Article Abstract
This work investigates the root causes of the limited stability of electroluminescent quantum dot light-emitting devices (QDLEDs). Studies using electrical measurements, continuous UV irradiation, and both steady-state and transient photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy reveal that exciton-induced degradation of the hole transporting material (HTM) in QDLEDs plays a role in limiting their electroluminescence (EL) stability. The results indicate that there is a correlation between device EL stability and the susceptibility of the HTM to exciton-induced degradation. The presence of quenchers in the HTM layer can lead to a decrease in the luminescence quantum yield of QDs, suggesting that energy transfer between the QD and HTM films may play a role in this behavior. The results uncover a new degradation mechanism where excitons within the HTM limit the EL stability of QDLEDs.

[1]Benzothieno[3,2-][1]benzothiophene (BTBT)-based molecules exhibit remarkably high hole mobility, sparking interest in their charge transport mechanisms. However, for thin films, the theoretically proposed mixed-orbital charge transport (MOCT) mechanism, which involves the hybridization of different frontier orbitals between neighboring molecules in the bulk, remains unexplored both experimentally and theoretically. In this study, we prepared a monolayer of 2,7-diphenyl-BTBT (DPh-BTBT) with a unique one-dimensional structure and investigated its molecular-level structure and electronic state.

Pax-5a gene, as a nucleic acid biomarker closely associated with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), holds significant potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed a highly accurate and efficient "on-super on-off" photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on a dual-photoelectrode heterojunction system integrated with a multisphere cascade DNA amplification strategy. The designed heterojunction dual-photoelectrode platform, comprising a InO/CdS photoanode (on state) and an in situ-formed MIL-68(In)/InO (MIO) photocathode, effectively extends the electron-hole transport pathway, enhances photogenerated charge separation, and produces high-amplitude signal output (super on state), thereby providing a robust baseline for signal transduction.

Establishing a low-resistance perovskite/ITO contact using self-assembled molecules (SAMs) is crucial for efficient hole transport in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) without a pre-deposited hole-transporting layer. However, SAMs at the buried interface often encounter issues like nonuniform distribution and molecular aggregation during the extrusion process, leading to significant energy loss. Herein, a molecular hybrid bridging strategy by incorporating a novel small molecule is proposed, (2-aminothiazole-4-yl)acetic acid (ATAA), featuring a thiazole ring and carboxylic acid group, along with the commonly used SAM, 4-(2,7-dibromo-9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)butyl)phosphonic acid (DMAcPA), into the perovskite precursor to synergistically optimize the buried interface.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are rapidly advancing due to their high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and low fabrication costs. However, their commercialization is hindered by lead toxicity and the use of expensive materials, such as Spiro-OMeTAD and gold electrodes. This study presents a comprehensive SCAPS-1D simulation-based analysis of 14 perovskite absorber materials, spanning both Pb-based and lead-free compounds, under a unified device architecture using low-cost, nontoxic components: ZnO as the electron transport material (ETM), PEDOT:PSS + WO as a dual hole transport material, and nickel as the back contact.
