The AgBiS₂ nanocrystal solar cells exhibit no drop in their device performance before and after the water treatment, suggesting that AgBiS₂ nanocrystal solids are highly water-resistant.

Diphenyl ether acts as a predominant processing additive regardless of the polymer crystallinity in bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells.

Mechanoluminescence platforms, combining phosphors with elastic polymer matrix, have emerged in smart wearable technology due to their superior elasticity and mechanically driven luminescent properties. However, their luminescence performance often deteriorates under extreme elastic conditions owing to a misinterpretation of polymer matrix behavior. Here, we unveil the role of the polymer matrices in mechanoluminescence through an interface-triboelectric effect driven by elasticity, achieving both high elasticity and brightness. By investigating interactions between elastic polymers and copper doped zinc sulfide microparticles, we reveal that elasticity significantly governed triboelectric effects for mechanoluminescence. In particular, high negative triboelectricity emerged as the key to overcoming poor triboelectric effect in extreme elastic conditions. This led to the discovery of polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate silane and polycarbonate silane, achieving remarkable elasticity over 100% and a brightness of 139 cd/m². These findings offer fundamental insights to select the optimal polymer matrix based on systematic parameters for various smart wearable applications.
