A novel high refractive index and highly transparent silicone resin-type material for the packaging of high-power lightemitting diodes (LEDs) is introduced, which was synthesized by hydrosilylation of vinyl end-capped methylphenyl silicone resin and methylphenyl hydrosilicone oil catalyzed by Karstedt's catalyst. The vinyl end-capped methylphenyl silicone resins were prepared by hydrolysisÀpolycondensation method from methylphenyl diethoxysilane (MePhSi(OEt) 2 ), phenyl triethoxysilane (PhSi(OEt) 3 ), and vinyl dimethylethoxy silane (Me 2 ViSiOEt) in toluene/water mixture catalyzed by cation-exchange resin. The vinyl end-capped methylphenyl silicone resins were characterized by 1 H-NMR and Fourier-transform infrared. The performances of the cured silicone resintype materials for LED packaging have been examined in detail.

This study offers an alternative route for exploring photocatalytic N 2 fixation materials.
Efficient coupling solar energy conversion and N2 fixation by photocatalysis has been shown promising potentials. However, the unsatisfied yield rate of NH3 curbs its forward application. Defective typical perovskite, BaTiO3, shows remarkable activity under an applied magnetic field for photocatalytic N2 fixation with an NH3 yield rate exceeding 1.93 mg L−1 h−1. Through steered surface spin states and oxygen vacancies, the electromagnetic synergistic effect between the internal electric field and an external magnetic field is stimulated. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal the regulation of electronic and magnetic properties through manipulation of oxygen vacancies and inducement of Lorentz force and spin selectivity effect. The electromagnetic effect suppresses the recombination of photoexcited carriers in semiconducting nanomaterials, which acts synergistically to promote N2 adsorption and activation while facilitating fast charge separation under UV‐vis irradiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
