It is widely acknowledged that constructing small injection barriers for balanced electron and hole injections is essential for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, in highly efficient LEDs based on metal halide perovskites, a seemingly large hole injection barrier is usually observed. Here we rationalize this high efficiency through a surfactant-induced effect where the hole concentration at the perovskite surface is enhanced to enable sufficient bimolecular recombination pathways with injected electrons. This effect originates from the additive engineering and is verified by a series of optical and electrical measurements. In addition, surfactant additives that induce an increased hole concentration also significantly improve the luminescence yield, an important parameter for the efficient operation of perovskite LEDs. Our results not only provide rational design rules to fabricate high-efficiency perovskite LEDs but also present new insights to benefit the design of other perovskite optoelectronic devices.

Age-related alterations in the skeletal system are linked to decreased bone mass, a reduction in bone strength and density, and an increased risk of fractures and osteoporosis. Therapeutics are desired to stimulate bone regeneration and restore imbalance in the bone remodeling process. Quercetin (Qu), a naturally occurring flavonoid, induces osteogenesis; however, its solubility, stability, and bioavailability limit its therapeutic use.

Schottky diodes have been a fundamental component of electrical circuits for many decades, and intense research continues to this day on planar materials with increasingly exotic compounds. With the birth of nanotechnology, a paradigm shift occurred with Schottky contacts proving to be essential for enabling nanodevice inventions and increasing their performance by many orders of magnitude, particularly in the fields of piezotronics and piezoelectric energy harvesting. ZnO nanomaterials have proven to be the most popular materials in those devices as they possess high piezoelectric coefficients, high surface sensitivity, and low resistivity due to the high native n-type doping and low hole concentration.
