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.

Incorporation of lanthanide ions (Ln 3+ ) can remarkably enhance the structural stability and optical properties of lead-free perovskite NCs. Herein, we have established the relationship between the intrinsic emission of Cs 2 AgInCl 6 host and the Ln 3+ by Eu 3+ , Tb 3+ doping in Cs 2 AgInCl 6 NCs, realizing tunable luminescence of NCs in the visible region. Experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations analysis show that Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ occupy the sites of In 3+ in Cs 2 AgInCl 6 , the defect formation energy for Cs 2 AgInCl 6 :Ln 3+ is larger than the pristine Cs 2 AgInCl 6 , resulting in a more stable cubic double perovskite structure. The optical band gap increases with the increase in Ln 3+ doping percentage. Turning excitation from 250 nm to 300 nm, the broad self-trapped excitons (STEs) emission is more remarkable, and the narrow Ln 3+ emission is less notable. The emitted color can be adjusted from white to red and to green light by altering the doping concentration of Eu 3+ or Tb 3+ and excitation wavelength. This work promotes the design and optoelectronic application of desired lead-free perovskites.

The clinical use of anticancer drugs necessitates new technologies for their safe, sensitive, and selective detection. In this article, lanthanide (Eu3+and Tb3+)-loaded γ-cyclodextrin nano-aggregates (ECA and TCA) are reported, which sensitively detects the anticancer drug irinotecan by fluorescence intensity changes. Fluorescent lanthanide (Eu3+and Tb3+) complexes exhibit high fluorescence intensity, narrow and distinct emission bands, long fluorescence lifetime, and insensitivity to photobleaching. However, these lanthanide (Eu3+and Tb3+) complexes are essentially hydrophobic, toxic, and non-biocompatible. Lanthanide (Eu3+and Tb3+) complexes were loaded into naturally hydrophilic γ-cyclodextrin to form fluorescent nano-aggregates. The biological nontoxicity and cytocompatibility of ECA and TCA fluorescent nanoparticles were demonstrated by cytotoxicity experiments. The ECA and TCA fluorescence nanosensors can detect irinotecan selectively and sensitively through the change of fluorescence intensity, with detection limits of 6.80 μM and 2.89 μM, respectively. ECA can safely detect irinotecan in the cellular environment, while TCA can detect irinotecan intracellularly and is suitable for cell labeling.Keywords:lanthanide (Eu3+, Tb3+) complex;γ-cyclodextrin;nano-aggregate;sensing;anticancer drug;irinotecan

UV protection of polymer solar cells is significant to extend the duration of life and to improve their efficiency. Diatom shells doped with Eu3+/Tb3+ complexes (ETDSs) can be used as an efficient absorber and down-conversion agent for these purposes. In this work, the goal is effective UV protection and photovoltaic efficiency enhancement of polymer solar cells using DSs doped with Eu3+/Tb3+ complexes. These Eu3+/Tb3+ complexes in DSs are anchored at porous walls through a grafted coupling agent. As a strong UV absorber and efficiency enhancer, ETDSs were compounded into the cellulose acetate (CA) matrix to get an ETDS@CA flexible luminescent film. This luminescent film with high UV absorption in the range of 200–400 nm down converts UV photons into photons in visible, at 612 nm. We spin-coat the mixture solution of ETDS and CA onto the back surface of the transparent ITO/glass electrode to set up the ETDS@CA protected polymer solar cell. In this way, both UV protection and polymer solar cell efficiency enhancement are achieved. The experimental data indicated that ETDS@CA coated polymer solar cells can maintain 80% of the initial efficiency after UV-radiation for 1000 h, compared with 40% of unprotected polymer solar cells. Correspondingly, the efficiency of polymer solar cells has been enhanced by 4%. This method can be developed into a new and highly efficient way to UV protect polymer solar cells, as the original structure of polymer solar cells is not modified, with only an additional UV protection layer on the other side of the substrate.

A series of original tunable-luminescence phosphors K 3 Lu(PO 4 ) 2 : Tb 3+ , Eu 3+ with efficient energy transfer (ET) was synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The samples were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, CIE chromaticity coordinates, and fluorescence decay analysis. The energy band and density of states of K 3 Lu(PO 4 ) 2 were analyzed by the first-principles method. The cross-relaxation of Tb 3+ -doped phosphors was investigated as well. The ET from Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ ions, realizing through the electric dipole-dipole (d-d) interaction with a high ET efficiency of 98.36%, could be controlled principally by the Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ doping concentration ratio, yielding the tunable emissions from green (0.293, 0.537) to orange-red (0.563, 0.367) range. Based on the obtained results, a three-phosphor-conversion white light-emitting diode (w-LED) was fabricated through the integration of a 365 nm chip and commercial blue-emitting BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu 2+ phosphors, green-emitting SiAlON: Eu 2+ phosphors, and orange-red-emitting K 3 Lu(PO 4 ) 2 : 0.1 Tb 3+ , 0.06Eu 3+ phosphors. The appliance emits the white light at a suitable correlated color temperature of 3678 K and a high color rendering index of 91.4. These parameters are almost equal to those of ideal white light, which opens up the prospects for using this up-and-coming phosphor for warm w-LED applications.

Organic fluorescent materials are widely applied in different important fields, such as light-emitting display, explosive detection, molecular imprinting, and so on, because of their low cost, easy functionalization, and large-scale fabrication. In this work, we designed and synthesized a new kind of organic fluorescent polysulfate composite material through post-sulfonation sulfur-fluorine exchange polymerization (a new kind of click chemistry) by symmetric molecular. Sulfur-fluorine exchange polymerization: symmetrical structure SO2F−R1−SO2F molecular reacted with symmetrical OH−R2−OH molecular through nucleophilic reaction in the presence of inorganic base. The polysulfate material was further modified by ClSO3H to get PSE−SO3H materials. Tb3+was highly dispersed on PSE−SO3H to afford organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent materials through the conventional coordination chemistry method. The emission wavelength of the organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent polymer PSE−SO3H−Tb3+was between 475 and 685 nm, the quantum yield reached 1.18%, and fluorescence lifetime lasted for 730.168 us, with the pure green light emission and long light-emitting lifetime. The fluorescence film was prepared through phase transformation method by the fluorescent polymer material PSE−SO3H−Tb3+. The film has the strong stability property in different pH conditions (pH 1~13). Thus, this kind of organic fluorescent polysulfate composite material may have certain prospects application in terms of detection and luminescence in extreme chemical environments in the future.Keywords:polysulfate material;rare earth matal;Tb3+;fluorescence;polymer;symmetric molecular;stepwise polymerization

To avoid the critical problems of effective drugs not being carried to their targeted cancers and their quantity and location not being sensed in situ, this work presents a completely new innovative strategy to achieve both smart cancer targeting (SCT) and super-sensitive sensing (SSS), where one drug carrier works for effective drug loading and release. Herein, malignant melanoma treatment is used as an example of reliable detection and effective therapy. We report two characteristic dumbbell-like nano-micelles and spherical-like nano-micelles of hyaluronan induced by the Eu3+/Tb3+complexes for effective drug loading and release, respectively. These special Eu3+/Tb3+-loaded nano-micelles (marked as ENM and TNM) have strong and sharp red/green luminescence that can sensitively detect the malignant melanoma drug dacarbazine through changes in fluorescence intensity. Cytotoxicity experiments confirmed that both ENM and TNM are not toxic to normal cells at very high concentrations of 4 mM. However, when loaded with cancer drugs (D-ENM and D-ENM), they both killed cancer cells with more than 40% efficacy at this concentration. The in vivo experiments confirmed that D-ENM and D-TNM can effectively target cancer cells in tissue and effectively impede cancer growth. The detection limits of ENM and TNM in sensing cancer drugs can reach 0.456 μg/mL and 0.139 μg/mL, respectively. Therefore, the reported Eu3+/Tb3+-induced hyaluronan nano-micelles (ENM and TNM) are distinguished carriers of this cancer drug and excellent in situ sensors, and they have highly therapeutic effects with extremely low toxicity to normal cells.

Lead-free metal halide double perovskites with non-toxicity and stable self-trapped excitons (STEs) have received considerable attention in the field of photoelectric applications. However, it is difficult to achieve independent control of its photoluminescence performance to meet the requirements of multi-band emission. Herein, a doping strategy was employed to introduce lanthanide ions (Ln 3+ ) into Cs 2 NaInCl 6 :Sb 3+ nanocrystals (NCs), enabling the multicolor emission modulation ranging from blue to red and even white light. Benefiting from the efficient energy transfer from Sb-related self-trapped excitons to Ln 3+ ions, green and red emissions originate from the 5 D 0 → 7 F J (J = 1, 2, 3, 4) transition of Eu 3+ ions and 5 D 4 - 7 F J (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transition of Tb 3+ ions, respectively. According to the tunable polychromatic photoluminescence characteristics of doped NCs, the dual-mode fluorescent anti-counterfeiting applications were exhibited. Furthermore, the distinct temperature sensitivities exhibited by blue (453 nm) and red (617 nm) emission in Cs 2 NaInCl 6 :Sb 3+ /Eu 3+ NCs provide the opportunity for the optical thermometry, which demonstrates the maximum absolute and relative sensitivity are 0.0018 and 0.43 % K −1 , respectively. These results indicate that the synthesized codoped NCs have the potential applications in multifunctional fields, such as optical thermometer, fluorescence anti-counterfeiting, and multicolor-LEDs.

Lead-free double perovskites (LFDPs) usually exhibit poor luminescent performance, and doping lanthanide ions (Ln 3+ ) presents a promising solution to solve this problem. However, most Ln 3+ ions face difficulties in incorporating into LFDPs due to the mismatch in radius or valence state. Here, we successfully synthesized rare-earth (RE 3+ ) based Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 (CNLC) LFDPs and achieved efficient green emission through doping Tb 3+ into CNLC. Introducing Sb 3+ improves the absorption efficiency of CNLC: Tb 3+ from 25.1 % to 73.5 % by establishing an energy transfer channel from Sb 3+ to Tb 3+ . Benefiting from the energy transfer, the CNLC: 0.01Sb 3+ , 0.10Tb 3+ phosphor produces blue-green dual emissions, highlighting its potential in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). In addition, an anti-counterfeiting pattern composed of CNLC: Sb 3+ , CNLC: Tb 3+ , and CNLC: Sb 3+ , Tb 3+ samples was fabricated, which shows their promising prospect in anti-counterfeiting applications.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a biomimetic biomaterial that has been widely used in bone repair for many years. However, the increased risk of infection after surgery and long-time tracing for the material distribution and degradation during bone reconstruction remain challenges in the clinic. Zinc (Zn) is considered as an indispensable microelement for humans and is characterized with antibacterial action and osteogenic activity. Terbium (Tb), a rare-earth element, emits stable fluorescence under ultraviolet light. Here, Tb3+/Zn2+ co-doped hydroxyapatite (HA:Tb/Zn) was prepared to synchronously realize the antibacterial effect, osteogenic activity, and long-time tracing property. We found that HA:Tb/Zn had a strong antibacterial effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical infectious bacteria, as well as improved osteogenic activity. HA:Tb/Zn also displayed stable green fluorescence in vitro and in vivo, which indicated great potential for recognizing the material changes during the bone reconstruction process. The combination of the ternary functions is of great significance to control the overuse of antibiotics and realize long-time tracing, and provide a versatile design on biomaterials in bone repair.

Lead-free double perovskites (LFDPs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years owing to their distinctive optical characteristics. While multi-component phosphor blends dominate commercial white light-emitting diode (WLED), the pursuit of efficient white light generation from a single crystalline lattice has yet to overcome critical bottlenecks in emission harmonization. In this study, we present a triple-doped rare-earth double perovskite, Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 : Sb 3+ , Tb 3+ , Sm 3+ . We pioneer a competitive energy transfer engineering strategy in this material, in which orchestrated energy routing from Sb 3+ to Tb 3+ and Sm 3+ enables precise spectral harmonization. This overcomes the long-standing efficiency-color quality trade-off in single-matrix WLEDs, which can be precisely controlled via dopant ratio optimization. Both steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to investigate the synthesis and luminescence behavior of the triple-doped Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 : Sb 3+ , Tb 3+ , Sm 3+ . Analysis of the PL spectra reveals three key energy transfer mechanisms: (i) Sb 3+ → Tb 3+ , (ii) Sb 3+ → Sm 3+ , and (iii) Tb 3+ → Sm 3+ . Temperature-dependent PL spectra demonstrate exceptional thermal stability, and the luminous intensity decreases by only 8.8 % at high temperatures of 473 K. By fine-tuning the dopant concentrations, precise control over the CIE coordinates within the white-light region is achieved, driven by competitive energy transfer dynamics. In addition, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) reaches 38.29 % in a Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 Single Crystal (SC) co-doped with 0.5 % Sb 3+ , 60 % Tb 3+ , and 25 % Sm 3+ . When incorporated into WLED devices, these phosphors deliver a color rendering index (CRI) of 94.7, a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5018 K, and a near-ideal white light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.344, 0.338). This work provides a high-performance single-matrix white light emitter for WLEDs and a practical energy transfer design strategy for rare-earth-doped LFDPs, promising to advance lead-free perovskite applications in solid-state lighting.

X-ray excitation photodynamic therapy is a new photodynamic therapy mode that induces tumor cell apoptosis by indirectly stimulating photosensitizer on nanoparticles with X-ray as excitation light source and generating singlet oxygen. It solves the problem of light penetration in traditional photodynamic therapy and realizes the treatment of deep tumors. At present, the weak X-ray-induced luminescence restricts further development of X-ray photodynamic therapy. NaLuF 4 :Li + /Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ rare-earth nanoparticles with uniform size and regular morphology were synthesized by solvothermal method . The X-ray-induced luminescence intensity of NaLuF 4 :Li + /Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ NPs was improved by Li + and Gd 3+ ions co-doping. The light yield of NaLuF 4 :Li + /Gd 3+ /Tb 3+ NPs with 5% Li + ions doping was 1.4 times than that of reference sample due to the change of crystal field symmetry. Furthermore, the effective lifetime of persistent luminescence increased from 221.5 s to 251.9 s after 15% Li + ions doping. The thermoluminescence curves confirmed that the trap concentration was increased after Li + ions doping, which was responsible for enhancing persistent luminescence lifetime . Long persistent luminescence emission laid a foundation for further application in photodynamic therapy.
