Summary: Two novel organic-inorganic decavanadate materials with protonated amines were prepared and characterized by X-Ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and IR spectroscopy. The crystal packing of both compounds is governed by non-covalent intermolecular forces, with important contributions from O-H and H-H bonds. The photoluminescence properties and UV-Vis absorption spectra indicate that both compounds exhibit blue and green emissions upon violet light irradiation.

Summary: This study theoretically examined the inactivation potency of quercetin and flavonoid catecholic metabolites 1-5 on HOO center dot, CH3OO center dot, and O-2(center dot-) under physiological conditions. The results showed that the catecholic moiety of quercetin and metabolites 1-5 played a crucial role in scavenging HOO center dot and CH3OO center dot. Metabolites 1 and 5 were identified as the most potent scavengers of HOO center dot and CH3OO center dot, respectively. Quercetin exhibited higher potency in inactivating HOO center dot and CH3OO center dot via single electron transfer. The SET reaction from the 3-O-phenoxide anion of quercetin represented the most contributing reaction path. Furthermore, all polyphenolic compounds studied showed potency in inactivating O-2(center dot-) through a concerted two-proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism. These findings suggest that metabolites with high radical scavenging potency and enhanced bioavailability may contribute to the health-promoting effects attributed to parent molecules.

Summary: Undoped and Dy3+-activated Sr2B2O5 phosphors were synthesized and annealed to improve crystallinity. The phosphors exhibited characteristic peaks in the UV and near UV regions and emitted blue, yellow, red, and brownish red light. The addition of dopant ions increased the optical bandgap values and the average lifetime of the phosphors was determined to be 0.78 ms. The prepared phosphors are considered promising candidates for use in yellow light emitting W-LEDs.

Summary: A series of single-phase white-light-emitting BaGa2O4:xDy3+ (x = 0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,1) phosphors have been synthesized using solid-state reaction technique. The XRD analysis shows that the phosphors are single-phase and the SEM study reveals micrometer-sized particles. The BaGa2O4:xDy3+ phosphors emit white light with peaks at specific wavelengths, and their color coordinates are identical to conventional white light. The phosphors also exhibit good ML response at varied impact velocities and can be used for damage and pressure sensors. TL analysis shows a single glow curve of similar shape, and the TL parameters have been calculated.

Summary: This study focuses on the preparation and properties of Tm3+/Dy3+ single and co-doped SrO-MgO-B2O3 (SMB) glasses. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the thermal stability of the glass. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were utilized to analyze the structure and vibrations of the glasses. The results show that the glasses have high transmittance and can be efficiently excited by near-ultraviolet (NUV) light. The co-doped glasses can achieve tunable emission from blue light to cool white and warm white light.

Summary: This paper presents a chemical strategy for obtaining nanoparticles of the RbxMn[Fe(CN)(6)]((x+2)/3)center dot nH(2)O (RbMnFe) Prussian blue analogue in a direct manner, aiming to maintain its switching ability at the nanoscale. The study found that smaller particles had lower rubidium content, potentially affecting the observation of switching properties on very small particles. The results show the potential for creating switchable particles without surfactants, and the importance of this work in processing nanoparticles into devices.

Summary: The luminescent performance of Ba3Lu4O9:Dy3+,Eu3+ phosphors was studied, including energy transfer, spectral tunability, fluorescent lifetime, and thermal quenching behavior. The characteristic emission of Dy3+ and Eu3+ was observed upon excitation at different UV-Vis wavelengths. The critical distance between dysprosium and europium ions was calculated as approximately 16.05 Å. Energy transfer from dysprosium to europium in Ba3Lu4O9 was attributed to the dipole-quadruple mechanism, with an efficiency of 81.8% for Ba3Lu3.52O9:0.16Dy3+,0.32Eu3+. The tunable warm-white emission and high thermal stability make this phosphor a promising alternative for white LEDs application.

Summary: Cs3Cu2I5 has attracted widespread attention due to its low cost, high photo-luminescence quantum yield, green and non-toxic properties. By introducing Mn2+ into Cs3Cu2I5 through solid-state ball milling method, the crystal structure of Cs3Cu2I5 was minimally affected. Copper ions and manganese ions were found to exist stably as Cu+ and Mn2+ respectively. Mn2+ doping led to the emergence of a new emission peak at 560 nm, achieving dual color luminescence. The material also exhibited excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for solid-state lighting and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of alkoxy groups on the adsorption, dye aggregation, and charge recombination process in dye-sensitized solar cells. It is found that alkoxy chains can not only shield but also assist dye adsorption and inhibit charge recombination by covering the TiO2 surface effectively. The existence of alkyl chains can also inhibit dye aggregation and reduce intermolecular electron transfer. Additionally, the Ti-O interaction between the alkoxy group and the Ti atom at the surface contributes substantially to interface stability. These findings provide new insights for the rational design of high-performance sensitizers.
