Rare earths RE's (Pr, Y, Gd, Ho, Yb) substituted MnZn spinel ferrites with composition of Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 M 0.02 Fe 1.98 O 4 (M = Pr, Y, Gd, Ho, Yb) are prepared by sol gel combustion approach. Low sintering temperature (500 °C) is used to sinter the RE's doped MnZn samples. MnZn samples are further characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to measure the cubic crystalline structure, particle size, morphology, porosity and grain size. Cubic crystalline phase of prepared RE's doped MnZn ferrites is confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology, porosity and grain size are observed using FESEM. The magnetic properties of RE's doped MnZn nanoferrites are analyzed by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Coercivity (H c ), remanence (M r ) and saturation magnetization (M s ) are calculated from the magnetic loops. The saturation and remanence of the nanoferrites are increased by the substitution of RE's metal ions and varies from 14.76 to 26.36 emu/g and 9.98–22.48 emu/g respectively. Bohr magneton and anisotropy constant are calculated from the recorded magnetic data. The conductive analysis of the prepared samples is studied at 40 °C −300 °C temperature, leading to the conductivity measurements from 1.12 × 10 -2 Ω -1 -cm -1 to 9.52 × 10 -2 Ω -1 -cm -1 . UV–Vis spectroscopy is used to determine the semi conducting nature of RE's doped MnZn spinel ferrite samples. The magnetic, conductive and optical study of the RE's doped MnZn nanoferrites sintered at low temperature suggests the use of these materials for microwave absorption, supercapacitor , lithium ion batteries and nanoelectronics industrial applications.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by inflammation, is a severe pulmonary condition of preterm infants. This study aimed to investigate the role of secreted frizzled related protein 2 (SFRP2) in BPD and to elucidated its underlying mechanisms, focusing on inflammation, apoptosis, and the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In vivo neonatal mouse models and in vitro murine lung epithelial-12 (MLE-12) models were established by hyperoxia induction. Administration of recombinant SFRP2 (rSFRP2) aggravated hyperoxia-induced lung injury, reduced alveolation, and increased inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in both lung tissues and cells (all P < 0.05). This demonstrated that SFRP2 aggravated hyperoxia-induced inflammation. These results were also evidenced by elevated numbers of inflammatory cells in the BALF and increasing counts of MAC-3 positive cells in the lung tissues of rSFRP2-treated BPD mice (all P < 0.05). rSFRP2 treatment promoted hyperoxia-induced apoptosis of lung tissue in mice and MLE-12 cells, reflected in increased count of TUNEL-positive cells. The Nrf2/HO-1 pathway was inhibited in the lung tissues of mice and MLE-12 cells after hyperoxia induction, and rSFRP2 therapy further suppressed its activity. Rescue experiments demonstrated that the activation of Nrf2 expression mitigated rSFRP2-induced inflammation and apoptosis in MLE-12 cells. Mechanically, SFRP2 promoted competitive binding of BACH1 to the ARE sequence of HO-1, impaired Nrf2 binding, and suppressed antioxidant signaling. We concluded that SFRP2 might exacerbate lung inflammation and apoptosis by inhibiting the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, thus promoting the progression of BPD.

A new methodology to fabricate the compatibilizer for PLA/PBAT blends through ring-opening polymerization of lactide using hydroxyl-terminated PBAT (HO-PBAT-OH) as macro-initiator in a high-shear reactor was developed. The modified polylactic acid (PLA-b) with weight-average molecular weights ( M w ) in the range of 1.42 × 10 5 to 2.96 × 10 5 Da were synthesized using 1%∼4% content of HO-PBAT-OH with M w of 4.86 × 10 5 Da. FTIR and NMR spectroscopy confirmed the covalent attachment of PBAT segments to the PLA backbone through ester linkages, establishing a well-defined block architecture. This block structure substantially improved the interfacial compatibility between PLA-b and PBAT, as evidenced by a refined morphology with reduced PBAT domain sizes and enhanced interfacial adhesion. DSC and DMA revealed a convergence of the glass transition temperatures ( T g ) of the two constituent polymers, indicating the improved miscibility. Rheological measurement also confirmed the improvement of miscibility through presenting a more coherent viscoelastic response. Notably, PLA-b/PBAT blends at a 70/30 wt% ratio exhibited a superior balance of mechanical properties compared to a conventional PLA/PBAT physical blend of the same composition, delivering a tensile strength of 42.6 MPa, an exceptional elongation at break of 280% and impact strength of 28.11 kJ/m 2 . This approach provides a simple and economically viable route to high-performance PLA/PBAT blends with an optimized combination of strength and ductility.

This study synthesizes single-phase high-entropy rare-earth chromates (M 0.2 La 0.2 Eu 0.2 Nd 0.2 Gd 0.2 )CrO 3 (M = Dy, Ho, Er) (HE-RECs) via a solid-state reaction guided by a high-entropy strategy. Their crystal structure, microstructure and magnetic properties are systematically investigated. Results show that all samples crystallize into a dense, single orthorhombic perovskite phase (space group Pbnm ) after sintering at 1350 °C for 48 h. Chemical disorder and local lattice distortion at A-site induce lattice strain and Cr 3+ /Cr 6+ mixed-valence states, forming a unique local structure. This structure effectively modulates the Cr 3+ -O 2- -Cr 3+ super-exchange/Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, as well as the f - d coupling between rare-earth ions and the Cr 3+ sublattice by altering CrO 6 octahedral connectivity. Dy-LENGCO exhibits the best total magnetic characteristics: The highest Curie temperature ( T C = 90.65K), the highest saturation magnetism ( M s = 61.44 emu/g) and the best coercivity ( H c = 310.08 Oe). This benefit is related to the high intrinsic magnetic moment of Dy 3+ ions and its magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which allow the effective pinning of domain walls within the distorted lattice. The high coercivity ( H c ) of Dy-LENGCO suppresses the reversal of magnetic moments from thermal fluctuations. This property enables long-term data storage at elevated temperatures, positioning the samples as a candidate for next-generation storage media.

The thulium and holmium co-doped lutetium aluminum garnet (Tm,Ho:LuAG) ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1760 °C for 10 h. The raw powders free of sintering aids were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The phase composition, crystalline behaviors, and morphology of the powders calcined at different temperatures were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy . Well-dispersed Tm,Ho:LuAG powders with the primary particle size of 80 nm were obtained by calcinations at 1200 °C for 2 h in the muffle furnace. The influence of agglomeration state of starting powder on densification and microstructure of Tm,Ho:LuAG ceramic was explored. The in-line transmittance of Tm,Ho:LuAG ceramic with the thickness of 1 mm reached 83.0% and the corresponding optical attenuation coefficient was about 0.013 mm −1 at 2500 nm. The average grain size of the Tm,Ho:LuAG ceramic was about 1.7 μm. It is promising that the Tm,Ho:LuAG optical ceramic would be a suitable candidate to realize lasers output at 2.1 μm.

The synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of Ba 3 REB 9 O 18 (RE = Dy-Yb) compounds were investigated. Rietveld Refinement of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data confirms that all compounds crystallize in a hexagonal Ba 3 YB 9 O 18 -type structure with space group P 6 3 /m (No. 176) and Pearson symbol hP 62. The lattice parameters a and c increase linearly with the increasing ionic radii of the RE 3+ ions. RE 3+ ions form two-dimensional triangular layers in the ab plane, which are separated by non-magnetic Ba/B-O polyhedra. The magnetic susceptibility measurement reveals no long-range magnetic order or spin glass behavior in any of the compounds above 2 K. The negative Curie-Weiss temperatures indicate dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) exchange interactions between the RE 3+ ions. The combination of triangular lattice and antiferromagnetic interaction suggests this family of compounds is a promising system for researching magnetic frustration.

We systematically study the crystal structure, magnetism and cryogenic magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in heavy rare-earth RE 6 MoO 12 ( RE = Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er) compounds. All RE 6 MoO 12 compounds belong to a cubic structure (space group: F m 3 − m ). Meanwhile, magnetic measurements illustrate that RE 6 MoO 12 compounds exhibit an antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transition. It is proved by the slope of the basic Arrott-plots that all compounds undergo second-order magnetic phase transition (SOMT). In addition, under the applied magnetic change ΔH = 7 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change (-∆ S M max ) near Néel temperature ( T N ) is evaluated to be 12.9, 20.7, 21.1, and 21.2 J/kg K, and relative cooling power ( RCP ) is evaluated to be 308.3, 473.9, 506.2, and 381.4 J/kg for Tb 6 MoO 12 , Dy 6 MoO 12 , Ho 6 MoO 12 , and Er 6 MoO 12 , respectively. Consequently, our study underscores the magnetism and magnetocaloric effect properties exhibited by heavy rare-earth RE 6 MoO 12 compounds family, positioning them as a potential magnetic refrigerant in the field of low-temperature magnetic refrigeration.

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a ubiquitous persistent micropollutant in water. This study evaluated the degradation of CBZ by UV/Chlorine process. The influencing factors, such as chlorine dosage, solution pH, and water matrix constituents (Cl − , HCO 3 – and NOM) on CBZ removal were systematically investigated. The reactive HO•, Cl• and ClO• species were mainly responsible for the degradation of CBZ, and their contributions determined by probes (Benzoic acid, Nitrobenzene and 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene) varied with pH. Theoretical quantum calculations involving a total of 79 transition states suggested that HO• attack CBZ by hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and radical adduct formation (RAF) mechanisms, while Cl• and ClO• proceed mainly through HAT and RAF mechanism, respectively. The reaction rates between CBZ and free radicals were calculated by evaluating the energy barriers and transition states. Furthermore, the proposed formation pathways and reaction mechanisms of main hydroxylated products and chlorine substituted products were unequivocally authenticated by transition states calculations. Overall, this study combined experimental and computational approaches to provide an in-depth degradation mechanism of CBZ in UV/Chlorine process.

Garnet-type Li 6 Ca(La 0.97 Yb 0.02 RE 0.01 ) 2 Nb 2 O 12 (RE = Ho, Er, Tm) new phosphors were successfully synthesized via solid reaction at 900°C for 5 hours, whose course of phase evolution, macroscopic/local crystal structure and up-/down-conversion (UC/DC) photoluminescence were clarified. Mechanistic study and materials characterization were attained via XRD, Rietveld refinement, DTA/TG, electron microscopy (FE-SEM/TEM), and Raman/reflectance/fluorescence spectroscopies. The phosphors were shown to exhibit UC luminescence dominated by a ~ 553 nm green band ( 5 F 4 / 5 S 2 → 5 I 8 transition) for Ho 3+ , a ~ 568 nm green band ( 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition) for Er 3+ and a ~ 806 nm near-infrared band ( 3 H 4 → 3 H 6 transition) for Tm 3+ under 978 nm laser excitation, with CIE chromaticity coordinates of around (0.31, 0.68), (0.38, 0.60) and (0.17, 0.24), respectively. Analysis of the pump-power dependence of UC intensity indicated that all the emissions involve a two-photon mechanism except for the ~ 486 nm blue emission of Tm 3+ ( 1 G 4 → 3 H 6 ), which requires a three-photon process. The DC luminescence of these phosphors is featured by dominant bands at ~ 553 nm for Ho 3+ (green, 5 F 4 / 5 S 2 → 5 I 8 transition), ~568 nm for Er 3+ (green, 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition) and ~ 464 nm for Tm 3+ (blue, 1 D 2 → 3 F 4 transition). The UC and DC properties were also comparatively discussed.

Viologen-encapsulated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant interest owing to their responsiveness to multiple external stimuli, which enhances their potential applications in sensing and environmental monitoring. Here, we synthesized the novel viologen-encapsulated Ho-MOF material (pbpy)·[Ho2(NH2–BDC)4(H2O)]·3H2O (complex 1) via an in situ method using 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH2–H2BDC) and the viologen derivative dichloro-1,1′-(1,4-benzylidene)-di(4,4′-bipyridine) (pbpy·2Cl), along with the control material [Ho4(NH2–BDC)5(DMA)2(μ3-OH)2]·3H2O (complex 2) without a viologen for comparison. Complex 1 exhibited dual detection capability for Th(IV) and nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), demonstrating significant advantages in sensing performance compared to complex 2. These results highlight the critical role of viologen incorporation in improving sensor functionality. Moreover, we prepared a MOF-based PVDF composite film material capable of rapidly detecting Th(IV) and NACs, demonstrating potential for practical sensing applications. In addition, thanks to the presence of a viologen inside the channels, complex 1 could achieve rapid and visual detection of N2H4·H2O. EPR results indicate that the color change is due to the generation of viologen radicals. These properties make the material a promising candidate for multianalyte detection, advancing the development of multistimulus responsive materials.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a significant burden on human health, and the elucidation of the mechanism by which it develops has potential for the prevention and treatment of UC. It has been reported that acteoside (ACT) exhibits strong anti‑inflammatory activity. In the present study, it was hypothesized that ACT may exert a protective effect against UC. The effects of ACT on inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis were evaluated using dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)‑treated mice and DSS‑treated human colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco‑2 cells, which have an epithelial morphology. The results demonstrated that the ACT‑treated mice with DSS‑induced UC exhibited significantly reduced colon inflammation, as demonstrated by a reversal in body weight loss, colon shortening, disease activity index score, inflammation, oxidative stress and colonic barrier dysfunction. Further in vivo experiments demonstrated that ACT inhibited DSS‑induced apoptosis in colon tissues, as demonstrated by the results of the TUNEL assay and the altered protein expression levels of Bax, cleaved caspase‑3 and Bcl‑2. Furthermore, DSS significantly stimulated the protein expression levels of high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), which serves a central role in the initiation and progression of UC, an effect which was markedly inhibited by ACT. Finally, DSS significantly decreased the protein expression levels of heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) in colon tissues and the effect of ACT on GSH, apoptotic proteins and HMGB1 was markedly attenuated in the presence of the HO‑1 inhibitor tin protoporphyrin. In conclusion, ACT ameliorated colon inflammation through HMGB1 inhibition in a HO‑1‑dependent manner.
