Optical information encryption has critical importance for protecting property security, thus triggers great demands for exploring multi-color emission luminescence materials. In this work, we proposed a novel strategy for optical information encryption based on the thermal-responsive color-tunable emission phosphors. The information can be carried and enciphered by phosphors, then identified only by simultaneous heating and ultraviolet light irradiation, demonstrating higher security in the application. Given the thermal stability of luminescence and feasible regulation of emission spectra by temperature, we developed various concentrations of europium ions doped ScZr(VO 4 )(WO 4 ) 2 phosphors by introducing vanadate with self-excited emitting performance through co-substitution of [Zr 4+ -V 5+ ] for [Sc 3+ -W 6+ ] in Sc 2 W 3 O 12 negative thermal expansion phosphors. When the temperature increases from 298 K to 523 K, the lattice contraction can be observed due to the transverse vibration of bridging oxygen for [Sc/ZrO 6 ] octahedral and [W/VO 6 ] tetrahedron. As a result, the energy transfer efficiency from [VO 4 ] 3- to Eu 3+ is improved, and the spectra regulation is realized by different responses of green and red emissions to temperature. Under 275 nm excitation, the luminescence color of ScZr(VO 4 )(WO 4 ) 2 : 5 mol% Eu changes from green to white, to orange and to red. Moreover, the color-tunable performance is reversible for alternated heating and cooling cycles. To verify the practicality, simple experiments were designed and successfully executed. It is believed that the ScZr(VO 4 )(WO 4 ) 2 : Eu phosphors can be promising candidates for optical information encryption.

Achieving gas sensors that exhibit excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is critically important for effective environmental monitoring applications. In this research, a novel Eu-doped Tourmaline @MOF-ZnO core-shell nanocomposite was designed and fabricated, integrating a MOF-derived porous ZnO shell, a spontaneously polarized tourmaline core, and rare-earth Eu doping. The gas sensing properties of the sensors were systematically investigated across three different test scenarios: (i) at high temperature in the dark, (ii) at high temperature with UV enhancement, and (iii) at room temperature with UV activation. The optimized 0.08 wt% Eu-5 wt% TML-ZnO sensor achieved an exceptional response of 536 to 100 ppm n-butanol at room temperature under UV activation. The response value exceeds that of the pristine MOF-ZnO sensor by a factor of 14.78. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited rapid response/recovery times (39 s and 23 s, respectively), outstanding selectivity and long-term stability, superior detection capability for ultra-low gas concentrations (LOD = 23.35 ppb). This study pioneers a synergistic UV-activated rare-earth doping strategy for TML@MOF-ZnO core-shell nanostructures, enabling room-temperature ppb-level VOCs sensing.

The ferroelectric behavior of Bi1/2(Na0.8K0.2)1/2TiO3 has been tailored by Eu3+ doping and the intermediate relaxor state is utilized for tristate ferroelectric memory effect. As Eu3+ content increases, the local structural disorder tends to get enhanced and the stability of ferroelectric order gets weakened. The disruption effect of Eu3+ is manifested structurally in XRD and PL spectra, and electrically in the ferroelectric, dielectric and piezoelectric properties. We found that the BNKT:3.0%Eu which owns a relaxor state under electrical cycle would be suitable for tristate ferroelectric memory, where two ferroelectric states and the relaxor state are respectively served as the “±1” and “0” memory states. We designed the verification experiments, and the results show good feasibility and stability. Moreover, it is innovative using PL spectra of Eu3+ to understand the structural changes related to different memory states, owning to its sensitivity to local structural symmetry. It also implies the possibility for non-destructive optical readout.

EU-1 zeolite is employed as an active component of a catalyst for isomerization or hydroisomerization of C8 aromatics (i.e., xylenes, ethylbenzene) in petrochemical processes to increase the para-xylene yield. However, conventional manufacturing of EU-1-based catalysts involves the production of mother liquors for zeolite synthesis which usually contain plentiful unreacted raw materials, or the negative impact of incorporated binders in mass transfer during reactions over shaped catalysts. Herein, we developed a novel route to prepare the monolithic EU-1 zeolite, and used it as an active component of a catalyst for hydroisomerization of ethylbenzene with meta-xylene. Recrystallization of the shaped zeolite precursors composed of incompletely crystallized zeolites with amorphous silica and alumina powders as binders in recycled mother liquor led to formation of the monolithic EU-1 zeolite. Transformation of binder species to a full-zeolitic phase was corroborated comprehensively by characterization methods. Compared with the conventionally fabricated counterpart, the monolithic EU-1 zeolite possessed similar mechanical strength, high crystallinity, and high acidity and, in particular, enhanced mesoporosity, which led to improved catalytic performances in hydroisomerization reactions. Our developed synthetic strategy provides an effective way to produce the monolithic EU-1 zeolite, but is also a reference for the sustainable production of other types of zeolitic materials for energy-related applications.

NaGdF4:Ce,Eu,Tb nanocrystals were successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method with Ce3+ ions as sensitizers, Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions as activators, and polyethylenimine (PEI) as surfactants. Color-adjustable fluorescence emission was achieved by the energy transfer effect between rare earth ions. Blue fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CDs) with a double UV response under 254 nm and 365 nm excitation were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. A hydrophilic NaGdF4:Ce,Eu,Tb/CD composite ink was prepared by an easy physical mixing method. Because of the electrostatic self-assembly effect, the color adjustable luminescence was achieved in a few seconds, and the white light emission with color coordinates of (0.32, 0.32) was obtained. A dual-mode luminescence anti-counterfeiting pattern was designed and achieved by excitation with ultraviolet light at 254 nm and 365 nm.

As we all know, excessive hypochlorite will be transformed into highly toxic substances, while insufficient hypochlorite can not completely kill bacteria and viruses in water. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a new analytical method to detect ClO - in environmental water. Here, a novel and simple fluorescence sensor was constructed for monitoring ClO - by an effective strategy. An Acriflavine@lanthanide metal-organic framework (Acr@Eu(BTEC)) was designed by covalently integrating amino-rich dye (Acr) and carboxyl-rich Eu(BTEC) via post-synthesis method. The created fluorescence sensor has two emission centers originating from Acr and Eu(BTEC), respectively. In the presence of ClO - , the strong green fluorescence derived from Acr was significantly quenched, while the invariant red emission from Eu 3+ acted as the reference signal. Thus, Acr@Eu(BTEC) with two emissions was developed as a ratiometric fluorescence sensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of ClO - . The limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 10.75 nM. Moreover, visual detection of ClO - by the naked eyes is feasible with obvious fluorescent color changes from green to orange and then red. This method shows excellent performance in practical application, which suggests that it has great potential in water quality monitoring.

As the basic units of proteins, the importance of amino acids in organisms is self-evident and therefore detection of the concentration of amino acids is significant in monitoring human health. Herein, a dual-responsive Eu3+-functionalized metal–organic framework (MOFs) luminescent film (1@SA) was designed and prepared, which not only realizes the simultaneous detection of aspartic acid (Asp) and arginine (Arg) but also has the possibility of being applied in anti-counterfeiting. A portable film sensor is obtained through the cross-linking and solidification of Eu3+ ions and sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel containing uniformly dispersed MOFs. The MOF used in this work is a zinc metal–organic framework (ZnMOF) comprising uncoordinated carboxyl groups that can provide binding sites for Eu3+ ions. Moreover, it is found that the sensor shows unique fluorescence changes under the stimulation of an acidic environment. Therefore, the quantitative detection of Asp and Arg by 1@SA can be achieved, and optical anti-counterfeiting platforms are also designed according to the diversity of fluorescence changes. The new strategy proposed in this work may broaden the scope of lanthanide fluorescence films used in optical fields.

Electrochromic capacitors are attracting a huge attention due to their dual functions in energy-saving and energy storage. Electrochromic and energy storage performance of the films could be effectively improved through regulating their physical phase and morphology. In the present work, the physical phase and morphology of the WO 3 nanofilms were regulated by doping RE ions (RE = Ce, Eu, Sm, Gd) using one-step hydrothermal technology. The three-dimensional (3D) urchin-like crystal WO 3 nanofilm would transfer into the 3D nest-like WO 3 (WO 3 -RE) nanofilms that consisted of crystal and amorphous phase by doping RE ions. Compared with the pure WO 3 nanofilm, the WO 3 -RE nanofilms exhibited higher optical contrast, faster switching speed, longer cyclic stability, and larger areal capacitance owing to faster ions transfer rate and more stable film structure. The optical contrast of WO 3 -Eu and WO 3 -Sm nanofilms were 76.3% and 73.8% at 633 nm, 75.5% and 74.6% at 900 nm wavelength, respectively. Notably, the WO 3 -Eu and WO 3 -Sm nanofilms could retain 99.6% and 99.1% of their original optical contrasts after 1000 cycles, respectively. Additionally, the areal capacitance of ECDs based on the WO 3 /PB, WO 3 -Ce/PB, WO 3 -Eu/PB, WO 3 -Sm/PB, and WO 3 -Gd/PB were 26.15, 49.27, 58.23, 71.46, and 79.52 mF/cm 2 at 0.3 mA/cm 2 , respectively. ECDs based on the WO 3 -RE/PB are promising for energy-saving and energy storage dual functional smart windows.

Abstract l-Cysteine (Cys) levels are linked to many health issues and serve as critical diagnostic criteria for various diseases. However, their highly specific recognition and determination from complex biological matrices remain challenging due to interference from biothiol-containing analogs, such as homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH). Herein, by strategically positioning eight aldehyde groups at the periphery of a dinuclear Eu(III) helicate, we achieved the specific determination of l-Cys via an induced negative circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signal (gmax ≈ −1.22, 595 nm). 1H NMR and ESI-MS combined with single-crystal X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations revealed that the size match between the periphery pocket in the helicate and the thiazolidine ring formed by l-Cys and aldehyde cyclization contributed to this CPL response, which creates a large energy difference (∼37.6 kcal/mol) between diastereoisomers and a M-helical preference. While the L-Hcy only resulted in a weak and positive signal (glum ≈ 0.15) due to the larger ring size, the GSH was CPL silent due to the non-cyclization reaction. Benefiting from the large glum value, the probe exhibited the high sensitivity for l-Cys in water or bovine serum albumin (BSA), with a detection limit lower than 8.11 × 10–7 M. Additionally, to facilitate commercial applications, a “test strip-like” hydrogel hybrid film was prepared, which still retains sensing capability to l-Cys. This work therefore provides a strategy for l-Cysteine detection by virtue of induced helical chirality of metallosupramolecules and strong lanthanide CPL.

Heavy metal pollutants seriously threaten people’s health. A sensitive, selective, and responsive method for the detection of heavy metal ions is necessary. Herein, flexible robust europium complex/cellulose acetate nanofiber (Eu/CA NF) luminescent membranes were prepared by the electrospinning method. The tensile length of this nanofiber membrane, which can be used in a variety of force scenarios, can be increased by 130% of its original length. These Eu/CA NFs showed unique specificity and good sensitivity in detecting Hg 2+ with its low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.09 μM and a specific recognition of Hg 2+ with a quenching rate of 97.32%. In addition, Eu/CA NF nanofibers were recyclable even after 50 times washing treatment. This study provides a convenient and effective super-sensitive detection thought for a trace amount of Hg 2+ in various water environments.

The porous Eu(TTA) 3 (TPPO) 2 /SnO 2 (ETTS, TTA: 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate and TPPO : triphenylphosphine oxide) composite was prepared via sol-gel method with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as catalyst which showed the cumulate litchi shell-like structure. The Eu(TTA) 3 (TPPO) 2 organic complexes (ETT) could be absolutely distributed into the pores of the SnO 2 matrix at the molecular level through sol-gel process. SiO 2 was used as the hard template which was removed to increase porosity during the prepared process. The red emission of ETTS was exhibited under the 368 nm excitation light, and much better luminescence properties was shown after washing off SiO 2 (ETTS-W) which was about 4 times of unwashed ETTS (ETTS-UW) and 15.6 times of ETT for 615 nm emission when Eu content was 6 wt%. The excellent luminescence property of ETTS-W samples was mainly attributed to the organic ligands, the pore structure after removing SiO 2 and stronger ultraviolet absorption capacity of SnO 2 matrix.
