The advent of halide perovskites (HPs) has marked a significant development in the applications of NIR-emitting nanocrystals in optoelectrical devices. Given the potential of NIR-perovskite in photovoltaics applications, there has been a growing focus on developing colloidal HP nanostructures for both fundamental study and commercial applications. These optoelectronic applications require the solution-processability and compatibility of these nanocrystal (NC) emitters in various organic and inorganic matrices. Colloidal synthesis of NCs facilitates these requirements, ushering in a new era of research on the architecture of HP nanostructures, which has yet to unfold many unresolved fundamental mysteries. This review examines recent studies on NIR-light-emitting undoped and doped all-inorganic and hybrid HP colloidal NCs with or without toxic lead and meticulously analyzes the role of surface ligands in the synthesis, crystallographic phase, and colloidal stability of these HP nanocrystals. The review particularly focuses on the recent progress in the synthesis, photophysics, excited-state carrier dynamics, and environmental stability of these NIR-perovskite NCs and their applications in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices, including NIR-LEDs, solar cells, photodetectors, and luminescent solar concentrators.</p>","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":" ","pages":"41403-41441"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modifying the cathode/electrolyte interface is a very good strategy to restrain interfacial side reactions and stabilize the structure. Herein, we proposed a high-voltage-stable polyionic liquid (PIL) as an artificial solid electrolyte interface, achieved by in situ bulk polymerization of a diallyldimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DMDA) monomer to form a polymer-containing cross-linked structure on the LCO cathode surface. The polymerized DMDA (PDMDA) coating layer forms a thin, dense cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) that effectively isolates the LCO from direct contact with the electrolyte and suppresses side reactions. Consequently, the PDMDA-modified LCO cathode retains 80% of its initial capacity over 500 cycles at 1C within a voltage range of 3 to 4.5 V, significantly outperforming the bare-LCO cathode. Additionally, the PDMDA layer also enhances the thermal stability of the LCO cathode, offering substantial value for safe lithium battery applications. This PDMDA modification strategy provides a promising pathway for practical deployment of high-voltage LCO cathodes.</p>","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":" ","pages":"42268-42277"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144606771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing Bessel beams and subpulse sequences for fabrication, a machining error of less than 0.3 μm (defocus amount of 1 to 16 μm) and a significant improvement in the aspect ratio are achieved. Inspired by the antireflective properties of stink bug compound eyes, approximately 25 million biomimetic microholes with an aspect ratio of 0.75 are fabricated on the ZnS surface in under 42 min. Biomimetic ZnS demonstrates broadband transmission (average of 81.3% from 8 to 12 μm) and excellent transmittance (83.2% at 9.2 μm). The utilization of the biomimetic window for monitoring an outdoor electric vehicle charging station demonstrates an improvement of 6.7% to 12.4% in target discrimination, detail capture, texture rendering, and edge resolution in the captured infrared images, thereby highlighting the potential application advantages of high-quality biomimetic microholes.</p>","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":" ","pages":"42462-42473"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144635702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photochromic luminescence (PCL) complexes exhibit fluorescence and color-changing dual output, which provides additional safety and greatly improves anticounterfeiting security. However, it is challenging to overcome the competition between luminescence and the quenching effect of the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. This work proposes that introducing a highly conjugated luminescent unit into a photochromic molecule and using hydrogen bond interactions to construct highly rigid organic cocrystals is an effective strategy to overcome the quenching effect of PET in the construction of PCL compounds. By this strategy, two viologen-based cocrystals with fluorescence and color-changing dual output were synthesized, and high-security anticounterfeiting was demonstrated. The mechanistic analysis indicates that the highly conjugated compound not only significantly enhances the luminescent intensity but also prolongs the lifetime of the charge separated state, with its influence dominating over the quenching effect of the PET process.

Thin liquid InBiCd coatings on metal foil electrodes were used to seed the Ge nanowire growth in an aqueous electrolyte. The resultant Ge nanowire films were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, angle-resolved reflectance spectra, and cyclic voltammetry both outside and within a coin cell by using a Li counter electrode. High magnification electron microscopy indicated that the nanowire sizes and densities depended on the nature of the underlying metal foil. The highest density and thinnest nanowires were obtained with the Cu foil substrates. The as-deposited Ge nanowires were highly crystalline and exhibited a coiled microstructure. The mass density of the films linearly tracked with a longer electrodeposition time. At the highest mass loadings, the films were visibly dull black and exhibited a wavelength-independent total reflectance of ∼10% across visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Separate specular reflectance measurements confirmed that the total reflectance was dominated by diffuse scattering. Optical simulation corroborated the premise that a high density of randomly oriented Ge nanowires with large-angle orientations significantly reduces the total reflectance of such films. Voltammetric measurements indicated that Li+ insertion took place predominantly in the Ge nanowires, with a high initial areal (gravimetric) discharge capacity of 4.12 mA h cm-2 (1359 mA h g-1). An areal (gravimetric) capacity of 2.10 mA h cm-2 (691 mA h g-1) was retained after 50 cycles while maintaining 98.7% Coulombic efficiency. This work significantly advances the use of ec-LLS as a synthesis approach for functional nanowire film for a high-mass loading anode for Li-ion batteries and low reflectance coatings.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
