and spectroscopy enables the precise identification of phase distribution and pressure response ranges and reveals photophysical mechanisms, providing new insights for optimizing optoelectronic materials.

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.

Electronic coupling between individual redox units in a molecular assembly dictates their charge transfer efficacy. Being a well-defined crystalline structure, the metal-organic framework (MOF) ensures proper positioning of redox-active moieties and provides a unique platform to unveil their charge transfer dynamics and quantification with structural relationships. Here, we demonstrate a novel redox-active MOF with near-infrared through-space intervalence charge transfer by introducing a mixed valence state inside redox-active thiazolothiazole-based ligands (DPTTZ) upon photo- or electrochemical reduction.

Non-viral vectors have gained recognition for their ability to enhance the safety of gene delivery processes. Among these, polyethyleneimine (PEI) stands out as the most widely utilized cationic polymer due to its accessibility. Traditional methods of modifying PEI, such as ligand conjugation, chemical derivatization, and cross-linking, are associated with intricate preparation procedures, limited transfection efficiency, and suboptimal biocompatibility.

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a commonly utilized antifungal agent, which is also recommended for the treatment of certain neglected tropical diseases, including leishmaniasis. However, its clinical application is constrained because of its poor oral bioavailability and adverse effects, prompting the investigation of alternative drug delivery systems. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) have gained attention as a potential drug delivery vehicle, providing advantages such as sustained release and enhanced bioavailability, and could have potential as AmB carriers.
