In this study, the 500 keV He–ion irradiation effects were systematically analyzed in Sr 0.5 Zr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 –Ce 0.5 Sm 0.5 PO 4 composite ceramics used for nuclear waste form. The phase evolution was investigated at various ion doses of 1 × 10 16 , 1 × 10 17 , and 5 × 10 17 ions/cm² using GIXRD, Raman. Meanwhile, the irradiation effects at various depths of 100 nm, 1500 nm and 3000 nm in the typical sample with an ions dose of 5 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 were further observed through FIB–TEM and SEM. The results indicated that Sr 0.5 Zr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase transitioned from crystalline to amorphous state, while Ce 0.5 Sm 0.5 PO 4 phase exhibited crystalline–disorder transition. Furthermore, the microscopic strain changes of both post–irradiated phases were assessed by a geometric phase analysis (GPA) method, which revealed that Sr 0.5 Zr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase accumulated more lattice stress than Ce 0.5 Sm 0.5 PO 4 phase. Ultimately, this study confirmed that the irradiation resistance of Sr 0.5 Zr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase under He–ion irradiation was inferior to that of Ce 0.5 Sm 0.5 PO 4 phase.

Improving energy storage density and efficiency of antiferroelectric materials could promote their use within energy storage field, particularly in the context of pulsed power sources. In this study, Sm and Hf co-doped silver niobate (AgNbO 3 ; AN) ceramics were prepared using traditional solid-state method. Comprehensive analysis of crystal structure, microstructure, defects, absorbance, and energy storage performance of the material was conducted. Results reveal that co-doping increased the concentration of cation vacancies and band gap, decreased the M 1 –M 2 and M 2 –M 3 phase transition temperatures, and enhanced the antiferroelectric phase stability and energy storage performance. The (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited energy storage density of 5.35 J/cm 3 and energy storage efficiency of 73% at electric field ( E ) of 295 kV/cm, demonstrating significant improvement. The (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited excellent thermal stability (<5% in the range of 25 °C-125 °C) and frequency stability (<3% in the range of 1–100 Hz under E = 290 kV/cm). Additionally, the (Ag 0.955 Sm 0.015 )(Nb 0.95 Hf 0.05 )O 3 ceramic exhibited ultrahigh discharge speed (∼18 μs) and high discharge energy density (4.9 J/cm 3 ). These advantages make these ceramics promising materials for energy storage applications.

With the development of sodium ion battery which is considered as the alternative of lithium ion battery, better performance is required. However, its poor structure stability and rate capability due to the Jahn–Teller distortion of Mn 3+ and poor charge transfer between transition metal and oxygen-ion limit its application. Here, Sm-doped P2-type layered oxide Na 0.67 Li 0.1 Mn 0.62 Fe 0.18 Cu 0.09 Sm 0.01 O 2 with spherical secondary hierarchy was obtained through microwave-assisted method. Pure P2-shaped layered oxide is obtained. And the tiny shift of the diffraction spectrum indicates the effect of doping. The electrochemical performance of the doped oxide improves obviously. Even at a high current density of 1.0A g −1 , the capacity is still as high as 60.3 mAh g −1 , much higher than that of undoped one. The cycle stability is also improved. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Distribution of relaxation times (DRT) are taken to further study the mechanism. It reveals that the doped samarium not only serves as the pillar to stable the structure of the layered oxide, but also makes faster charge transfer between transition metal ions and oxide ions due to the Multielectron structure of samarium. Thus, such Sm-doping strategy may offer a solution toward the application bottleneck of layered oxides for sodium-ion batteries.

A series of rare earth Sm 3 + -doped BaTiO 3 (BTO: x Sm 3 + ) samples were prepared in this work through high-temperature solid-state reaction. Their microstructure, photoluminescence, optical, and electrocatalytic OER properties were studied. As the concentration of Sm 3 + ions increased, there was a concentration dependent increase in luminescence intensity and optical bandgap. Rare earth doping significantly reduced the OER overpotential (from 509 mV to 316 mV), and under near-ultraviolet excitation at 408 nm, an orange-red emission ( λ e m = 595 nm) was observed. The results indicate that the prepared materials are suitable for the design and application of optoelectronic devices.

Mechanical energy can be directly transformed into chemical energy by piezoelectric materials, namely, piezocatalysis, which is a potential tactic for renewable clean energy collection and environmental purification. The piezocatalytic efficiency strongly relies on the piezoelectric property and free charge concentration of piezocatalysts. Here, four samarium-doped (1 – x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 nanostructures were designed to investigate the correlation between the piezoelectric property and piezocatalytic performance. The diverse dye degradation efficiencies confirmed the high piezoelectric coefficient toward high catalytic activity. The degradation efficiency for acid orange 7 (AO7) was 100% within 20 min, while those for methyl orange (MO), methylene blue, and rhodamine B dyes were 97, 78, and 72%, respectively, within 40 min under ultrasonic vibration only. Furthermore, high catalytic efficiency of 96% was still maintained for AO7 degradation after 10 consecutive degradation cycles for samarium-doped 0.70Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.30PbTiO3 due to its high piezoelectric coefficient. The investigation of the catalytic mechanism demonstrated that hole and superoxide radicals were the primary active species toward AO7 degradation, whereas hydroxyl and hole radicals were for MO degradation. This work not only demonstrates the highly efficient catalytic activity of samarium-doped (1 – x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 nanostructures but also gives a deep comprehension of the correlation between the piezoelectric property and catalytic performance of piezocatalysts.

High-quality single crystals with empirical composition Y2.96Sm0.04Ga5O12(YGG: Sm3+) were successfully prepared by the optical floating zone method for the first time and compared with related single crystals of Y2.96Sm0.04Al5O12(YAG: Sm3+). With both crystals, XRD showed that Sm3+entered the cubic-phase structure. Optical absorption spectra produced a series of peaks from Sm3+in the 250 nm to 550 nm range, and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra detected at 613 nm showed strong excitation peaks at 407 nm and 468 nm. A strong emission peak at 611 nm (orange-red light) was observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra under excitations at both 407 and 468 nm, respectively, but it was much brighter under excitation at 407 nm. Furthermore, with both emission spectra, the peaks from the YGG: Sm3+crystal were significantly more intense than those from the YAG: Sm3+crystal, and both experienced a blue shift. In addition, under excitation at 407 nm, the color purity of the emitted orange-red light of YGG: Sm3+was higher than that of the YAG: Sm3+crystal, and the fluorescence lifetime for the4G5/2→6H7/2transition of YGG: Sm3+was longer than that of the YAG: Sm3+crystal. The optical properties of the YGG: Sm3+crystal are better than those of the YAG: Sm3+crystal.

Extending the spectral response from the ultraviolet (UV) to the visible-light range and enhancing the UV-light stability are two remaining challenges for the development of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Lanthanide complexes show a broad absorption range in the UV region and can down convert UV-light into visible-light; thus, they are potentially able to improve the device performance of PSCs. Herein, we report the fabrication of PSCs with a novel samarium (Sm)-based down conversion nanomaterial, Sr2CeO4:Sm3+ (SCOS). In comparison to the control device without a SCOS layer, the SCOS-coated device shows an enhancement of 11.4% in photocurrent and 16.2% in average power conversion efficiency (PCE), due to the harvesting and re-emitting of UV-light in the visible range through the SCOS layer. Significantly, the SCOS-coated devices retain 50% of their initial PCE for 60 hours under continuous UV-light illumination and even after 60 days of storage under ambient environment conditions, whilst for the control device the longevity is 15 hours and 26 days, respectively. The results suggest that the SCOS layer makes an important contribution in terms of both enhanced photovoltaic performance and prolonged device stability by reducing photo-loss and photo-degradation.

Sulfides existing in many gas mixtures of high temperature cases have a negative effect on various industrial applications. In this study, we present samarium-doped cerium (SDC) sorbent to remove H 2 S at high temperature. Compared with pure CeO 2 , the SDC sorbent shows excellent ability in sulfur removal because of the positive effect of the doping of Sm. The H 2 has a negative influence on sulfidation of the SDC sorbent and significantly shortens the breakthrough time, hence breakthrough sulfur capacity (BSC). The carbon monoxide present in the feed gas has no obvious effect on the sulfur-removal performance. A suitable samarium loading in SDC leads to an optimum interaction between metal oxide species and the surface oxygen vacancies , which results in an optimal adsorbed activity of reduced gas (H 2 , H 2 S) and hence desulphurization performance. In addition, the SDC sorbents have a good regenerated ability by a simple calcination process.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production is one of the effective ways of global energy conservation and emission reduction. Herein, we report the successful embedding of flower ball MoS 2 into Sm 2 WO 6 using the hydrothermal method, and p-n heterojunction is obtained successfully. Due to the narrow band gap of MoS 2 , the Sm 2 WO 6 / MoS 2 composite photocatalyst effectively improves the photogenerated carrier separation. The better redox capacity of Sm 2 WO 6 itself also promotes the reduction capacity of Sm 2 WO 6 /MoS 2 . The petals on MoS 2 are closely bound to Sm 2 WO 6 , which enhances the electron transport efficiency and is one of the main factors for improving photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (HER). To explore the performance of Sm 2 WO 6 / MoS 2 by various means of representation. And the HER performance of Sm 2 WO 6 / MoS 2 is evaluated using eosin Y (EY) as sensitizer and TEOA as sacrifice agent. Compared with pure Sm 2 WO 6 , Sm 2 WO 6 / MoS 2 has improved HER performance, and its optimal activity is 142.7 µmol, which is nearly 140 times that of pure Sm 2 WO 6 . This study demonstrates a novel morphology design strategy for composite photocatalysts to promote efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Far-red light plays a crucial role in the field of plant lighting. Herein, a novel far-red phosphor BaAl 2 Si 3 O 4 N 4 : Sm 2+ , which can be effectively excited by blue light, was successfully prepared by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The PL spectrum show a broadband emission range from 600 nm to 950 nm (FWHM = 120 nm), which is well matched with the absorption of P FR in plant. In BaAl 2 Si 3 O 4 N 4 : Sm 2+ , the Ba 2+ are coordinated with three N and six O atoms. When the rare earth ion of Sm 2+ was doped into the host lattice , Ba 2+ was partially replaced by Sm 2+ . The low temperature PL spectra at 8–80 K were studied in detail. It was found that the PL spectra at low temperature were composed of some sharp lines and broadband superposition, which corresponding to the 5 D 0 - 7 F J (J = 0–4) energy level transition of Sm 2+ . It is shown that the broadband emission of the phosphor was caused by the broadening of the 4f 5 5 d 1 energy level due to the strong crystal field effect. The thermal stability analysis showed that the luminescence intensity of BaAl 2 Si 3 O 4 N 4 : Sm 2+ at 150 °C still maintains 62.7 % of that at room temperature , showing excellent thermal stability. All results indicate that BaAl 2 Si 3 O 4 N 4 : Sm 2+ phosphor has important potential applications in the field of plant lighting.

≤ 10 mol%) and CaNb 2 O 6 : Sm 3+ , Na + /B 3+ phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method in air. Their crystal structures and luminescence properties were investigated and analysed, respectively. Host CaNb 2 O 6 emitted blue light with excitation 270 nm. CaNb 2 O 6 : x Sm 3+ phosphors showed a systematically varied hue from blue to white by changing Sm 3+ ion concentration from 0 to 10 mol% with excitation of 270 nm and their chromaticity coordinates were the regions from (0.1665, 0.1767) to (0.2484, 0.2260). Luminescence properties of CaNb 2 O 6 : Sm 3+ phosphor were tuned and improved significantly by codoping B 3+ or Na + ions. Energy transfer between Nb \(_{\mathbf {2}}\textit {O}_{\mathbf {6}}^{\boldsymbol {2-}}\) group and Sm 3+ ion was observed and analysed via luminescence properties. The luminous mechanism was explained by energy level scheme and energy transfer process in CaNb 2 O 6 : Sm 3+ phosphor. The strong excitation band peaking at ∼ 407 nm indicated that the CaNb 2 O 6 : Sm 3+ , Na + /B 3+ phosphor has a potential application in white light-emitting diodes based on near-UV LED chip.

Piezoelectric materials have wide commercial applications involving our everyday lives. The common categorized “soft” and “hard” piezoelectric materials have distinct even contradictory performance parameters typically exemplified by piezoelectric coefficient d 33 and mechanical quality factor Q m . However, for some special devices operated in resonant mode, simultaneously high or at least balanced performance parameters are needed. Here, we show the transition from “soft” to “hard” performance in 2 mol% Sm doped (0.36- x )Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 - x Pb(Mn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -0.28PbZrO 3 -0.36PbTiO 3 quaternary solid solution piezoceramics, for which the d 33 and planar electromechanical coupling factor k p decrease, while Q m and Curie temperature T c increase monotonously with increasing x value. As the results, balanced performance with moderate d 33 = 446 pC/N, k p = 0.49, Q m = 425, and T c = 170 °C are achieved around x = 0.03. This work not only shows the feasibility for combining “soft” and “hard” performance by forming appropriate solid solutions, but also provides a suitable material basis for further simultaneously optimizing piezoelectric parameters.
