The current separation technique of ion-adsorption high yttrium (Y) rare earth ore (high-yttrium ore) using 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) and naphthenic acid (NA) has been confronted with low separation efficiency and high acid consumption. This is a consequence of the low selectivity and the difficulty of complete stripping of heavy rare earths (HREEs). Therefore, an innovative separation technique of high-yttrium ore was proposed. The leachate of high-yttrium ore was firstly divided into Erbium (Er) / Thulium (Tm) groups with P507-isooctanol followed by separating Y (III) from the high Y-enrichment of Er (III) group with sec -octylphenoxy acetic acid (CA12)-tri- n -butyl phosphate (TBP). The basic thermodynamics experiments and cascade extraction simulations were conducted to verify the feasibility of this technology. The results show that P507-15vol% isooctanol is superior to P507 in both stripping ability and separation selectivity of HREEs. The first cascade extraction for Er (III) / Tm (III) grouping with P507-15vol% isooctanol was simulated successfully, reducing acid consumption but obtaining high purity products. In theory, the second cascade extraction simulation designed for separating Y (III) with CA12-TBP could not only improve the separation ability between Y (III) and light rare earths (LREEs) but also shorten the extraction stages and reduce the production costs. All these results revealed that this two-step separation process probably provided a promising application prospect for separating high-yttrium ore.

EuS and Gd2O2S nanocrystals with narrow size distribution are synthesized in high yields by the thermal decomposition of Eu(oleate)3 or Gd(oleate)3 in oleylamine using CS2 as the sulfur source. The dimensionalities of these nanocrystals can be facilely tuned by the addition of 1-dodecanethiol. The morphologies and crystal structures of EuS and Gd2O2S nanocrystals are characterized by TEM and XRD. The magnetic properties of the obtained nanocrystals are also investigated. The experimental results illustrate that CS2 is an effective sulfur source for the preparation of metal sulfide and lanthanide oxysulfide semiconductor nanocrystals.

The impact of configurational entropy on the microwave dielectric properties of LnNbO 4 fergusonite was investigated by designing a series of high-entropy counterparts, including (La, Nd, Sm, Ho, Yb, Y)NbO 4 (6RNO), (La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Ho, Yb, Y)NbO 4 (7RNO), (La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Yb, Y)NbO 4 (8RNO), and (La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y)NbO 4 (10RNO). Simply prepared by the solid-state route, a pure phase with a monoclinic fergusonite structure of space group C /2 c was obtained. By comparing the microstructural evolution and lattice vibration modes, an analysis was conducted on the variations in microwave dielectric performances. It was confirmed that the permittivity ( ε r ) is primarily influenced by relative density, while the quality factor ( Q × f ) exhibits a strong correlation with packing fraction and lattice vibrations. The resonant frequency temperature coefficient (τ f ) is significantly associated with bond valence. The optimal microwave dielectric properties were achieved in 7RNO ceramics at a temperature of 1270 °C, resulting in a relative density of 95.43 %. The microwave dielectric properties were measured as ε r = 18.62, Q × f = 35200 GHz, τ f = −23.28 ppm/°C. The present study expands the application of entropy engineering to achieve ultrahigh configurational entropy in microwave dielectric ceramics . These findings demonstrate that optimizing the configuration entropy is an effective approach for manipulating the dielectric properties, thereby providing valuable insights for material component design.

This paper reports a simple, rapid and sensitive fluorescence sensor for the parallel determination of iron (III) (Fe 3+ ), terbium (III) (Tb 3+ ) and europium (III) (Eu 3+ ) ions using Carbon Dot (CD) serving as a fluorescence probe. The Carbon Dot (CD), which was synthesized via an acid-cutting method using anthracite coal as the carbon source, was found to have rich carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on its surface. The fluorescence of the as-prepared CD can be selectively quenched by the Fe 3+ ion via non-radiative electron-transfer, and furthermore, the as-prepared CD can also sensitize the luminescence of both Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ ions through the antenna effect and enhance the fluorescence of Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ by more than several orders of magnitude. Therefore, the as-prepared CD was applied as a fluorescence probe towards the parallel determination of Fe 3+ , Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ and exhibited detection limits in 0.019, 0.10 and 0.79 μM, respectively. The fluorescence quenching mechanism and energy transfer mechanism were also studied in details.

Synergic effects of rare earth-magnesium based hydrides (LaH 3 -MgH 2 ) on thermal dehydrogenation of potassium borohydride (KBH 4 ) are discussed in the paper. Comparing to above 675 K for the LaH 3 -MgH 2 or KBH 4 , the dehydrogenation temperature can be decreased to 346 K for the composites (LaH 3 -MgH 2 -KBH 4 ). The apparent activation energy of desorption process for the mixture is also greatly reduced. On the other hand, the products in the temperature programmed desorption process are also illustrated.

A new rare-earth borate Na3YB8O15 was fabricated by the flux method. The compound crystallizes in the P group, and shows a three-dimensional network built by [B8O17] fundamental building blocks (FBBs) with [NaO6], [NaO7], and [YO7] polyhedra. The [B8O17] FBBs are composed of five planar BO3 and three BO4 tetrahedra and connected via corner-sharing to construct a unique one-dimensional (1D) [B8O15]∞ infinity chain that is observed for the first time in the Na2O–Y2O3–B2O3 system compound, enriching the structural diversity of rare-earth borate. The title compound exhibits a short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge of ∼195 nm and a wide experimental band gap of 5.50 eV. DFT calculations indicate that Na3YB8O15 is a direct band gap compound with a calculated GGA band gap of 5.14 eV, and the band gap is mainly determined by B 2p and O 2p orbitals. The results update the phase diagram of Na2O–Y2O3–B2O3 and enrich the diversity of rare-earth metal borates.

Microextractors are known to provide high mass transfer rates for the extraction and separation of rare-earth elements (REEs). High-throughput microextractors are essential for industrial-scale production of REEs, but few practical studies have been conducted to date. In this work, a chaotic advection microextractor, i.e., a three-stage microextractor, was designed and demonstrated to extract Pr(III) and Ce(III) efficiently from nitric acid media at high throughputs by using 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid-2-ethylhexyl ester (P507) and sulfonated kerosene as an extraction agent and a diluent, respectively. Flow visualization experiments showed that the dispersed phase could be effectively broken into small droplets owing to vortex and recirculation flows. Microextraction experiments performed under optimal extraction conditions indicated that at low throughputs, the concentration ratio D , extraction efficiency E , and separation factor β decreased with an increase in the throughput, whereas at high throughputs, D , E , and β increased with an increase in the throughput. An extraction efficiency close to that of co-current balanced extraction was successfully achieved, even at a high total throughput of 100 mL/min and a rather short residence time of 0.029 s. Thus, the chaotic advection microextractor features a high throughput and high extraction efficiency, which are appropriate for the high-efficiency extraction and separation of REEs.

Herein, a novel fluorescent indicator for the real-time monitoring of amines is described. This probe contains a complex of europium-(thenoyltrifluoroacetone) 3 (Eu(TTA) 3 ) that efficiently reacts with primary and secondary amines. The electron-withdrawing trifluoroacetyl undergoes a nucleophilic addition with amines, and the complex was used to selectively detect BuNH 2 and Et 2 NH (quenching concentration for BuNH 2 : 10 −4 m , for Et 2 NH: 1.2 × 10 −3 m ) by monitoring emission; no changes were observed in the emission spectrum of Eu(TTA) 3 in the presence of Et 3 N, [Bu 4 N]Cl, or PhNH 2 in aqueous solution (THF/H 2 O = 1:1). The ratio of emission intensity to amine concentration was linear by the least-squares fitting method.

Photocatalytic fibrous membranes are regarded as one of the most proficient materials for environmental remediation because of their excellent photocatalytic activity, porous structure, and outstanding recyclability. However, the poor dispersion performance of photocatalysts in the polymer matrix and the low migration ability to the surface constrain the development of this technology. In this study, a versatile strategy was developed to facilitate the design of hydrophilic nanofibrous membranes with promising photocatalytic activity and robust recyclability by combining the loaded rare earth element La 3+ modified TiO 2 photocatalyst, introducing hyperbranched polymers as dispersants within electro-centrifugal spinning, and applying post-treatment to construct hydrophilic sites. Significantly, the removal efficiency of the fibrous membrane materials on the dye wastewater was as high as 89.34 %, and the treatment efficiency can still reach 81.68 % after five cycles. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of organic pollutants was also analyzed. This work provides a new method for building advanced photocatalytic nanofibrous membranes, which is expected to be used in the treatment and remediation of environmental wastewater.

The extraction and separation of heavy rare earths (REs) using newly synthesized α-aminophosphonic acid extractant 2-ethylhexyl-3-(2-ethylhexylamino)pentan-3-yl phosphonic acid (HEHAPP, H A ) in n-heptane were investigated from chloride medium. The extraction stoichiometries of lanthanum , gadolinium , yttrium and lutetium are determined to be RE A 3 by the slope analysis method. The favorable separation factors of adjacent heavy REs(Ⅲ), i.e. β Y/Ho , β Er/Y , β Tm/Er , β Yb/Tm and β Lu/Yb , are determined to be 1.87, 1.36, 3.21, 3.22 and 1.93, respectively, when extracted from a binary system at proper condition. The loading capacities of H A for Ho, Er, Yb and Lu increase in the order Ho < Er < Yb < Lu with the values being 0.201, 0.205, 0.216 and 0.229 mol/L, respectively. So H A would be a potential extractant for the separation of heavy REs(Ⅲ). Among inorganic acids such as H 2 SO 4 , HNO 3 and HCl, HCl is tested to be the most effective stripping agent.

ReNiO3 (Re = Pr, Sm, Eu) solid electrolytes were prepared by the sol–gel method, which were sintered in a pure oxygen atmosphere of 20 MPa at 1000 °C for 24 hours. The DC resistivities of the three materials in air and in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere were tested respectively. The resistivities in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere were about 102, 104, and 105 times higher than those in air and XPS analysis showed that after 10%H2–Ar treatment, the proportion of Ni2+ of PrNiO3, SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 increased successively. The proton transport number of PrNiO3 was lower than 0.5 at 50–500 °C, and SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were almost pure proton conductors below 200 °C. The conductivities of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were 1.08 × 10−4 S cm−1 and 1.83 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 200 °C in 5%H2–Ar. The hydrogen sensing properties of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 show that the measurement results of the two materials were accurate in the range of 0.5–10% H2.

Various types of polyoxometalates (POMs) have been synthesized since the 19th century, but their assortment has been mostly limited to Groups 5 and 6 metals. Herein, a new family of POMs composed of a carbon group element as the addenda atoms with two distinct phases, LnPbOClO 4 -1 (Ln = Sm to Ho, Y) and LnPbOClO 4 -2 (Ln = Er and Tm) is reported. Both structures are built from [Ln 6 O 8 ] rare-earth metal hexamers being incorporated in [Pb 18 O 32 ]/[Pb 12 O 24 ] polyplumbites, and unbound perchlorates as charge-balancing anions. Impressively, YPbOClO 4 -1 and ErPbOClO 4 -2 exhibit exceptional uptake capacities (434.7 and 427.7 mg g −1 ) toward ReO 4 − , a chemical surrogate for the key radioactive fission product in the nuclear fuel cycle 99 TcO 4 − , which are the highest values among all inorganic anion-exchange materials reported until now. The sorption mechanism is clearly elucidated and visualized by single-crystal-to-single-crystal structural transformation from ErPbOClO 4 -2 to a perrhenate-containing complex ErPbOReO 4 , revealing a unique ReO 4 − uptake selectivity driven by specific interaction within Pb···O-ReO 3 − bonds.
