A sustainable approach is reported for upcycling PET waste into thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE)‐based films with advanced properties, specifically designed for applications in strain sensing, conductivity, and photothermal response. Through a layer‐by‐layer deposition technique, TPEE films are fabricated with bio‐compatible chitosan (CH) or ...

From Photo‐Damage to Self‐Healing in Thin Film Pb‐Iodide Perovskites: Action at a Distance
Fluorescence imaging uncovers pronounced spatial and temporal changes in photoluminescence of halide perovskite films following laser‐induced damage. Modifications spatially extend well beyond the illuminated region and evolve over distinct time scales ranging from seconds to many hours, revealing material‐specific self‐healing pathways. These findings

Determining the Width of the Dynamic Emission Zone in Light‐Emitting Electrochemical Cells
The width of the dynamically evolving emission zone (EZ) in light‐emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) is important since it has a strong influence on the emission efficiency. Here, a spectral simulation and measurement method is presented, which is utilized for the determination of the EZ width evolution during the initial operation of a common ...

This study investigates sodium fluoride (NaF) as an additive in halide perovskite films to improve their optical and light amplification properties for application in laser diodes. The incorporation of NaF leads to a threefold increase in light‐emitting intensity and a 20% reduction in the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold, along with ...
