High efficiency green InP quantum dot light-emitting diodes by balancing electron and hole mobility
Upon modifying cadmium-free InP quantum dot emitting layer by passivation with 1,4-butanediamine and zinc iodide, we successfully decrease electron mobility and enhances the hole transport in the InP QLED. As a result of optimizing the electrons and hole injection, it leads to green 545 nm InP QLED with a maximum quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.3% and a current efficiency of 57.5 cd/A.

Environmental changes and historical population dynamics of lemurs in Madagascar over the past 25,000 years.
Delivery of local anaesthetics by a self-assembled supramolecular system mimicking their interactions with a sodium channel
We designed nanofibers that incorporate the tetrodotoxin binding peptide sequences from the voltage-gated sodium channel. These nanofibers allowed the specific binding and release of tetrodotoxin to achieve prolonged nerve blockade.
