Suppressing Strong Exciton–Phonon Coupling in Blue Perovskite Nanoplatelet Solids by Binary Systems

Quasi-two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are promising candidates for light generation owing to their high radiative rates. However, strong exciton–phonon interactions caused by mechanical softening of the surface act as a bottleneck in improving their suitability for a wide range of lighting and display applications. Moreover, it is not easily available to tune the phonon interactions in bulk films. Here, we adopt bottom-up fabricated blue emissive perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) as model systems to elucidate and as well as tune the phonon interactions via engineering of binary NPL solids. By optimizing component domains, the phonon coupling strength can be reduced by a factor of 2 driven by the delocalization of 2D excitons in out-of-plane orientations. It shows the picosecond energy transfer originated from the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiently competes with the exciton–phonon interactions in the binary system.     

High effects of smoke suppression and char formation of Ni?Mo/Mg(OH)2 for polypropylene

The Ni? Mo/Mg(OH)₂ (NMM) hybrid as an efficient flame retardancy and smoke suppression composite for polypropylene (PP) was synthesized through Ni? Mo co‐precipitation on the surface of Mg(OH)₂ (MH) hexagonal nanosheets. Compared to PP/MH, PP/NMM exhibited excellent smoke suppressing and flame retardancy on the heat release rate, total heat release, smoke production rate, total smoke production, CO production rate and total CO production with the same loading. The reduced hazard of PP/NMM was mainly attributed to the high physical barrier effect of compact char residues on heat, smoke and combustible gas. The mechanism study indicated that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) generated from the catalytic carbonization of PP by the Ni? Mo compound could play the role of “rebar” to strengthen the char residues, avoid the generation of cracks and form highly compact char layer. Furthermore, MgO could facilitate the production of MWCNTs through changing the pyrolysis process of PP and increasing the reaction time between pyrolysis gas and Ni? Mo compound. Hence, the new Ni? Mo/MH catalyst hybrid may explore the potential for solving the tough problem of the flammability and heavy smoke of the polyolefins system.

光纤布拉格光栅传感器应变传递双向耦合分析

粘贴于受弯基体表面的光纤布拉格光栅传感器测量应变与基体真实应变之间存在误差,因此研究光纤布拉格光栅传感器的变形机理、分析测量应变与真实应变之间的关系是目前的研究热点.首先研究光纤布拉格光栅传感器与基体之间的相互作用机理,然后,利用有限元解、实验值和理论解进行对比验证,并分析产生误差的原因.最后,通过参数分析研究弹性模量、厚度、粘结长度等参数对光纤布拉格光栅传感器测量效果的影响.结果表明有限元解、实验值和理论解具有相同的变化趋势,有限元解与理论解的误差在2%以内,测量值与理论解的误差在7%以内.平均应变传递率随着基体弹性模量的增大、粘结长度的增长而逐渐增大,随粘结层弹性模量的减小、粘结层厚度的增大而逐渐减小.该理论对应用于受弯基体应变测量的光纤布拉格光栅传感器的设计具有一定的指导意义.
