Bright Thermally Evaporated Red Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes Enabled by In Situ Defect Passivation.

Thermally evaporated perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) hold great promise for high-quality display applications due to their exceptional large-area uniformity and ease of pixelation and integration. Beyond efficiency considerations, display technologies demanded exceptionally high luminance performance from LEDs. While the brightness of blue and green PeLEDs had progressed rapidly, the performance of red PeLEDs lagged significantly.

Synergistic association of estimated glucose disposal rate and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio with accelerated biological aging.

Sequential layer-by-layer deposition for high-performance fully thermal-evaporated red perovskite light-emitting diodes.

Thermal-evaporated perovskite light-emitting diodes are highly promising for future display and lighting. However, multi-source co-evaporation faces challenges such as difficulty in regulating crystallinity, especially for red perovskite light-emitting diodes, whose external quantum efficiencies are still less than 2%. Here, we demonstrate a facile layer-by-layer thermal-evaporation strategy to fabricate high-quality perovskite-emitting films with tunable emission wavelengths.

Wetlands, one of the largest source of methane (CH) on Earth, are undergoing extensive disturbance globally, resulting in profound impacts on global changes. This study conducted a comprehensive global meta-analysis of field studies to assess the effects of wetland disturbance on CH emissions and the key factors influencing these changes. Our analysis indicates that while CH emissions generally decrease following wetland disturbance, the global warming potential does not necessarily diminish compared to that of natural wetlands.

However, the thorough quantification of soil GHG emissions triggered by different modes of vegetation restoration is insufficient.

Effect of Addition Amount of Ethylenediamine on Interlayer Nanochannels and the Separation Performance of Graphene Oxide Membranes.

In recent years, graphene oxide (GO)-based two-dimensional (2D) laminar membranes have attracted considerable attention because of their unique well-defined nanochannels and deliver a wide range of molecular separation properties and fundamentals. However, the practical application of 2D GO layered membranes suffers from instability in aqueous solutions as the interlayer -spacing of GO membranes is prone to expansion caused by the hydration effect. In this study, the effects of the ethylenediamine (EDA) addition amount on the structure, crosslinking mechanism and separation performance of GO membranes were investigated systematically, and membrane performance was evaluated using water permeability and dye/salt rejection tests.
