Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) hold great potential as versatile energy conversion systems for diverse applications. Here, we explore the covalent incorporation of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens into polymeric backbones for LSCs. Copolymers based on methyl-methacrylate and an AIE-active monomer (tetraphenyl ethylene methacrylate - TPEMA) are ...

However, the rational design and synthesis of fluorescent probes for efficient chiral recognition remain a challenge. Here we present a novel platform for chiral recognition based on zero-dimensional hybrid copper halides with unique symmetry-dependent pr...

Current 2D synaptic devices typically adopt the strategy of charge trap and release to achieve intelligent sensing and visual recognition. However, the response wavelength is limited i...
Continue readingThere has been considerable progress in colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) for display applications. However, their commercialization remains challenging, because of the difficulty in achieving high-resolution, full-color patterning of quantum dots (QDs) without degrading their optical properties. Direct photolithography has attracted attention, ...
Continue readingPoly (Triazine Imide) (PTI), like other polymeric semiconductors, suffers from the high exciton binding energy, which intrinsically impedes the separation of photo-induced charge carriers. Herein, we present a crystal structure engineering strategy that exploits the lattice mismatch between the CaCl2 (12) growth template and basal planes of PTI to synthesize unusua...
