Enhanced photo‐carrier generation with selectable wavelengths by M‐decorated‐CuInS2 nanocrystals (M=Au and Pt) synthesized in a single surfactant process on MoS2 bilayers is demonstrated in article number 1803529 by Yu‐Lun Chueh and co‐workers. The strategy described here acts as a perspective to significantly improve the performance of MoS2‐based photodetectors with controllable absorption wavelengths...

The transparent oxide semiconductor (TOS) with large bandgap (Eg ≈ 4 eV) based thin‐film transistors (TFTs) showing both high carrier mobility and UV–visible transparency has attracted increasing attention as a promising component for next generation optoelectronics. Among TOSs, BaSnO3–SrSnO3 solid‐solutions (Eg = 3.5–4.2 eV) are good candidates because the single crystal shows very high mobility...
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are among the most promising next‐generation optoelectronic materials. QDs are generally obtained through either epitaxial or colloidal growth and carry the promise for solution‐processed high‐performance optoelectronic devices such as light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, etc. Herein, a straightforward approach to synthesize perovskite QDs and demonstrate their...
Layered stacking and highly porous N, P co‐doped Mo2C/C nanosheets are prepared from a stable Mo‐enhanced hydrogel. The hydrogel is formed through the ultrafast cross‐linking of phosphomolybdic acid and chitosan. During the reduction of the composite hydrogel framework under inert gas protection, highly porous N and P co‐doped carbon nanosheets are produced with the in situ formation of ultrafine...
MG53 is transcriptionally activated by the IRS‐1/PI3K/AKT signal pathway, which is closely related with oncogenesis of several tumors. Here, the role of MG53 in the tumorigenesis of tongue cancer is analyzed in vitro and in vivo. The stable MG53 overexpression/knockdown SCC9 and SCC25 cells are constructed through retrovirus infection. Then a PLGA cylinder is used to provide a 3D culture environment...

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are promising for next‐generation optoelectronic devices due to their potential to achieve high color purity, efficiency, and brightness. Although the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of PeLEDs has recently surpassed 20%, various strategies are being pursued to increase EQE further and reduce the EQE gap compared to other LED technologies...
1T‐phase molybdenum disulfide (1T‐MoS2) exhibits superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over 2H‐phase MoS2 (2H‐MoS2). However, its thermodynamic instability is the main drawback impeding its practical application. In this work, a stable 1T‐MoS2 monolayer formed at edge‐aligned 2H‐MoS2 and a reduced graphene oxide heterointerface (EA‐2H/1T/RGO) using a precursor‐in‐solvent synthesis strategy are...
Semiconductor photocatalysis, a sustainable and renewable technology, is deemed to be a new path to resolve environmental pollution and energy shortage.

The recently emerged 2D material of black phosphorus with distinctive properties of tunable direct bandgap, ultrahigh...
Colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) offer important benefits in nanocrystal optoelectronics with their unique excitonic properties. For NPLs, colloidal atomic layer deposition (c‐ALD) provides the ability to produce their core/shell heterostructures. However, as c‐ALD takes place at room temperature, this technique allows for only limited stability and low quantum yield. Here, highly stable,...
