The use of water as an antisolvent yields high-purity CsPbBr₃ quantum dots (QDs) with water stability exceeding 50 days. These QDs exhibit potent antibacterial activity through electrostatic interactions with bacterial cell membranes achieving up to 99.8% inhibition at a low concentration of 120 μg/ml.

This mixed phase exhibits water-triggered fluorescence activation originating from CsPbBr₃ recrystallization alongside a thermal quenching effect that enables reversible on–off fluorescence switching upon cooling–heating cycles. This water-induced fluorescence activation effect combined with reversible thermal quenching properties enables multi-level encryption.

However, their practical application is often hindered by intrinsically sluggish electron transport, slow Zn²⁺ diffusion kinetics, and structural instability associated with Jahn–Teller distortion during cycling. Herein, we reported a heterostructured manganese selenide/manganese oxide@carbon (MnSe/MnO@C) composite derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via a simple thermolysis of Mn MOFs under an inert atmosphere, followed by selenization. The carbonization of Mn MOFs generates a carbonaceous framework favorable for charge transport, while the formation of the heterostructured MnSe/MnO@C introduces abundant heterointerfaces and electrochemically active sites. These structural features are consistent with the reduced charge-transfer resistance and enhanced reaction kinetics observed for the MnSe/MnO@C electrode. Furthermore, when used as the cathode material for AZIBs, the MnSe/MnO@C electrode revealed superior specific capacity and improved cyclability, exhibiting 225 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹ after 500 charge-discharge cycles. Surprisingly, the electrode could achieve a reversible specific capacity of 191 mA h g⁻¹ at 2 A g⁻¹.
