However, achieving pure-red emission from CsPbI<sub>3</sub> QDs remains a significant challenge due to limitations in bandgap tuning using conventional high-temperature hot-injection methods. Introducing A-site cations, such as ethylammonium (EA<sup>+</sup>), has been shown to modulate near-edge states by inducing lattice distortions. Nevertheless, the thermal instability of EA<sup>+</sup> salts at high temperatures poses a major obstacle in achieving stable doping. To address this challenge, we harnessed the acid-base equilibrium between ethylammonium salts and oleic acid in the cesium precursor, enabling the in situ formation of thermally stable ethylammonium oleate. This innovation allowed the precise tuning of the emission wavelength within 630-650 nm by controlling EA<sup>+</sup> doping levels. After optimization of the EA<sup>+</sup> doping concentration and device architecture, pure-red perovskite light-emitting diodes were achieved with an external quantum efficiency up to 26.1 %.

However, existing climate econometric models are limited in capturing the spatial processes through which extreme heat affects the global economy, often resulting in downward-biased estimates of total economic losses. This study develops a novel multi-scale spatio-temporal model that integrates classic multi-level modeling with spatial statistics, explicitly addressing key challenges faced by climate econometrics. A Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation algorithm is derived for model implementation. Using this model, we present the first quantitative assessment of the impacts of extreme heat on global economic production and their scale-dependent spatial processes. Our findings reveal that, at the national scale, economic losses caused by input-output economic linkages initially decline slowly, then drop sharply with increasing connectivity, with an inflection point around 0.1. When accounting for spatial propagation effects, a 1 ℃ increase in extreme heat intensity leads to an average loss of 2.54% [0.90%, 4.19%] of annual GDP per capita-substantially higher than estimates assuming economic losses are locally confined. Moreover, the economic impacts of extreme heat exhibit significant spatial heterogeneity, with positive marginal effects detected in colder regions and negative effects in warmer regions, with a turning point around 33.7 ℃. This study offers a new methodology to evaluate the impact of climate change from a multi-scale and spatial perspective.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144938147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CDs act as bridges, effectively and rapidly transferring protons and electrons to SiW<sub>12</sub> from Pt clusters. CDs can effectively coordinate with Pt, regulating its electronic structure while pre-occupying Pt sites, thus hindering CO adsorption on Pt. The reduced SiW<sub>12</sub> efficiently transfers electrons to Pt, inhibiting the oxidation of Pt. Additionally, SiW<sub>12</sub> also serves as the driving force, maintaining the rapid progression of the HOR process.
