A series of garnet-type Li 6 CaLa 2(1- x ) Nb 2 O 12 : x RE phosphors (LCLN: x RE, RE = Pr, Sm, Tb and Dy) were prepared via sol-gel processing and subsequent calcination for the first time, with the course of phase evolution and the characteristics of the LCLN host and RE 3+ luminescence being investigated in detail. It was found that ∼900–1000 °C is a suitable temperature for precursor calcination to produce the garnet phase and LCLN has a relatively low phonon energy (∼725 cm −1 ) and a relatively wide bandgap (∼4.53 eV) for luminescence. The LCLN:0.012Pr, LCLN:0.04Sm, LCLN:0.06 Tb and LCLN:0.06Dy typical phosphors were analyzed to have dominant excitation/emission bands at ∼278/489, 265/614, 268/549 and 264/581 nm, emission colors of white, orange, green and yellowish white, and fluorescence lifetimes of ∼0.43, 0.74, 0.90 and 0.44 ms, respectively. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence found that the four phosphors maintained ∼28, 37, 45 and 56% of their room-temperature intensities at 423 K, with activation energies for thermal quenching of ∼0.37, 0.29, 0.34 and 0.25 eV, respectively. The results demonstrated that the Li-stuffed LCLN garnet could be a suitable host for UV excitable multicolor phosphors.

Three nonlinear optical materials Cd4REO(BO3)3 (RE = Sm, Eu, Tb) have been synthesized through high-temperature solid-state reactions. In their crystal structures, Cd(1)O8 and Cd(2)O6 polyhedra are interconnected via sharing edges and corners into a 3D anion framework with two types of tunnels based on 4- and 7-membered rings; the BO3 groups are grafted into the above-mentioned types, creating new tunnels based on Cd4B3 seven-membered rings, which are filled by RE3+ cations. Powder SHG measurements revealed that the Cd4REO(BO3)3 (RE = Sm, Eu, Tb) samples display SHG signals that are approximately 1.2, 5.6 and 1.5 times that of the KDP sample. In addition, Cd4EuO(BO3)3 and Cd4TbO(BO3)3 emit red and green light, respectively. The lifetime of the Eu(5D0) state for λex,em = 464, 610 nm in Cd4EuO(BO3)3 is measured to be about 1.43 ms whereas the lifetime of the Tb(5D4) state for λex,em = 376, 543 nm in Cd4TbO(BO3)3 is measured to be about 1.01 ms.

The increasing demand for neodymium (III) and samarium (III) due to their extensive high-tech applications has drawn much attention to their recovery. In this work, the copper-based metal-organic framework HKUST-1 was prepared and used for the adsorption of neodymium (III) and samarium (III) in the media of an aqueous solution. The maximum adsorption capacity of the material for neodymium (III) and samarium (III) was 284.11 and 503.45 mg g −1 at a pH of 5.5, respectively. The adsorption removal rate could achieve nearly 100% at the solid-to-liquid ratio of 1.0 g L −1 , which is relatively excellent among such adsorbents used for rare earth elements uptake. The mechanism and reversibility of neodymium (III) and samarium (III) adsorption were systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, suggesting that the mechanism for the adsorption was ion exchange and complexation between trivalent rare-earth ions and the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group. The reason behind the material displaying a more robust affinity for samarium (III) may be caused by the energy difference between f n and f n+1 states of samarium (III) was larger than that of neodymium (III), thus forming stronger covalent bonding. Graphical abstract HKUST-1 exhibited high adsorption capacity towards Nd (III) and Sm (III). The reason behind the material displaying a more robust affinity for Sm(III) was caused by that the energy difference between f n and f n+1 states of Sm(III) was larger than that of Nd(III), thus forming stronger covalent bonding.

Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) kinetics is severely limited by suboptimal intermediate adsorption, which can be significantly improved by modulating catalyst spin configurations. Herein, we report an effective strategy for reforming the Ru spin configuration in pyrochlore oxide Y 2 Ru 2 O 7 (YRO) to enhance UOR performance through gradient orbital coupling. By partially substituting Y with Sm, we precisely regulate the electronic structure of candidate Y 1.9 Sm 0.1 Ru 2 O 7 (YRO-Sm), transforming Ru spin configuration from the low spin to the high spin (HS) configuration. The HS configuration endows YRO-Sm with excellent UOR activity (1.43 V at j = 100 mA cm −2 ) and robust stability. Theoretical analysis reveals that Sm substitution leads to a significant Sm(4 f)–O(2p)–Ru(4d) orbital electron coupling effect. The highly degenerate 4 f orbitals of Sm enhance Ru–O covalency and Ru electron localization in YRO-Sm, facilitating *COO intermediate dissociation and thereby lowering the energy barrier for UOR. The practical potential of YRO-Sm was further demonstrated through its successful integration into both a hybrid water electrolyzer for energy-saving hydrogen production and a urea-assisted zinc–air battery. This work demonstrates a promising pathway for developing high-performance pyrochlore catalysts via spin state engineering for sustainable energy conversion applications.

Sm-doped Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )-PbTiO 3 (PMN-PT) binary ferroelectric ceramics has received extensive attention due to the excellent dielectric and piezoelectric properties . However, its Curie temperature ( T c ) is greatly reduced by Sm doping and T c is only 89 °C at the optimum piezoelectric coefficient. In this work, Sm-doped Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 –Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )-PbTiO 3 (Sm: PMN-PZN-PT) ternary ferroelectric ceramics near MPB were successfully manufactured and the crystal structure, microstructure and electric properties were investigated with respect to Sm doping content. A high piezoelectric coefficient of 870 pC/N and a high T c of 146 °C were achieved simultaneously in PMN-PZN-PT ternary ceramics with 1% Sm doping content. In addition, the room temperature dielectric constant was greatly improved by Sm doping and the P r , P s and E c values gradually decrease with the increase of Sm content. These results indicate that Sm-doped PMN-PZN-PT ceramics may be an attractive material for high performance piezoelectric device applications.

Piezoelectric materials have wide commercial applications involving our everyday lives. The common categorized “soft” and “hard” piezoelectric materials have distinct even contradictory performance parameters typically exemplified by piezoelectric coefficient d 33 and mechanical quality factor Q m . However, for some special devices operated in resonant mode, simultaneously high or at least balanced performance parameters are needed. Here, we show the transition from “soft” to “hard” performance in 2 mol% Sm doped (0.36- x )Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 - x Pb(Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.28PbZrO 3 -0.36PbTiO 3 quaternary solid solution piezoceramics, for which the d 33 and planar electromechanical coupling factor k p decrease, while Q m and Curie temperature T c increase monotonously with increasing x value. As the results, balanced performance with moderate d 33 = 446 pC/N, k p = 0.49, Q m = 425, and T c = 170 °C are achieved around x = 0.03. This work not only shows the feasibility for combining “soft” and “hard” performance by forming appropriate solid solutions, but also provides a suitable material basis for further simultaneously optimizing piezoelectric parameters.

A series of Sm-doped CeO 2 /Beta composite catalysts with various Sm/Ce atomic ratios(0.1–0.4) were prepared by an incipient impregnation method, followed by calcination at 650 °C. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), N 2 adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Raman, NH 3 -temperature programmed desorption(TPD) and CO 2 -TPD. The incorporation of Sm into CeO 2 /Beta increases obviously the propylene yield for the selective conversion of ethanol to propylene. The promoting effect of Sm on CeO 2 /Beta can be attributed to two reasons. One is more acetone intermediates are generated on the Sm-doped catalysts due to the enhanced formation of oxygen vacancies. The other is the conversion of acetone intermediate to propylene is enhanced owing to weaker and fewer acid sites on the Sm-doped catalysts.

Ni-based cermets are the most widely used anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells. Reducing the content of Ni is beneficial to anode stability but usually unfavorable for the catalytic activity. In this study, Ni-Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ anode with a low Ni content is synthesized through a polymer-directed evaporation-induced self-assembly strategy. Ni distributes evenly in the anode, resulting in an enlarged triple-phase boundary region and improved reactivity of lattice oxygen in the oxide phase. The anode containing 5 wt.% Ni possesses the highest amounts of oxygen vacancies and Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ redox pairs that facilitates the charge transfer process, which is one of the rate-determining steps of anode reaction. Consequently, that anode shows the lowest polarization resistance of 0.014 Ω cm 2 at 700 °C, much lower than those of other Ni-based anodes prepared through conventional techniques such as impregnation and solid-mixing. With that anode, a single cell supported by a 480-μm-thick Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ electrolyte layer exhibits the maximum power density of 270 mW cm −2 at 700 °C. The anode also shows a promising stability.

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.

As the two typical basic binary solid solutions of the relaxor-PbTiO3 family, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) has been widely investigated, whereas Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PNN-PT) has not. Here, 1.5 mol% Sm-doped (1 − x)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3–xPbTiO3, (1 − x)PNN–xPT:0.015Sm with x = 0.33–0.39, ceramics have been prepared and the chemical composition-induced evolution of crystal structure, domain, and electrical properties investigated systematically. With increasing PT content, evolution of the rhombohedral–tetragonal structure was observed. A rhombohedral–tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary occurred around x = 0.36–0.37, which showed a peak piezoelectric property with piezoelectric constant d33 = 531 pC N−1 and planar electromechanical coupling factor kp = 0.37 at room temperature. At the same time, the x = 0.36 composition showed improved ferroelectric behavior with remanent polarization Pr = 13.4 μC cm−2 and coercive field Ec = 3.2 kV cm−1. Interestingly, different from its PMN-PT counterpart, there is no temperature-driven phase transition between room temperature and the Curie temperature for (1 − x)PNN–xPT:0.015Sm. These parameters indicated that the PNN-PT system is worthy of more attention and is a promising platform for further development of high-performance piezo/ferroelectric materials.

Multiferroic BiFeO 3 and Bi 1- x Sm x Fe 0.95 Nb 0.05 O 3 ceramics are successfully fabricated by spark plasma sintering combined with sol-gel powders. The effects of Sm and Nb co-doping on the structural, dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties of the samples are investigated. With the Sm-Nb co-doping, the crystal structure of as-prepared samples transforms from R 3 c to Pnma and the grain size, loss tangent and leakage current density are reduced. The leakage current density of the co-doped samples can be reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude compared with the undoped sample. The dielectric, ferroelectric and magnetic properties are apparently enhanced due to the Sm-Nb co-doping. The optimal values of remanent polarization ( P r ) and magnetization ( M r ) of the created Bi 0.85 Sm 0.15 Fe 0.95 Nb 0.05 O 3 ceramic are approaching up to 5.853 μC/cm 2 and 0.187 emu/g, respectively. This enhancement of the multiferroic properties could be attributed to the co-doping-induced structural distortion, grain size reduction, oxygen vacancy decrease, space-modulated spin structure collapse as well as increased magnetic ions.

To fulfill the real-time monitoring requirements for the high SO 2 concentrations in industrial emissions, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based mixed-potential SO 2 sensors with rare-earth vanadates (AVO 4 , A = Ce, Sm) as sensing electrode materials were investigated in this work. The microstructure of the AVO 4 electrode was tuned by adjusting the corresponding sintering temperature (800-1100 °C), reaching the optimal match between particle size and pore structure at 1000 °C. The CeVO 4 sensor sintered at 1000 °C exhibited the best performance at the operation temperature of 400 °C, in which its polyhedral structure and the formation of CeVO 4 /CeO 2 heterointerfaces enhanced the diffusion and adsorption of SO 2 , achieving a response of -69.73 mV for 500 ppm SO 2 and a sensitivity of -25.92 mV/decade for 50-500 ppm SO 2 , significantly higher than that of the SmVO 4 electrode (-18.87 mV, -12.81 mV/decade). Additionally, the sensor can be operated at a wide temperature range from 400 °C to 600 °C. The response/recovery times were significantly shortened to 31 s/45 s (100 ppm) and 11 s/33 s (500 ppm) at 600 °C, approximately 90% faster than those of 400 °C, while maintaining a sensitivity of -13.06 mV/decade for 50-500 ppm SO 2 . Furthermore, the sensor exhibited excellent repeatability and long-term stability at 600 °C, which remained stable for 18 days with a slight response variation of < 8%. This study provides novel material design and optimization strategies for developing high-sensitivity SO 2 sensors with a wide detection range and rapid response ability, which are capable of operating under harsh industrial conditions.
