Abstract A local bentonite from Gaomiaozi county (Inner Mongolia province, China) was purified, and the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for the characterization of the purified sample to determine its chemical constituents and microstructures. The sorption behavior of Nd(III) on bentonite was performed by batch technique, and the effects of contact time, clay dosage, pH, ionic strength and temperature were investigated. The results indicated that sorption of Nd(III) on bentonite was strongly dependent on pH values, suggesting that surface complexation was the main sorption mechanism in the sorption process. The sorption isotherm fitted well by Langmuir models. The thermodynamic parameters, such as, enthalpy (∆ H °), entropy (Δ S °), and Gibbs free energy (Δ G °) were calculated from the temperature dependent sorption data, and the results indicated that the sorption of Nd(III) on bentonite was a spontaneous process, and the sorption was endothermic.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for hydrogen production is a promising technology for sustainable energy generation. In this work, we introduce Nd sites boost the PEC performance of Fe2O3 photoanodes through a precise gas-phase cation exchange process, which substitutes surface Fe atoms with Nd. The incorporation of Nd significantly enhances charge transfer properties, increases carrier concentration, and reduces internal resistance, leading to a substantial increase in photocurrent density from 0.44 to 0.92 mA cm–2 at 1.23 VRHE. Further enhancement of catalytic activity was achieved by depositing a NiCo(OH)x layer and a photocurrent density of 1.15 mA cm–2 at 1.23 VRHE were obtained. Theoretical calculations corroborate these experimental results, revealing that Nd doping narrows the bandgap, improves charge separation efficiency, and lowers the reaction potential barrier, thereby accelerating water oxidation kinetics. These findings underscore the effectiveness of surface cation exchange and targeted metallic element doping in overcoming the intrinsic limitations of Fe2O3, providing a viable pathway for developing high-performance PEC systems for efficient hydrogen production.

Herein, the Nd(OH) 3 -NiTe 2 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis. The crystal structure, morphology and surface element composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. At the same time, the electrocatalytic performance of Nd(OH) 3 -NiTe 2 for glucose oxidation in alkaline electrolyte was determined by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It exhibits a high peak current density of about 21.09 mA/cm 2 for glucose oxidation. The low semicircle diameter of 8000 Ω means fast electron transfer of Nd(OH) 3 -NiTe 2 . The oxidation signal of glucose at 0.5 V tends to be constant within 36000 s. Electrochemical experiments show that Nd(OH) 3 -NiTe 2 nanoparticles exhibit good electrocatalytic activity and stability for the oxidation of glucose, which proves their potential application in the field of fuel cells.

In this research, we designed a novel NIR II luminescence imaging probe with targeting effect to accurately track oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. Massive gene expression data were processed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis to establish a network of relationships between genes. After clustering, correlation of clinical information, and gene functional enrichment analysis, MMP1 was predicted to be a biomarker/therapeutic target for OSCC cells. To obtain rare-earth probes with better luminescence in the NIR II region, we adjusted the doping ratio of the rare-earth element (Nd, Gd, Er, and Yb) fraction of the Nd-Mn molecular cluster to optimize its luminescence properties. The results of in vitro targeting experiments showed that Nd-Mn-MMP1Ab can target Cal-27 cells, demonstrating at the cellular level that the MMP1 gene is a biomarker for oral cancer, which also proves that the cancer targets predicted by the bioinformatics approach are correct.

In this paper, a corrosion-resistant glutamic acid (Glu)-Cu-Nano-Al 2 O 3 composite coating with both hydrophobicity and self-healing characteristics was electrodeposited on the sintered Nd-Fe-B surface. The influence of the amount of Nano-Al 2 O 3 added in the acidic Cu 2+ -glutamate (Glu 2− ) solution on the performance of the composite coating was studied, the results show that Nano-Al 2 O 3 inclusion can make the surface of the composite coating appear papillary particles and make the composite coating hydrophobic. By analyzing the products of the composite coating after corrosion in 3.5% NaCl solution, it is shown that the codeposition copper dihydroglutamate (CuGlu 2 H 2 ) and Glu particles in the composite coating are released and dissolved in the solution with pH = 6.5 after copper corrosion, and then complexed with Cu 2+ produced by corrosion to form an insoluble copper glutamate (CuGlu) passive film, which was deposited on the corroded coating to achieve self-repairing function and prevent further corrosion. The hydrophobicity and self-repairing function of the composite coating ensure that the sintered Nd-Fe-B has excellent corrosion resistance.

A series of BiYO 3 and rare earth doped BiYO 3 nanotubes have been fabricated through a simple and economical electrospinning technique with subsequent calcination for the first time. The average diameter of the nanotube was approximately 200 nm. It is found that the Nd-doped BiYO 3 nanotubes exhibit an excellent multi-functionality of catalytic and visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities , thus the reduction of 4-Nitrophenol and degradation of Congo red can be rapidly achieved. The enhanced activity was attributed to the one-dimensional tube-like architecture, relatively appropriate band gap and Nd doping, which could be favorable for light harvesting, matter diffusion, and carrier transfer. This work may raise more detail research of BiYO 3 and also broaden its application in many fields.

A series of Nd and Ce co-doped Gd 2- x Nd x Zr 2- y Ce y O 7 (0.0 ≤ x , y ≤ 2.0) ceramics were rapidly fabricated through spark plasma sintering (SPS) within 3 min. The effects of Nd and Ce contents on the phase composition, lattice parameter , active modes, microtopography and microstructure have been investigated in detail. XRD studies reveal that the compositions corresponding to 0.0 ≤ y ≤ 1.0 show a single phase and beyond 1.0 exhibit multiphase. The lattice parameters increase with elevated Nd and Ce content. The grains are densely packed on each other with cube-like shape, and the elements are almost homogeneously distributed in the compound. This synthetic method provides a simple pathway for the preparation of highly densified single phase ceramic at 1600–1700 ℃ for 3 min under pressure of 80 MPa.

Multiphase ceramics have a high application potential in the field of nuclear waste immobilization because of the efficient synergy between the individual phases. In this work, zirconia/garnet multiphase ceramics with high efficient and effective immobilization capacity of trivalent actinides were successfully prepared using conventional solid-phase sintering. ZrO 2 doping increases the lattice site available for nuclide substitution and advance the immobilization capacity of the ceramic substrate for nuclide. At the same time, the phase change of zirconia is used to tougher and improve the physical properties of the ceramic waste form. The feasibility of using multiphase ceramics for the efficient immobilization of trivalent actinides was assessed by studying the phase evolution, microstructure, Vickers hardness, and chemical stability of the multi-phase ceramics. Zr 1- x Nd x O 2- x /2 /Ca 3- y Nd y Zr 3- y Fe y -1 Fe 3 O 12 multiphase ceramics exhibited superior physical or chemical properties compared to most of the multiphase ceramics as well as the previously prepared single-phase calcium garnet ceramic waste forms. The Vickers hardness of all the multiphase ceramic samples ranged between 685 and 730 HV0.5. Under the condition of using simulate Bei Shan groundwater as leaching agent, the normalized leaching rates of Nd is approximately 10 − 6 g · m −2 · day −1 , showing good chemical stability and achieving efficient and effective immobilization of trivalent actinides. The excellent chemical, as well as physical properties of Zr 1- x Nd x O 2- x /2 /Ca 3- y Nd y Zr 3- y Fe y -1 Fe 3 O 12 multiphase ceramics are expected to make them one of the substrates for more efficient and effective immobilizing of trivalent actinides.

Composite structures of YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG/YAG, YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG and YAG/5 at% Yb-doped LuAG transparent ceramics were successfully fabricated by non-aqueous tape-casting method and vacuum sintering technology. Cation (Y 3+ , Lu 3+ , Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ ) diffusion behavior across the contact boundaries between ytterbium (Yb) or neodymium (Nd) doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) and un-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was studied by the electron probe X-ray micro-analysis (EPMA). The diffusion concentration profile curves were well modeled by Harrison type B kinetics. Curves of concentration vs depth were well fitted by Fick’s second low and the log of the average concentration varies as 6/5 power of penetration depth in the diffusion range was demonstrated. Meanwhile, the bulk diffusion coefficient and grain boundary diffusion coefficient were calculated. For YAG/Nd:LuAG transparent ceramic, under an 808 nm diode laser pumping, the 1064 nm continuous wave (C.W.) laser output beam with good quality was achieved.

Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials have drawn great attention in recent years due to their promising applications in biomedicine and atomically optoelectronic devices. In this work, we have fabricated a 2D In 2 Se 3 nanosheet doped with Nd 3+ ions via the two-step method of solid phase synthesis and liquid exfoliation. Owing to the special inner 4f-4f energy level transitions, lanthanide ions can emit photons with almost the same energy in different environments. Here, a stable near-infrared luminescence from Nd 3+ -doped 2D In 2 Se 3 nanosheets has been realized, which includes emission bands around 910, 1057, and 1324 nm. The doping of Nd 3+ ions extends the emission region of In 2 Se 3 nanosheets. Moreover, the photoluminescence mechanism of Nd 3+ ions was investigated through a series of optical measurements. This work not only provides a reliable method to fabricate lanthanide ion-doped 2D materials but also possesses a great significance for luminescence study of lanthanide ions in the 2D matrix.

Lead-free double perovskites have been an excellent candidate for resistive memories due to their mixed electronic-ionic properties, remarkable ambient stability and nontoxicity. However, the studies on resistive memories of rare-earth ion doping lead-free double perovskite are scarce to date. Here, we report the lead-free double perovskite Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 films with tuning rare earth Nd 3+ content by the vacuum sublimation and solution processing. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm that Nd-doped Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 films show high crystallinity and phase purity. We also systematically investigate the resistive memory properties of the resulted Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 films doped by different content Nd 3+ . The resistive memory devices demonstrate a typical write-once-read-many-times (WORM) behavior with low on-set voltage and long retention time. Particularly, the ON/OFF ratio of Nd-doped Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 film is 1000 times higher than that of the undoped Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 film. This study exhibits that Nd-doped Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 film provide a new material platform for lead-free perovskite-based application in future electronics and optoelectronics .

Magnetic nanoparticles of Nd-Fe3O4 were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method, using NdCl3·6H2O and FeCl3·6H2O as the starting materials in this paper. The structure and morphology of nanoparticles were investigated by XRD, FTIR, EDS and TEM. The results showed that, while the addition of Nd at 10% in mole ratio, resulted in the formation of Nd2O3 crystal peak in cubic Fe3O4 nanocrystallites by XRD. The absorption bands of Fe‒O, ‒OH, ‒O‒C‒O‒ and ‒CH2‒ were accordant to the correspondent chemical groups by FTIR. The morphology of the prepared nanoparticles exhibited spherical structure and evenly distributed without agglomeration phenomenon by TEM. The elemental composition were mainly consistent with the precursor materials used in the experiment.
