Summary: Highly pure red light emitting Ca3B2O6:Eu(3+) phosphor was synthesized via a solution combustion method for potential application in white light emitting diodes. The synthesized phosphor exhibited characteristic emission peaks under near UV excitation, with short decay time, strong red emission, and high color purity. The structural, spectral, and luminescent properties of the phosphor were studied using XRD, FTIR, XPS, and PL spectroscopy.

Summary: By text-mining 29,900 solid-state synthesis recipes from the scientific literature, we established a knowledge base that enables the recommendation of precursor materials for the synthesis of a novel target material. Our data-driven approach learns the chemical similarity of materials and mimics human synthesis design, achieving a success rate of at least 82% when proposing precursor sets for unseen test target materials.

Summary: This study provides a report on optical and structural investigations of Mn4+-activated (ZnxMg1-x)(2)TiO4 red phosphors synthesized at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1200 degrees C. The formation of solid solutions with an inverse spinel structure shows features similar to Mg2TiO4 and Zn2TiO4, leading to differences in photoluminescence intensity and competing processes of Mn incorporation in different charge states. Additionally, the highest intensity of Mn4+ red photoluminescence is obtained in the (Zn0.25Mg0.75)(2)TiO4 phosphor sintered at 1100 degrees C, demonstrating a significant improvement compared to similar phosphors.

Summary: A composition-driven structural phase transition in the ferroelectric PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) system near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) has been investigated. The system exhibits a coexistence of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases. The Raman spectrum and photoluminescence emission spectrum provide insights into the structural transition and the resonance Raman effect in PZT ceramics.

Summary: The excitation and emission spectra of BaSO3Cl2:Ce3+ phosphor were studied, with the emission intensity found to be related to the relative Ce3+ concentration. The prepared samples were characterized using various methods, and no additional emission band was observed in the emission spectra, indicating that the Ce3+ ion occupied a specific site in the host phosphor.

Summary: Eu3+- or Dy3+-doped YNbO4 phosphors were prepared via solid-state reaction technique with different concentrations of activator ions. The optimal doping concentrations for high-color-purity yellow- and red-emitting phosphors were found to be 5 mol% Dy3+ and 15 mol% Eu3+, respectively.

Summary: In this study, two cementitious composites were tested using techniques such as atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy, and the results were compared with Mori-Tanaka's mean-field approximation and Herve-Zaoui's layered-inclusion approximation. The findings show that these micromechanics theories can accurately predict the homogenized stiffness and individual phase responses of the materials, and combining in-situ X-ray measurements with these theories provides a novel route for inferring the properties of specific phases.

Summary: In this study, a simple strategy was demonstrated for constructing low-tortuosity through-pores in both vertical and planar directions of electrodes by casting large particles into single-particle-layer electrodes. Through multi-scale characterizations and simulations, correlations between material/electrode structures, electrolyte permeability, polysulfide migration, and sulfur reactions were elucidated. The high-loading and dense sulfur cathode fabricated by this method delivers a high specific capacity at a very low electrolyte/sulfur ratio.

Summary: Waste plastics can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to natural aggregates in concrete manufacture, but the weak bond strength between waste plastic aggregates and cement matrix limits their use. This study explores the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and nanosilica (nS) to enhance the interactions between the matrix and aggregates in cementitious composites with recycled waste plastics (RWPs), improving their recycling potential and waterproofing performance.

Summary: In this study, a series of Sm3+/Tb3+ co-doped CaMoO4 phosphors were synthesized by an efficient method of microwave-assisted heating. The research focused on the characterization and performance analysis of the synthesized phosphors. The results showed that the light-emitting region of the phosphors can be controlled by adjusting the molar ratio of Sm3+/Tb3+ ions, making them a promising material for color-tunable phosphors in white-LEDs.

Summary: Eu3+-based phosphors exhibit strong O2--Eu3+ charge transfer absorption, while f-f absorptions in the NUV range are suppressed due to the parity-forbidden law. The successful substitution of Eu3+ for Y3+ in LiSr(Y1-xEux)(2)(BO3)(3) was confirmed by the expansion of unit cell volume, paving the way for the development of NUV LED pumped red phosphors.

Summary: ADSC studies on Ge17Te83-xTlx glasses show that glass transition temperature decreases with increasing thallium concentration, with significant decrease in the composition range 0 <= x <= 6. Two crystallization temperatures have been observed in the composition range 2 <= x <= 10, indicating phase separation in glasses within this range. The change in enthalpy due to non-reversing part of heat flow is small and fairly constant, suggesting easy structural re-organization and agreement with memory type electrical switching observed in these samples.
