Abstract
The use of optoelectronic devices for high-speed and low-power data transmission and computing is considered in the next-generation logic circuits. Heterostructures, which can generate and transmit photoresponse signals dealing with different input lights, are highly desirable for optoelectronic logic gates. Here, the printed on-chip perovskite heterostructures are demonstrated to achieve optical-controlled "AND" and "OR" optoelectronic logic gates. Perovskite heterostructures are printed with a high degree of control over composition, site, and crystallization. Different regions of the printed perovskite heterostructures exhibit distinguishable photoresponse to varied wavelengths of input lights, which can be utilized to achieve optical-controlled logic functions. Correspondingly, parallel operations of the two logic gates ("AND" and "OR") by way of choosing the output electrodes under the single perovskite heterostructure. Benefiting from the uniform crystallization and strict alignment of the printed perovskite heterostructures, the integrated 3 × 3 pixels all exhibit 100% logic operation accuracy. Finally, optical-controlled logic gates responding to multiwavelength light can be printed on the predesigned microelectrodes as the on-chip integrated circuits. This printing strategy allows for integrating heterostructure-based optical and electronic devices from a unit-scale device to a system-scale device.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are considered ideal candidates for future photovoltaic applications due to their excellent photovoltaic properties. Although solution-printed manufacturing has shown inherent potential for the low-cost, high-throughput production of thin-film semiconductor electronics, the high-quality and high-reproducibility deposition of large-area perovskite remains a bottleneck that restricts their commercialization due to the droplet coffee-ring effect (CRE). In this study, these issues are addressed by introducing an in situ polymer framework. The 3D framework formed by spontaneous cross-linking improves the precursor viscosity and homogenizes its heat diffusion coefficient, counteracting the lateral capillary flow of the colloidal particles and anchoring their flocculent movement. Thus, the Marangoni convection intensity is properly controlled to ensure high-quality perovskite films, which significantly enhances reproducibility in printing efficient photovoltaics by mitigating the CRE. Subsequently, the perovskite solar cells and modules achieve power conversion efficiencies of 23.94 and 17.53%, and exhibit positive environmental stability, retaining over 90 and 78% efficiency after storage for 2500 and 1600 h, respectively. This work may serves as a foundation for exploring precursor rheology to match the homogeneous deposition requirements of perovskite photovoltaics and facilitating the advancement of their printing manufacturing and commercialization transition.

Abstract
Crack formation observed across diverse fields like geology, nanotechnology, arts, structural engineering or surface science, is a chaotic and undesirable phenomenon, resulting in random patterns of cracks generally leading to material failure. Limiting the formation of cracks or "programming" the path of cracks is a great technological challenge since it holds promise to enhance material durability or even to develop low cost patterning methods. Drawing inspiration from negative phototropism in plants, we demonstrate the capability to organize, guide, replicate, or arrest crack propagation in colloidal films through remote light manipulation. The key consists in using plasmonic photothermal absorbers to generate "virtual" defects enabling controlled deviation of cracks. We engineer a dip-coating process coupled with selective light irradiation enabling simultaneous deposition and light-directed crack patterning. This approach represents a rare example of a robust self-assembly process with long-range order that can be programmed in both space and time.

Abstract
The ability to pattern semiconducting conjugated polymers (CPs) and concurrently enable their highly oriented chains represents an important endeavor to render their high charge mobility for electronic devices. However, simple yet generalizable routes to CPs with such desirable characteristics are limited. Herein, we report a robust meniscus-assisted solution printing (MASP) strategy to craft arrays of donor-acceptor CP stripes and scrutinize the correlation between different stripes and their charge transport attributes. Specifically, the MASP constrains the CP solution to evaporate between two nearly parallel plates with a stationary upper plate and a mobile lower plate containing periodic photoresist (PR) microchannels. Orchestrating the MASP speed comparable to the CP crystal growth rate yields CP stripe arrays with highly aligned CP crystals, resulting in the highest carrier mobility. Notably, our MASP technique can conveniently pattern other CPs of interest. It stands out as a simple strategy to impart large-scale production of functional materials for a wide range of applications in optics, electronics, sensors, etc.

Abstract
Cracks are frequently observed in drying colloidal coatings. Although a rich collection of crack patterns has been reported, the systematic study on how cracks grow into the final morphology during the drying process remains elusive. In this work, we use directional drying channels with wedge-shaped edges of different angles to study the interplay of advancing consolidation fronts and propagating cracks. We found that although the shape of the advancing consolidation fronts is altered by the drying edge, the growth direction of the following cracks remains perpendicular to the consolidation fronts during the whole drying process, resulting in cracks with a large curvature. We rationalize the evolution of consolidation fronts with the distribution of capillary pressure revealed by a Laplace model. Further, the growth direction of cracks can be explained by the fracture mechanics mechanism that the main orientation of internal tensile stresses developed during the consolidation determines the crack growth direction. Utilizing this understanding, wavy crack patterns are generated in rectangular drying channels with an alternating temperature field, demonstrating a feasible method of designing and controlling drying-induced crack patterns for micro-/nano-fabrication applications.

Abstract
Precise diagnosis of the boundary and grade of tumors is especially important for surgical dissection. Recently, visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) absorption differences of tumors are demonstrated for a precise tumor diagnosis. Here, a template-assisted sequential printing strategy is investigated to construct lateral heterostructured Vis-NIR photodetectors, relying on the up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)/perovskite arrays. Under the sequential printing process, the synergistic effect and co-confinement are demonstrated to induce the UCNPs to cover both sides of the perovskite microwire. The side-wrapped lateral heterogeneous UCNPs/perovskite structure exhibits more satisfactory responsiveness to Vis-NIR light than the common fully wrapped structure, due to sufficient visible-light-harvesting ability. The Vis-NIR photodetectors with R reaching 150 mA W-1 at 980 nm and 1084 A W-1 at 450 nm are employed for the rapid classification of glioma. The detection accuracy rate of 99.3% is achieved through a multimodal analysis covering the Vis-NIR light, which provides a reliable basis for glioma grade diagnosis. This work provides a concrete example for the application of photodetectors in tumor detection and surgical diagnosis.

Abstract
Armed with the merits of one-dimensional nanostructures (flexibility, high aspect ratio, and anisotropy) and metals (high conductivity, plasmonic properties, and catalytic activity), metal nanowires (MNWs) have stood out as a new class of nanomaterials in the last two decades. They are envisaged to expedite significantly and even revolutionize a broad spectrum of applications related to display, sensing, energy, plasmonics, photonics, and catalysis. Compared with disordered MNWs, well-organized MNWs would not only enhance the intrinsic physical and chemical properties, but also create new functions and sophisticated architectures of optoelectronic devices. This paper presents a comprehensive review of assembly strategies of MNWs, including self-assembly for specific structures, alignment for anisotropic constructions, and patterning for precise configurations. The technical processes, underlying mechanisms, performance indicators, and representative applications of these strategies are described and discussed to inspire further innovation in assembly techniques and guide the fabrication of optoelectrical devices. Finally, a perspective on the critical challenges and future opportunities of MNW assembly is provided.

Abstract
Perovskite nanowires (NWs) have attracted considerable interest because of their excellent polarization properties. In this work, we first synthesized colloidal lead halide CsPbBr3NWs with suitable lengths and excellent polarization performance by the method of the thermal injection. By embedding the NWs in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare practical a polymer composite and combining it with the mechanical stretching method, we achieved films with higher polarizing properties. The optimized stretched composite film achieved a polarization degree of 0.4992, which is superior to that of the unstretched one. The stretched PVA molecules are arranged in a straight line, which absorbs the polarized light parallel to the alignment direction, and only allows the polarized light in the vertical direction to pass through. Therefore, the arrangement of the spin-coated NWs combined with the arrangement direction of the PVA molecules led to an improvement in the polarization performance of the composite film. The NWs-PVA-stretched composite films will show important application value in the manufacture of next-generation polarization-sensitive optoelectronic devices and other fields.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites are widely used in optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. Defects in this class of low-temperature solution-processed semiconductors play significant roles in the optoelectronic properties and performance of devices based on these semiconductors. Investigating the defect properties provides not only insight into the origin of the outstanding performance of perovskite optoelectronic devices but also guidance for further improvement of performance. Defects in perovskites have been intensely studied. Here, we review the progress in defect-related physics and techniques for perovskites.

Micro-to-Nanometer Scale Patterning of Perovskite Inks via Controlled Self-Assemblies. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15041521. [PMID: 35208061 PMCID: PMC8878448 DOI: 10.3390/ma15041521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
In the past decade, perovskite materials have gained intensive interest due to their remarkable material properties in optoelectronics and photodetectors. This review highlights recent advances in micro-to-nanometer scale patterning of perovskite inks, placing an undue emphasis on recently developed approaches to harness spatially ordered and crystallographically oriented structures with unprecedented regularity via controlled self-assemblies, including blade coating, inkjet printing, and nanoimprinting. Patterning of the perovskite elements at the micro- or nanometer scale might be a key parameter for their integration in a real system. Nowadays, unconventional approaches based on irreversible solution evaporation hold an important position in the structuring and integration of perovskite materials. Herein, easier type patterning techniques based on evaporations of polymer solutions and the coffee ring effect are systematically reviewed. The recent progress in the potential applications of the patterned perovskite inks is also introduced.

Abstract
Photoalignment technology provides high potential for the manipulation of molecular orientations and has been widely used in liquid crystal displays. In this work, we align a luminescent film composite of CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs) and liquid crystal molecules through photoalignment conducted on a PDMS template. We successfully define different orientations of CsPbBr3 NWs on the same substrate and the fluorescence micrographs clearly exhibit the orthogonal polarization direction of the two regions. On the basis of this research, we develop micro-photoalignment technology, which is promising for fabricating complex and precise nanostructures for photonic applications.

Abstract
Because of their enhanced quantum confinement, colloidal two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite nanosheets with a general formula L2[ABX3]n-1BX4 stand as a promising narrow-wavelength blue-emitting nanomaterial. Despite ample studies on batch synthesis, for RP perovskites to be broadly applied, continuous synthetic routes are needed. Herein, we design and optimize a flow reactor to continuously produce high-quality n = 1 RP perovskite nanoplatelets. The effects of antisolvent composition, reactor tube length, precursor solution injection rate, and antisolvent injection rate on the morphology and optical properties of the nanoplatelets are systematically examined. Our investigation suggests that flow reactors can be employed to synthesize high-quality L2PbX4 perovskite nanoplatelets (i.e., n = 1) at rates greater than 8 times that of batch synthesis. Mass-produced perovskite nanoplatelets promise a variety of potential applications in optoelectronics, including light emitting diodes, photodetectors, and solar cells.

Abstract
Oriented semiconductor nanostructures and thin films exhibit many advantageous properties, such as directional exciton transport, efficient charge transfer and separation, and optical anisotropy, and hence these nanostructures are highly promising for use in optoelectronics and photonics. The controlled growth of these structures can facilitate device integration to improve optoelectronic performance and benefit in-depth fundamental studies of the physical properties of these materials. Halide perovskites have emerged as a new family of promising and cost-effective semiconductor materials for next-generation high-power conversion efficiency photovoltaics and for versatile high-performance optoelectronics, such as light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, and high-energy radiation imaging and detectors. In this Review, we summarize the advances in the fabrication of halide perovskite nanostructures and thin films with controlled dimensionality and crystallographic orientation, along with their applications and performance characteristics in optoelectronics. We examine the growth methods, mechanisms, and fabrication strategies for several technologically relevant structures, including nanowires, nanoplates, nanostructure arrays, single-crystal thin films, and highly oriented thin films. We highlight and discuss the advantageous photophysical properties and remarkable performance characteristics of oriented nanostructures and thin films for optoelectronics. Finally, we survey the remaining challenges and provide a perspective regarding the opportunities for further progress in this field.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) exhibit optoelectronic properties that are dependent on their ionic composition, and the feasible exploitation of these properties for device applications requires the ability to control the ionic composition integrated with the patterning process. Herein, the halide exchange process of MHP thin films directly combined with the patterning process via a vapor transport method is demonstrated. Specifically, the patterned arrays of CH3 NH3 PbBr3 (MAPbBr3 ) are obtained by stepwise conversion from polymer-templated PbI2 thin films to CH3 NH3 PbI3 (MAPbI3 ), followed by halide exchange via precursor switching from CH3 NH3 I to CH3 NH3 Br. It is confirmed that the phase transformation from MAPbI3 patterns to MAPbBr3 shows time- and position-dependences on the substrate during halide exchange following the solid-solution model with Avrami kinetics. The photodetectors fabricated from the completely exchanged MAPbBr3 patterns display exceptional air stability and reversible detectivity from "apparent death" upon removing the adsorbed impurities, thereby suggesting the superior structural stability of perovskite patterns prepared through vapor-phase halide exchange. The results demonstrate the potential of chemical vapor deposition patterning of MHP materials in multicomponent optoelectronic device systems.
