Abstract
We have employed a co-precipitation method to synthesize different concentrations of carbon spheres (CSs) doped with cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) for catalytic reduction and antibacterial applications. Various morphological and structural characterization techniques were used to comprehensively analyze the CS effect on CdS QDs. The catalytic reduction efficiency of CS-doped CdS QDs was evaluated using rhodamine B dye. The antibacterial efficacy was also assessed against the pathogenic microorganism Escherichia coli (E. coli), and substantial destruction in the inhibitory zone was measured. Finally, the synthesized CS-doped CdS QDs demonstrated favorable results for catalytic reduction and antibacterial applications. Computational studies verified the suppressive impact of these formed QDs on DNA gyrase and β-lactamase of E. coli.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) have outstanding luminescent properties that are suitable for displays that have high color purity and high absorption coefficient; so they are evaluated for application as light emitters for organic light-emitting diodes, light-converters for downconversion displays, and future near-eye augmented reality/virtual reality displays. However, PeNCs are chemically vulnerable to heat, light, and moisture, and these weaknesses must be overcome before devices that use PeNCs can be commercialized. This review examines strategies to overcome the low stability of PeNCs and thereby permit the fabrication of stable downconversion films, and summarizes downconversion-type display applications and future prospects. First, methods to increase the chemical stability of PeNCs are examined. Second, methods to encapsulate PeNC downconversion films to increase their lifetime are reviewed. Third, methods to increase the long-term compatibility of resin with PeNCs, and finally, how to secure stability using fillers added to the resin are summarized. Fourth, the method to manufacture downconversion films and the procedure to evaluate their reliability for commercialization is then described. Finally, the prospects of a downconversion system that exploits the properties of PeNCs and can be employed to fabricate fine pixels for high-resolution displays and for near-eye augmented reality/virtual reality devices are explored.

Abstract
In present study, control sized cadmium sulphide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) and cellulose nanocrystals grafted polyvinylpyrrolidone (CNC-g-PVP) doped CdS QDs were synthesized via co-precipitation. The suggested pathway is fruitful in throwing out organic pollutants like methylene blue (MB) from industrial water and bactericidal applications. A series of characterization techniques were used to determine the structural, optical and morphological qualities of prepared samples. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern verified hexagonal structure with no significant change occurring in the spectrum upon doping (2, 4, and 6 %). The UV-vis spectrophotometer describes blueshift in absorption pattern, resulting in an increase in band gap energy (Eg) upon doping. Catalytic activity (CA) against MB in basic and neutral medium demonstrated remarkable results compared with the acidic medium. Furthermore, bactericidal potential of doped sample (6 %) exhibited the significantly higher inhibition zones of 5.25 mm and 4.05 mm against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Gram-positive (G+ve) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Gram-negative (G-ve), respectively. In silico predictions for these doped QDs were performed against selected enzyme targets (i.e. DNA gyrase and FabI) to unveil the mystery governing these bactericidal activities.

Abstract
Future technologies underpinning multifunctional physical and chemical systems and compact biological sensors will rely on densely packed transformative and tunable circuitry employing nanophotonics. For many years, plasmonics was considered as the only available platform for subwavelength optics, but the recently emerged field of resonant metaphotonics may provide a versatile practical platform for nanoscale science by employing resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and metasurfaces. Here, we discuss the recently emerged field of metaphotonics and describe its connection to material science and chemistry. For tunabilty, metaphotonics employs a variety of the recently highlighted materials such as polymers, perovskites, transition metal dichalcogenides, and phase change materials. This allows to achieve diverse functionalities of metasystems and metasurfaces for efficient spatial and temporal control of light by employing multipolar resonances and the physics of bound states in the continuum. We anticipate expanding applications of these concepts in nanolasers, tunable metadevices, metachemistry, as well as a design of a new generation of chemical and biological ultracompact sensing devices.

Abstract
The outstanding optical properties and multiphoton absorption of lead halide perovskites make them promising for use as fluorescence tags in bioimaging applications. However, their poor stability in aqueous media and biological fluids significantly limits their further use for in vitro and in vivo applications. In this work, we have developed a universal approach for the encapsulation of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) (CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3) as water-resistant fluorescent markers, which are suitable for fluorescence bioimaging. The obtained encapsulated PNCs demonstrate bright green emission at 510 nm (CsPbBr3) and red emission at 688 nm (CsPbI3) under one- and two-photon excitation, and they possess an enhanced stability in water and biological fluids (PBS, human serum) for a prolonged period of time (1 week). Further in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed enhanced stability of PNCs even after their introduction directly into the biological microenvironment (CT26 cells and DBA mice). The developed approach allows making a step toward stable, low-cost, and highly efficient bioimaging platforms that are spectrally tunable and have narrow emission.

Abstract
The weak interfacial binding affinities of the inorganic perovskite core with ligands and high density of surface defect states induce the facile detachment of surface ligands from nanocrystals (NCs), resulting in their poor colloidal stability and fluorescence in aqueous. In this work, a powerful ligand engineering strategy was proposed for eliminating the surface defects and aggregation of the NCs. Using an amphiphilic polymer octylamine-modified polyacrylic acid (OPA) as a capping ligand, the as-synthesized CsPbBr3 NCs retain high photoluminescence intensity and stability by the modified ligand-assisted reprecipitation method. The increase in the fluorescence lifetime and NC size could also be observed, and how the NC particle size influences fluorescence lifetime was further studied. In addition, the water stability, photostability, and thermal stability were significantly improved, and the fluorescence of NCs can maintain 80.13% of the original value in water for 15 d. We further validated that the strong binding affinity of OPA and oleylamine ligands with CsPbBr3 NCs leads to a reduction in surface trap states, and a large amount of carboxyl groups of the OPA made the NCs preserve good water solubility. In addition, the OPA has the ability of adjusting the particle size of NCs. Furthermore, a wavelength-shifted colorimetric sensor based on these NCs was constructed for detection of Cl- in sweat, which enables the rapid and visual detection of Cl- with high accuracy and stability. Overall, these CsPbBr3 NCs synthesized by the ligand engineering strategy validated their wide applications in biomedical sensing fields.

Abstract
Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted tremendous attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices. For light-emitting diode (LED) applications, nanostructuring of MHPs is considered to be inevitable, but its light-enhancement mechanism is still elusive because the particle (or grain) size is often beyond the quantum confinement regime. As motivated by the experimental finding that the nanostructuring can change the preferred crystalline symmetry from the orthorhombic phase to the high-symmetric cubic phase, we here investigated the carrier dynamics in various polymorphic phases of CsPbBr3 using ab initio quantum dynamics simulation. We found that the cubic phase shows a smaller inelastic phonon scattering than the orthorhombic phase; the suppression of the octahedral tilt minimizes the longitudinal Br fluctuation and helps disentangle the A-site cation dynamics from the nonadiabatic carrier dynamics. We thus anticipate that our present work will offer a material design principle to enhance the quantum yield of MHPs via symmetry engineering, which will help develop highly luminescent LED technology based on MHPs.

Abstract
This work aims to test the effectiveness of newly developed DFT-1/2 functional in calculating the electronic and optical properties of inorganic lead halide perovskites CsPbBr3. Herein, from DFT-1/2 we have obtained the direct band gap of 2.36 eV and 3.82 eV for orthorhombic bulk and 001-surface, respectively. The calculated energy band gap is in qualitative agreement with the experimental findings. The bandgap of ultra-thin film of CsPbBr3 is found to be 3.82 eV, which is more than the expected range 1.23-3.10 eV. However, we have found that the bandgap can be reduced by increasing the surface thickness. Thus, the system under investigation looks promising for optoelectronic and photocatalysis applications, due to the bandgap matching and high optical absorption in UV-Vis (Ultra violet and visible spectrum) range of electro-magnetic(em) radiation.

Abstract
The advantage of using flexible metallic structures as the substrate of flexible lasers over plastic materials is its strong mechanical strength and high thermal conductivity. Here, it is proposed to deposit CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots onto Ni porous foam for the realization of flexible lasers. Under two-photon 800 nm excitation at room temperature, incoherent random lasing emission is observed at ≈537 nm. By external deformation of the Ni porous foam, incoherent random lasing can be tuned to amplified spontaneous emission as well as the corresponding lasing threshold be controlled. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the laser is robust to intensive bending (>1000 bending cycles) with minimum effect on the lasing intensity. This flexible laser is also shown to be an ideal light source to produce a "speckle" free micro-image.

Abstract
Inorganic halides perovskite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I or mixed halide systems Cl/Br and Br/I) nanoparticles are efficient light-conversion objects that have attracted significant attention due to their broadband tunability over the entire visible spectral range of 410–700 nm and high quantum yield of up to 95%. Here, we demonstrate a new method of recrystallization of CsPbBr3 nanoparticles inside the electrospun fluoropolymer fibers. We have synthesized nonwoven tetrafluoroethylene mats embedding CsPbBr3 nanoparticles using inexpensive commercial precursors and syringe electrospinning equipment. The fabricated nonwoven mat samples demonstrated both down-conversion of UV light to 506 nm and up-conversion of IR femtosecond laser radiation to 513 nm green photoluminescence characterized by narrow emission line-widths of 35 nm. Nanoparticle formation inside nonwoven fibers was confirmed by TEM imaging and water stability tests controlled by fluorimetry measurements. The combination of enhanced optical properties of CsPbBr3 nanoparticles and mechanical stability and environmental robustness of highly deformable nonwoven fluoropolymer mats is appealing for flexible optoelectronic applications, while the industry-friendly fabrication method is attractive for commercial implementations.

Abstract
Despite the great success in the increase in the power conversion efficiency of lead halide perovskite solar cells, the toxicity of lead and the unstable nature of the materials are still major concerns for their wider implementation at the industrial level. Herein, large-size single crystals (SCs) are developed in HI solution by using a temperature lowering method and nanocrystals (NCs) of A3 Bi2 I9 perovskites [where A=CH3 NH3 + (MA)+ , Cs+ , and (Rb0.05 Cs2.95 )+ ] are formed in ethanol (EtOH) and toluene (TOL). The stability of A3 Bi2 I9 perovskite is investigated by immersing the SCs for 24 h and pellets for 12 h in water. Moreover, the A3 Bi2 I9 perovskite NCs displays a promising photoluminescence quantum yield of 17.63 % and a long lifetime of 8.20 ns.

Abstract
Nanophotonics based on resonant nanostructures and metasurfaces made of halide perovskites have become a prospective direction for efficient light manipulation at the subwavelength scale in advanced photonic designs. One of the main challenges in this field is the lack of large-scale low-cost technique for subwavelength perovskite structures fabrication preserving highly efficient luminescence. Here, unique properties of halide perovskites addressed to their extremely low thermal conductivity (lower than that of silica glass) and high defect tolerance to apply projection femtosecond laser lithography for nanofabrication with precise spatial control in all three dimensions preserving the material luminescence efficiency are employed. Namely, with CH3 NH3 PbI3 perovskite highly ordered nanoholes and nanostripes of width as small as 250 nm, metasurfaces with periods less than 400 nm, and nanowire lasers as thin as 500 nm, corresponding to the state-of-the-art in multistage expensive lithographical methods are created. Remarkable performance of the developed approach allows to demonstrate a number of advanced optical applications, including morphology-controlled photoluminescence yield, structural coloring, optical- information encryption, and lasing.
