We present a systematic high-pressure investigation of the chlorine-functionalized two-dimensional hybrid perovskite (ClPMA)PbI, integrating high-pressure synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (HP-PXRD), photoluminescence spectroscopy (HP-PL), and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Under hydrostatic compression up to 6.18 (±0.42) GPa, HP-PXRD reveals anisotropic lattice contraction (Δ = 4.06%, Δ = 3.00%, Δ = 8.66%) with a bulk modulus of 16.8 (±1.5) GPa ( = 34.1 TPa) and the onset of amorphization near 6.18 (±0.42) GPa. DFT-optimized structures corroborate progressive PbI octahedral flattening leading to reduced interlayer spacing and enhanced Cl···I, Cl···H, and I···H interactions. The full elastic tensor indicates moderate anisotropy ( = 2.1, = 2.63) yet large Poisson's ratios (-0.196 to 0.67), unveiling coexisting auxetic and elastic deformation pathways. HP-PL spectra exhibit a continuous red shift from 525.2 nm to ∼630.5 nm and intensity quenching, attributable to bond-contraction-induced bandgap narrowing and pressure-enhanced nonradiative recombination in the partially amorphous matrix. DFT band-structure calculations confirmed the pressure-dependent direct-gap evolution and maintaining k-space valence-band maximum and conduction-band minimum alignment. These findings elucidate the structural, mechanical, and optoelectronic tunability of (ClPMA)PbI, underscoring its promise for strain-engineered optoelectronic devices.

The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through nanozyme-mediated sonocatalytic therapy has demonstrated remarkable therapeutic efficacy in the field of cancer. Nevertheless, it remains a significant challenge for nanozymes with a single catalytic active center to generate sufficient ROS via Fenton or Fenton-like reactions to effectively induce tumor cell death. In order to enhance the catalytic efficacy, we devised and synthesized a multiple active centre and mitochondrial-targeted perovskite nanozyme (NCFP), doped with cobalt (Co) element, and incorporated 4-carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP) as a mitochondrial targeting marker for ultrasound (US)-assisted enzyme-like catalytic treatment of tumors.

Exceptional rings (ERs) are high-dimensional non-Hermitian topologies formed by exceptional points, significantly enriching the topological properties of non-Hermitian systems. Because of the intricate topology and symmetry requirements, the realization of ERs generally demands complex structures and precise parameter tuning, resulting in relatively few experimental observations in high-dimensional periodic systems. Here, we show that even the simplest 1D non-Hermitian periodic systems can support multiple ERs, enabled by the system's multiple degrees of freedom which naturally accommodate diverse non-Hermitian perturbations.

The optoelectronic properties of perovskite/two-dimensional (2D) material van der Waals heterojunctions provide greater potential for innovative neuromorphic devices. However, the traditional growth of heterojunctions still relies on strict lattice matching and high-temperature processes, which hinder high-quality interface construction and efficient carrier transport. Here, the 2D CsPbI/MoS heterojunction is realized via the van der Waals epitaxy process, overcoming lattice matching limitations.

Chiral phonons, which are characterized by rotational atomic motion, offer a unique mechanism for transferring angular momentum from phonons to electron spins and other angular momentum carriers. In this Letter, we present a theoretical investigation into the emergence of chiral phonons in a chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) and their critical roles in rigid-body rotation, magnetic moment generation, and spin transport under nonthermal equilibrium conditions. We demonstrate that phonon angular momentum can modify the spin chemical potential via a proposed microscopic Barnett effect, leading to a spatially varying spin chemical potential at the metal/HOIP interface, which subsequently induces spin currents in an adjacent Cu layer, with a magnitude consistent with experimental observations.
