Significantly enhanced electroluminescence performance and stability of all-inorganic perovskite light-emitting devices(PeLEDs) have been achieved by adding triton X-100 into the perovskite precursors.The small perovskite grains arranged tightly and formed large grains as the triton X-100 were introduced.Thus the nonradiative defects originated from Pb atoms at the grain boundaries were highly passivated by triton X-100 and resulted in the promotion of PeLED performance,including a turn-on voltage of 3.2 V,a brightness of 63500 cd/m^(2),a current efficiency of 17.4 cd/A,and a prolonged lifetime of 2 h in air.

In this paper, we investigate the Raman and photoluminescence spectra of Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋） and Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋）/Mg^（2＋） nanorods under high pressures using 514-nm and 532-nm laser light excitation. We observe transitions from the initial cubic phase to amorphous at pressures higher than 24 GPa for both Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋） and Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋）/Mg^（2＋） nanorods. In addition, Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋） and Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋）/Mg^（2＋） nanorods exhibit different distorted states after the pressure has been raised to 8 GPa. The analyses of intensity ratios, I_（0-2）/I_（0-1） from ~5D_（0–）~7F2_to^5D_（0–）~7F_1and I_（0-2）A/B of ~5D_（0–）7F_2 transitions indicate that Y_2O_3/Eu^（3＋）/Mg^（2＋） nanorods exhibit stronger local micro-surrounding characteristics for Eu^（3＋） ions in a pressuremodulated crystal field. The doped Mg2＋ion results in reducing the crystal ionicity in the distorted lattice state under high pressures. The use of doped ions as an ion modifier can be applied to the study of small local microstructural changes through Eu^（3＋） luminescence.
The helicity of stable single helical carbon chains and iodine chains inside single-walled carbon nanotubes（SWCNTs）is studied by calculating the systematic van der Waals interaction energy.The results show that the optimal helical radius increases linearly with increasing tube radius,which produces a constant separation between the chain structure and the tube wall.The helical angle exhibits a ladder-like decrease with increasing tube radius,indicating that a large tube can produce a small helicity in the helical structures.
High pressure structural phase transition of monoclinic paraotwayite type α-Ni(OH)2 nanowires with a diameter of15 nm–20 nm and a length of several micrometers were studied by synchrotron x-ray diffraction(XRD) and Raman spectra.It is found that the α-Ni(OH)2 nanowires experience an isostructural phase transition associated with the amorphization of the H-sublattice of hydroxide in the interlayer spaces of the two-dimensional crystal structure at 6.3 GPa–9.3 GPa. We suggest that the isostructural phase transition can be attributed to the amorphization of the H-sublattice. The bulk moduli for the low pressure phase and the high pressure phase are 41.2(4.2) GPa and 94.4(5.6) GPa, respectively. Both the pressure-induced isostructural phase transition and the amorphization of the H-sublattice in the α-Ni(OH)2 nanowires are reversible upon decompression. Our results show that the foreign anions intercalated between the α-Ni(OH)2 layers play important roles in their structural phase transition.
Pressure generation to a higher pressure range in a large-volume press(LVP)denotes our ability to explore more functional materials and deeper Earth's interior.Pressure generated by normal tungsten carbide(WC)anvils in a commercial way is mostly limited to 25 GPa in LVPs due to the limitation of their hardness and design of cell assemblies.We adopt three newly developed WC anvils for ultrahigh pressure generation in a Walker-type LVP with a maximum press load of 1000 ton.The hardest ZK01F WC anvils exhibit the highest efficiency of pressure generation than ZK10F and ZK20F WC anvils,which is related to their performances of plastic deformations.Pressure up to 35 GPa at room temperature is achieved at a relatively low press load of 4.5 MN by adopting the hardest ZK01F WC anvils with three tapering surfaces in conjunction with an optimized cell assembly,while pressure above 35 GPa at 1700 K is achieved at a higher press load of 7.5 MN.Temperature above 2000 K can be generated by our cell assemblies at pressure below 30 GPa.We adopt such high-pressure and high-temperature techniques to fabricate several high-quality and well-sintered polycrystalline minerals for practical use.The present development of high-pressure techniques expands the pressure and temperature ranges in Walker-type LVPs and has wide applications in physics,materials,chemistry,and Earth science.
