Summary: Miniaturized laser sources with low threshold power can be achieved by using photostable core/shell nanocrystals as gain material and directly patterning them as distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. The subwavelength pattern resolution required for DFB lasers is achieved through soft lithography based on template-assisted colloidal self-assembly. The combination with the directional Langmuir-Blodgett arrangement allows for control of the waveguide layer thickness.

Summary: Surfactant aggregates with unique space partitioning ability are widely used as drug carriers. In this study, the surface activity and photoisomerization behavior of a synthetically prepared azobenzene-functionalized cationic surfactant were thoroughly investigated. The self-assembling tendency of the surfactant with cyclodextrin was monitored, and the system was found to exhibit fast photo-responsive behavior and reversible photo-response. This self-assembled system may be used for the controlled release of drugs and could be a promising drug carrier.

Summary: The dense textured microsphere structure of tNVPF was prepared through the solvothermal method with the assistance of SDBS. The microstructure, consisting of 100 nm nanorods, provides abundant active sites and facilitates the fast transmission of Na+ carriers. The electronic conductivity of tNVPF was further enhanced by carbonizing polyacrylamide to form tNVPF@C, which exhibits excellent Na+ storage performance. Textured carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (tNVPF@C) microspheres demonstrate high specific capacity (113.6/74.7 mAh g-1 at 0.2/10 C) and better long-term cycling performance with a capacity retention ratio of 80.1% after 300 cycles at 5 C. Notably, the Na-ion full cell, composed of commercial hard carbon anode and tNVPF@C cathode, achieves a high capacity of 118.9 mAh g-1 and an energy density of 322.6 W h kg-1.

Summary: Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used as hole-selective layers in perovskite solar cells. Ultrasonic spray coating and airbrush coating are effective methods for depositing carbazole-based SAMs. Solvent rinsing protocols overcome the dewetting issue of hybrid perovskite precursor solutions. Air-knife gas-quenching is used to remove volatile solvents, allowing fabrication of high-efficiency p-i-n devices with large-area roll-to-roll manufacturing.

Summary: The self-assembly of long-tail surfactants can form nanoscale structures that alter the rheology of the system, but this process is affected by the high Krafft temperature. A novel sugar-based surfactant with an unsaturated C16-tail was synthesized, showing the ability to form a stable micellar solution over a wide temperature range, creating a non-Newtonian, viscoelastic fluid. These findings have implications for the development of sustainable formulated products with remarkable thermal resilience.

Summary: This study continues the development of virtual tensile test for molecular crystals, focusing on different polymorphs with varying mechanical properties. The study shows that the properties of these polymorphs depend on the crystal packing and the topology of hydrogen and halogen bonds. New polymorphs of 4-bromophenyl 4-bromobenzoate crystal structures are predicted through global minimization of lattice energy. The proposed methodology successfully identifies the known polymorphic forms and confirms their mechanical properties computationally.

Summary: Nontraditional organic/polymeric luminogens, which lack conventional chromophores, have attracted significant attention for their fundamental understanding of photoluminescence mechanisms and potential applications. While most nontraditional luminogens emit blue fluorescence, there is limited research on those with green, yellow, and red emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to develop nontraditional luminogens with red-shifted emissions and understand their mechanisms.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of chemical and spatial structures on the photoluminescence of organic luminescent materials by synthesizing a series of small aromatic and aliphatic aldimines. The results show that the strong aromatic conjugation in aromatic imines is not sufficient to induce photoluminescence in a single molecule state, while intermolecular through-space conjugation becomes dominant in aggregate states. The configurations and spatial conformations of the molecules in aggregate states play a key role in the formation of effective through-space conjugation. This study provides insights into the photophysical properties of organic luminescent materials.

Summary: Hydrogen bonding is important for the construction and stabilization of polymeric materials. This study shows that hydrogen-bonded poly(vinyl alcohol)-urea hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties can be prepared by drying PVA-urea solutions at an elevated temperature and then swelling in water. The addition of urea enables the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds, resulting in the high strength and modulus of the hydrogels. This discovery challenges the conventional understanding of urea solely as a hydrogen bond breaker and provides new strategies for the fabrication of polymeric materials with enhanced mechanical properties.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.
