The objective of this work is to explore the electrochemical and electrodeposition behaviors of Eu (III) cation at the liquid binary Al-Ga alloy cathode. In addition, the co-reduction behaviors of Eu (III), Al (III) and Ga (III) were also systematically studied on a W electrode. The results indicated that Eu (III) can be reduced on the binary Al-Ga alloy cathode, and Eu (III), Al (III) and Ga (III) also can be co-reduced on the W electrode to form Al-Eu/Ga-Eu intermetallic compounds. At the same time, the isothermal section phase diagram of the Al-Ga-Eu ternary system at 773 K was also calculated. In addition, Al-Eu and Ga-Eu alloys were prepared by potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrolyses in the LiCl-KCl-EuCl3 melt. Finally, the electrodeposition products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).

A facile approach was developed for preparing the multilayer hybrid films of mixed (phthalocyaninato) (porphyrinato) europium(III) triple-decker compound (Pc)Eu(Pc)Eu[trans-T(COOCH3)2PP] (1) and graphene oxide (GO) using the solution-processing QLS method. The combination of the nature of relatively high conductivity and great surface area for GO with the electroactive and semiconductive triple-decker compound in ITO electrode renders the hybrid film excellent sensing property for H2O2, due to the optimized triple-decker molecular packing in the uniform-sized nanoparticles (ca. 70 nm) formed on the GO surface. The amperometric responses are linearly proportional to the concentration of H2O2 in the range of 0.05–1800 μM with a fast response time of 0.03 s μM–1, a low detection limit of 0.017 μM, and good sensitivity of 7.4 μA mM–1. The present work represents the best result of tetrapyrrole-based nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor for H2O2. Nevertheless, the triple-decker/GO/ITO also shows excellent stability, reproducibility, and selectivity, indicating the great potential of electroactive tetrapyrrole rare earth sandwich compounds in combination with GO in the field of nonenzymatic electrochemical sensors.

Radioactive uranium leaks into natural water bodies mainly in the form of uranyl ions (UO 2 2+ ), posing ecological and human health risks. Fluorescent europium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) have been demonstrated to be effective fluorescent sensors for UO 2 2+ , but the large size, powder state and poor dispersity limit their further application. In this work, fluorescent Eu-MOFs were in-situ grown on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs), which is the first time that spherical Eu-MOF crystals with sizes below 10 nm were prepared. Fluorescence spectral analysis revealed a nine-fold increase in the fluorescence intensity of TOCNF@Eu-MOF compared to Eu-MOF. The nanocomposites achieved rapid and sensitive fluorescence quenching to UO 2 2+ through the “antenna effect” and unsaturated Lewis basic sites on the ligands binding with UO 2 2+ . Moreover, TOCNF@Eu-MOF demonstrated excellent selectivity and anti-interference for UO 2 2+ detection. For the nanopaper-based sensor made from TOCNF@Eu-MOF, the Stern-Volmer quenching constant ( K SV ) was calculated as 8.21 × 10 4 M −1 , and the lowest limit of detection (LOD) was 6.6 × 10 −7 M, significantly lower than the 1.32 × 10 −6 M of Eu-MOFs. In addition, the nanopaper exhibited good fluorescence stability and cyclic detection performance, enabling the rapid and convenient detection of UO 2 2+ in the aqueous phase within 30 s by simple dipping.

Developing sustainable routes for the synthesis of zeolites is still a vital and challenging task in zeolite scientific community. One of the typical examples is sustainable synthesis of aluminosilicate EU-1 zeolite, which is not very efficient and environmental-unfriendly under hydrothermal condition due to the use of a large amount of water as solvent. Herein, we report a sustainable synthesis route for aluminosilicate EU-1 zeolite without the use of solvent for the first time. The physicochemical properties of the obtained EU-1 zeolite are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), N2sorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which show the product has high crystallinity, uniform morphology, large BET surface area, and four-coordinated aluminum species. Moreover, the impact of synthesis conditions is investigated in detail.

Engineering novel ratiometric temperature sensors with high temperature sensitivity is still of a great challenge in versatile temperature measurement fields. Herein, a self-calibrated optical luminescent thermometer based on Eu 3+ /Mn 2+ dual-activator was fabricated in the same nanocomposite system, which integrated the photoluminescence originated from the temperature-insensitive Eu-metal organic framework with weak coupling effect and the temperature-sensitive Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ with strong coupling effect. Specifically, the as-prepared nanocomposites composed of lanthanide MOF Eu-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ nanorods possessed Eu 3+ /Mn 2+ dual red/green emission, which displays excellent ratiometric temperature-sensing functions and also has high relative sensitivity ( S r ) of 4.1% ºC −1 when they are used as ratiometric luminescent thermometer in the physiological temperatures (25–45 °C). These results demonstrate that such a design strategy with synergistic weak/strong coupling luminescence is useful and the as-obtained Eu-MOF/Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ nanocomposites can be potential for temperature sensor applications.

Bacillus anthracis, an extremely dangerous bacterium which can cause pulmonary anthrax and be used as biochemical weapon agent, can be detected by the detection of its major biomarker 2, 6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (DPA). Herein, we reported the solvothermal synthesis of a non-luminescent NH 2 -BDC-Eu-MOF using Eu 3+ and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH 2 -BDC). The emission of amino ligand and Eu 3+ ions are absent in ethanol while the addition of DPA could recover both emission at 460 and 624 nm respectively. Thus this MOF can act as a dual emission ‘‘turn-on’’ probe for DPA detection. The detection limits (LOD) of this DPA probe are about 0.8 μM in ethanol and 0.36 μM in water, which are much lower than an infectious dosage of bacillus anthracis spores (60 μM) for human being. In order to monitor DPA levels more conveniently, we developed a one-to-two decoder logic gate operation, which can determinate DPA via color discrimination.

Two lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 BTC) and Ln(III) nitrate hydrate (Ln = Eu, Er) as precursors have been prepared through a one-step solvothermal approach. The as-synthesized compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, confirming that the targeted Ln-MOFs were successfully synthesised, with a straw-sheaf appearance. Their sensing properties were studied using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , and the results showed that the prepared Ln-BTCs possessed larger electrochemical-response areas and stronger electron-transport capability, especially the Er-BTC. The oxidation behaviour of Sunset Yellow was investigated, and it was found that the Er-BTC exhibited a superior enhancement effect. Chronocoulometry was used to prove that Er-BTC more strongly adsorbs Sunset Yellow, resulting in a larger electrochemical response signal. The novel Sunset Yellow sensor exhibited a linear response in the range of 0.2–100 nM with a low limit of detection (0.05 nM, S/N = 3), and was applied in drink samples. The results were validated by high-performance liquid chromatography , indicating this sensor is a promising tool for Sunset Yellow detection.

A new dinuclear europium cluster (Eu-cluster) is synthesized and the exact structure is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The formula of the Eu-cluster is determined to be [Eu 2 (4-Msal) 6 (phen) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] (4-Msal = 4-methylsalicylic acid, phen = phenanthroline), it crystallizes in the triclinic space group P -1, with a = 9.1193(8) Å, b = 13.0855(10) Å, c = 14.0981(9) Å, α = 103.159(6)°, β = 94.192(6)°, γ = 100.632(7)°, V = 1598.3(2) Å 3 and Z = 1. Further investigation reveals that the Eu-cluster is a highly sensitive and selective methylmercury (CH 3 Hg + ) sensor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first CH 3 Hg + sensor based on lanthanide clusters/complexes. The responsive behavior shows the sensing has excellent linearity in 1.4–3.8 μg L −1 μM. The LOD for sensing CH 3 Hg + is 0.8 μg L −1 , which meets the standard of Chinese environmental quality standard for agricultural and industrial water. Interestingly, study also reveals the sensor is applicable in real water sensing.

TiO2is a typical semiconductor material, and it has attracted much attention in the field of humidity sensors. Doping is an efficient way to enhance the humidity response of TiO2. Eu-doped TiO2material was investigated in both theoretical simulations and experiments. In a simulation based on density functional theory, a doped Eu atom can increase the performance of humidity sensors by producing more oxygen vacancies than undoped TiO2. In these experiments, Eu-doped TiO2nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the results also confirm the theoretical prediction. When the doping mole ratio is 5 mol%, the response of the humidity sensor reaches 23,997.0, the wet hysteresis is 2.3% and the response/recovery time is 3/13.1 s. This study not only improves the basis for preparation of high-performance TiO2humidity sensors, but also fills the research gap on rare earth Eu-doped TiO2as a humidity-sensitive material.

YVO 4 :Eu nanocrystalline phosphors were successfully prepared at 400 °C in equal moles of NaNO 3 and KNO 3 molten salts. NaOH concentration and annealing temperature played important roles in phase purity and crystallinity of the nanocrystallines, and the optimum NaOH concentration and annealing temperature were 6:40 and 400 °C, respectively. The nanocrystallines were well crystallized with a cubic morphology in an average grain size of 18 nm. Upon excitation of the vanadate groups at 314 nm, YVO 4 :Eu nanocrystallines exhibited the characteristic emission of Eu 3+ , which indicated that there was an energy transfer from vanadate groups to Eu 3+ . Moreover, the influence of superficial effect, especially the dangling bonds on the structure and luminescent properties of the nanocrystallines was discussed in detail.

To further promote the visible-light photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 , g-C 3 N 4 /Eu(III) doped Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 heterojunction composites (CN/Eu-BCO) were successfully synthesized via modified solution combustion and immersion-calcination method. The effects of Eu(III) dopants and g-C 3 N 4 coupling on the micro-structures and the photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 towards Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation were investigated in detail. The results displayed that Eu(III) doping and coupling with g-C 3 N 4 can largely promote the photocatalytic efficiency of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 . The photodegradation rate of RhB over 5CN/0.01Eu-BCO can reach to be 91.9% in 40 min, which was 8.46 folds of Bi 24 O 31 Cl 10 , 1.91 folds of 0.01Eu-BCO, and 1.72 folds of 5CN/BCO. The main radical species being responsible for RhB degradation were ● O 2 − and ● OH. Furthermore, 5CN/0.01Eu-BCO composite photocatalyst exhibited good reusability and stability.

Exhaled biomarker detection as a non-invasive and portable analytical method, holds great potential in the field of point-of-care testing. Acetone exhibited a higher concentration in the exhaled breath of diabetic patients compared to healthy individuals. Therefore, the development of a highly sensitive, easy-to-operate, and portable acetone detection technology can be utilized for the rapid screening of diabetes. A covalent organic framework Eu-COF was synthesized, and its fluorescence can be specifically quenched by acetone based on the mechanism of energy competition. A flexible Eu-COF-based fluorescent film was prepared using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the substrate and suited to a 3D printing device portable device for on-site rapid detection of acetone. The linearity of concentration was ranged from 0.2-8.0 mg/m3, with a detection limit of 0.1 mg/m3 (RSD=8.6%). The accuracy of the device was validated by comparison with the results of GC-MS. Based on F-Test, there were no significant differences between the results of portable device and GC-MS. The Eu-COF-based fluorescent film exhibited comparable response in humid environment as well. The detection device integrated sample collection and testing in one step and directly providing the concentration of acetone exhaled by the patient. It can serve as a rapid screening tool for point-of care, non-invasive diabetes detection.
