Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a potent greenhouse gas with high global warming potential. It is urgent to develop active and stabile catalysts for N 2 O direct catalytic decomposition (deN 2 O) in industrial exhaust gas. In this study, a series of Eu-doped NiO catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The catalyst with an Eu to Ni molar ratio of 0.04 showed the highest deN 2 O ability, reaching 100 % conversion at 400 °C without generating NO x by-products. The catalyst also displayed resilience against O 2 and NO impurity gases, maintaining structural stability and achieving complete transformation of N 2 O at 440 °C. Eu was uniformly dispersed in NiO in the form of Eu 2 O 3 , which not only regulated the particle size and specific surface area of NiO, but also changed the surface chemistry of NiO by inducing more Ni 2+ active sites and more mobile O β species. Eu-doping altered the decomposition mechanism of N 2 O from L-H to E-R mechanism, reducing the energy barrier of O 2 desorption, which was the rate-determining step. During the reaction, Eu 0.04 Ni showed an activation behavior after cyclic use and long-term reaction and reduced T 100 to 320 °C after 14-hr experiment. These findings demonstrate the potential of the catalyst for practical application and provide new routes for the direct decomposition of N 2 O in industrial exhaust gas.

Due to the quantum confinement effect, the quantum dots (QDs) behave distinguished photo-/electro-luminescence property. However, due to so small size with 3–5 nm diameter, their surface defects cause spectral limitation and luminescent instabilities, which inhibited the applications of QDs in key areas. It should be very interesting if rich luminescence spectra of lanthanides can be used to enhance the emission and to extend the spectra of sulfide-base QDs. However, the sulfur repellency of lanthanide ions (such as Eu 3+ ) is the negative factor. In this work, we incorporated lanthanide ions (Eu 3+ ) complexes into QDs to realize this. Diketone (i.e., acetylacetone (ACAC)) and phenanthroline (Phen) were chosen as the ligands of Eu 3+ (i.e., Eu) chlorides. The experimental data indicated that the incorporating Eu 3+ complexes into the ZnS-modified CIZS QDs resulted in double enhancement of the luminescent intensity, the blue-shift of emission wavelength from 637 to 575 nm, the PLQY increase from 55.94 % to 81.56 %. Simultaneously, the Zn 2+ in the shell, under the influence of the Eu 3+ , reacted with oxygen vacancies in the environment. XRD shows the characteristic peaks of ZnO, indicating the formation of ZnO QDs.

In this paper, a series of Eu-doped ZnSnO 3 nanoblocks are prepared through one-step hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology of Eu-ZnSnO 3 nanoblocks are characterised using SEM,XRD, XPS and TEM tests. The gas-sensitive properties of Eu-ZnSnO 3 nanoblocks towards isopropanol are explored. Compared with pure ZnSnO 3 , the response of 4 % Eu-ZnSnO 3 sensor is enhanced nearly three times. The response recovery time was greatly improved by Eu doping, and the 4 % Eu-ZnSnO 3 sensor showed a recovery time of only 8/10s for 100 ppm isopropanol at 260 °C, which is a 2.9-fold reduction in recovery time. The catalytic effect of Eu and n-n heterojunction structure of Eu 2 O 3 -ZnSnO 3 all contribute to enhance the gas response. The results prove that the Eu-ZnSnO 3 nanoblocks have great potential for the detection of isopropanol.

Tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) nanoparticles were prepared by the citric acid method, using ammonium paratungstate as the tungsten source, and doped with rare earth europium (Eu) under various pH values and Eu content. The microstructure, morphology, and luminescence properties of the prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and a fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that Eu 3+ doped WO 3 nanoparticles were successfully obtained by the citric acid method, the prepared nanoparticles were spherical and rhomboidal, and the average particle size of the prepared samples reached 56 nm. The excitation spectrum consisted of a series of linear excitation peaks in the range of 250–550 nm. The strongest excitation peak was located at 543 nm, which belongs to the 7 F 0 → 5 D 1 transition of Eu 3+ .

Lincomycin (LCM) has low ultraviolet (UV) absorption and thus, its determination requires complex instrumentation. Herein, a novel fluorometric probe based on an europium metal–organic framework coated with molecularly imprinted polymers (Eu(BTC)-MIP) was fabricated for the selective determination of LCM. First, highly luminescent Eu(BTC) was synthesized at room temperature. Then, through a simple co-polymerization process, MIPs were formed on the Eu(BTC) surface in the presence of LCM as template molecules to obtain Eu(BTC)-MIP. Eu(BTC) acted as a supporting substrate and antenna, and the MIP layer provided specific binding sites for LCM. Due to the advantages of both Eu(BTC) and MIPs, the probe had a long emission lifetime, strong fluorescence and specific recognition. Under the optimized conditions, the probe achieved the selective determination of LCM in the concentration range of 10 to 100 μg L−1 with a detection limit (LOD) of 7.18 μg L−1 (S/N = 3). This method is attractive because of its low cost, good selectivity, ready availability and simple manipulation without the need for complex instrumentation. Furthermore, the probe was successfully employed to detect LCM in egg samples with a recovery in the range of 88.02% to 97.29% and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 3.46%. The satisfactory results demonstrate that the proposed probe based on Eu(BTC)-MIP can be used for the quantitative analysis of LCM and exhibits great potential for LCM determination in food samples. Also this study provides a new perspective for the determination of weak ultraviolet absorption or non-fluorescent substances without conjugated groups.

Luminescent hybrid materials based on nanodiamonds (NDs) and rare earth ions have been successfully synthesized by covalently modifying NDs with pyromellitic acid (PMA) which is capable of coordinating to Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions. With NDs acting as a host matrix, the PMA and rare earth ions serve as an organic sensitizer and activator, respectively, yielding a highly bright hybrid composite. Interestingly, for the co-doped hybrid composites ND-PMA-Eu/Tb, the intensity ratio of the two emissions, 5D4 → 7F5 transition (Tb3+) to 5D0 → 7F2 transition (Eu3+), is linearly related to temperature in the range from 77 K to 277 K. Therefore, the hybrid could be developed as a self-calibrated ratiometric luminescent thermometer due to its temperature-dependent luminescence performance.

Water contamination caused by heavy metals represents an urgent global issue. Cu 2+ , a potential trace heavy metal pollutant, can accumulate in the human body through the food chain, leading to excessive levels that give rise to diverse health complications. Hence, in this investigation, a novel and efficacious fluorescent probe named Eu-BTB was developed for the detection of Cu 2+ , employing 1,3,5-triphenyl(4-carboxyphenyl) (H 3 BTB) as the ligand and Eu 3+ as the metallic framework. The probe demonstrates exceptional fluorescence characteristics. The interaction between the probe ligand BTB and Eu 3+ triggers an antenna effect, heightening the emission efficiency of Eu 3+ while preserving its intrinsic emission. The introduction of Cu 2+ competes with BTB for binding, thus quelling the antenna effect and inducing a fluorescence alteration. Within the concentration range of 0.05–10 μM, the fluorescence intensity-to-Cu 2+ concentration ratio exhibits a robust linear correlation, with a remarkably low detection limit of 10 nM and a rapid response time of 3 min. The fluorescent probe has been effectively deployed for the detection of copper ions in water across diverse environmental conditions, with the obtained outcomes being validated via the conventional approach of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Eu-BTB probe showcases the advantages of simplicity, swiftness, and broad applicability, thus affirming its potential for the prompt and accurate detection of Cu 2+ in diverse environmental water samples.

In this study, a novel red fluorescent materials were prepared by incorporating Eu/PVP/TPPO complexes into PAN substrates. An Eu/PVP/TPPO complex was synthesized by introducing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) into a mixture of europium (Eu) and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO). Using a spin-coating technique, highly efficient and thermally stable Eu/PVP/TPPO/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fluorescent films were prepared. The molecular interactions , surface morphology , functional groups, and elements of the Eu/PVP/TPPO/PAN fluorescent films were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, UV–Vis, and EDS analysis. The thermal stability, fluorescent properties, and chromaticity of the films were also systematically investigated. The results showed that the Eu/PVP/TPPO complex could disperse uniformly in the substrate, and the fluorescent films could emit homogeneous red light. Furthermore, the Eu/PVP/TPPO/PAN fluorescent films had a strong synergistic effect, which increased the fluorescence intensity and produced a purer red light. Based on these findings, a new type of redlight LED device was fabricated by one-step method. Due to its outstanding properties, this film has great potential in the next generation of lighting and display applications.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential as a new platform for developing solid-state light-emitting temperature probes . Herein, we synthesized Eu-BTC (MOFs) with controllable nanowire and nanorod morphologies by changing solvents. Eu-BTC Nanowire was produced from DMF with a size of 15 µm and a 21.5 % photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), while the nanorods from H 2 O yielded with a size of 200 nm (PLQY=17.4 %). The Eu-BTC materials exhibited highly variable temperature properties depending on the morphology. Eu-BTC Nanowire from DMF presented better temperature dependence as a highly sensitive temperature probe owing to its higher linearity and more excellent temperature-dependent reversibility , which further demonstrated its potential for application as a temperature probe. While, the Eu-BTC nanorod from H 2 O showed a non-linear relationship with temperature and low temperature-dependent reversibility , making it unsuitable as a temperature probe. The morphologies-dependent luminescence sensing mechanism of Eu-BTCs and the heat conduction induced by surface defects mechanism were proposed. This work provides theoretical guidance for developing highly sensitive and non-contact temperature probes , especially for the morphology-dependent temperature probes.

Aqueous flow batteries (AFBs) are among the most promising electrochemical energy storage solutions for the massive-scale adoption of renewable electricity because of decoupled energy and power, design flexibility, improved safety and low cost. The development of high-voltage AFB is, however, limited by the lack of stable anolytes that have low redox potential. Here we report Eu-based anolytes for high-voltage pH-neutral AFB applications. Eu 3+ has a reduction potential of −0.39 V vs. SHE, which can be dramatically lowered when forming stable complex with inexpensive organic chelates. A typical complex, EuDTPA, features a low redox potential of −1.09 V vs. SHE, fast redox kinetics, and a high water solubility of 1.5 M. When paired with ferrocyanide, the battery had an open-circuit voltage of 1.56 V and demonstrated stable cell cycling performance, including a capacity retention rate of 99.997% per cycle over 500 cycles at 40 mA cm −2 , a current efficiency of >99.9%, and an energy efficiency of >83.3%. A high concentration anolyte at 1.5 M exhibited a volumetric capacity of 40.2 Ah L −1 , which is one of the highest known for pH-neutral AFBs, promising a potent solution for the grid-scale storage of renewable electricity.

The dual-mode emission and multicolor outputs in the time domain from core-shell microcrystals are presented. The core-shell microcrystals, with NaYF4:Yb/Er as the core and NaYF4:Ce/Tb/Eu as the shell, were successfully fabricated by employing the hydrothermal method, which confines the activator ions into a separate region and minimizes the effect of surface quenching. The material is capable of both upconversion and downshifting emission, and their multicolor outputs in response to 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation laser and 252 nm, and 395 nm ultraviolet (UV) excitation light have been investigated. Furthermore, the tunable color emissions by controlling the Tb3+-Eu3+ratio in shells and the energy transfer of Ce3+→Tb3+→Eu3+were discussed in details. In addition, color tuning of core-shell-structured microrods from green to red region in the time domain could be obtained by setting suitable delay time. Due to downshifting multicolor outputs (time-resolved and pump-wavelength-induced downshifting) coupled with the upconversion mode, the core-shell microrods can be potentially applied to displays and high-level security.Keywords:NaYF4:Yb/Er@NaYF4:Ce/Tb/Eu microrods;dual-mode emission;time-resolved emission spectra;multicolor emission

Graphical Eu/g-C 3 N 4 composites were prepared and the optimum elemental doping ratio was proved experimentally. The good photocatalytic activity of the composites was determined by the degradation rate of antibiotic drugs under visible light irradiation and explore its photocatalytic mechanism. Graphene-like materials were prepared by thermal copolymerization using melamine as a precursor, and chemical methods successfully synthesized Eu/g-C 3 N 4 composites containing different europium elements. Degradation rates of 64.3 %, 91.9 %, and 72.8 % were observed in the photocatalytic degradation of Pefloxacin, Enrofloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin under visible light (λ>550 nm). Determine the photocatalytic activity of the composite. When the doping amount was Eu/g-C 3 N 4 -2 with k=0.0135 min −1 , four times greater than that of g-C 3 N 4 , the best photocatalytic effect was obtained. Repeated studies revealed that the Eu/g-C 3 N 4 composite samples had good cycle stability, and a potential degradation process was postulated.
