Rare earth (RE3+)-doped NaY(MoO4)2 nanocrystals are efficient materials for realizing multicolor emission, which plays an important role in displays, W-LEDs, solar cells and biolabeling. Up to now, research on the multicolor tuning properties of RE3+-doped NaY(MoO4)2 nanoparticles has mostly focused on traditional preparation routes such as the hydrothermal method and sol–gel process. However, the products obtained using these methods are usually large in size (on the micron/submicron scale) and agglomeration problems are inevitable. With the development of nano optoelectronic devices and bioluminescence labeling, there is an urgent need to find an efficient method to prepare nanoscale, monodispersed and NaY(MoO4)2:RE3+ nanocrystals (NCs) with good crystallinity and stronger emission properties. In this work, we demonstrate a simple, fast, reproducible and one-step synthesis of NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+ NCs with sizes varying from 1–20 nm via a ligand-assisted reprecipitation strategy. The reaction mechanism and emission intensities of NaY(MoO4)2:Eu3+ NCs with various morphologies have been discussed in detail. Furthermore, Tb3+ and Eu3+ ion co-doped NaY(MoO4)2 NCs were also prepared, and various emission colors were obtained and tuned from red, orange-red, yellow and yellow-green to green. Energy transfer between the Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions in the NaY(MoO4)2 host matrix has also been demonstrated. Finally, a highly efficient and stable NaY(MoO4)2:0.05Tb,0.04Eu NC-based W-LED device was built, which indicates the promising future application for this material in the field of lighting. The tunable multicolour emission, ease of preparation and nanosize reveal that NaY(MoO4)2:RE3+ NCs have a potential application in full color displays and W-LEDs.

In this study, hydrogels generated by the Schiff base reaction between citral and chitosan (CS) were used for the first time to improve the anti-bacterial property of forward osmosis (FO) membranes. The composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Water contact angle (WCA), Zeta potential and confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM). In the FO filtration experiment, the membrane performance of TFC-1 with 1 M sodium chloride solution as the draw solution and deionized water as the feed solution was the best, with the water flux of 25.54 ± 0.7 L m −2 h −1 and the reverse salt flux of 4.7 ± 0.4 g m −2 h −1 . Although the hydrogel coating produced a certain hydraulic resistance, the flux of the modified membrane was only reduced by about 8%, compared with the unmodified membrane. However, the anti-bacterial property ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) and anti-fouling properties (bovine serum protein and lysozyme protein) of the modified membranes were improved, showing good antibacterial properties (99%) and flux recovery rate (over 90%). The modified method has the advantages of easy access to raw materials, simple operation and no risk of secondary pollution, which can effectively reduce the cost of chemical cleaning and extend the service life of the membrane. The modification of membrane by chitosan-based hydrogel is a promising option in the field of membrane anti-bacteria.

Alginate/CaCO3 hybrid beads with pH- and thermal-responsive drug release properties were prepared under compressed CO2 using aliphatic poly(urethane-amine)s (PU) as the thermal-responsive component. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) was used as a crystal growth additive to control the structure of the hybrid beads. The hybrid beads were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The interaction between PAA and aliphatic PU contributed to the formation of alginate beads with a compact CaCO3 shell. Indomethacin release behaviour was found to be pH- and thermal-responsive. The release profiles were sustained with CaCO3 microparticles, indicating that the compact CaCO3 shell could hinder the permeability of the encapsulated drug and reduce the drug release effectively. The results suggest that the hybrid alginate beads can be used as “smart” polysaccharide materials for sustained dual-responsive drug delivery.

Graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is favored for its excellent physicochemical properties. However, the high complexation rate of photogenerated carriers greatly limits its practical applications. Based on this, a novel CQDs-doped carbon nitride nanosheets composite (CNS/CQDs) was prepared and applied to the visible light–induced activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for meloxicam (Mel) and tetracycline (TC) degradation. The photocatalytic degradation of Mel and TC were remarkably promoted in the CNS/CQDs+PMS+vis system. Mel photodegradation of 99.90% was achieved over 30 min with 20 mg CNS/CQDs and 20 mg PMS at pH11. And TC photodegradation of 95.97% was achieved over 45 min with 20 mg CNS/CQDs and 20 mg PMS at nature pH6.5. The TOC mineralization rates of Mel and TC were 75.49% and 52.00%, respectively. The transient photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance measurements (EIS) results indicated that the doping of CQDs could improve the charge transfer efficiency of pure g-C 3 N 4 , and CNS/CQDs had a low charge transfer resistance. Capture experiments and EPR tests explored the effective actives in the CNS/CQDs+PMS+vis system. Possible degradation pathways of Mel were also analyzed. This study provides valid residual drugs degradation under the dual conditions of visible light catalytic oxidation and persulfate oxidation, which will be a novel perspective for advanced oxidation technology to effectively remove organic pollutants from water.

TiO 2 nanoparticles are commonly used as versatile precursors to make functional nanocomposite materials. However, the surface defects at grain boundaries of TiO 2 nanoparticles significantly affect the photoelectric properties of TiO 2 nanomaterials . In this work, we firstly prepared nanocomposites of TiO 2 and polyoxometalates (POMs) in which different POMs, including titanium-substituted POMs K 5 [PW 11 TiO 40 ] and K 7 [PW 10 Ti 2 O 40 ], are incorporated with TiO 2 nanoparticles so as to make an interface modification on grain boundaries of TiO 2 nanoparticles. Then the photoconductivities of the TiO 2 /POM nanocomposites were investigated through measurement of photocurrent responses, current-voltage curves, Mott-Schottky plots and surface photocurrent spectra. Compared with pure TiO 2 nanoparticles, TiO 2 /POM nanocomposites exhibit superior photoelectric properties, benefitting from the interface modification from different POMs. The gas sensing performance for acetone was also explored by use of the as-prepared photoconductive devices, and TiO 2 /PW 11 Ti exhibited a high gas sensing performance.

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) of various molecular weights and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) were utilized to prepare composite nanofiltration (NF) membranes via interfacial polymerization. The changes in the surface structure and chemical composition of the prepared membranes were evaluated using SEM, ATR-FTIR, XPS and surface potential measurements. The pure-water flux and rejection rates of the inorganic salts (MgCl 2 , MgSO 4 , Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl) through the resultant NF membranes were also investigated. The results showed that the performance of the composite NF membranes was significantly affected by the molecular weight of the PEI. Notably, the permeate flux and rejection rate of the NF membranes increased with the PEI molecular weight. In addition, when the NF membranes were used to treat actual wastewater from the electroplating industry, the NF membranes presented high-efficiency separation properties for heavy metal ions. The rejection rates of the NF membranes at 0.4 MPa for chromium, nickel, zinc and copper ions reached 92.6, 89.6, 89.2 and 86.3%, respectively.

Homogenous ZrC x O y powders have been successfully synthesized by in-situ electro-reduction of solid ZrO 2 –C composite precursors in molten CaCl 2 . The effect of applied cell voltage and molar ratio of ZrO 2 to C on preparation of ZrC x O y were investigated. The reduction pathway of the composite electrode was studied based on the analysis of intermediate products using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that ZrO 2 is firstly converted to CaZrO 3 . The resulting CaZrO 3 is then reduced to ZrC x O y . The ZrC x O y formation is dramatically influenced by electrolysis voltage and molar ratio of ZrO 2 to C: a higher cell voltage and lower molar ratio of the ZrO 2 to C are more preferable for the formation of ZrC x O y powder. Homogenous ZrC x O y powders with particle size of ~100 nm are synthesized by ZrO 2 /C starting elemental powders in CaCl 2 molten salt at 1123 K for more than 3 h, when the cell voltage is 3.0 V and the molar ratio of the ZrO 2 to carbon starting materials is 1:1.0.

Enhanced 1.8 μm emission from Tm 3+ by Yb 3+ sensitization and bubbling in tungsten tellurite glasses has been demonstrated under the excitation of a 976 nm laser diode . Radiative properties such as spontaneous emission probabilities, radiative lifetimes and fluorescence branching ratios along with absorption and emission cross sections have been calculated from the absorption spectra . The influences of Yb 3+ concentration, Tm 3+ concentration, and bubbling time on spectroscopic properties have been thoroughly investigated. It is found that with increasing the bubbling time to 35 min, OH − content deceases sharply while 1.8 μm emission intensity improves greatly and 3 F 4 level lifetime prolongs to 1.57 ms close to radiative time. After 35 min, they change very little due to almost reaching the dynamic balance. The strength of interaction between Tm 3+ and OH − is determined. The energy transfer mechanism between Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ is proposed by photoemission spectroscopy and lifetime measurement. The energy transfer coefficients have been analyzed by the extended spectral overlap method and hopping model. Large ratio of the forward energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ to the backward one (223) and high energy transfer efficiency (97%) from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ ensure efficient 1.8 μm emission. Hence, Yb 3+ sensitization and the reduction of OH − content could be expected to open up a possibility to achieve high efficient 2.0 μm lasing from Tm 3+ under a 976 nm LD pump.

A novel positively charged loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated feasibly by UV-induced photografting polymerization of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) on Polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed that a linear chain structure and/or pyrrole like five-membered nitrogen heterocycles structure on the side chain were grafted to form the active barrier layer. NF membrane demonstrated a looser average pore size of 8.6 nm and positive charges surface. Owing to the nanoscale ultrathin nanoscale barrier layer and the combination of Donnan exclusion and steric hindrance , NF membrane exhibited good hydrophilicity , a high pure flux of 60 L/m 2 h (0.5 MPa), a good salt rejection to Mg 2+ (90.8%), Al 3+ (94.0%), Ca 2+ (91.5%), and a high dye rejection to methylene blue (99.4%) and congo red (100.0%) respectively. The salts rejection of NF membrane to different salts followed the order of AlCl 3 > CaCl 2 > MgCl 2 > NaCl > LiCl > MgSO 4 > Na 2 SO 4. NF membrane showed certain fouling resistance to seawater and BSA solution. The grafting polymerization kinetics were comprehensively investigated including irradiation time, monomer concentration and irradiation intensity. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurement were employed to investigate membrane chemistry, morphologies, and hydrophilicity.

In this study, a Cr coating was fabricated on Ni-based alloys to prevent under-deposit corrosion. The effect of salt deposition on the structural integrity of the Cr coating in SCW environment with/without oxygen was investigated. Results show that the Cr coating kept its integrity after exposure in SCW environment, successfully avoided the metallic ions leaching from Ni-based alloys. The structure of the oxide layer after exposure is a thin Fe 2 O 3 or FeCr 2 O 4 layer and a Cr 2 O 3 layer. The oxidation rate of the Cr coating decreased to one third of the sample after exposure in the same environment without salt deposit layer, indicating that the inward mass-transfer of oxygen to the alloy surface was inhibited by the salt deposit layer. The volume expansion of the sample due to the growth of Cr oxide layer was restrained by the salt deposit layer, forming a growth stress in the coating.

Multi-components and equimolar rare earth monosilicates, (Y 1/3 Dy 1/3 Er 1/3 ) 2 SiO 5 , (Y 1/3 Dy 1/3 Lu 1/3 ) 2 SiO 5 , (Y 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 and (Yb 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 , were prepared by solid-state reactions and the following hot-pressing. Dense microstructures with uniform elemental distributions were obtained for all samples. These investigated multi-components monosilicates exhibit low thermal conductivities and similar coefficients of thermal expansion with SiC. Moreover, they exhibit high corrosion resistances in 1400 °C water vapor , especially, four-components (Y 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 and (Yb 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 experienced almost invariable weights after small weight losses during the initial 0.5 h. All those results indicate that multi-components rare earth monosilicates are promising candidates of environmental barrier coatings for SiC/SiC composites.

Mixed electronic and oxide ionic conduction was enabled in digermanate-type La2−xCaxGe2O7−x/2 containing Ge3O10 chains and isolated GeO4 units by substitution of La3+ with Ca2+. The structure and solid solution limit of Ca doped La2Ge2O7 were studied by systematic experiments, including rotation electron diffraction (RED), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) experiments, etc. The preferred occupation of Ca2+ and oxygen vacancies was investigated by Rietveld analysis of the NPD data. The obtained conducting material La1.925Ca0.075Ge2O6.963 exhibits superior thermal stability and an order of magnitude improvement in conductivity compared to the parent La2Ge2O7 (∼9 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 1000 °C). BVEL calculations reveal that the oxygen vacancies were stabilized and transported within the framework of La2Ge2O7 by sharing oxygen and oxygen exchange between the adjacent Ge3O10 chains and GeO4 units, exhibiting a three-dimensional oxide ion transport nature.
