Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with excellent intrinsic properties have been employed universally in optoelectronic applications but undergo hydrolysis even when exposed to atmospheric moisture. In the present study, composite CsPbX (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite NCs were encapsulated with stretchable (poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene); SBS) fibers by electrospinning to prepare water-resistant hybrid membranes as multicolor optical active layers. Brightly luminescent and color-tunable hydrophobic fiber membranes (FMs) with perovskite NCs were maintained for longer than 1 h in water. A unique remote FMs packaging approach was used in high-brightness perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) for the first time.

The need to find sustainable alternatives to reduce the dependence on fossil sources has led to significant research efforts on the conversion of biomass into platform chemicals. Modern organic chemistry requires easily obtainable chiral building blocks that show high chemical versatility for their application in the synthesis of enantiopure compounds. The selective pyrolytic conversion of cellulose or cellulose‐containing materials produces levoglucosenone, a highly functionalized chiral structure. This compound has been innovatively used as a template for the synthesis of key intermediates of biologically active products and for the preparation of chiral auxiliaries, catalysts, and organocatalysts for their application in asymmetric synthesis.

Cesium lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have drawn extensive attention due to their excellent optical properties. However, their use is limited by poor stability. To enhance their stability, we electrospun perovskite-embedded fibers from composite CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite QDs, blending with three polymers, poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), or polystyrene (PS), for the light-emitting diode (LED) applications. We found that the stretchable CsPbBr3@SBS fibers revealed the highest photoluminescence quantum yield, the CsPbBr3@PMMA fibers demonstrated a high thermal stability, and the CsPbBr3@PS fibers exhibited the best water-resistant stability. The photoluminescence intensity maintained 83% of its initial intensity for more than 3 months in water. Furthermore, the LED devices are manufactured from the blue chips and packaged with the core/shell red and green perovskite-based fibers by using biaxial electrospinning exhibited stable and highly efficient white luminescence. The luminance and efficiency are higher than 400% of the values of multilayered structures.
