Blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (TEOLEDs) have garnered widespread interest because of their 100% internal quantum efficiency (η) and high intensity due to microcavity effects. However, their external quantum efficiency (η) is limited by total internal reflection from the thin-film encapsulation (TFE) required by TEOLEDs and their susceptibility to moisture and oxygen. This paper introduces a novel approach in which TiO nanoparticles (NPs) are incorporated into a negative photoresist, and AlO is applied to form a nanolaminated TFE layer. This TFE layer decreases the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), enhances light extraction efficiency and viewing angle characteristics. Moreover, the optical property can be modulated by adjusting the TiO NP content and a planarization layer, maintaining a total transmittance of approximately 70%. The barrier properties assessed via electrical Ca tests show that TFE achieves WVTRs below 10 g m day under ambient conditions. When applied to blue TADF TEOLEDs, the TFE improves electroluminescence by 23.78% and external quantum efficiency by 32.31%. As the viewing angle shifts from 0° to 45°, the CIE coordinate and peak wavelength shifts decrease from 0.067 to 0.044 and 14 to 8 nm, respectively. These results can be theoretically explained based on Mie scattering efficiency and Snell's law, as analyzed by finite-difference time-domain simulations.

The diagnosis of apoptosis is of particular importance for assessing apoptosis-related disease progression and improving the therapy efficiency. Caspase-3 is the most frequently activated cysteine protease and a key mediator of cell apoptosis, therefore, its activity assay is vital. Here, by encapsulating of MAPbI in NH-MIL-125(Ti) and constructing "Z-scheme" structure between CdInS microspheres and CdS quantum dots (QDs) to obtain high-photoelectrochemical (PEC)-stability and large-photocurrent NH-MIL-125(Ti)@MAPbI/Au NPs photocathode and CdInS/CdS QDs photoanode, respectively, a new dual-photoelectrode self-powered PEC platform was constructed for highly sensitive and blocker-free assay of caspase-3 activity.

Red-emitting materials have significantly advanced the development of materials for OLEDs and bioimaging. However, traditional red dyes often suffer from the 5 % external quantum efficiency (EQE) limit and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), which impede their practical applications. Herein, two red-emitting materials, TPA-QP and Cz-Ph-QP were designed and synthesized with donor-acceptor (D-A) structures.

Metal halide perovskites have excellent optoelectronic properties. This study aims to determine how the optoelectronic properties of a model perovskite, cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr), change with length and thickness in one dimension (1D). By examining the photophysics of CsPbBr quantum dots (QDs), nanowires (NWs), and nanorods (NRs), we observe the influence of confinement, exciton diffusion, and trapping on their optical properties.
