Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIB) have become a research hotspot for energy storage systems (ESS) in recent years due to some advantages such as their low risk and low cost. However, the structural collapse during charging and discharging affects the reversibility of the battery , which is a very serious blow to manganese-based materials and will affect their subsequent development in batteries. Therefore, β-MnO 2 cathode materials doped by the rare earth element europium (Eu) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method . Compared with β-MnO 2 , Eu-doped MnO 2 possessed a high specific capacity of 409 mA h g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 . The initial specific capacity of Eu-doped MnO 2 at 1 A g −1 was 200.23 mA h g −1 and the maximum discharge specific capacity of 254 mA h g −1 was reached at 128 cycles. The energy storage mechanism of the electrodes was investigated by ex-situ XRD and ex-situ XPS tests. It was found that Eu element doping to β-MnO 2 not only maintains the stability of the crystal structure during redox reaction, but also promotes the embedding reaction of H + /Zn 2+ . The combination of rare earth elements Eu and MnO 2 is a new direction in the development path of aqueous zinc ion batteries.

The controllable synthesis of MOF materials is of great significance for its application. At present, the regulation of MOF morphology is mainly limited to those composed of transition metal elements, such as IRMOF, ZIF-8, HKUST-1, UiO-66, and MIL-MOFs etc, and few reports about the fabrication of micro/nano sized lanthanide MOFs could be found in literature. In this paper, micron sized Eu-1,4-NDC-fcu-MOF octahedral particles were obtained via a modified solvothermal method by using methylamine as a modulator. The luminous efficiency of Eu3+ was greatly improved due to the efficient energy transfer from the 1,4-NDC ligand to rare earth ion. The resultant Eu-1,4-NDC-fcu-MOFs particles could be used to detect benzidine in ethanol solution effectively, and as the concentration of benzidine increased, the fluorescence intensity of Eu-1,4-NDC-fcu-MOFs gradually decreased. Due to the good stability, high luminescent intensity and excellent sensitivity, this work further demonstrates that Ln-MOF are ideal fluorescent probes to identify specific molecules.

A simple and effective strategy has been carried out to design a ratiometric temperature sensor in this work. Carbon dots (CDs), which benefit from surface methoxysilyl groups after using an organosilane as a coordinating solvent, are highly reactive intermediates responsible for bonding with silanols and hydroxyl groups from the silica-coated SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy phosphor (SAO). Hence, a CD-grafted SrAl2O4:Eu,Dy phosphor (CD–SAO) could be realized using a facile one-step sol–gel method. The as-prepared CD–SAO shows the characteristic fluorescence emissions of CDs (blue) and SAO (green) at a single excitation wavelength. The temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratios for the two emission bands was studied, and it turned out that the composite has a wide linear temperature sensing range, which matches well with physiologically relevant temperatures. This rather simple approach for creating dual emission enables a completely new strategy for the application of these composites in temperature sensing.

The discovery of Eu 2+ -doped high-efficiency red phosphors remains a vital challenge for white light-emitting diode (WLED) applications. It is therefore urgent to find effective strategies managing the oxidation state to help reduce Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ and accordingly increase the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Herein, a new red-emitting SrLaScO 4 :Eu phosphor is designed, and the PLQY is enhanced from 13% to 67% under 450 nm excitation by employing (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 -assisted sintering. Combined structural analysis, optical spectroscopy, and theoretical calculation reveal that predominant Eu 2+ prefers to occupy the Sr 2+ sites in the SrLaScO 4 enabling red emission, and a competitive site occupation of Eu 3+ in La 3+ can be restrained, and the reduction mechanism of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ originating from the (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 addition is analyzed. The fabricated WLED device using red-emitting SrLaScO 4 :Eu and yellow-emitting Y 3 (Al,Ga) 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ exhibits a high color-rendering index of 86.7 at a low correlated color temperature of 4005 K. This work provides a feasible reduction strategy for guiding the development of high-efficiency Eu 2+ -doped red phosphor for WLED applications.

The development of a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for monitoring antibiotic residues is crucial for maintaining food safety. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence probe based on bimetallic organic framework (Eu/Zr-MOF) was developed for the detection of tetracycline (TC). The Eu/Zr-MOF was synthesized by the coordination of Eu 3+ and Zr 4+ with 2-APDC, which exhibited a grape-like cluster morphology and dual-emitting fluorescence at 430 nm/616 nm. Based on the internal filtering effect (IFE), significant fluorescence quenching was observed at 430 nm, whereas only slight changes occurred at 616 nm. The ratiometric sensing offered two broad linear ranges (0.5–8 μg/mL; 10–60 μg/mL) and a low detection limit (26.7 ng/mL). The proposed method was applied to the determination of TC in pork and water samples. Fluorescent sensors have the advantages of simple design, fast response, and high sensitivity, thus providing a promising means for evaluating the safety of food contaminated with TC.

The presence of methyl orange (MO) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are widely studied as photocatalysts for wastewater treatment. However, TiO2 NPs have the drawbacks of high energy required for activation, fast electron–hole pair recombination and difficulty in recovering from water. To overcome these problems, europium decorated titanium dioxide/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (Eu–TiO2/PVDF) membranes were successful prepared in this work by combining the modified sol–gel method and the immersion phase inversion method. The Eu–TiO2/PVDF membranes obtained with the increase of Eu–TiO2 NPs content during the preparation process were named M1, M2 and M3, respectively. The pure PVDF membrane without the addition of Eu–TiO2 NPs was named M0, which was prepared by the immersion phase inversion method and served as a reference. The prepared Eu–TiO2/PVDF membranes could not only adsorb MO, but also degrade CIP under visible-light irradiation. Moreover, the Eu–TiO2/PVDF membranes exhibited adsorption–photocatalytic activity towards a mixture of MO and CIP under visible-light irradiation. Last but not the least, the Eu–TiO2/PVDF membranes exhibited excellent recyclability and reusability, opening the avenue for a possible use of these membranes in sewage-treatment plants.

Here, a novel fluorescent carbon dots (CDs)@Eu-2, 6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) was synthesized by encapsulating CDs into the Eu-DPA MOFs for the detection of Cu 2+ . The as-prepared CDs@Eu-DPA MOFs fluorescent probe was investigated by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed the CDs@Eu-DPA MOFs exhibited the uniform ball-flower-like nanostructures and were very stable in aqueous solution due to their nanoscaled size and the ball-flower-like nanostructures. The CDs@Eu-DPA MOFs could emit two kinds of fluorescence which originated from CDs and Eu-DPA MOFs, respectively under a single wavelength excitation at 275 nm. In the presence of Cu 2+ , the fluorescence of Eu-DPA MOFs decreased and the fluorescence of CDs kept constant to result in ratiometric fluorescent response toward Cu 2+ when they were used as the recognition parts and the reference, respectively. The obtained CDs@Eu-DPA MOFs for the detection of Cu 2+ showed a wide linear range (50 nM–10 μM) and a low detection limit (26.3 nM) with high sensitivity, stability and selectivity. The work provides a good method to construct fluorescent sensors based on MOFs.

Sphere-shape Eu(DBM) 3 Phen@SiO 2 nanoparticles were fabricated by employing a modified alkaline catalyzed hydrolysis and precipitation method. The silica coated on the particles surface was obtained by means of hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). In this study, the particles morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the surface composition of samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It is confirmed that the SiO 2 shell has been coated on the rare earth complexes successfully. Moreover, the near-infrared photoluminescence emission analysis on the nanoparticles showed that the SiO 2 shell would increase the luminescence intensity of Eu(DBM) 3 Phen. This is primarily due to the reason that SiO 2 shell with chemical inertness can effectively reduce the ion Eu 3+ non-radiation transition probabilities, as well as the probability of rare earth luminescence quenching caused by the external medium.

Ribavirin (RBV) in food and environmental samples presents significant risks to human health, necessitating the development of methods capable of its simultaneous detection and adsorption. This study describes the preparation of a multi-functional molecularly imprinted material (Nylon@Eu-MOF@MIPs), achieved through in-situ growth of Eu-MOF with fluorescence properties on a nylon membrane, designed for the concurrent adsorption and detection of RBV. The material demonstrates high adsorption capacity for RBV (41.36 mg g −1 ), a pronounced imprinting effect (imprinting factor of 3.06), and substantial sensitivity (detection limit of 0.01 μM). Furthermore, following ten adsorption–desorption cycles, Nylon@Eu-MOF@MIPs retain effective adsorption capacity, with a minimal loss of 5.8 %. Additionally, a filtration-enhanced adsorption and detection mode is proposed, achieving a 1.63-fold increase in adsorption capacity compared to the traditional soaking method. The integrated platform developed in this study facilitates efficient adsorption and visual detection of RBV. This research not only advances membrane separation materials but also establishes foundational conditions for creating integrated systems for simultaneous adsorption and visual detection.

High entropy oxides are novel materials with diverse compositions that have received significant interest for their mechanical and photocatalytic properties. In this study, we enhanced the mechanical and photocatalytic performance of solid state fabricated high entropy oxide (La 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Gd 0.2 Y 0.2 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 through Eu doping. Samples doped with different Eu ion concentrations demonstrated good thermal stability under high temperature without phase transformation after sintering at 1500 °C. We performed high pressure X -ray diffraction measurements and found that bulk modulus and critical pressure were improved by approximately 30 GPa and 5 GPa, respectively. This significant compression difference confirmed that Eu doping enhanced structural stability under high pressure. (La 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Gd 0.2 Y 0.2 ) 1.98 Eu 0.02 Zr 2 O 7 demonstrated the best photocatalytic performance, with a kinetic constant about 1.5 times that of undoped samples. The appropriate doping concentration, smaller grain size and wider light absorption range contribute to the better photocatalytic performance irradiated under UV light. This work provides valuable insights for the design and improvement of high entropy oxide mechanical and photocatalytic performance. Graphical abstract

An intrinsic Eu(III) luminescence phenomenon of Eu(III) complex was found under near-infrared light (NIRL) excitation of xenon lamp, and the maximum excitation wavelength is about twice the excitation wavelength of its Stokes fluorescence. The NIRL excitation fluorescence was mainly originated from second order diffracted light (SODL) excitation. The Eu(III) complex was consist of Eu(III), Gd(III), 2-trifluoroacetylacetone (TTA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Curcumin (Cur) could notably quench the luminescence intensity of the Eu(III) complex. Based on this, a sensitive method for Cur detection was developed. Under optimum conditions, the decrease extent in the fluorescence intensity at 611 nm exhibited a good linear relationship with the Cur concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10 −9 mol/L - 6.0 × 10 −8 mol/L under 746 nm excitation, the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) was 5.2 × 10 −10 mol/L. While, the linear relationship and the LOD of Stokes fluorescence method ( λ ex / λ em = 360/611 nm) were found to be 1.0 × 10 −8 mol/L - 6.0 × 10 −8 mol/L and 2.6 × 10 −9 mol/L, respectively. The former method is superior to the latter one in Cur detection. Both two methods were successfully applied to determine Cur in real samples. The luminescence mechanism of Eu(III) complex under the NIRL excitation and the quenching mechanism of Cur on the Eu(III) fluorescence was also investigated.

A series of MnEuOx catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method and used for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH 3 . It was found that the modification of MnOx catalyst by Eu with a Eu/Mn molar ratio of 0.1 could greatly enhance its SCR activity and broaden its operating temperature window, accompanied by good resistance to SO 2 and H 2 O. From the characterization results of N 2 adsorption, XRD, XPS, H 2 -TPR, it could be concluded that the larger surface area resulted from the inhibited crystallization of MnOx, the enrichment of surface Mn 4+ and chemisorbed oxygen, and the higher reducibility all made a contribution to the high SCR activity of MnEuOx-0.1 catalyst. Furthermore, the results of in situ DRIFTS study revealed the NH 3 -SCR reactions over MnOx and MnEuOx-0.1 were mainly controlled by L-H mechanism (<150 °C) and E-R mechanism (>150 °C) respectively, and the contribution of E–R mechanism became more important with increasing reaction temperature. The enhanced NO oxidation and NH 3 adsorption should be mainly contribute to the distinguished SCR performance of MnEuOx catalyst in the lower temperature range (<150 °C) and higher temperature range (>150 °C) respectively.
