Separation of adjacent rare-earth elements, such as Pr and Nd, is extremely difficult due to the similarity in their physicochemical properties . Enhanced separation of adjacent rare-earth elements based on the “push-pull effect” by addition of water-soluble complexing agents was an effective strategy in traditional organic-aqueous two-phase extraction. However, environmental pollution is serious due to the residual of complexing agent in the extraction raffinates. In present work, a novel “external push-pull” extraction system, composed of three coexisting liquid phases, P507 organic phase, ionic liquid (tributyl-methyl ammonium nitrate , N 4441 NO 3 )-rich phase and NaNO 3 aqueous solutions, is suggested to improve the separation between Pr and Nd. It is revealed that Nd and Pr can be enriched respectively into the P507 organic top phase and N 4441 NO 3 -rich ionic liquid middle phase in the external push-pull extraction system, owing to a so-called “external push-pull effect” from a reversed extraction selectivity of P507 organic phase and N 4441 NO 3 ionic liquid-rich phase towards Nd and Pr, respectively. Compared to traditional organic-water two-phase systems, the separation factor of Pr to Nd in the suggested external push-pull extraction system could increase obviously to 3.5 or even more. Various effects from the aqueous pH, NaNO 3 concentration, the initial concentration ratios of Pr to Nd in feed aqueous solutions, and the addition amount of N 4441 NO 3 , the volume of P507 organic phase on the separation between Pr and Nd are discussed. In addition, reversal extraction of rare earth ions in the ionic liquid-rich phase is found to be closely related to the complexation behavior of rare earth ions with NO 3 − ions by using molecular dynamic simulations. Based on this work, a possibility for extraction and separation of 14 rare-earth element ions from their coexisting aqueous solutions using the suggested external push-pull extraction system is also explored. The present work highlights a novel green strategy for improving the separation of adjacent rare-earth elements.

Novel monoclinic Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Yb) based low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) systems with high sintering density and low microwave dielectric loss are synthesized by conventional solid state reaction technique. The structure and dielectric properties of Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 ceramics are investigated. Dense BiNdMoO 6 ceramics sintered at 900 °C for 8 h in air have a low dielectric constant ε r =~7.5, a high quality factor Q × f =~ 24, 800 GHz at 7.0 GHz, and τ f =~−16 ppm/̊C. Especially, good chemical compatibility of BiNdMoO 6 with Ag electrodes is represented as well. In contrast, BiSmMoO 6 ceramics sintered at 1000 °C for 8 h show enhanced Q×f =~43, 700 GHz at 7.8 GHz with ε r = ~8.5 and τ f = ~−27 ppm/°C. Bi 2 O 3 -xRE 2 O 3 -yMoO 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Yb) based ceramics could be considered as promising microwave ceramics for LTCC applications.

The synthesis of novel two-dimensional (2D) triangular frustrated compounds are important for providing various platforms to investigate exotic quantum magnetism. Here, we successfully synthesised a series of RE-based magnetic compounds Ba3BiPbREO(BO3)4 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy) with a geometrically-perfect 2D triangular lattice directed by triangular BO3 unit. These compounds stabilise 2D layered structures in the hexagonal (P63/mmc) crystal system, where magnetic ions are linked by BO3 to form a perfect triangular frustrated lattice. The magnetisation susceptibility results show that all synthesised compounds Ba3BiPbREO(BO3)4 exhibit dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions, with no long-range order (LRO) down to 2 K, which is further confirmed by specific heat measurements. Additionally, their thermal stability, attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and Ultraviolet−visible-near-infrared (UV−Vis−NIR) diffuse reflectance spectra are also reported. This work provides a series of RE-based magnetic compounds with a two-dimensional triangular frustrated lattice, offering novel model materials for further investigation on rare-earth-based frustrated magnetism.

In this study, four rare earth complexes, namely, [Gd(cpia)] n ( 1 ), [Er(cpia)] n ( 2 ), [Pr(cpna) 2 ·2H 2 O] n ( 3 ) and [Gd(Hcpna)(cpna)•3H 2 O] n ( 4 ) have been synthesized by solvothermal method based on 5-(2-carboxyphenoxy)isophthalic acid (H 3 cpia) and 5-(4-carboxyphenoxy)nicotinic acid ligand (H 2 cpna) with rare earth metal ions Pr 3+ , Gd 3+ and Er 3+ . Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that complexes 1 , 2 and 3 are two-dimensional network structure, 4 is one-dimensional chain structures. The fluorescence test results show that the fluorescence intensity of complexes 1 and 2 were lower than that of the H 3 cpia ligand, the fluorescence intensity of complexes 3 and 4 were lower than that of the H 2 cpna ligand. Magnetic results indicate complex 1 has ferromagentic behavior and weak antiferromagentic behavior in the complexes 2, 3 and 4 .

The integration of photocatalysis and thermal catalysis offers a sustainable route to drive the dry reforming of methane (DRM) at low temperatures, addressing the high energy consumption of traditional thermocatalytic processes. Herein, we systematically explore the effects of doping rare earth elements (Ce, Pr, and Y) on the photothermal catalytic activity and stability of Ni-based catalysts (Ni–MOx–Al2O3) for DRM. Results demonstrate that Ce doping significantly enhances charge carrier separation efficiency and reduces interfacial impedance, endowing Ni–Ce–Al with superior photocatalytic activity compared to Ni–Pr–Al and Ni–Y–Al catalysts. After 100 h of continuous reaction at 650 °C, the conversions of CH4 and CO2 only decrease from 59.0% and 62.0% to 52.6% and 56.8%, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal that Ce incorporation increases the density of surface oxygen vacancies, which promotes the activation of CH4 and CO2 and enhances coke resistance under light conditions. Kinetic analysis confirms that Ni–Ce–Al possesses the lowest activation energies for CH4 (40.6 kJ mol−1) and CO2 (36.7 kJ mol−1) dissociation under illumination. This work provides helpful guidance for the design of high-performance Ni-based photothermal catalysts for DRM through rare earth modification, highlighting the crucial role of Ce in optimizing electronic properties and anti-coking ability.

Plastic waste causes serious pollution to the environment. Being not satisfied with simply disposing of them into environment, people want to efficiently convert it into high-value products, such as H 2 and carbon nanotubes . A trimetallic catalyst is provided herein, which adds Pr, Ce, La or Yb to a Co-Fe bimetallic catalyst to inhibit the formation of oil by-product in a plastic pyrolysis reaction. In this work,various plastics，including plastics with different functional groups and real plastic waste were used for pyrolysis with elemental hydrogen efficiencies above 95% in the gas product. For pyrolysis of EVA, the gaseous hydrogen efficiency reached 96.07%, and for pyrolysis of LLDPE , the gaseous hydrogen efficiency reached 95.56%, over Pr 1 Co 1 Fe 8 O x catalyst. The role of Pr in catalytic reactions is discussed in general and the formation of carbon nanotubes of various types of structures is simulated. Catalyst cycling experiments demonstrate that the catalyst still maintains a gas hydrogen efficiency of more than 70% after being used four times. In conclusion, the Pr 1 Co 1 Fe 8 O x catalyst proved to be the best choice for microwave-assisted catalytic pyrolysis of plastics to H 2 , and this work provides a new perspect for the study of plastic pyrolysis.

This paper reports the syntheses of a series of polychromatic pigments with the general formula LiAl 1- x M x (MoO 4 ) 2 (M = Fe, Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, Ce; x = 0–0.4) and the characterization of near-infrared reflectance properties. The synthesized pigments exhibited green (Pr), lavender (Nd), pink (Er) and different yellows (Fe, Ho, Ce). The XRD patterns of typical LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4+δ ) 2 samples show that the prepared samples are triclinic lithium aluminum molybdate structures with space group P -1.The iron in the sample mainly existed in the form of Fe 3+ , which led to the directional growth of grains with different morphologies. The near-infrared solar reflectance (R*%) of LiAl 1- x Fe x (MoO 4 ) 2 pigments reached 94.19%. As the doping concentration of rare earth was increased, the color of the pigments gradually deepens. By introducing rare earth elements Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, and Ce into the LiAl(MoO 4 ) 2 matrix, the color of the pigment was successfully changed from white to green, lavender, pink, and yellow, indicating that doping can control the color of the pigment. Moreover, the prepared pigments had high R*% (>87%), indicating that the pigment samples have excellent thermal insulation properties and can be used as a new type of reflective thermal insulation coatings.

Experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) is a CD4 + T-cell–mediated autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the peripheral nervous system. It has been replicated in an animal model of human inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of a selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome subunit, low-MW polypeptide 7 (PR-957) in rats with EAN. Our results showed that PR-957 significantly delayed onset day, reduced severity and shortened duration of EAN, and alleviated demyelination and inflammatory infiltration in sciatic nerves. In addition to significantly regulating expression of the cytokine profile, PR-957 treatment down-regulated the proportion of proinflammatory T-helper (T h )17 cells in sciatic nerves and spleens of rats with EAN. Data presented show the role of PR-957 in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. PR-957 not only decreased expression of IL-6 and IL-23 but also led to down-regulation of STAT3 phosphorylation in CD4 + T cells. Regulation of the STAT3 pathway led to a reduction in retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor γ t and IL-17 production. Furthermore, reduction of STAT3 phosphorylation may have directly suppressed T h 17-cell differentiation. Therefore, our study demonstrates that PR-957 could potently alleviate inflammation in rats with EAN and that it may be a likely candidate for treating Guillain-Barré syndrome. —Liu, H., Wan, C., Ding, Y., Han, R., He, Y., Xiao, J., Hao, J. PR-957, a selective inhibitor of immunoproteasome subunit low-MW polypeptide 7, attenuates experimental autoimmune neuritis by suppressing T h 17-cell differentiation and regulating cytokine production.

Thermal insulation materials play an increasingly important role in protecting mechanical parts functioning at high temperatures. In this study, a new porous high-entropy (La 1/6 Ce 1/6 Pr 1/6 Sm 1/6 Eu 1/6 Gd 1/6 )PO 4 (HE (6RE 1/6 )PO 4 ) ceramics was prepared by combining the high-entropy method with the pore-forming agent method and the effect of different starch contents (0–60vol%) on this ceramic properties was systematically investigated. The results show that the porous HE (6RE 1/6 )PO 4 ceramics with 60vol% starch exhibit the lowest thermal conductivity of 0.061 W·m −1 ·K −1 at room temperature and good pore structure stability with a linear shrinkage of approximately 1.67%. Moreover, the effect of large regular spherical pores (>10 µm) on its thermal insulation performance was discussed, and an optimal thermal conductivity prediction model was screened. The superior properties of the prepared porous HE (6RE 1/6 )PO 4 ceramics allow them to be promising insulation materials in the future.

Green phosphor is an essential component in phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). Herein, a novel green-emitting phosphate phosphor Sr 8 ZnY(PO 4 ) 7 :Eu 2+ (SZYP:Eu 2+ ) was synthesized through hydrothermal reaction method. The crystal structure, photoluminescence properties as well as thermal stability of SZYP:Eu 2+ were investigated systematically. SZYP:Eu 2+ can be efficiently excited by n-UV light in the range from 220 to 550 nm and shows a broad emission band centered at 520 nm with a full width at half maximum of 86 nm. The optimized doping concentration of Eu 2+ was determined to be 0.02 mol. With the increase of Eu 2+ content, a subtle red shift about 4 nm in emission spectra was detected. SZYP:Eu 2+ also shows comparable thermal stability (45% at 150 °C) and it can be further varied to 44, 40 and 51% by co-doping with Pr 3+ , Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ , respectively. The white LED device blended with SZYP:Eu 2+ shows excellent electroluminescence (EL) properties. The low correlated color temperature (4791 K) and ultrahigh color rendering index (95.8) imply that this phosphor may find a potential application in high-quality white LEDs.

Developing X-ray charged dosimeters with excellent charge carrier storage capacity and stability is challenging. Such energy storage dosimeters have fascinating use in developing novel applications, for instance, in radiation detection, advanced multimode anti-counterfeiting, and flexible X-ray imaging of curved objects. Herein, novel LiTaO 3 :Ln 3+ ,Eu 3+ (Ln = Tb or Pr) perovskite dosimeters are reported by combining the vacuum referred binding energy (VRBE) diagram of LiTaO 3 and the optimization of dopant’s concentration and compound synthesis condition. Based on the VRBE diagram prediction, charge carrier capturing and de-trapping processes in Eu 3+ and/or Ln 3+ (Ln = Tb or Pr) doped LiTaO 3 will be studied to unravel the role of Eu 3+ as a good electron trapping centre and to discover a record storage phosphor. The ratios of the thermoluminescence intensity of the optimized LiTaO 3 :0.005Tb 3+ ,0.001Eu 3+ to that of the state-of-the-art BaFBr(I):Eu 2+ , Al 2 O 3 :C, or NaLuF 4 :Tb 3+ are 5.2, 8.8, or 2.8, respectively. The charge carriers can be stored more than 1000 h in LiTaO 3 :0.005Tb 3+ ,0.001Eu 3+ . Proof-of-concept anti-counterfeiting application will be demonstrated by combining the colour-tailorable photoluminescence, afterglow, thermally, or optically stimulated luminescence in LiTaO 3 :0.005Tb 3+ ,xEu 3+ and LiTaO 3 :0.005Pr 3+ ,0.001Eu 3+ . Multimode anti-counterfeiting application will be proposed by combining a high absolute X-ray scintillation light yield of 19000 ± 1800 ph/MeV of LiTaO 3 :0.005Tb 3+ ,0.001Eu 3+ . Proof-of-concept flexible X-ray imaging application will be demonstrated by using the optimized LiTaO 3 :0.005Tb 3+ , 0.001Eu 3+ dispersed in a silicone gel film.

Nickel (Ni)-based catalyst is widely adopted for tar removing in the process of biomass gasification. In order to improve low-temperature catalytic activity of Ni-based catalyst, three-dimensional ordered macro/mesoporous (3DOM/m) Ce 0.8 Zr 0.1 M 0.1 (M = Gd, Pr and La) ternary solid solutions were prepared and used as the carriers of Ni/Ce 0.8 Zr 0.1 M 0.1 catalysts. The obtained catalysts were employed to catalyze the steam reforming of toluene (SRT). The results demonstrated that all the Ni/Ce 0.8 Zr 0.1 M 0.1 showed excellent low-temperature catalytic activity and presented higher toluene conversion than Ni/Ce 0.8 Zr 0.2 . Among the catalysts, Ni/Ce 0.8 Zr 0.1 Pr 0.1 exhibited the highest toluene conversion, reaching 96.1% at 550 ℃ (toluene = 185 μmol min −1 , S/C = 3). The characterization results of catalysts showed that all the catalysts presented ordered three-dimensional morphology containing interconnected periodic macropores with abundant mesopores existing on the wall. The rare earth dopants were incorporated into the lattice of cerium-zirconium solid solution. As a result, the thermal stability of the carrier was improved, which made the BET specific surface area of the carrier increase and the dispersion of active component of Ni increase. Moreover, the incorporation of dopants produced more oxygen vacancies, thus improved reactive oxygen mobility. These superior properties of 3DOM/m Ce 0.8 Zr 0.1 M 0.1 led to their excellent catalytic activity in SRT. Graphical Abstract
