    All-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) nanocrystals are one of the prominent members of the metal halide perovskite family of semiconductor materials, which possess considerable stability and excellent optoelectronic properties leading to a multitude of their potential applications in solar cells, light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and lasers. Hot-injection strategy is a popular method used to synthesize CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, which provides a convenient route to produce them in the shape of rather monodisperse nanocubes. As in any synthetic procedure, there are different factors like temperature, surface ligands, precursor concentration, as well as necessary postpreparation purification steps. Herein, we provide a comprehensive hot-injection synthesis protocol for CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, outlining intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect its reproducibility and elucidating in detail the precursor solution preparation, nanocrystal formation and growth, and postpreparative purification and storage conditions to allow for the fabrication of high-quality green-emitting material

    All-inorganic perovskite cesium lead halide quantum dots (QDs) have been widely investigated as promising materials for optoelectronic application because of their outstanding photoluminescence (PL) properties and benefits from quantum effects. Although QDs with full-spectra visible emission have been synthesized for years, the PL quantum yield (PLQY) of pure blue-emitting QDs still stays at a low level, in contrast to their green- or red-emitting counterparts. Herein, we obtained core–shell structured cubic CsPbBr<sub>3</sub>@amorphous CsPbBr<sub><i>x</i></sub> (A-CsPbBr<sub><i>x</i></sub>) perovskite QDs via a facile hot injection method and centrifugation process. The core–shell structure QDs showed a record blue emission PLQY of 84%, which is much higher than that of blue-emitting cubic CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> QDs and CsPbBr<sub><i>x</i></sub>Cl<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub> QDs. Furthermore, a blue-emitting QDs-assisted LED with bright pure blue emission was prepared and illustrated the core–shell QDs’ promising prospect in optoelectrical application

    Objectives: This study aims to explore the associations of personality traits and extra-family social relationship with depressive symptoms among Chinese adults.Methods: A nationally representative sample of 29,810 adults aged 16 and above were selected from 2018 CFPS. Personality and depressive symptoms were measured using CBF-PI-15 and the CES-D8 scale. Extra-family social relationship was assessed through the self-rated evaluation. The multiple regression analysis and the PROCESS macro were used for the mediation analysis.Results: Extraversion (OR = 0.807, 95% CI = 0.773, 0.842), agreeableness (OR = 0.795, 95% CI = 0.756, 0.835) and extra-family social relationship (OR = 0.927, 95% CI = 0.913, 0.941) had negative associations with depressive symptoms. Extra-family social relationship could mediate between extraversion and depressive symptoms (Indirect effect = −0.049,95% CI = −0.060, −0.039) as well as agreeableness (Indirect effect = −0.056, 95% CI = −0.068, −0.046) and depressive symptoms. Comparing to females, the indirect effect accounts for a higher proportion of total effect in males.Conclusion: Extra-family social relationship might mediate the association between extraversion and depressive symptoms as well as agreeableness and depressive symptoms.</p
