CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals have been investigated as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction owing to their excellent light-harvesting and multi-exciton generation. However, under strong illumination, Pb2+ migration and reduction to metallic Pb0 cause lattice collapse and accelerated carrier recombination, severely limiting their stability and photocatalytic performance. Here, we developed a dynamic valence regulation approach using Eu2+/Eu3+ redox couple to enhance lattice stability and improve photocatalytic performance by suppressing Pb2+ migration and Pb0 exsolution, modulating phonon coupling, and prolonging hot-carrier lifetimes. Experimental analyses suggest that Eu incorporation, together with mixed Eu valence states, is associated with improved lattice stability and reduced Pb-related destabilization under photocatalytic conditions. Moreover, Eu incorporation strengthens lattice rigidity and reduces electron–phonon coupling, which collectively slows down the thermalization of hot carriers. Transient absorption spectroscopy indicates a nearly 4-fold extension in hot-carrier lifetime compared to the pristine counterpart. As a result, the Eu-modified CsPbBr3 exhibits a 6-fold enhancement in CO2-to-CO conversion activity (300 ± 5 mmol·m−2) and maintains over 80% of its activity after continuous operation for 60 h. This work proposes a synergistic redox-lattice-carrier regulation mechanism, providing insights into the rational design of metal halide perovskite photocatalysts.

Ultrathin scintillators are key components of high-spatial-resolution X-ray detectors in medical imaging, high-precision nondestructive inspection, and high-energy physics. Currently, the spatial resolution of X-ray imaging detector generally is enabled by high-light-yield scintillators with minimal optical scattering. However, suppressing optical scattering losses typically require the scintillation layers thinner than a few tens of micrometers, which is difficult to obtain through conventional top-down mechanical thinning. Here, a bottom-up method that rapidly growing inch-sized, Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ doped lanthanide oxychloride (LaOCl) films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is proposed to obtain large-area ultrathin scintillators. The doping Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ ions act as luminescent activators and provide strong red and green scintillation through efficient f-f intra-configurational transitions, which are shielded from the host lattice by the outer 5s 2 5p 6 electron shells, resulting in sharp emission lines and high quantum efficiency. The layered crystal structure of LaOCl further facilitates anisotropic growth, enabling precise control of film thickness from a few atomic layers up to the micrometer scale. The growing LaOCl:Eu 3+ film with thickness of approximately 30 μm shows a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 99.3%, and demonstrating an ultralow X-ray dose-rate detection limit of 143.41 nGy s −1 , owing to efficient energy transfer from the LaOCl host to the activator ions. Furthermore, the growing LaOCl:Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ films exhibit excellent linear response and radiation hardness under X-ray exposure, retaining above 95% of their initial intensity after prolonged cyclic irradiation at 27.8 μGy s −1 for 24,000 s. These results demonstrate CVD-grown LaOCl:Ln films as a promising platform for high-resolution and low-dose X-ray imaging detection. An ultrathin scintillator film is fabricated via an unconventional bottom-up chemical vapor deposition–driven evaporation growth method. The oriented attachment and layer-by-layer stacking of LaOCl:Ln 3+ crystal nuclei enables the fabrication of centimeter-scale ultrathin films with controllable thickness. The doping Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ act as luminescent activators, generating intense red and green emissions through efficient 4f-4f intra-configurational transitions. Owing to the effective shielding of the outer 5s 2 5p 6 electron shells, these transitions exhibit sharp emission lines and exceptionally high quantum efficiency. For LaOCl:Eu 3+ films with a thickness of approximately 30 μm, the photoluminescence quantum yields achieves a near unit of 99.3%, demonstrating an ultralow X-ray detection limits of 143.41 nGy s −1 and outstanding radiation stability.

In this paper, a series of Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 :Yb 3+ /Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ phosphor are prepared by solid-state reaction. The up-conversion(UC)/down-shifting(DS) luminescence properties are investigated in detail. The intensities of all emission bands present luminescence thermal enhancement under 980 nm excitation. From 293 to 493 K, the red emission intensity of Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 :Yb 3+ /Eu 3+ sample increase by 2.36 times, and the green emission band intensity of Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 :Yb 3+ /Tb 3+ sample increase by 4.85 times. The temperature-dependent cooperative energy transfer(CET) process of Yb 3+ ions has an important contribution to thermal enhancement due to the negative thermal expansion(NTE) of Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 matrix. In addition, the optical temperature sensing properties of the Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 :Yb 3+ /Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ phosphor are discussed according to the luminescence intensity ratio(LIR) technique. Zn 3 Mo 2 O 9 :Yb 3+ /Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ phosphor can obtain bright deep red, yellow and orange light under the excitation of 395, 487 and 980 nm, which is used for multi-mode fluorescence anti-counterfeiting.

Eu-COF was synthesized via a one-pot room-temperature method for the first time. • Dipicolinic acid triggered the emission of Eu 3+ and quench the fluorescence of COF, achieving its ratiometric detection. • The method is extendable to the fabrication of various Ln-COFs. A novel Eu 3+ -functionalized covalent organic framework (Eu-COF) was synthesized via a one-pot room-temperature Schiff base condensation between 2,5-diethoxybenzene-1,4-dicarbohydrazide (DEDH) and tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)ethylene (TFPE), breaking away from the traditional “synthesize first, modify later” strategy. The COF not only provided abundant anchoring sites for Eu 3+ ions, but also served as fluorescence reference. Dipicolinic acid (DPA) transferred energy to Eu 3+ via the antenna effect, triggering the characteristic emission of Eu 3+ at 619 nm, while the characteristic emission peak of COF at 556 nm was simultaneously reduced due to the photoinduced electron transfer and inner filter effect between COF and DPA, which led to the fluorescence quenching of COF, achieving the ratiometric detection of DPA. The synthesized Eu-COF exhibits a good linearity in the range of 0–100 μM, with a detection limit of 0.52 μM. This study pioneers the first one-pot room-temperature synthesis method for Eu 3+ -functionalized COFs. Download: Download high-res image (356KB) Download: Download full-size image

Rare earth co-doped phosphor for fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) thermometer has gained increasing attention in recent years. Herein, the novel Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ co-doped K 3 SrBi(P 2 O 7 ) 2 (KSBP) phosphate phosphors were reported. The crystal structure of the title phosphor was determined using Rietveld refinement and proved to have a three-dimensional structure. The time-resolved spectroscopy reveals that there is almost no energy transfer between Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ . More importantly, Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ emissions show different thermal quenching behaviors, which claims the potential of this material for application in optical thermometer. The FIR of the typical KSBP:0.02Tb3+,0.04Eu3+ sample demonstrates a polynomial relationship as a function of temperature and the absolute and relative sensitivity are 0.025 K –1 and 0.59%/K, respectively. In general, our study reports a novel and potential KSBP:Tb 3+ ,Eu 3+ phosphate phosphor that is promising for use in high-sensitive FIR thermometers.

The development of advanced luminescent materials is highly desirable for developing the energy-efficient lighting technology. However, it is still challenging to achieve stable full-color tuning in the same matrix upon a single-beam light excitation so as to ensure the high color stability and consistency. Herein, Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous glass via the dipping strategy is fabricated, which can emit blue, green and red emissions simultaneously by simply modifying the thermal treatment temperature. This full-color tuning is attributed to the dual roles of the thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ in Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass and simultaneous emissions of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ activators. The densification of nanoporous glass via sintering could effectively decrease the amount of hydroxyl groups that present in the glass matrix, resulting in 5 times enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity and longer photoluminescence lifetime of rare earth (RE) ions. The thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ is due to the reduction environment provided by Al 3+ ions in the Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass. The energy transfer (ET) from Eu 2+ to Tb 3+ , Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ have been investigated in detail. Based on the ET mechanism, rational PL spectra design was demonstrated by varying the concentration of Eu 3+ ions in solution. The Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) and the Color Rendered Index (CRI) values of the white light emission glass are 7420 K (Cold-white emission) and 80.85, the temperature dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) analysis reflects the white light emission glass possesses high thermal stability and excellent thermal restorability. This facile fabrication and full-color tuning of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass may provide a novel luminescent material for white-light emitting diodes (WLEDs) application.

Herein, size-controllable spherical yttrium carbonate powders with D 50 in range from 225 to 743 nm are synthesized from Y(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O and urea. With the rise of the concentration ratio of urea/Y 3+ , temperature, and extension of aging time, diameter of yttrium carbonate spheres increases. When the urea/Y 3+ is 40: 1 and ages for 4 h at 90 °C, the D 50 of synthesized powder, which has been determined as Y(OH)CO 3 ·1.3H 2 O, has the largest D 50 of 743 nm with (D 90 –D 10 )/2D 50 of 0.22. After decomposition, the D 50 of formed Y 2 O 3 decreases to 632 nm, the (D 90 –D 10 )/2D 50 is 0.24, and the D 50 of Y 2 O 3 is in the range of 126–632 nm. Then, 6 mol. % Eu 3+ is homogeneously doped into Y(OH)CO 3 ·1.3H 2 O and Y 2 O 3 : Eu 3+ spherical powder is obtained after roasting, which exhibits a strong emission peak at 613 nm. The developed synthetic method and the obtained size-controllable spherical Y(OH)CO 3 ·1.3H 2 O, Y 2 O 3 , and Y 2 O 3 : Eu 3+ with a uniform size distribution own various potential applications.

In the field of luminescent materials, the search for good substrates and the use of a single substrate to excite near-ultraviolet chips to produce white LED devices has always been of great interest. This study utilized energy transfer between Bi 3+ and Eu 3+ to design KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Bi 3+ , 0.04Eu 3+ red emission phosphors with a potassium nepheline structure, which were calcined in air with a high-temperature solid-state method. Under 286 nm excitation, energy transfer between Bi 3+ and Eu 3+ up to 85.9 %. Through DFT theoretical calculations, it was found that the bandgap of the matrix was 4.86 eV, KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Bi 3+ , 0.04Eu 3+ has excellent heat quenching resistance, and the emission intensity at 150 °C is 92.9 % of that seen at room temperature . Second, by doping with Eu 2 O 3 and calcining in a reducing atmosphere, KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Eu 2+ , 0.1Li + broadband blue emitting phosphors were obtained. Finally, KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Bi 3+ , 0.04Eu 3+ was mixed with KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Eu 2+ , 0.1Li + to prepare a near-ultraviolet white LED device. The color rendering index of the device reached 87.1, the color coordinates were (0.3328, 0.3015), and the color temperature was 5422 K. These results proved that KAlSiO 4 : 0.02Bi 3+ , 0.04Eu 3+ samples have potential for use in near-ultraviolet white LEDs and that KAlSiO 4 is a good substrate in the field of luminescence. This work provides a new breakthrough in the use of a single substrate to prepare multiple colored fluorescent powders and mix them together to produce white LED devices.

A series of new red phosphors Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : x Eu 3+ was synthesized by the high temperature solid phase reaction method. Through employing X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope , photoluminescence spectroscopy, quantum efficiency curves and high-precision rapid spectrometers, a systematic investigation was conducted on the microstructure and optical characteristics of the material. The XRD analysis of Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : x Eu 3+ shows the sample to be a pure phase. The spectroscopic results show the presence of a red emission peak originated from 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition, and the quenching mechanism is attributed to interaction between nearest neighboring ions. Under 423 K, the fluorescence intensity of Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : 0.2Eu 3+ phosphor can still maintain 94.82 % of the value observed at 298 K, and the thermal activation energy Δ E reaches up to 0.3543 eV. The CCT of the LED packaged with Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : 0.2Eu 3+ was measured to be 4314 K, with the CIE coordinates (0.3658, 0.3600), which is very close to the point of standard white light source. The quantum efficiency of Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : 0.2Eu 3+ was measured to be 82.92 %. All results indicate that Na 2 BaCa(PO 4 ) 2 : 0.2Eu 3+ is suitable for WLED applications.

In this work, a designed porous DNA crystal with high intrinsic biocompatibility was used as the scaffold material to load fluorescent guest molecules to detect anti-cancer drugs. It is shown here that the synthesized crystals have the characteristics consistent with the designed large solvent channels, and can therefore accommodate guest molecules such as fluorescent proteins that cannot be accommodated by less porous crystals. Eu(TTA)3phen and Tb(acac)3phen lanthanide complexes were individually noncovalently loaded into the porous crystals, resulting in hybrid luminescent DNA crystals. Emodin, an anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory drug, was found to quench lanthanide complexes in solution or in crystals. Notably, emodin is the active ingredient of Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, an anti-COVID-19 drug candidate. Therefore, the porous DNA crystals reported here have potential applications as a biocompatible and theranostic delivery biomaterial for functional macromolecules.

Tetracyclines (TCs), a type of antibiotics, are widely used in human therapy and animal husbandry. Public concerns about tetracyclines residues have been raised due to their negative impact on the environment and food, causing bacterias drug resistance and human health concerns. In this work, a luminescent europium MOF ( EuUCBA ) is constructed via post-synthetic attachment of Eu 3+ into a UiO-66 type MOF. The luminescent of EuUCBA exhibits high stability in aqueous media in the pH range of 4–11. Among 36 common veterinary drugs, the synthesized probe is highly selective and sensitive to six tetracyclines with low detection limits of 0.118 μM, 0.228 μM, 0.102 μM, 0.138 μM, 0.206 μM, and 0.078 μM for oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC), methylenetetracycline (MTC), minocycline (MOC), tetracycline (TC), and doxycycline (DOXY), respectively. Furthermore, the probe shows good anti-interference ability and fast response. Finally, EuUCBA was successfully to detect DOXY in swine wastewater and pig kidney with good recoveries. This work provides an excellent fluorescent sensor for highly selective and rapid detection of TCs residues in wastewater and complex biological samples.

In this work, using Ca 10.5 (PO 4 ) 7 as the structural model, a number of Eu 3+ -doped [Ca 9 Na 3x Y 1-x (PO 4 ) 7 (CNYP-I, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2) ← Ca 10.5 (PO 4 ) 7 → Ca 9+y Na 3/2-y/2 Y (1-y)/2 (PO 4 ) 7 (CNYP-II, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1)] phosphors were designed and synthesized through the heterovalent substitution of Y 3+ and Na + to Ca 2+ . The substitution mechanism, composition structure, luminescence performance, and thermal stability of Eu 3+ -doped CNYP-I (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2) as well as the solid solutions of CNYP-II (0 ≤ y ≤ 1), were discussed in detail. The morphology and element composition of CNYP-I (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2) and CNYP-II (0 ≤ y ≤ 1) solid solutions were analyzed by SEM and EDS. The PL spectra of the specimens were containing the predominant red peak of emission at 612 nm caused via the transition of 5 D 0 - 7 F 2 , indicating that Eu 3+ occupies the low-symmetry center. Moreover, the site symmetry Eu 3+ occupied changed with the x/y value. The luminous intensity of Eu 3+ -doped CNYP-I (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/2) and CNYP-II (0 ≤ y ≤ 1) phosphors at 150°C maintained about 60% of room temperature. The representative compound CNYP-I (x = 1/3) was used as the red phosphor to prepare a near-UV based white LEDs along with Ra of 80.9 and CCT of 4100 K.
