A composite of CdS nanoparticles and a europium metal organic framework (Eu-MOF) (CdS/Eu-MOF) was synthesized. The unique properties of MOFs help to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of CdS by reducing charge carrier recombination and utilizing a broader spectrum for light harvesting. Under visible light illumination, the photocurrent of the CdS/Eu-MOF composite modified electrode was about 2.5-fold higher than that of the CdS modified electrode. When an ampicillin (AMP)-binding aptamer was immobilized on the CdS/Eu-MOF modified electrode as a recognition element, a self-powered PEC aptasensor exhibiting a specific photocurrent response to AMP was constructed. Several experimental conditions such as the ratio of CdS to MOF, the coating amount of the CdS/Eu-MOF suspension and the concentration of the aptamer were studied. Under optimum conditions, the photocurrent of the developed sensor was linearly related to the logarithm AMP concentration in the range of 1 × 10−10 to 2 × 10−7 M, with a detection limit (3S/N) of 9.3 × 10−11 M. Moreover, this sensor exhibited excellent selectivity, good repeatability and desirable stability. It was successfully applied to the detection of AMP in lake water and milk samples.

Hierarchically uniform three-dimensional europium-based metal–organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) have been successfully fabricated via a facile and mild liquid precipitation method at room temperature. The morphology, structure, and composition of samples are well characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analyses, respectively. These well-arranged Eu-MOFs architectures show red emission corresponding to the 5 D 0 / 7 F 2 transition of the Eu 3+ ions under UV light excitation. Remarkably, these Eu-MOFs samples exhibit clear “turn-off” quenching response for styrene vapors with high selectivity and reusability. This Eu-MOFs fluorescent sensor realizes fast recognition for styrene with a response time of less than 1 min at room temperature. Moreover, good detection reproductivity could also be achieved in this sensor. Considering the easy preparation, high selectivity and excellent repeatability, the sensor system provides a convenient and reliable detection of volatile organic compound in everyday applications.

One of the most important reasons for the controversy over the development of nuclear energy is the proper disposal of spent fuel . Separation of actinide and lanthanide ions is an important part of safe long-term storage of radioactive waste . Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based macrostructure (GOCS) was utilized to remove actinide thorium and lanthanide europium ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Eu(III) and Th(IV) on the GOCS was evaluated as a function of adsorption time, solution pH, initial ion concentrations , and ionic strength. The experimentally determined maximum adsorption capacities of this GOCS for Eu(III) (pH 6.0) and Th(IV) (pH 3.0) are as high as 150 and 220 mg/g, respectively. By using Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, we concluded that the Eu(III) and Th(IV) adsorption was predominantly attributed to the inner-sphere coordination with various oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups on GOCS surfaces. Our selective adsorption results demonstrate that the actinide and lanthanide ions can be effectively separated from transition metal ions . This study provides new clues to the overall recycling of actinide and lanthanide ions in radioactive environmental pollution treatments.

Engineering novel ratiometric temperature sensors with high temperature sensitivity is still of a great challenge in versatile temperature measurement fields. Herein, a self-calibrated optical luminescent thermometer based on Eu 3+ /Mn 2+ dual-activator was fabricated in the same nanocomposite system, which integrated the photoluminescence originated from the temperature-insensitive Eu-metal organic framework with weak coupling effect and the temperature-sensitive Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ with strong coupling effect. Specifically, the as-prepared nanocomposites composed of lanthanide MOF Eu-BTC (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ nanorods possessed Eu 3+ /Mn 2+ dual red/green emission, which displays excellent ratiometric temperature-sensing functions and also has high relative sensitivity ( S r ) of 4.1% ºC −1 when they are used as ratiometric luminescent thermometer in the physiological temperatures (25–45 °C). These results demonstrate that such a design strategy with synergistic weak/strong coupling luminescence is useful and the as-obtained Eu-MOF/Zn 2 GeO 4 :Mn 2+ nanocomposites can be potential for temperature sensor applications.

Mild molten salt synthesis (MSS) method was utilized to synthesize rare earth fluorides nanocrystals with favorable fluorescence efficiency. LaF 3 nanocrystals were achieved through this modified MSS method by only using La(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O and NH 4 HF 2 as starting materials. NH 4 HF 2 is difunctionality as both fluorine source and the flux. The effects of reaction time and temperature to the synthesis of LaF 3 nanocrystals were discussed in detail. The fluorescence of LaF 3 nanocrystals was detected with excitation wavelength of 360 nm, the results showed a broad band emission centered at 475 nm. The photoluminescence properties of pure LaF 3 nanocrystals and Eu 3+ doped samples were also investigated. In our work, white light emission was achieved in single element (Eu 3+ ) doped LaF 3 nanocrystals by adjusting the concentration of Eu 3+ ions. This would be the combination of broad emission of LaF 3 nanocrystals and sharp line emission of Eu 3+ in the LaF 3 :Eu 3+ nanocrystals.

In this work, we report the development of easy-prepared, low cost and portable photoluminescent films for pH and amine vapors detection based on Eu(III)-complex functionalized materials: Eu(DBM)3Phen (LMOF-1), Eu(DBM)3BPY (LMOF-2), which were loaded on portable matrices (e.g. neutral silica plate and normal filter paper). The films not only displayed response over a pH range of 4–13 but also can be employed to sense volatile amines or acids vapors like ammonia, ethylenediamine, acetic acid and hydrochloric acid etc., which is significant for portable pH or acid–base vapors detection.

Lanthanide ions-doped fluoride nanocrystals have excellent application prospect. However, low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is usually along with lanthanide ions-doped fluoride nanocrystals owing to their low molar absorptivity and narrow absorption band . In order to increase the absorption cross section of Ln 3+ in fluoride nanocrystals, a facile synthesis strategy to enhance luminescence of AF 2 : Ln 3+ (A = Ca, Sr; Ln = Eu, Tb) by the use of carbon dots (CDs) has been developed in this work. A series of characterizations including TEM , XRD , FTIR and XPS demonstrated that the CDs have been successfully combined with the surface of AF 2 : Ln 3+ nanocrystals. The combination of CDs has little influence on the microstructure and phase structure of AF 2 : Ln 3+ , and CDs@AF 2 : Ln 3+ nanocrystals have uniform and regular shape with cubic phase. CDs are used as a broadband sensitizer and lead to the broadband excitation of Ln 3+ , resulting in the enhancement around 10-fold of Ln 3+ luminescence emission in AF 2 : Ln 3+ nanocrystals after CDs combination. The corresponding PLQY increases almost three times, and the luminescence enhancement mechanism by combining CDs is proposed. In addition, the CDs@AF 2 : Ln 3+ nanocrystals are used to prepare CDs@AF 2 : Ln 3+ /PVA films, which exhibits excellent luminescence properties under the excitation of UV light . This work provides a superior method for enhancing the luminescence properties of lanthanide ions-doped nanocomposites and demonstrates practical potential as promising candidates for light-converting thin films .

In this work, a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor has been constructed with Eu-doped chitosan carbon dot (Eu: Cs dot) and dendritic silver nanostructure. Firstly, Eu: Cs dots were synthesized as ECL tags, which not only possessed exceptional electrochemical characters and intense luminescence, but also can reacted with H 2 O 2 as co-reactant to generate ECL signal. Furthermore, dendritic silver nanostructure with conductive gel was successfully prepared as sensing interface. The dendritic silver nanostructure with conductive gel displayed the ideal conductivity, good electrochemical stability, which can enhance the ECL intensity of Eu: CS dots. Finally, BRAF V600E from thyroid cancer exosome in the clinic eluate can be captured and detected. The results indicated the relative association between BRAF V600E mutation and lymphatic metastasis, which can be used in assessing thyroid cancer progression for advancing clinical diagnosis applications.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous hybrid materials made of metal and organic linkers. Combining MOFs with polymers enhances their performance and addresses the issue of low stability. In this study, a uniform nanoscale Eu(III)-based metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) was synthesized and grown in situ on TEMPO(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxide)-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNF), resulting in the formation of Eu-MOF@TOCNF fluorescence films through vacuum filtration. These films exhibited favorable mechanical properties, high transmittance, and stable fluorescence characteristics within the pH range of 3–11. The film produced the characteristic emission peak of Eu 3+ , recognized the selective quenching of Fe 3+ within 0–100μM, and displayed an inverse relationship between fluorescence intensity at 616 nm and Fe 3+ concentration. This approach holds significant promise for Fe 3+ detection in solutions and offers a novel strategy for developing highly efficient optical sensors based on fluorescence specificity.

Uniform, ultra-small-sized and well-water-dispersible LaF3 nanoparticles doped with trivalent rare earth (RE) ions (Eu3+ or Tb3+) have been synthesized by a simple, low temperature synthesis route. The nanoparticles, with sizes of about 3.2 nm (for those doped with Eu3+) and 3.0 nm (for those doped with Tb3+), are roughly spherical and monodisperse. 1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic acid (labeled as BA) as sensitizer has been bonded to the surface of the nanoparticles, which can sensitize the emission of RE3+ in the LaF3 nanoparticles. The BA–LaF3:RE3+ (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles have a broad absorption band in the UV domain, and show enhanced luminescence of RE3+ based on an energy transfer from BA ligands to RE3+ ions (i.e. the so-called “antenna effect”). Due to the dual protection of organic ligands (BA) and inorganic matrices (LaF3), BA–LaF3:RE3+ (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles have longer excited state lifetimes than LaF3:RE3+ (RE = Eu or Tb) nanoparticles as well as lanthanide coordination polymers of BA.

Fluorescent hydrogel as an advanced material has been used for anti-counterfeiting, probe detection, and optical devices. A facile strategy to prepare fluorescent hydrogel is developed by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with Europium(III) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The hydrogel forms a physical cross-linking network under mild reaction conditions without using volatile organic chemicals. The addition of CMC-Eu(III) improves the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. At 15% CMC-Eu(III), the hydrogel reaches its maximum tensile and compressive stress, which are 47.25 ± 10.35 and 10.14 ± 1.90 kPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the hydrogels exhibit a 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 characteristic emission peak assigned to Eu 3+ , which emits stable red fluorescence under 254 nm ultraviolet (UV) light. When this hydrogel is applied to paper, the paper showed hidden fluorescent dots under UV light. This additive also enhances the mechanical properties of the paper, which reveals the multifunctionality of this fluorescent hydrogel for anti-counterfeiting and reinforcement.

A novel extraction process utilizing THEE-BisDGA ligand has been developed for the rapid and efficient recovery of trivalent lanthanide elements (La, Nd, Eu, and Dy) from uranium-containing acidic systems. The process rapidly achieves equilibrium within just 2 min and exhibits high distribution ratios. Notably, its extraction efficiency shows a positive correlation with the atomic number of the lanthanides. Significantly, the ligand demonstrates exceptional selectivity by excluding U(VI) extraction, thus enabling the targeted recovery of lanthanides. Back-extraction experiments confirm that 0.01 M HNO 3 can quantitatively strip lanthanides in three steps, highlighting its potential for industrial-scale separation and purification of valuable lanthanides. Moreover, density functional theory(DFT) calculations have confirmed that THEE-BisDGA exhibits superior selectivity for Ln(III) over U(VI), further reinforcing its effectiveness and applicability in advanced separation technologies.
