Femtosecond laser synthesis and processing of colloids offer a platform for novel nanomaterial synthesis and applications, advancing side by side with high-end material innovations. In this work, RE2(Ce0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Sn0.2Ti0.2)2O7 (RE = Sm, Eu, Er), one kind of A2B2O7-type (A = rare earth cation, B = tetravalent metallic cation) high-entropy oxide ceramic is chosen as the ablation target for colloid synthesis by femtosecond laser ablation in ethanol. Both surface structural and colloidal morphologies are analyzed to unveil the effects of photothermal (melting) and photomechanical (cracking) phenomena on colloid synthesis. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) jointly show that the synthesized nanomaterials in different sizes and shapes are mainly in the amorphous state, irrespective of the pristine samples’ composition. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping of as-prepared colloids indicates the emergence of elemental segregation, mainly occurring to small particles (mainly <10 nm); whereas for large particles, multiple elements are homogeneous, reflecting the high entropy characteristic of the samples. The discovery of a tailed nanostructure with elongated void embedment indicates special spallation dynamics containing void freezing or bubble capturing. Our findings may help to better understand the ablation dynamics relative to ceramics’ colloid formation. RE2(Ce0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Sn0.2Ti0.2)2O7 (RE = Sm, Eu, Er) are most frequently considered to be good candidates for next-generation thermal barrier coatings in the film form; downsizing the ceramic dimensions into nanoscale via laser synthesis in liquids may expand its widespread applications in various fields such as optics, photonics, environment, catalysis, and biomedicine.

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.

The aim of this paper is to present a novel negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor based on A 2 Zr 2 O 7 (A = Nd, Sm, Gd, Yb) zirconate ceramics with pyrochlore-type structure for high-temperature application. The zirconate ceramics were synthesized via a solid-state reaction method where rare-earth oxides and ZrO 2 were used as starting materials. The physical structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. It was confirmed that Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 and Sm 2 Zr 2 O 7 are pyrochlore phases, while Yb 2 Zr 2 O 7 and Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 are defect fluorite phases. The electrical property investigated by using resistance–temperature measurements demonstrated that the prepared A 2 Zr 2 O 7 zirconate ceramics exhibit a typical characteristic of NTC over a wide temperature range between 673 and 1273 K. Particularly, A 2 Zr 2 O 7 , in addition to having high activation energy to ensure better sensitivity, can still maintain higher resistivity under high-temperature environments. Furthermore, the resistivity of A 2 Zr 2 O 7 is almost independent of the change in oxygen partial pressure. These properties are superior to the classical spinel-type or perovskite-type NTC thermistor, providing valuable information to explore new NTC thermistor for high-temperature applications.

In this work, RENbO 4 (RE = Y, La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Yb) ceramics with low density, low Young's modulus, low thermal conductivity, and high thermal expansion have been systematically investigated, the excellent thermo-mechanical properties indicate that RENbO 4 ceramics possess the potential as the new generation of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) materials. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy phase structure identification reveal that all dense bulk specimens obtained by high-temperature solid-state reaction belonged to the monoclinic (m) phase with C12/c1 space group. The ferroelastic domains are detected in the specimens, revealing the ferroelastic transformation between tetragonal (t) and monoclinic (m) phases of RENbO 4 ceramics. The Young's modulus and hardness of the RENbO 4 ceramics measured by the NanoBlitz 3D nanoindentation method are discussed in details, and the lower Young's modulus (60-170 GPa) and higher hardness (the maximum value reaches 11.48 GPa) indicating that higher resistance of RENbO 4 ceramics to failure and damage. Lower thermal conductivity (1.42-2.21 W [m k] −1 at 500°C-900°C) and lower density (5.330-7.400 g/cm 3 ) than other typical TBCs materials give RENbO 4 ceramics the unique advantage of being new TBCs materials. Meanwhile, the thermal expansion coefficients of RENbO 4 ceramics reach 9.8-11.6 × 10 −6 k −1 and are comparable or higher than other typical TBCs materials. According to the first-order derivative of the thermal expansion rate, the temperature of the ferroelastic transformation of RENbO 4 ceramics can be observed.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are one of the most important materials in gas turbine to protect the high temperature components. RETa 3 O 9 compounds have a defect-perovskite structure, indicating that they have low thermal conductivity, which is the critical property of TBCs. Herein, dense RETa 3 O 9 bulk ceramics were fabricated via solid-state reaction. The crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscope. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the microstructure. The thermophysical properties of RETa 3 O 9 were studied systematically, including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficients, and high-temperature phase stability. The thermal conductivities of RETa 3 O 9 are very low (1.33-2.37 W/m·K, 373-1073 K), which are much lower than YSZ and La 2 Zr 2 O 7 ; and the thermal expansion coefficients range from 4.0 × 10 −6 K −1 to 10.2×10 −6 K −1 (1273 K), which is close to La 2 Zr 2 O 7 and YSZ. According to the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve there is not phase transition at the test temperature. Due to the high melting point and excellent high-temperature phase stability with these oxides, RETa 3 O 9 ceramics were promising candidate materials for TBCs.

Electrochromic capacitors are attracting a huge attention due to their dual functions in energy-saving and energy storage. Electrochromic and energy storage performance of the films could be effectively improved through regulating their physical phase and morphology. In the present work, the physical phase and morphology of the WO 3 nanofilms were regulated by doping RE ions (RE = Ce, Eu, Sm, Gd) using one-step hydrothermal technology. The three-dimensional (3D) urchin-like crystal WO 3 nanofilm would transfer into the 3D nest-like WO 3 (WO 3 -RE) nanofilms that consisted of crystal and amorphous phase by doping RE ions. Compared with the pure WO 3 nanofilm, the WO 3 -RE nanofilms exhibited higher optical contrast, faster switching speed, longer cyclic stability, and larger areal capacitance owing to faster ions transfer rate and more stable film structure. The optical contrast of WO 3 -Eu and WO 3 -Sm nanofilms were 76.3% and 73.8% at 633 nm, 75.5% and 74.6% at 900 nm wavelength, respectively. Notably, the WO 3 -Eu and WO 3 -Sm nanofilms could retain 99.6% and 99.1% of their original optical contrasts after 1000 cycles, respectively. Additionally, the areal capacitance of ECDs based on the WO 3 /PB, WO 3 -Ce/PB, WO 3 -Eu/PB, WO 3 -Sm/PB, and WO 3 -Gd/PB were 26.15, 49.27, 58.23, 71.46, and 79.52 mF/cm 2 at 0.3 mA/cm 2 , respectively. ECDs based on the WO 3 -RE/PB are promising for energy-saving and energy storage dual functional smart windows.

The primary objective of this study is to enhance the overall magnetic properties of pure barium ferrite through the addition of trace amounts of the light rare earth element Sm. This approach is more cost-effective compared to using heavy rare earth elements. The M-shaped barium ferrite, denoted as Ba 1− x Sm x Fe 12 O 19 , was synthesized using a combination of solid-phase sintering method and high-energy ball milling. The high purity of samples was confirmed by determining their crystal structure using XRD. The internal structure of samples was examined using FTIR, and it was observed that the samples contained tetrahedral and octahedral clusters with corresponding bands at 599 cm −1 and 445 cm −1 , respectively. The appearance of samples was examined using FESEM, and it was found that grains had hexagonal structures. EDS was used to characterize the elemental content of samples, and it was found that the content of Ba decreased with an increase in the content of Sm. The magnetic properties of samples were examined using VSM, and the coercivity reached a maximum value of 3096.22 Oe at a dopant fraction of 0.06, and the saturation magnetization reached a maximum value of 73.115 emu/g. The synthesized material has the potential for utilization in magnetic recording applications.

The multifunctional microspheres consisting of the magnetic γ-Fe2O3 core and the affinity REVO4 (RE = Sm, Dy, Ho) shell have been synthesized via the homogenous precipitation–calcination–ion exchange three-step synthetic route. Their morphologies, structures, surface properties, and magnetisms were characterized, respectively. SEM and TEM images indicate that they all have an average size of about 400 nm and very rough surfaces. The TEM images further reveal that the γ-Fe2O3@REVO4 microspheres are all core–shell structures and the REVO4 shells are about 55–60 nm in thickness. The XRD pattern analyses show that the magnetic γ-Fe2O3 cores belong to cubic structure and the REVO4 (RE = Sm, Dy, Ho) shells are composed of their corresponding tetragonal major phases. HRTEM images, FTIR spectra and EDS further demonstrate the formations of tetragonal REVO4 shells based on checkup of the corresponding lattice fringes, characteristic IR absorption peaks and element signals. Their potentials for selective capture, rapid separation, and convenient mass spectra (MS) labeling of the phosphopeptides from complex proteolytic digests are explored and evaluated for the first time. The experimental results show that the magnetic γ-Fe2O3@REVO4 core–shell structured microspheres have high selective affinity for the phosphopeptides. The trapped phosphopeptides can be rapidly isolated by an external magnetic field, and can be easily identified by characteristic MS signals from 80 Da mass losses in the mass spectra (MS). Additionally, the γ-Fe2O3@REVO4 affinity materials can be reused after recovery.

Polymeric rare earth complexes have attracted much attention due to their unique luminescence properties and application prospects. However, as an important component of polymeric rare earth complexes, Sm (III) complexes are rarely reported due to the lack of organic ligands matching the energy of Sm (III). Herein, A novel Sm(III) complexes (Sm(MPon) 3 APhen) emitting red fluorescence is synthesized by using Sm(III) as the central ion and 1-(4- tert -butylphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-propanone (MPon) and 5-amino-1,10-phenanroline (APhen) as ligands, respectively. Then, A novel waterborne polyurethane-based complex [Sm(MP) 3 AP] x -WPU with orange-red fluorescence is prepared by modified acetone method using Sm(MPon) 3 APhen as the end-blocking agent. Compared with Sm(MPon) 3 APhen, the fluorescence emission peak of [Sm(MP) 3 AP] x -WPU is blue-shifted, and the fluorescence intensity is significantly enhanced with the increase of the amount of Sm(MPon) 3 APhen. Notably, the strongest fluorescence emission peak of [Sm(MP) 3 AP] x -WPU is located in the red light band with the highest photosynthetic absorption efficiency of plants, which could significantly improve the light environment for plant growth and promote plant growth. More importantly, [Sm(MP) 3 AP] x -WPU is water as a dispersed phase, which is particularly safe and environmentally friendly during storage, transportation and use.

The homogeneously transparent hybrid gels (Ln–N–P-gel, Ln = Sm, Yb, Nd, Er, Pr, Ho, Tm) containing lanthanide complexes (by using dinaphthoylmethane (dnm) as the primary ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as the synergic ligand) via the in situ approach have been prepared. The dnm ligand was synthesized and adopted with the aim to sensitize the lanthanide ions with visible light. The properties of Ln–N–P-gels were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance (DR), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), fluorescence spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. The results reveal that the lanthanide complexes are successfully in situ synthesized in the corresponding Ln–N–P-gels. Under the excitation of visible-light, the Ln–N–P-gels showed the respective visible (Sm3+) and near-infrared (Sm3+, Yb3+, Nd3+, Er3+, Pr3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) luminescence. The near-infrared (NIR) luminescence of Sm3+, Pr3+, Ho3+, and Tm3+ complexes sensitized by visible-light had been rarely reported previously, which is highly desired for biomedical and photonics applications. Based on the relevant energy levels, a model was proposed to explain the visible-NIR luminescence of the Ln–N–P-gels based on the visible-light excitation.

A new Sm(III) coordination complex, [Sm(DHTA)4(H2O)3]n, was synthesized with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H2DHTA) as ligand. The crystal structure and properties were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, elemental analysis and TGA analysis. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that Sm(III) ion is nine-coordinate with six oxygen atoms of four DHTA ligands and three oxygen atoms of three H2O molecules, forming a tri-capped trigonal-prism configuration. The adjacent units of the complex are extended into a 3 D supramolecular network. In the IR spectrum of the complex, there are asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of C = O of the carboxyl group. The complex has two weight loss steps in the TG plot. The complex’s UV-Vis absorptions at 400 and 261 nm are attributed to the DHTA. Furthermore, there is a fluorescent maximum emission at 476 nm, which is derived from the ligand. The fluorescence is attributed to the ligand-ligand charge transfer of the complex.
