Herein, an oxygen defect-modulated zinc oxide sonosensitizer is designed, which enhances the absorbance of ultrasound energy and suppresses the recombination of ultrasound-initiated electrons and holes to promote reactive oxygen species yield. It achieves a high tumor inhibition efficiency of 79.9%, which exhibits a potential application for sonodynamic cancer therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein we report an efficient adsorptive separation approach for monobromotoluene isomers using nonporous adaptive crystals of perbromoethylated pillar[5]arene (BrP5). The purity of separated m-bromotoluene from an equal volume mixture of m-bromotoluene and o-bromotoluene reaches 96.6% in one cycle and the adsorbent BrP5 can be reused without losing separation performance.

The all-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite presents promising prospects due to its suitable band gap and nonvolatile nature, while serious nonradiative recombination and unmatched energy level alignment hinder its further developments. Here, a facile and effective surface treatment strategy is proposed to modify the CsPbI3 surface with ethanolamine, leading to significantly reduced defects, and ameliorated band alignment and morphology. Consequently, a champion power conversion efficiency of 18.41% with improved stability is achieved for the inverted CsPbI3 solar cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
