文摘The applications of one-dimensional(1D)halide perovskite heterostructures based on single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)remain an unresolved challenge.Herein,1D van der Waals heterostructures composed of CsPbI_(3)(CPI)encapsulated within semiconducting SWCNTs(CPI@s-SWCNTs)are designed for negative photodetectors and photosynapse devices via modulable photocarrier engineering.A single CPI@SWCNT device demonstrates a notable n-doping effect and exhibits negative photoresponse.Theoretical simulations reveal that the electrons transferred from CPI to SWCNT amount to 0.73e/cell.Large-area CPI@s-SWCNTs film can be obtained through the separation using the ultraviolet(UV)photosensitive polymer poly[9-(1-octyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-nonyl](PCz).Under visible light irradiation,the large-area film device exhibits remarkable negative photoresponse(−9.3 A/W)owing to the photoelectric effect of internally filled CPI.Under UV irradiation,the film device exhibits synaptic behavior of electrical writing and optical erasing due to the persistent photoconductivity effect of the surface polymer PCz.This work not only provides a general strategy for the separation and application of halide perovskite filled SWCNTs,but also paves the way for broader applications of 1D van der Waals heterostructures in multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

文摘Rivers are crucial in the spread of invasive plants.Invasive plants alter their seed traits to adapt to environmental changes and promote invasion.Studying the trait changes in invasive plant seeds may improve the understanding of their propagation mechanisms along the river and provide appropriate control measures.In this study,seven Ambrosia trifida populations along the Liaohe River were used as study subjects.The results showed that the seven A.trifida populations were closely related and exhibited a certain gene exchange,but the absence of evidence of directed gene flow among populations did not confirm that rivers were the medium of seed dispersal of A.trifida.Along the Liaohe River,from top to bottom,the positive view area,length,width,perimeter,and thousand seed weight of A.trifida seeds showed an increasing trend.The total nitrogen and phosphorus contents in the river water of the A.trifida population in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River were higher than those at the other sites.Furthermore,along the river,from top to bottom,the available nitrogen,total nitrogen,total potassium,available potassium,and organic matter contents in the soil in which A.trifida populations grew showed significant increasing trends.River structure,water quality,and soil nutrients had direct and indirect effects on seed morphology.Soil total nitrogen,available potassium,and organic matter had significant positive effects on seed positive view area and perimeter,suggesting that the maternal effect played a critical role in shaping seed morphology.Our analysis showed that soil nutrients along the river may be the primary driver that governs changes in A.trifida seed traits.

We havenoticed that the names of the fourth author, Ms. Qin, and the correspondingauthor, Dr. Qu, were spelled incorrectly. The correct names should be Ying Qinand Guang-Jin Qu, respectively.
