The disclosure provides, inter alia, formulations comprising cerium (III) carbonate, and processes for producing cerium (III) carbonate. In embodiments, the disclosure provides methods for passivating photodegradation of organic compounds using cerium (III) carbonate.

A method for preparing nanocrystal-metal oxide composites with long-term stability is disclosed herein. The nanocrystals are mixed with a first metal oxide precursor, a solvent and water to form a sol-gel composite. The sol-gel composite is pulverized to form a sol-gel composite powder. The sol-gel composite is then reacted with a second metal oxide precursor. The nanocrystal-metal oxide composites have a high luminescence efficiency and uniform emission wavelengths. The nanocrystal-metal oxide composite is used to manufacture a light-emitting device.
