Many phosphor hosts, for example, nitrides and sulfides, often face challenges such as hydrolysis and oxidation, limiting their application in phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). In this study, we developed a highly humidity-resistant yellow-green-emitting phosphor BaSiNO:Ce (BSNO:Ce). The DFT calculations revealed a high Debye temperature (Θ = 1159 K), indicating a rigid crystal structure that contributes to the photoluminescence thermal quenching resistance of BSNO. Furthermore, we observed a notable positional shift of Ce in the BSNO lattice, contributing to an unusual photoluminescence (PL) red shift compared to BSNO:Eu. Importantly, BSNO:Ce exhibited remarkable PL stability under harsh conditions, showing no degradation in water for 10 days and less than 10% intensity loss at elevated temperatures up to 773 K. We constructed a prototype white LED with a high color rendering index ( = 92) by combining a 365 nm chip with BSNO:0.03Ce and commercial phosphors, demonstrating its potential for advanced pc-LED applications.

Ground-level ozone (O) can infiltrate indoor environments, severely impacting the environment and human health. Moisture-induced catalyst deactivation is a major challenge in catalytic ozone removal. MOF-template-derived heterojunctions supported by carbon materials can prevent chemisorption of water vapor at active sites.

The future of environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and industrial safety depends on developing room-temperature, long-term operable, stable, miniaturized, ultrahigh-performance sensors integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT). While noble metals and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) lead in addressing the limitations of conventional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS₂, they face challenges such as high-cost, limited availability, and fabrication complexity. To address this, multifunctional, cost-effective, humidity-insensitive novel phase Ti₀.

Scarcity of the antisolvent polymer dielectrics and their poor stability have significantly prevented solution-processed ultraflexible organic transistors from low-temperature, large-scale production for applications in low-cost skin-inspired electronics. Here, we present a novel low-temperature solution-processed PEI-EP polymer dielectric with dramatically enhanced thermal stability, humidity stability, and frequency stability compared with the conventional PVA/c-PVA and c-PVP dielectrics, by incorporating polyethyleneimine PEI as crosslinking sites in nonhydroxyl epoxy EP. The PEI-EP dielectric requires a very low process temperature as low as 70°C and simultaneously possesses the high initial decomposition temperature (340°C) and glass transition temperature (230°C), humidity-resistant dielectric properties, and frequency-independent capacitance.
