The main inorganic minerals in natural bones are non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca 10 [PO 4 ] 6 [OH] 2 ) doped with various trace elements, which may possess important biochemical effects. To investigate the functions of Sr and Si elements in human hard tissues, non-doped HA, trace Si doped HA, Si and Sr codoped HA with the concentration of natural bones are synthesized by hydrothermal method in this study. The samples are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The biological activities are evaluated via cytotoxicity study, adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast measurement, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay. All the synthesized materials are HA phase, which have hierarchical structures with oriented HA nanorods assembled into the platy particles. These materials are non-cytotoxic against L929 cells line even at 400 μg/ml powder suspension. The results clearly indicate that the proliferation of L929 cells increases with trace elements doping from trace Si-HA to Si + Sr-HA. The adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast measurement illustrates that proliferation of osteoblasts advances about 1.3 times for Si-HA and about 1.8 times for Si + Sr-HA compared with undoped HA. In general, Si-HA with trace Si element shows enhanced cell differentiation, and Si + Sr-HA dual-doped with Si and Sr elements presents increased biological activity compared with Si-HA.

Titanium and nitrogen codoped LiFePO 4 was synthesized via a simple solid state reaction using TiN as the dopant source. The morphology, structure, valence state and electrochemical performance of all the samples were investigated and compared with the undoped LiFePO 4 . The results showed that the codoped samples maintained an olivine structure with modified lattice parameters and exhibited a prominent improved electrochemical performance. Among all the codoped samples, LiFe 0.94 Ti 0.04 PO 4-σ N 0.04 showed the best rate capability of 108.1 mAh g -1 even at a high rate of 5 C and exhibited a capacity retention of about 94% after 100 cycles at 1 C.

As a negative electrode material, the main drawbacks of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) are its low electric conductivity and poor Li-ion diffusion coefficient. Fortunately, elements modification to address these problems is an effective method. Herein, we firstly report Ni and F co-modified LTO material which is synthesized via a solid-state reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the structure and morphology. Afterwards, we surprisingly find that Ni and F co-modification can reduce the overall charge transfer resistance of LTO for part of Ti 4+ converts into Ti 3+ and Ni 2+ ions supply the charge carriers. When test in battery, a superior discharge capacity of 236.1 mAh g −1 at 0.036 A g −1 is obtained, much higher than that of pristine LTO (196.9 mAh g −1 ). Furthermore, it still retains a discharge capacity of 174.6 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.18 A g −1 and exhibits an excellent rate performance.

Development of naturally abundant, low cost, and energy-efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is essential for commercialization of fuel cells. In this work, we report simple ultrasonication assisted synthesis of nitrogen and boron dual-doped graphene oxide (NB/GO) and demonstrate its application as an effective ORR catalyst realizing predominantly 4e– reduction of O2 to OH– in 0.1 M KOH. Enhanced ORR electrocatalysis of the dual B and N codoped GO as opposed to GO singly doped with B or N arises from the synergistic interaction of the boron and nitrogen species. The content and configuration of both N and B dopants can be readily tailored by controlling the ultrasonic conditions, thereby permitting tuning of the ORR activity. Furthermore, the developed NB/GO metal-free catalyst exhibited very promising long-term durability and resistance to methanol poisoning compared to the state-of the art Pt/C catalyst.

Incorporating high valence dopants, such as W 6+ and Mo 6+ has been verified to be effective for tuning the microstructure and grain boundary of polycrystal Ni-rich cathode. However, the hindered consolidation of primary particles induced by dopants during lithiation calcination limits the utilization of those dopants to crystalize single-crystal Ni-rich cathodes with stabilized lattice and surface. Herein, high performance single crystal LiNi 0.84 Co 0.11 Mn 0.05 O 2 cathode with Al 3+ and W 6+ regulated lattice and boundary phase was construed based on commercial process with two-step calcination process containing separated lithiation and crystallization. The introduction of appropriate amount of Al 3+ in the first lithiation calcination of 6 h endows the bulk of crystalline with enhanced lattice stability, while the incorporation of W 6+ with stoichiometrical LiOH in the secondary crystallization calcination of 6 h renders uniformly distributed surface layer without hampering the growth of single-crystal. With the Al 3+ doped bulk lattice, W 6+ doped subsurface region and hetero-epitaxially grown Li 2 WO 4 , the cathode infused by two-step calcination exhibits high discharge capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. Specifically, the modified LiNi 0.84 Co 0.11 Mn 0.05 O 2 exhibits exceptional capacity retention, maintaining 88.98% of its initial capacity after 200 cycles at a rate of 1 C within a voltage window of 2.7–4.3 V at a temperature of 25 °C in half-cell. This performance is markedly superior to the capacity retention of 72.96% observed for pristine cathode. Even when subjected to a stringent test after 200 cycles at the same rate, the modified cathode sustains an impressive capacity retention of 82.41% at an elevated cut-off voltage of 4.5 V and a temperature of 30 °C.

A series of CaNb 2 O 6 : x Sm 3+ (0 ≤
x
≤ 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.

Highly efficient cyan-emitting phosphor materials are indispensable for closing the cyan gap in spectra of the traditional phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) to achieve high-quality full-spectrum white lighting. In this work, bright cyan-emitting Ca 3 Ga 4 O 9 (CGO):0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor is developed to bridge the cyan gap. Such a Bi 3+ ,Zn 2+ codoping enhances the cyan emission of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ by 4.1 times due to the influence of morphology and size of phosphor particles, charge compensation and lattice distortion. Interestingly, codoping La 3+ ions into the current system can achieve a photoluminescence tuning of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ from cyan to yellowish-green by crystallographic site engineering. Besides, Bi 3+ –Eu 3+ energy transfer is successfully realized in CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ , n Eu 3+ phosphors and the emission color tuning from cyan to orange is observed. The investigation of thermal quenching behaviors reveals that the incorporation of Zn 2+ and La 3+ improves the thermal stability of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ . Finally, CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ ,0.10Eu 3+ phosphor is employed to obtain a single-phased warm WLED device. A full-spectrum WLED device with remarkable color rendering index (Ra) of 97.4 and high luminous efficiency of 69.72 lm W −1 is generated by utilizing CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor. This result suggests the important effect of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor on closing the cyan gap, providing new insights of cyan-emitting phosphors applied in full-spectrum white lighting.

Transition metal nitrides have recently attracted significant interest as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to their low electrical resistance and good corrosion resistance. In this paper, we describe the preparation of a Nb-based binary nitride material with a porous nanogrid morphology/structure. The catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity and high stability towards oxygen reduction. We also intensively investigated the effect that doping with a second transition metal had on the performance of the catalyst. We found that the ORR activity of NbN could be enhanced significantly by enriching the d electrons of Nb through doping with a second transition metal, and that doping with cobalt resulted in the best improvement. Our optimal catalyst, Nb0.95Co0.05N, had an ORR activity ∼4.6 times that of NbN (current density @ 0.6 V vs. the RHE). XPS results revealed that Co doping increased the proportion of Nb in a low-valence state, which may be one of the most important reasons for the enhanced performance. Another important reason is the high surface area resulting from the porous nanogrid morphology. As transition metal doping is an attractive way to enhance the activity of nitride catalysts, our work may provide an effective pathway to achieve this.

A conventional preparation method of electroceramics was used to synthesise Pb-free 0.85Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -0.15CaTiO 3 - x La (NBT-CT- x La) ceramics. La 3+ doping effectively refined the grains and enhanced the dielectric breakdown strength (BDS) of the ceramics; this result was confirmed by numerical simulations, which revealed that grain refinement significantly contributed to the enhancement of the BDS. The energy storage density consequently improved when an appropriate amount of La 3+ was added to the NBT-CT ceramics. In particular, the NBT-CT-0.75La ceramic displayed a maximum energy storage density of 2.15 J/cm 3 and a high BDS of 210 kV/cm. This ceramic also possessed relatively excellent temperature and frequency stabilities (30–150 °C, 0.2–200 Hz). Moreover, the ceramics exhibited exceptional charge–discharge performances, with an outstanding power density of 43.87 MW/cm 3 , which is nearly twice of that of other NBT-based ceramics. On the basis of the findings, the NBT-CT-0.75La ceramic can be considered to be a promising candidate material for the pulsed power application.

ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with sizes of between 20 and 65 nm are synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The size of the nanocrystals is affected by different Ga3+ concentrations. The variation in size has influence on the particles' visible blue and red up-conversion (UC) emission. In this paper, X-ray powder diffraction results show different amounts of gallium substituting for Zn in the ZnO lattice. When the concentration of Ga3+ is 3 mol%, the resulting UCNPs exhibit strong UC emission, longer fluorescence lifetime and narrower band gap. Due to their adjustable size and UC fluorescence properties, ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ nanocrystals have broad prospects for future applications in the biomedical field.

Nowadays, ultraviolet (UV) and blue converted phosphors have played a key role in the solid-state lighting field, and the white light is usually produced by mixing multiple phosphors. In this work, we report a type of UV converted single white phosphor, i.e. , Ba 9 La 2 Si 6 O 24 :Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ .Various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopic (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and quantum efficiency (QE), have been used to characterize the samples. In Bi 3+ doped samples, upon excitation within the wavelength range of 250–380 nm can lead to three Bi 3+ emission bands ( i.e. , 358 nm, 415 nm, and 516 nm), but only one emission band peaking at 415 nm appears when the excitation wavelength exceeds 380 nm. Structural analysis and discussion on the PL intensity variation reveal there are three Bi 3+ luminescent centers at two different La 3+ sites and one Ba 2+ site. The Bi 3+ concentration-induced luminescent quenching is dominated by the d-d interaction. In view of the spectral overlap between the Bi 3+ emissions and the Eu 3+ excitation spectra , the energy transfer from Bi 3+ to Eu 3+ of the Ba 9 La 2 Si 6 O 24 :Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ is studied, and it is dominated by a dipole-quadrupole ( d - q ) interaction. Moreover, upon excitation at 365 nm, the emissions broadly tuning from blue, white and to red are achieved by varying the Eu 3+ content. For the white Ba 9 La 2 Si 6 O 24 :Eu 3+ ,Bi 3+ sample, high temperature PL results show that it does not have severe degradation of emission intensity after increasing the temperature from 25 to 300 °C, exhibiting a good thermal stability . To show the potential application in the lighting fields, we fabricate a white light LEDs device by depositing this white phosphor on a 365 nm UV LED chip. As a result, the values, i.e. , a color rendering index (CRI) of 95, luminous efficiency of 80 lm/W, and color temperature (CT) of ~4215 K at chromaticity (0.382, 0.398), are achieved.

In this work, tungstate BaWO 4 phosphors doped Ho 3+ -Yb 3+ -Gd 3+ ions are successfully synthesized through solid-state reaction method. Under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, the up-conversion (UC) luminescence properties are investigated simultaneously. The blue (465 nm, 489 nm), green (541 nm) and red (665 nm) emission intensities of BaWO 4 : Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ /Gd 3+ samples are dramatically enhanced by 20.59, 9.83, 7.37, and 27.59 times more than those without Gd 3+ ions. The possible reason is discussed, which attributes to the energy transfer efficiency enhancement from Yb 3+ to Ho 3+ due to the lattice expansion induced by Gd 3+ ions. The temperature-sensing properties of BaWO 4 : Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ /Gd 3+ samples are also discussed based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technology. The sensitivity of temperature measurement for BaWO 4 : Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ /Gd 3+ sample is higher than that of BaWO 4 : Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ . It proves that the codoped Gd 3+ ions can also increase the temperature sensitivity because the higher UC emission efficiency will lead to a high signal-to-noise ratio. The result provides an effective way to design UC luminescence materials with high temperature sensing properties.
