Light-emitting colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) are considered promising candidates for next-generation vivid displays. However, the operational stability of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on PeNCs is still lower than those based on polycrystalline perovskite films, which requires an understanding of defect formation in PeNCs, both inside the crystal lattice ("bulk") and at the surface. Meanwhile, uncontrollable ion redistribution and electrochemical reactions under LED operation can be severe, which is also related to the bulk and surface quality of PeNCs, and a well-designed device architecture can boost carrier injection and balance radiative recombination. In this review, we consider bulk and surface reconstruction of PeNCs by enhancing the crystal lattice rigidity and rationally selecting the surface ligands. Degradation pathways of PeNCs under applied voltage are discussed, and strategies are considered to avoid both undesirable ion migration and electrochemical reactions in the PeNC films. Subsequently, other critical issues hindering the commercial application of PeNC LEDs are discussed, including the toxicity of Pb in lead halide perovskites, scale-up deposition of PeNC films, and design of active-matrix prototypes for high-resolution LED modules.

Despite the huge progress achieved in the optimization of perovskite solar cell (PSC) performance, stability remains a limiting factor for technological commercialization. Here, a study on the photovoltaic, structural and morphological stability of semi-transparent formamidinium lead bromide-based PSCs is presented. This work focuses on the positive role of 2D nanoscale layer passivation, induced by perovskite surface treatment with a mixture of iso-Pentylammonium chloride (ISO) and neo-Pentylammonium chloride (NEO).

Developing active, stable, and cost-effective acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst is a critical challenge in realizing large-scale hydrogen (H) production via electrochemical water splitting. Utilizing highly active and relatively inexpensive Ru is generally challenged by its long-term durability issue. Here, we explore the potential of stabilizing active Ru sites in Ru(Ir,Fe,Co,Ni) multicomponent alloy by investigating its phase formation behavior, OER performance, and OER-induced surface reconstruction.

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.
