Halide perovskites offer great promise for optoelectronic applications, but stability issues continue to hinder its implementation and long-term stability. The stability of all-inorganic halide perovskites and the inherent quantum confinement of low dimensional perovskites can be harnessed to synthesize materials with high PL efficiency. An example of such materials is the recently reported new family of layered double perovskites, Cs4Mn1−xCdxBi2Cl12. Herein, we report a new synthetic procedure that enhances the maximum PLQY of this family materials to up 79.5%, a 20% enhancement from previous reports and the highest reported for a Mn-doped halide perovskite. Importantly, stability tests demonstrate that these materials are very stable towards humidity, UV irradiation, and temperature. Finally, we investigated the photophysics, the effects of magnetic coupling and temperature in the PL efficiency and proposed a mechanism for the emission process. Our results highlight the potential of this family of materials and related layered all-inorganic perovskites for solid-state lighting and optoelectronic applications<p></p>

Layered perovskites have attracted considerable attention in optoelectronic applications due to their excellent electronic properties and stability. In this work, the quasi-2D aurivillius halide perovskites are investigated using density functional theory. The single-layer aurivillius perovskite Ba2PbI6 is predicted to have a direct bandgap of 1.89 eV, which is close to that of the Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite Cs2PbI4. The electronic structures near the Fermi level are mainly governed by the [PbX6] octahedra, which leads to similar electronic properties to that of Cs2PbI4. Decomposition energies reveal that these aurivillius perovskites exhibit thermal instability. Increasing the number of [PbX6] octahedra layer can enhance the stability and reduce the bandgap. Bi- and In-based aurivillius perovskites are also calculated to evaluate the Pb-free alternatives. These calculations can serve as a theoretical support in exploring novel layered perovskites.<br>

Background: Since the distribution networks are passive until Distributed Generation (DG) is not being installed into them, the stability issues occur in the distribution system after the integration of DG. Methods: In order to assure the simplicity during the calculations, many approximations have been proposed for finding the system’s parameters i.e. Voltage, active and reactive powers and load angle, more efficiently and accurately. This research presents an algorithm for finding the Norton’s equivalent model of distribution system with DG, considering from receiving end. Norton’s model of distribution system can be determined either from its complete configuration or through an algorithm using system’s voltage and current profiles. The algorithm involves the determination of derivative of apparent power against the current (dS/dIL) of the system. Results: This work also verifies the accuracy of proposed algorithm according to the relative variations in the phase angle of system’s impedance. This research also considers the varying states of distribution system due to switching in and out of DG and therefore Norton’s model needs to be updated accordingly. Conclusion: The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is verified through MATLAB simulation results under two scenarios, (i) normal condition and (ii) faulty condition. During normal condition, the stability factor near to 1 and change in dS/dIL was near to 0 while during fault condition, the stability factor was higher than 1 and the value of dS/dIL was away from 0.

The use of naturally occurring materials in biomedicine has been increasingly attracting the researchers’ interest and, in this regard, gum tragacanth (GT) is recently showing great promise as a therapeutic substance in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As a polysaccharide, GT can be easily extracted from the stems and branches of various species of Astragalus. This anionic polymer is known to be a biodegradable, non-allergenic, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic material. The stability against microbial, heat and acid degradation has made GT an attractive material not only in industrial settings (e.g., food packaging) but also in biomedical approaches (e.g., drug delivery). Over time, GT has been shown to be a useful reagent in the formation and stabilization of metal nanoparticles in the context of green chemistry. With the advent of tissue engineering, GT has also been utilized for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds applied for both hard and soft tissue healing strategies. However, more research is needed for defining GT applicability in the future of biomedical engineering. On this object, the present review aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview of GT in biomedicine and tries to open new horizons in the field based on its inherent characteristics.
