A series of size controllable Tb 3+ and/or Eu 3+ activated nano-sized silica phosphors have been successfully synthesized through a facile sol-gel method. The structure, morphology, compositions, and luminescence properties of as-prepared samples were well investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The results showed that all as-prepared samples were spherical nanoparticles but the sizes reduced gradually with the temperature increased from 25 °C to 65 °C, which was contrary to the BET surfaces as well as the luminescence intensity. Under ultraviolet excitation, the SiO 2 :Ln 3+ (Ln=Eu, Tb) spherical nanoparticles showed characteristic red and green emissions corresponding to f-f transition of Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ , respectively. Moreover, the luminescence emissions of samples can be tuned from green to yellow, orange and red by co-doping the Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ ions in different concentration ratio into the SiO 2 host due to the efficient dipole–dipole energy transfer mechanism from Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ under 377 nm excitation. These results show that as-prepared phosphors may find potential applications in color display fields.

Zirconia modified by Samarium/Europium, RE/ZrO 2 (RE = Sm , Eu ), composite oxide nano-materials have been successfully synthesized by improved sol–gel method. Characterization results show that X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks of products gradually shift to the lower angle with the increase of rare earth which implies that the lattice distances of RE/ZrO 2 nano-materials are gradually enlarged. Moreover, the molar ratios between zirconium and rare earth are consistent with the chemical formula and both of them are uniformly distributed in samples. Optical properties indicate that defect structures and electron configurations of RE/ZrO 2 (RE = Sm , Eu ) with single phase determine their absorption properties on visible light. Photocatalytic experiments indicate Zr 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2− δ nano-crystals have excellent visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activities on Methylene blue and Rhodamine B which results from the special defect structure, suitable electronic configuration, and larger specific surface area. It follows that Zr 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2− δ nano-crystals are new visible-light-responsive photocatalysts which can be applied in dye wastewater treatment and environmental protection in the future.

Radioactive uranium leaks into natural water bodies mainly in the form of uranyl ions (UO 2 2+ ), posing ecological and human health risks. Fluorescent europium-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) have been demonstrated to be effective fluorescent sensors for UO 2 2+ , but the large size, powder state and poor dispersity limit their further application. In this work, fluorescent Eu-MOFs were in-situ grown on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs), which is the first time that spherical Eu-MOF crystals with sizes below 10 nm were prepared. Fluorescence spectral analysis revealed a nine-fold increase in the fluorescence intensity of TOCNF@Eu-MOF compared to Eu-MOF. The nanocomposites achieved rapid and sensitive fluorescence quenching to UO 2 2+ through the “antenna effect” and unsaturated Lewis basic sites on the ligands binding with UO 2 2+ . Moreover, TOCNF@Eu-MOF demonstrated excellent selectivity and anti-interference for UO 2 2+ detection. For the nanopaper-based sensor made from TOCNF@Eu-MOF, the Stern-Volmer quenching constant ( K SV ) was calculated as 8.21 × 10 4 M −1 , and the lowest limit of detection (LOD) was 6.6 × 10 −7 M, significantly lower than the 1.32 × 10 −6 M of Eu-MOFs. In addition, the nanopaper exhibited good fluorescence stability and cyclic detection performance, enabling the rapid and convenient detection of UO 2 2+ in the aqueous phase within 30 s by simple dipping.

The development of cotton fabrics with exceptional and durable fluorescent properties has garnered significant attention. In this study, an enduring fluorescence cotton fabric was fabricated by a convenient and efficient approach. Interestingly, carboxyl reactive groups were employed as bridging agents to covalently link the raw fabric with Europium (Eu)-based polyoxometalate, thus guaranteeing the tight bonds between the polyoxometalates and the fabric matrix. The morphology and microstructures of composite fabrics were characterized and compared, demonstrating the successful integration of polyoxometalates into the fabric featuring covalent bonding interactions. Additionally, the fluorescence emissions of composite fabrics were investigated ( λ ex = 243 nm). The emission spectrum exhibits typical emission peaks of Eu 3+ and polyoxometalate, corresponding to the 5 D 0 → 7 F 0–4 transitions in the range of 550–750 nm and the O → W transition, which results in distinct red fluorescence. Moreover, the lifetime-decay behavior, monitored at an excitation wavelength of 243 nm, follows a single-exponential function, yielding a lifetime ( τ ) of 0.4 ms. More importantly, owing to the robust interaction between the components, the composite fabric demonstrates exceptional fastness properties, including resistance to washing (50 times washing), abrasion (under both dry and wet conditions), and sunlight (9 days). In particular, three kinds of shaped masks were used, highlighting its potential as a reusable anti-counterfeiting material. The plausible mechanisms of the system is attributed to the efficient electron transition and energy transfer processes within the composite structure. Besides, mechanical property reveal PW 11 Eu@CF almost inherits the original fabric’s mechanical property. This work provides a novel strategy for the controlled design and fabrication of polyoxometalate-based anti-counterfeit material.

The dynamic control of fluorescence intensity in a time-dependent manner is crucial for enhancing the complexity of dynamic information encryption. In this study, we introduce a new system that combines a pH-responsive microgel with a non-equilibrium Eu-containing polyoxometalate. This system is created through dissipative self-assembly based on urease, enabling precise regulation of fluorescence intensity on a time scale. This intelligent fluorescent system exhibits potential applications in fluorescent ink, enzymatic logic gate and information encryption. Moreover, by simply manipulating the concentration of urease, the lifetime of encoded information can be accurately regulated. These time-encoding characteristics endow Eu-containing polyoxometalate with significant potential for advanced information encryption and data storage.

TiO2is a typical semiconductor material, and it has attracted much attention in the field of humidity sensors. Doping is an efficient way to enhance the humidity response of TiO2. Eu-doped TiO2material was investigated in both theoretical simulations and experiments. In a simulation based on density functional theory, a doped Eu atom can increase the performance of humidity sensors by producing more oxygen vacancies than undoped TiO2. In these experiments, Eu-doped TiO2nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the results also confirm the theoretical prediction. When the doping mole ratio is 5 mol%, the response of the humidity sensor reaches 23,997.0, the wet hysteresis is 2.3% and the response/recovery time is 3/13.1 s. This study not only improves the basis for preparation of high-performance TiO2humidity sensors, but also fills the research gap on rare earth Eu-doped TiO2as a humidity-sensitive material.

In this work, europium (III) complexes were synthesized by using different o-hydroxy-benzophenone ligands, namely 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone (HL 1 ), 4-allyloxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone (HL 2 ) and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (HL 3 ). The structures and optical properties of the Eu III complexes E1, E2 and E3 were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared/fluorescence spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The aggregation-induced emission properties from E1, E2 and E3 were systematically investigated in the acetone/water binary mixtures. At the same time, the corresponding agglomeration behavior and self-assembly structures in the Eu III complex system was confirmed through scanning electron microscopy. Excellent luminescent performance was illustrated in sample of E1 (the luminescence quantum yield of 21.36 % in solid state) which should be attributed to the aggregation-induced emission from better self-assembly behavior with longer carbon chain in ligand. The results of ultraviolet aging resistance from E1 reveal that the self-assembly behavior could not only improve the aggregation-induced emission performance, but also enhance the photostability of Eu III complex compared with the traditional β-diketone Eu III complex. This discovery may provide a facile strategy to design and prepare more promising rare earth complexes with good luminescence properties and strong photostability for application in solid state.

Self-assembled Eu-dipeptide (tryptophan-phenylalanine) microparticles with multi-emission fluorescence was prepared and modified with a single-stranded DNA corresponding to the sulfamethazine (SMZ) adapter (Eu-PMPs@cDNA). Aptamer-functionalized magnetic Fe 3 O 4 (MNPs@aptamer) was used to specifically bind the target SMZ. Using Eu-PMPs@cDNA as fluorescent signal probe and MNPs@aptamer as catcher, a noncompetitive fluorescence sensing strategy was developed for determination of SMZ with good sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, and stability. Under the optimized conditions, fluorescence increases linearly in the 0–20 ng/mL SMZ concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.014 ng/mL. The fluorescence sensing method was applied to analysis of water and fish muscle samples, and recoveries ranged from 81.78 to 119.46 % with relative standard deviations below 4.2 %. This study offered a reliable and sensitive fluorescence sensing strategy for SMZ determination in food samples, which owns great potential for wide-ranging application in harmful compounds assay by simply changing the type of aptamer and its complementary single-stranded DNA.

Salen-type Schiff-base ligands (H 2 L) were synthesized through the condensation reaction between 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine and o-vanillin. Three novel luminescent Zn-Ln complexes, [ZnL] 2 Ln (Ln = Gd, Tb, Eu), were successfully prepared by reacting the zinc complex (ZnL) with LnCl 3 . Subsequent treatment of [ZnL] 2 Ln with dibenzoylmethane yielded three dinuclear derivatives, β-[ZnL]Ln (Ln = Gd, Tb, Eu). All complexes were comprehensively characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. Structural analyses revealed that complexes 1–3 adopt trinuclear Zn-Ln-Zn architectures, whereas complexes 4–6 exhibit dinuclear Zn-Ln configurations. Solid-state photoluminescence measurements demonstrated quantum yields of 27.94% (ZnL), 0.90% ([ZnL] 2 Eu), 1.82% ([ZnL] 2 Tb), 1.05% ([ZnL] 2 Gd), 0.65% (β-[ZnL]Eu), 1.16% (β-[ZnL]Tb), and 0.70% (β-[ZnL]Gd), indicating their potential as advanced fluorescent rare-earth materials. The LED devices based on complexes β-[ZnL]Eu and β-[ZnL]Tb exhibit stronger emission intensities compared to those based on complexes [ZnL] 2 Eu and [ZnL] 2 Tb. The obtained complexes were fabricated in LED; the CIE chromaticity coordinates of complexes β-[ZnL]Eu and β-[ZnL]Tb are (0.344, 0.316) and (0.347, 0.323), respectively, which are very close to the standard white light coordinates (0.33, 0.33).

The magnetic-luminescent bifunctional nanospheres NH 2 –Fe 3 O 4 /HMDA[Eu(DBM) 4 ] were prepared by coating the amino-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanospheres with HMDA[Eu(DBM) 4 ]. The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the bifunctional nanospheres were characterized. Molecular simulations of the adsorption configurations of the NH 2 –Fe 3 O 4 /HMDA[Eu(DBM) 4 ] were performed. The photoluminescence and magnetic properties of the nanospheres were investigated. Magnetic particle inspection utilizing NH 2 –Fe 3 O 4 /HMDA[Eu(DBM) 4 ] nanospheres was carried out to detect cracks on the coupling surface. The magnetic field at the defects of the component under the magnetic field was simulated and analyzed. Furthermore, simulations and analyses were performed to examine the magnetic field distribution at the cracks under an applied magnetic field. The magnetic-luminescent bifunctional nanospheres NH 2 –Fe 3 O 4 /HMDA[Eu(DBM) 4 ] show great promise for widespread application in magnetic particle inspection due to their high visibility under ultraviolet light and controllability in the presence of magnetic fields.

The synthesis of a series of side-chain π-conjugated fluorene and terpyridine-functionalized hydrophilic poly(acrylamide) hydrogels via radical random copolymerization was reported. Based on the coordination of terpyridines and europium (III) ions, the dual-network hydrogels containing chemical covalent cross-linking bonds and metallo-supramolecular cross-linking bonds were prepared. Their structures and properties were studied systematically via NMR, IR, SEM , UV–vis absorption spectra , photoluminescence spectra and rheological. The photophysical properties showed that there was Förster energy transfer from conjugated chromophores (emission wavelength at 359–435 nm) to the europium emitter. The water content and the ratio of the energy donor and acceptor in the hydrogels make important influences on the energy transfer and then the emission color of the resulting dual-network hydrogel can be regulated from blue to red via controlling the degree of the energy transfer. Meanwhile, the dual-network hydrogels exhibited small and uniform pore structure and good mechanical properties with large storage and loss moduli .

Europium metal organic framework (Eu-MOF) was synthesized using Europium as metal ion center and 1,3,5-trimesic acid (H 3 BTC) as organic ligand under hydrosolvothermal conditions. The dynamic performance of the Eu-MOF material in adsorption desulfurization processes was investigated using a solution of thiophene/n-octane as sulfur containing quality model oil. The adsorption desulfurization kinetics equations and adsorption desulfurization isotherms of Eu-MOF were also studied. The results have shown that Eu-MOF catalyst has very good adsorption desulfurization abilities under optimum desulfurization conditions of m adsorbent : m model oil ratio of 1:100 and reaction temperature of 303 K. After 4 h of desulfurization reaction, the adsorption rate and the adsorption desulfurization capacity has reached 64.70% and 24.59 mgS/gMOF respectively. The Eu-MOF adsorption desulfurization process of thiophene on Eu-MOF fits well the quasi two level dynamic model using Langmuir isotherm, Freundlich isotherm and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm equations. The Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm can be a suitable description of adsorption process for Eu-MOF absorbent on thiophene/n-octane mode oil. However the Freundlich isotherm equation model with fitting R
2 value closer to 1, can be a better description for the adsorption of thiophene. The adsorption of thiophene over Eu-MOF absorbent has two types of adsorption that occur simultaneously. These are the monolayer physical adsorption and the multilayer chemical adsorption.
