11-Oct-2025 USTC develops weakly space-confined all-inorganic perovskite light-emitting diodes University of Science and Technology of China In a study published in Nature, Prof. XIAO Zhengguo’s team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel strategy based on weakly space-confined, large-grain crystals of all-inorganic perovskite to prepare perovskite films with larger crystalline grains and higher temperature resistance. Researchers increased the brightness of perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) to over 1.16 million nits and extended their lifespan to more than 180,000 hours. Journal Nature
11-Oct-2025 USTC prepares high-performance nacre-mimetic composites with designable cryptic coloration and electromagnetic wave-transparent performance University of Science and Technology of China In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team led by Academician YU Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a structure-function integrated design of nacre-mimetic alumina (Al2O3)-based (NMA) composites. This NMA composite material not only has unique color tunability and excellent wave transparency, but also achieves lightweight, high strength, high toughness, and outstanding impact resistance.
