A cubic fluorite-type CeO2with mesoporous multilayered morphology was synthesized by the solvothermal method followed by calcination in air, and its oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was quantified by the amount of O2consumption per gram of CeO2based on hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2–TPR) measurements. Doping CeO2with ytterbium (Yb) and nitrogen (N) ions proved to be an effective route to improving its OSC in this work. The OSC of undoped CeO2was 0.115 mmol O2/g and reached as high as 0.222 mmol O2/g upon the addition of 5 mol.% Yb(NO3)3∙5H2O, further enhanced to 0.274 mmol O2/g with the introduction of 20 mol.% triethanolamine. Both the introductions of Yb cations and N anions into the CeO2lattice were conducive to the formation of more non-stoichiometric oxygen vacancy (VO) defects and reducible–reoxidizable Cen+ions. To determine the structure performance relationships, the partial least squares method was employed to construct two linear functions for the doping level vs. lattice parameter and [VO] vs. OSC/SBET.Keywords:CeO2;doping;solvothermal;oxygen storage capacity;porous

In this study, NaYTiO 4 : Yb/Tm phosphors with different concentrations of Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ ions were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. Upon a 980 nm laser excitation, the up-conversion luminescence properties in a wide temperature range (303–823 K) were investigated. By employing the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) techniques based on the robust near-infrared emissions of thermally coupled 3 F 2,3 / 3 H 4 energy levels and 3 H 4(1) / 3 H 4(2) Stark energy levels, the calculated absolute sensitivity (S a ), relative sensitivity (S r ), and temperature uncertainty (δT) values demonstrated good temperature sensing properties. For the 3 F 2,3 / 3 H 4 energy levels, the maximum S r and minimum δT values are 1.04% K −1 and 0.010 K at 463 K, respectively. Moreover, the maximum S a is 0.32 × 10 −3 K −1 at 823 K. In addition, the thermally coupled 3 H 4 Stark energy levels present the maximum S a , S r and the minimum δT are 0.88 × 10 −3 K −1 , 0.60% K −1 and 3.17 K at 303 K, respectively. Besides, due to the ratio of blue to red emission varying with elevated temperature, the NaYTiO 4 : Yb/Tm phosphors are expected to be applied as an intuitive high-temperature indicator.

As an environmentally friendly thermoelectric material, SnSe has attracted great attention because of its excellent performance in its single-crystal form. On the other hand, the better mechanical property and lower manufacturing cost of its polycrystalline counterpart with the better mechanical property and lower manufacturing cost can serve as a better candidate for widespread applications. Previous reports on p-type polycrystalline SnSe mainly focus on optimizing the carrier concentration by doping alkali metals or decreasing the lattice thermal conductivity by nanostructuring. Here, we report the effect of Yb doping on the thermoelectric properties of polycrystalline SnSe prepared by solvothermal synthesis . Through introducing Yb, the p-type carrier concentration is increased and the density of states at valence band maximum is distorted, which is revealed by DFT calculation, leading to an increase of the effective mass. Thus, the power factor has been markedly enhanced to 0.78 mW m −1 K −2 at 823 K (about 1.6 times that of undoped SnSe). Moreover, Yb doping in SnSe decreases the lattice thermal conductivity by intensifying the phonon scattering. As a result, a high zT of 1.1 at 823 K in Sn 0.98 Yb 0.02 Se is achieved along the in-plane direction. This work provides a new way for improving the thermoelectric properties of SnSe by modifying its valence band structure .

Due to the restriction of CMAS corrosion, the YSZ TBCs are facing great challenges, which accelerates the development of the novel potential thermal barrier materials. This work has investigated the CMAS corrosion resistance of the novel thermal barrier material GdTaO 4 and YbTaO 4 to assess their potential in replacing the traditional YSZ . The results indicate that GdTaO 4 and YbTaO 4 possess excellent phase stability, and there is no phase transition after 150 h sintering at 1350 °C. The crystallization phenomenon has occurred in the residual CMAS when the reaction time is 0.5 h, and the main crystallization product is CaMgSi 2 O 6 . In comparison, when the reaction time increase to 10 h, the crystallization phenomenon has disappeared completely. The maximum reaction layer thickness of GdTaO 4 and YbTaO 4 are ∼10 μm and ∼6 μm after 10 h CMAS corrosion, respectively. The XRD patterns indicate that the main product after 10 h reaction is Ca 2 Ta 2 O 7 . Compared with the CaMgSi 2 O 6 , the Ca 2 Ta 2 O 7 possesses lower formation enthalpy and cohesion energy. With the reaction time rising, the formation of Ca 2 Ta 2 O 7 consumes lots of Ca elements and restrain the formation of CaMgSi 2 O 6 . Besides, the difference of GdTaO 4 and YbTaO 4 in CAMS corrosion resistance is also attributed to cohesion energy. These results indicate that GdTaO 4 and YbTaO 4 exhibit enormous potential to manufacture the novel TBCs in CMAS corrosion resistance compared with the YSZ.

In order to obtain 177 Lu with both diagnostic and therapeutic functions from the preparation process of carrier-free 177 Lu, the separation of 176 Yb/ 177 Lu is required. However, the existing electrochemical methods require high voltage, are not conducive to controlling the pH value of the system, and need to be carried out under anaerobic conditions. Herein, this study innovatively proposes to synergize the combination of photocatalysis and electrochemistry, the bridging role of the medium, and the electron transfer effect of oxygen to address the issues existing in the pure electrochemical removal of Yb 3+ . Therefore, using a nitrogen-doped CdS/carbon felt (N-CdS-CF) photoanode, a mercury cathode, and tartaric acid as a medium. Under optimal conditions (initial pH 7.00, 80.0 mg N-CdS-CF, 80 ppm Yb 3+ ), a 40-min treatment at only 6.0 V achieved a 96.7% removal of Yb 3+ —significantly higher than the 42.2% obtained with pure electrochemistry at 8.0 V. Moreover, the pH value of the system is increased and effectively controlled. Meanwhile, the study finds that O₂ in this system not only plays a role in electron transfer to improve the removal of Yb 3+ but also reduces the voltage for water oxidation, thus reducing the generation of H + in the solution. The interaction between tartaric acid, Yb 3+ and mercury helps Yb 3+ to be reduced to form an amalgam. This study has opened up a brand-new technical approach for the efficient and green preparation of carrier-free 177 Lu.

Rare-earth (RE) doping has proven to be effective in enhancing the luminescent and optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites (HPs). However, the growth of RE-doped halide perovskite single crystals remains challenging. Herein, we successfully synthesized nine distinct MAPbBr3:RE (RE = Yb, Eu, Tb) single crystals (6–8 mm in size, RE/Pb = 0.008–0.053%) through systematic optimization of RE reagents, growth temperature, and solution concentration. Structural and optical characterization revealed RE-induced lattice expansion and band gap modulation, confirming the effective incorporation into the perovskite lattice. Furthermore, RE doping significantly improved the charge transport properties of MAPbBr3 single crystals. After doping Yb into MAPbBr3 (Yb/Pb = 0.013%), the trap density decreased from 9.2 × 109 to 2.5 × 109/cm3, carrier mobility increased from 59 to 799 cm2/(V s), and carrier lifetime increased from 199 to 2766 ns. These enhancements translated to exceptional γ-ray detection performance, with the energy resolution (ER) value for 241Am (59.5 keV) improved from 11.0% (for pristine MAPbBr3) to 6.3% (MAPbBr3:Yb) under a 5 V bias. This work not only establishes RE doping as a powerful strategy for optimizing the properties of halide perovskite semiconductors but also opens new avenues for the development of advanced radiation sensing materials.

The luminescent performance of ytterbium complexes is comparatively unsatisfactory due to the quenching effect of high energy N-H/O-H bonds, which exist in solvent molecules. To suppress this quenching, three ligands were designed that could prevent solvent molecules from directly coordinating to Yb 3+ . These ligands were synthesized through simple and low-cost procedures. X-ray single-crystal diffraction data confirmed there is no direct coordination interaction between solvent molecules and Yb 3+ , achieving the predetermined structural design purpose. Among these complexes, [Yb(DCP) 2 ](DIEA) exhibited quantum yield (QY) of 1.34% and a luminescent lifetime of 95 μs in CD 3 OD. The thermodynamic feasibility of ligand-sensitized luminescence of central ion through internal redox process was demonstrated. Additionally, preliminary investigations verified its application potential in solution-processed OLED with the maximum irradiance up to 237,926 μW/m 2 and its utility in anti-counterfeiting applications.

Photocatalysis presents a promising solution for environmental remediation, though conventional photocatalysts remain constrained to the ultraviolet and partially visible regions of the solar spectrum. To address this limitation, we developed a NaYF 4 :Yb,Er/BiOBr (N/B) composite photocatalyst, leveraging upconversion luminescence to convert near-infrared photons into visible light while utilizing BiOBr's narrow bandgap for enhanced visible-light absorption. The composite photocatalyst was fabricated via a two-step solvothermal approach and evaluated for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). Remarkably, the N/B-120°C sample demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity, achieving degradation rates 2.4- and 5.4-fold higher than those of pristine BiOBr and commercial TiO 2 (P25), respectively. This enhanced performance is attributed to synergistic effects including an increased specific surface area (23.96 m 2 /g for N/B-120°C vs. 16.28 m 2 /g for BiOBr), reduced charge transfer resistance (as evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) Nyquist plots), elevated oxygen vacancy concentration (as verified by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy [XPS]), and extended solar spectral utilization range (400–980 nm). This work presents a viable strategy to improve the efficiency of photocatalysis.

Tropical urban greenhouses are prone to heat trapping due to higher daily temperatures compared to temperate climates, and a high energy cost is required to maintain optimal growth conditions. Lanthanide-based nanoparticles are known for their capability of performing upconversion, a process where lower energy photons are absorbed and converted to a single photon of higher energy. These upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) possess the innate ability to convert infrared energy to visible light, thereby facilitating efficient heat removal while simultaneously providing upconverted visible light. Consequently, the incorporation of such material into greenhouse façades presents an attractive zero-energy alternative to commonly used greenhouse cooling technologies. In this study, NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ UCNPs were synthesized and coated onto a simulated greenhouse enclosure with Pak Choi plants to observe the effect of such a film coating on actual crop growth. A reduction of the interior temperature, increased sunlight diffusion, and improved crop yield were demonstrated in this work, showing promising results for future urban greenhouse façade applications.

Yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) nanopowders were synthesized by a normal precipitation method using (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 as dispersing agent. Pure Y 2 O 3 powders without any other phase can be achieved by calcining the precursor at 600 °C for 4 h. The precursor and Y 2 O 3 powders were characterized by TG-DTA, XRD , SEM and BET. In this work, 5 at.%Yb : (La 0.1 Y 1.9 ) 2 O 3 transparent ceramics were made by vacuum sintering at 1650 °C for 10 h. The in-line transmittance of the 5 at.%Yb:(La 0.1 Y 0.9 ) 2 O 3 ceramics is 81.3% at the wavelength of 1031 nm. The absorption cross-sections of the sample are calculated to be 1.20 × 10 −20 cm 2 , 5.74 × 10 −21 cm 2 and 4.18 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 976, 951 and 906 nm, respectively.

As candidate thermal/environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs), the structure characteristics and comprehensive properties of monoclinic-prime (m') RETaO 4 (RE = Yb, Lu, Sc) with excellent Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 chemical compatibility are studied. Excellent thermal insulation protection will be provided by m'RETaO 4 due to their low thermal conductivity (∼1.6 W m −1 K −1 , 900 °C) and prominent thermal radiation resistance, which is much better than those of YSZ (∼2.5 W m −1 K −1 , 1000 °C) and La 2 Zr 2 O 7 (∼2.0 W m −1 K −1 , 900 °C). The thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) are 3.0–8.0 × 10 -6 K −1 (200−1200 °C), which is suitable for T/EBCs applications. Furthermore, absence of phase transition and extraordinary chemical compatibility with Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 up to 1500 °C indicate the potential application prospect. The documented governing mechanisms of m'RETaO 4 properties will enable researchers to promote their application in the future investigation.

A core–shell-structured composite by combining mesoporous silica with upconversion luminescence (UCL) property had considerable application potentials in the fields of drug delivery, disease diagnosis, and therapy. In this paper, a monodisperse, core–shell-structured NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@ n SiO 2 @ m SiO 2 nanoparticle (UCNP@MSNs-FA) with excellent UCL property was successfully fabricated by a facile two-step sol–gel strategy and by modifying the surface with folic acid (FA) to strengthen its tumor-targeting performance. The properties of the composite were studied extensively, which indicated that UCNP@MSNs-FA possessed good dispersion, typical core–shell-structured with high specific surface area (132.775 m 2 /g), and excellent UCL property that improve cell imaging and drug delivery. The viability of L929 cells and hemolysis assay demonstrated the good biocompatibility of the composite. By using doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) as a model drug, the drug loading content and encapsulation efficiency of UCNP@MSNs-FA could reach as high as 11.2% and 37.3%, respectively, which proved the effectiveness to load anticancer drugs. In addition, the DOX-UCNP@MSNs-FA system exhibited sustained drug release and strong pH-dependent performance, in which the drug release would be accelerated at the slightly acidic microenvironment in the tumor. Moreover, experimental results indicated that DOX-UCNP@MSNs-FA exhibited specific cytotoxicity to KB cells but weakened toxicity to FR-negative cells. Therefore, the as-prepared UCNP@MSNs-FA could be used potential for simultaneous targeted anti-cancer drug delivery and cell imaging and enhance the therapeutic efficacy against FR-positive tumor cells.
