Summary: This study reported single monoclinic phase Mn4+-doped Sr2InTaO6 (SITO) phosphors in terms of their luminescence behaviors and potential applications. The optimized Mn4+-doped SITO (0.3 mol%) exhibited a good color purity of 92.9% in a deep-red region with a chromaticity coordinate of (0.707, 0.293). The local structure of Mn4+ in the SITO matrix was determined, and the crystal-field strength and nephelauxetic ratio were calculated. Furthermore, a flexible SITO:Mn4+-YAG:Ce3+ security film was fabricated for anti-counterfeiting applications, showing the ability to emit different colors under various lighting sources.

Summary: A series of SrGd2O4 samples doped with different concentrations of Sm3+ and Dy3+ were prepared through glycine-assisted combustion synthesis. X-ray Powder Diffraction investigation confirmed the presence of pure orthorhombic lattice SrGd2O4. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy showed that the desired elements were incorporated in the structure. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed the morphology of the samples as porous aggregated particles consisting of approximately 50 nm-sized spherical particles. Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry demonstrated the presence of a real permanent 3D pore structure. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy confirmed the successful incorporation of Dy3+ and Sm3+ ions. Down-conversion luminescence spectra showed typical emission transitions for Sm3+ and Dy3+ ions. The energy band gap of the doped samples was calculated to be 4.3 eV using UV-VIS Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy. UV-VIS Absorption Spectroscopy observed the photocatalytic degradation process, with approximately 50% of Rhodamine B being mineralized after 4 hours of simulated Sun exposure.

Summary: Changing the Ga:Al ratio modulates the energy gap and modifies the spectroscopic properties of the phosphors. The stabilization of the Gd3Ga5O12 garnet structure by Al3+ ions widens the energy gap. Increasing Ga content leads to a decrease in the energy gap, affecting the interaction between oxygen ligands and luminescent ions.

Summary: This paper synthesized a new phosphor NaGdSb2O7 (NGSO) using the high-temperature solid-phase method. By studying the luminous intensity of Dy and Eu under different doping conditions and adjusting the doping ratio, the transition from cold white light to warm white fluorescence emission was achieved. Additionally, partial replacement of Sb with Nb changed the band gap and band structure, leading to enhanced light intensity. Experimental results using various methods showed that NGSO: Dy, Eu, Nb phosphors have potential applications in the field of white LEDs.

Summary: In this study, a blue-light-excitable red-emitting phosphor Ce3+-doped SrLaScO4 (SLO:Ce3+) was discovered. Spectroscopy and structural analyses confirmed that Ce3+ ions competitively occupied the [LaO8] polyhedrons, generating a strong crystal field splitting and a large Stokes shift, resulting in a red emission. Furthermore, incorporating a large electronegative Ga3+ in the Sc3+ site effectively enhanced the thermal stability of SLO:Ce3+ by suppressing the thermally stimulated ionization process, thereby presenting a general design principle for discovering novel Ce3+-doped red phosphors with good thermal stability for white light-emitting diode (WLED) applications.

Summary: The present study demonstrates the tuning of structural, topography, and luminescence properties of 30 keV Li-ion implanted (K, Na)NbO3 thin films synthesized using RF sputtering. The results show that the crystallinity and morphology of the films are affected by Li-ion implantation, with a decrease in crystallinity and a change in the morphology. The transmittance of the films is minimally improved, while the optical band gap and the relative PL intensity in the ultraviolet region are increased with the ion fluence. The carrier lifetime is also increased after ion implantation.

Summary: This paper proposes a strategy to regulate the non-metal atom sulfur and oxyphilic transition metal atom iron to optimize the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction performance of metallic nickel. The results show that this regulation method can significantly enhance the activity of nickel catalyst, enabling it to achieve high current density at lower overpotential. Experimental results demonstrate that the sulfur and iron regulation can optimize the adsorption of hydrogen and water, thereby improving the performance of the hydrogen evolution reaction, and the derived sulfur-doped NiFe hydroxyl oxide enhances the performance of the oxygen evolution reaction.

Summary: This paper demonstrates the enhancement of the magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effect through transition-layer implantation in co-fired lead-free laminated composite (80Bi(0.5)Na(0.5)TiO(3)-20Bi(0.5)K(0.5)TiO(3))/(Ni0.8Zn0.2)Fe2O4 (BNKT/NZFO). The introduction of a transition layer composed of particulate ME composite 0.5BNKT-0.5NZFO effectively connects the two-phase interface and strengthens interface stress transfer. Optimal ME voltage coefficients of 144 mV/(cm center dot Oe) at 1 kHz and 1.05 V/(cm center dot Oe) at the resonant frequency were achieved with a layer thickness ratio of 3:1:6. The results also show a large magnetodielectric (MD) response of 3.95% under a magnetic field excitation of 4 kOe, highlighting the potential of transition-layer implantation in enhancing the ME response in laminated composites.

Summary: In this work, a multicomponent transition metal catalyst Cr-Cu/CoOx was loaded on copper foam by electrodeposition and annealing, and exhibited excellent electrochemical activity. The HER overpotential is 21 mV and the OER overpotential is 252 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The overall water splitting voltage is 1.51 V, even better than the Pt/C//RuO2 two-electrode system (1.61 V). The excellent performance of this catalyst is mainly derived from the synergistic interaction among Cu, Co, and Cr.

Summary: Highly durable and active PtCuCo nanoframes were prepared as enhanced bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in acidic environment. The PtCuCo nanoframes exhibited remarkable activity and durability due to their ternary compositions and structure-fortifying frame structures. The specific/mass activity of PtCuCo nanoframes for ORR in perchloric acid solution was 12.8/7.5 times as large as that of commercial Pt/C, while for MOR in sulfuric acid solution, the mass/specific activity was 5.4/9.4 times as large as that of Pt/C. This work may provide a promising nanoframe material for developing dual catalysts for fuel cells.

Summary: Ammonia borane (AB, NH3BH3) is a promising hydrogen storage material due to its high hydrogen content, low molecular weight, high solubility, high stability, and non-toxicity. However, the slow rate of hydrogen release from AB in pure water has led to research on catalysts. Metal oxides have shown potential as catalysts for the hydrolysis of AB, but oxidation and agglomeration of transition metals hinder their activity and stability. This review summarizes the research progress on metal oxide-based catalysts, discussing their preparation methods, compositional structures, performance optimization, hydrolysis mechanisms, and future prospects.
