Great article and amazing compounds!

Why are FASnI3-xBrx unsuitable for solar cells? Hidden complexity in FASnI3-xBrx: halide mixing impacts more than bandgap. From lone pair expression in Sn2+ expect unexpected phase behaviors and photoluminescence quenching. Is FASnBr3 a pseudoperovskite?pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Long time coming...Discovering two new phases of 3D perovskite CsSnBr3 below 85 K! They exhibit unique ferroaxial and ferroelectric orders, leading to functionalities like second harmonic generation, electrostriction, and negative thermal expansion. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites: New compound fuses Ruddlesden–Popper & Dion–Jacobson perovskites into a remarkable single structure. If we can learn to mix and match different motifs we create tailor-made optoelectronic materials. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats Chad A. Mirkin! Mirkin is honored for discovering spherical nucleic acids (SNAs)—nanostructures with a nanoparticle core and radially distributed DNA/RNA strands. This breakthrough in #nanomedicine advances biomedical research. #KavliPrize2024

Disorder on all scales is generally a good thing for thermoelectric materials. Understanding it is time-consuming, complicated but highly revealing. Check out this latest amazingly complex labyrinthine semiconductor system. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

A good day at grc.org/unconventional… the Kanatzidis contingent enjoying the conference

Transforming GeSe into a top-notch thermoelectric material by raising its symmetry and doubling its performance! Our latest study shows that alloying GeSe with LiBiTe2 leads to doped samples enhanced ZTs, power factors, and ultra-low thermal conductivity. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
