The twelve quaternary rare-earth selenides Ba2MLnSe5 (M = Ga, In; Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) have been synthesized for the first time. The compounds Ba2GaLnSe5 (Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) are isostructural and crystallize in a new structure type in the centrosymmetric space group P1̅ of the triclinic system while the isostructural compounds Ba2InLnSe5 (Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) belong to the Ba2BiInS5 structure type and crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group Cmc21 of the orthorhombic system. The structures contain infinite one-dimensional anionic chains 1∞[GaLnSe5]4– and 1∞[InLnSe5]4–, and both chains are built from LnSe6 octahedra and MSe4 (M = Ga, In) tetrahedra in the corresponding selenides. As deduced from the diffuse reflectance spectra, the band gaps of most Ba2MLnSe5 (M = Ga, In; Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er) compounds are around 2.2 eV. The magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ba2GaGdSe5 and Ba2InLnSe5 (Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, Er) indicate that they are paramagnetic and obey the Curie–Weiss law, while the magnetic susceptibility of Ba2InSmSe5 deviates from the Curie–Weiss law as a result of the crystal field splitting. Furthermore, Ba2InYSe5 exhibits a strong second harmonic generation response close to that of AgGaSe2, when probed with the 2090 nm laser as fundamental wavelength.

Recycling rare earth elements (REEs) from NdFeB magnets alleviates the growing demand for these resources and contributes to environmental protection. Phosphate groups are known for their high adsorption selectivity for rare and precious metals. In this study, a novel phosphorus-functionalized silicon-based adsorption material (PPA@APTES/SBA-15) was synthesized using poly (ethylene glycol)- block -poly (propylene glycol)- block -poly (ethylene glycol) copolymer (P123) as a template, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silicon source, (3-amino-propyl) trimethoxysilane (APTES) as a coupling agent, and phosphite ester as a functional ligand. This material was designed for the adsorption and separation of Nd and Dy from NdFeB leaching simulants. The batch experiments revealed that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 achieved equilibrium separation of Co and REEs within 10 s, with SF REE/Co ≥ 2018.76. The material exhibited near 100 % adsorption efficiency for Nd and Dy in 6 M HCl solution, along with excellent reusability. Notably, column experiments also demonstrated near complete adsorption efficiency for Nd and Dy. SEM-EDS, TEM, XRD, and N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms confirmed that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 possessed a uniform hexagonal mesoporous structure and a high specific surface area. TG-DSC analysis demonstrated that the organic loading of PPA@APTES/SBA-15 was 9 %. FT-IR, XPS, and DFT analysis suggested that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 bond metal ions via P OH (P O) groups.

Rare-earth ions doped Ca 0.9 R 0.1 CeNbMoO 8 ( R = Y, Sm, Nd, La) ceramics have been successfully prepared by solid-state method, and their modifications to the microstructure and electrical properties are also investigated. The rare-earth ions doped ceramics exhibit the scheelite structure. With the increase in the radius of rare-earth ions, the lattice distortion and bond interaction will be enhanced, and the consistency of grain size will be reduced. The ceramics exhibit negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor characteristics in the temperature range of 473 K-1273 K, and the activation energy decreases with the increase of the radius of rare-earth ions. Rare-earth ions doping can increase the content of Ce 3+ ions and promote the conductivity of ceramics. Except for Sm 3+ -doped ceramics, the high-temperature aging rate of other ceramics is less than 2%. The existence of some metastable Sm 2+ ions in Sm 3+ -doped ceramics not only increases the activation energy, but also reduces the high-temperature stability of the ceramics.

TiO 2 -added Ba 4 (Sm 0.65 Nd 0.35 ) 9.33 Ti 17.75 Al 0.33 O 54 (BSNTA) ceramics were fabricated with a solid-state reaction method. Slight TiO 2 addition increased the dielectric constant ( ε r ) of BSNTA ceramics and brought about a near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency ( τ f ). Sintering in oxygen increased the density of TiO 2 -added BSNTA ceramics and surprisingly concurrently improved the ε r and Q × f value. Thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements indicated that TiO 2 addition introduced oxygen vacancies ( V O .. ) and Ti Ti ' − V O .. defect dipoles and that an oxygen-sufficient sintering atmosphere decreased the concentration of these defects and thus increased Q × f values. From the viewpoint of defect behaviors, this observation offered original insight into the mechanism by which the sintering atmosphere had impacts on the Q × f value of titanate ceramics. Satisfying dielectric properties ( ε r = 79.5, Q × f = 14,840 GHz, τ f = 0 ppm/°C) were attained in oxygen-sintered BSNTA-0.6%TiO 2 ceramics that might be suitable for the manufacture of miniature microwave devices such as filters and antennas.

In this study, a series of (1- x )Sr 0.5 Zr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 - x (Ce 1-2 y Nd y Sm y )PO 4 (abbreviated as SrZP-(Ce, Nd, Sm)PO 4 , x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1; y = 0, 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, 4/12, 5/12, 6/12) dual-phase ceramic waste forms were fabricated through a one-step microwave sintering technique. The phase evolution, micromorphology, and densification behavior of these ceramics were systematically investigated using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, and density measurement. The results confirmed that the dual-phase ceramics exclusively consisted of SrZP and (Ce, Nd, Sm)PO 4 phases, which coexisted stably and independently, enabling simultaneously effective immobilization of simulated fission products (Sr 2+ ) and actinides radionuclides (Ce 3+ , Nd 3+ , and Sm 3+ ). The ceramics exhibited a homogeneous distribution of both phases, a compact micromorphology, and relative densities achieving a maximum of 98.9%. It was demonstrated that alterations in the phase content ( x value) induced only negligible variations in the lattice parameters of both crystalline phases, indicating minimal structural perturbations. Rietveld refinement analysis revealed a gradual reduction in the lattice parameters of the (Ce, Nd, Sm)PO 4 phase with increasing y value, consistent with the anticipated immobilization of the simulated actinide radionuclides. In addition, by integrating XRD and Raman analyses, the temperature-induced phase evolution of the representative sample SrZP-Ce 1/3 Nd 1/3 Sm 1/3 PO 4 was comprehensively characterized. The results indicated that the Ce 1/3 Nd 1/3 Sm 1/3 PO 4 phase preferentially formed over the SrZP phase during the dual-phase ceramic preparation. Furthermore, the Kissinger model based on TG-DSC results at various heating rates ( β T = 10, 15, 20, and 25 K/min) provided additional thermodynamic evidence, in which the Ce 1/3 Nd 1/3 Sm 1/3 PO 4 phase possessed a lower apparent activation energy (353.35 kJ/mol) than the SrZP phase (501.33 kJ/mol). Besides, the SrZP-Ce 1/3 Nd 1/3 Sm 1/3 PO 4 dual-phase ceramic waste form demonstrated high chemical stability, with normalized leaching rates of all elements remaining relatively low ( LR Sr ∼ 10 −4 g·m −2 ·d −1 , LR Ce ∼ 10 −7 g·m −2 ·d −1 , LR Nd ∼ 10 −7 g·m −2 ·d −1 , and LR Sm ∼ 10 −6 g·m −2 ·d −1 ).

Selective chlorination has been proven to be an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly method for recycling rare earth elements (REEs) from Nd-Fe-B waste. However, little attention has been paid to the in-depth study of Nd-Fe-B sludge chlorination until now. In this work, four isoconversion methods combined with an unreacted shrinkage core model were employed for the first time to investigate the kinetic behavior of the chlorination reaction between FeCl 3 and Nd-Fe-B sludge. Through thermodynamic calculations, TG-DSC, SEM-EDS, and XRD analysis, the chlorination process and phase transformation behavior of Nd-Fe-B sludge were elucidated. The results show that under optimal conditions (350 °C, FeCl 3 /RE=3:1, 2 h), the RE components in Nd-Fe-B sludge are selectively chlorinated to RECl 3 , avoiding the formation of REOCl, while the iron components primarily exist in the leaching residue as Fe 2 O 3 or FeOCl. And 97.32 % of REEs are selectively extracted into the leachate, while the iron leaching rate is only 4.02 %. Besides, the STA method is the most accurate, yielding E α-STA and A values of 75.01 kJ/mol and 2.6 × 10 6 min −1 , respectively. The reaction control mechanism was analyzed in three steps. In Step 1 (0.05 < α < 0.63) and Step 2 (0.63 < α < 0.75), the diffusion reaction mechanism controls the overall reaction, In Step 3 (0.75 < α < 0.95), the nucleation reaction takes over the control, which provides a good explanation for the change in E α-STA . However, the control step of the entire chlorination reaction is dominated by the internal diffusion process.

To explore the influence of the rare earth element neodymium (Nd) on the production of light olefins (C = 2 –C = 4 ) via high-temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (HTFT), a series of FeMn-based catalysts promoted with Nd and Na were synthesized using a combination of coprecipitation and incipient wetness impregnation techniques. These included Nd-modified FeMn x Nd ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.7, 1, and 2), FeMnNa, and FeMn0.7NdNa catalysts. The results indicate that Nd reduces catalyst particle size and increases the BET specific surface area. Nd enhances surface basicity, increases the electron density around Fe atoms, suppresses hydrogen adsorption, and promotes CO dissociative adsorption, thereby facilitating the formation of χ-Fe 5 C 2 and improving Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) activity. However, excessive Nd loading results in Nd deposition on the catalyst surface, which decreases the BET surface area, induces particle agglomeration and growth, and inhibits catalyst reduction and carburization. These effects collectively reduce the content of χ-Fe 5 C 2 and lead to inferior FTS performance. In contrast, the synergistic interaction of Nd–Na suppresses the formation of θ-Fe 3 C, prevents particle agglomeration, and enhances the content of χ-Fe 5 C 2 , thereby significantly increasing CO conversion and light olefin yield. The FeMn0.7NdNa catalyst achieves a light olefin yield of 412.1 g h −1 kg Cat −1 , markedly surpassing that of FeMn0.7Nd and FeMnNa. Nd doping optimizes FeMn catalyst structure and electron density, promoting active χ-Fe 5 C 2 formation for high-temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis to light olefins.

The NdFeB magnets are the most widely used permanent magnetic materials in the international arena, and the recovery of Nd(III) from the growing number of waste-NdFeB magnets is becoming increasingly crucial. In this study, a novel synergistic extractant consisting of bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphonic acid (Cyanex 272) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) is proposed for the recovery of Nd(III) from waste-NdFeB magnets. First, the influence of the ratio of the two extractants on the synergistic extraction coefficient was investigated. The coextraction coefficient ratio of the two extractants Cyanex 272 and 8-HQ was 1:1. The extraction behaviors under different conditions, such as the extractant concentration, aqueous phase pH (pH = 5), and oscillation time (1 min), were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the extraction efficiency reached 99.6 %. A chelating extraction mechanism was proposed on the basis of UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy methods. The excellent extraction efficiency was maintained after five cycles of extraction and stripping, indicating the potential for application in light and heavy rare earth separation processes. Overall, this study aims to provide a new economically viable method for the recovery of Nd(III) from waste-NdFeB magnets.

The early detection of lung cancer by breath analysis has attracted more and more attention. In this work, high-performance LnFeO 3 (Ln = Nd, Dy, Er) based isopropanol sensors were synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and UV–visible-near infrared absorption spectrometer were used to analyze the material phase composition, microstructure, and other physical properties. The sensing performance was tested by using a four-channel gas testing chamber. The sensors were tested with low concentrations of isopropanol at high humidity to simulate a real human exhaled breath environment. The low binding energy of the Ln-O bond makes it easy to have chemical reactions, which leads to excellent isopropanol sensing performance. Finally, the gas sensing mechanism of the LnFeO 3 sensor was discussed.

Distinguishing toxic gases among the various volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) is of significant practical value for atmospheric and environmental pollution monitoring, industrial monitoring, and even for medical diagnostics (where VSCs are indicators of diseases). The particular challenge lies in the detection and discrimination of sulfur-containing gases such as dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), methyl sulfide (DMS), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), and carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) is of value. Herein, single-phase perovskite-type LnFeO 3 nanoparticles were prepared by the citrate sol-gel method. Their gas sensing characteristics regard to the four typical VSCs were investigated. We found that the gas response of the p-type semiconductor LnFeO 3 gas sensors to the four typical VSCs are significantly different. In addition, the sensors offer high performance, good tolerance to environmental changes and long-term stability for detecting VSCs gas at an operating temperature of 210 °C. A new design of sensor array was realized by integrating a series of LnFeO 3 materials, which revealed excellent recognition ability for various VSCs, showing promise for real time monitoring.

To date, the white light lanthanide upconvertion consisting of RGB components usually originated from more than one type of emitter. Alternatively, Pr 3+ is a fascinating lanthanide ion featuring multiple visible emission bands, including RGB components that in principle enable Pr 3+ to emit white light. In this paper, we report, for the first time to our knowledge, white light upconversion through dual sensitization routes in Nd/Yb/Pr triply doped NaYF 4 microrods upon 800 nm excitation. It is found that the dual sensitization is more efficient than single sensitization for Pr 3+ upconversion. In addition, the temperature sensing behaviors of the proposed triply doped microrods are comparatively investigated using different emission bands. This work presents a novel white light emitting material upon 800 nm excitation, and further demonstrates the feasibility of multichannel thermometry using the proposed material.

The present study focused on the preparation, characterization, and application of cerium (Ce) and neodymium (Nd) co-doped lead (PbO 2 ) electrode, i.e., Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 3 /α-PbO 2 /Ce-Nd-β-PbO 2 . The electrochemical activities of the modified electrode were investigated and compared with those of Ce-PbO 2 , Nd-PbO 2 , and pure PbO 2 electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystal structure, and elemental states of the modified electrode. The Ce and Nd co-doped PbO 2 electrode had smaller crystal particles, more compact structure, and higher activity of electrocatalysis compared with the single-doped and undoped PbO 2 electrodes. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also utilized to study the electrochemical response of the modified electrodes. The results show that the prepared Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode has the highest O 2 evolution potential (OEP) and lowest charge transfer resistance, suggesting that it has the lower energy consumption than the other three kinds of electrodes. Electrochemical oxidation methyl orange (MO) as a model dye wastewater was studied to evaluate the potential applications of this modified electrode in environmental science. It was found that the Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode exhibited higher MO and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency than single-doped and pure PbO 2 electrodes.
