Full-Stokes polarization detection, enabling the acquisition of complete polarization information, is crucial across various fields such as target identification, robotic perception, and 3D reconstruction. Nevertheless, achieving efficient multiple polarization state detection simultaneously with high recognition accuracy in a compact device remains a significant challenge. Herein, for the first time, we report an optically active ferroelectric OAEAPbBr (1, where OA is n-octylammonium, EA is ethylammonium), capable of realizing a self-driven full-Stokes polarization detection.

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as outstanding X-ray detection absorption candidates, benefiting from their excellent carrier mobility, strong radiation absorption capability, and ease of preparation. However, the realization of highly anisotropic X-ray detection with a tunable performance has rarely been investigated. Two-dimensional (2D) chiral-polar hybrid perovskites with the natural multiple quantum wells (MQWs) structure and the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) present a prospective solution to meet the requirement of highly anisotropic X-ray detection.

Halide perovskite ferroelectrics endowed with a distinctive spontaneous polarization effect have been regarded as prospective electroactive materials and are prevalently utilized in solar cells, photoelectric detection, and other domains. Among them, multipolar-axis ferroelectrics featuring multiple equivalent polarization directions are particularly desirable for diverse areas of applications. Nevertheless, the design and regulation of multipolar axis perovskite ferroelectrics remains a significant challenge.

Layered hybrid metal halide perovskites, characterized by their distinctive quantum well structures and significant exciton binding energies, exhibit exceptional fluorescence properties, rendering them ideal candidates for high light yield scintillators. However, significant challenges remain in synthesizing layered metal halide perovskites with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), large Stokes shifts, and stable radioluminescence (RL). In this study, a stable Mn(II)-doped layered perovskite was successfully synthesized.

Polarization photodetection taking advantage of the anisotropy of 2D materials shines brilliantly in optoelectronic fields owing to differentiating optical information. However, the previously reported polarization detections are mostly dependent on external power sources, which is not conducive to device integration and energy conservation. Herein, a 2D polar perovskite (CBA)CsPbBr (CCPB, CBA = 4-chlorobenzyllamine) has been successfully synthesized, which shows anticipated bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with an open-circuited photovoltage up to ≈0.

Hybrid perovskites have great potential in photovoltaics and photodetection. Specially, two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskites have been discovered to show distinctive applications in polarization-sensitive photodetection due to their intrinsic anisotropy. Herein, we designed a new type of 2D perovskite by introducing bifunctional alkylammonium as an organic spacer, (β-Ala)PbBr (, where β-Ala is 3-aminopropanoic), which has four organic spacers in adjacent inorganic layers and adjacent organic layers are linked by hydrogen bonding.

Ocean-caught large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) represents an important germplasm resource for the breeding of this species; however, these fish tend to show poor survival in captivity and would be unsuitable breeding purposes. As an alternative to the use of wild-caught croakers, germ cell transplantation has been proposed using the L. crocea specimens as donors and yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) as recipients.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate whether dietary coenzyme Q10 could alleviate stress response of Micropterus salmoides caused by oxidized fish oil. Four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated to contain 100% fresh fish oil (FFO), 50% fresh fish oil + 50% oxidized fish oil (BFO), 100% oxidized fish oil (OFO) and 100% oxidized fish oil + 0.1% coenzyme Q10 (QFO) and were fed to Micropterus salmoides (95 ± 0.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites carry unique semiconducting properties and advanced flexible crystal structures. These characteristics of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites create a promising candidacy for circularly polarized light (CPL) detection. However, CPL detections based on chiral perovskites are limited to UV and visible wavelengths.

Benefiting from superior semiconducting properties and the angle-dependence of the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) on polarized light, the two-dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics are developed for sensitive self-powered polarized photodetection. Most of the currently reported ferroelectric-driven polarized photodetection is restricted to the shortwave optical response, and expanding the response range is urgently needed. Here we report the first instance of a FAPbI-derived (2D) perovskite ferroelectric, (BA)(FA)PbI (, BA is -butylammonium, FA is formamidinium).

2D van der Waals materials are widely explored for in-plane polarized light detection owing to their distinctive in-plane anisotropic feature. However, most of these polarized light-sensitive devices root in their low symmetry of in-plane structure and work depending on external power sources, which greatly impedes the simplification of integrated devices and sustainable development. Bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), which separates photoexcited carriers via built-in electric field without an external power source and shows an angle-dependence on light polarization, is promising for self-powered polarized light detection to break through the restriction of in-plane anisotropy.
