Summary: Particle size plays a crucial role in up-conversion luminescence tuning and application research. In this study, CeO2:Yb3+/Er3+ nanospheres were synthesized via coprecipitation, and their up-conversion emissions were investigated. The results showed that the nanosphere size decreased as the Yb3+ doping concentration increased, leading to an increase in the red-green emission intensity ratio. This phenomenon might be attributed to the strengthened nonradiative relaxation process and the enhanced energy back-transfer process.

Summary: In this study, Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped LaNbO4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared using the modified molten salt method. By optimizing the synthesis parameters, nanoparticles of different sizes were controllably prepared, which effectively improved the temperature measurement sensitivity. Measuring results showed that the sensitivity of the temperature sensor increased from 0.0204 to 0.024 K-1 as the size of LaNbO4: Yb3+/Tm3+ nanoparticles decreased from 140 to 100 nm. The luminescent ions located on the surface of the nanoparticles played a dominant role in the heat exchange process with the environment, exhibiting higher thermometric sensitivity. Excellent temperature resolution ability (0.027 K) was achieved at 210 K. In summary, Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped LaNbO4 nanoparticles are promising candidates for temperature measurement.

Summary: Inorganic luminescent materials that can be excited with NIR radiation and emit in the visible spectrum have gained scientific interest. This study reports the synthesis and optical properties of K2Gd(PO4)(WO4):Ho3+ and K2Gd(PO4)(WO4):20%Yb3+,Ho3+ powders. The samples were prepared by solid-state reaction, and it was observed that no concentration quenching was observed in K2Gd(PO4)(WO4):Ho3+ samples. However, adding 20% Yb3+ caused a decrease in Ho3+ emission intensity. Additionally, K2Gd(PO4)(WO4):20%Yb3+,0.5%Ho3+ sample showed high up-conversion emission stability and the red/green emission ratio increased with temperature, which could be used for temperature sensing.

Summary: In this study, Mn2+/Ln(3+)-doped NaGdF4:Ce nanoparticles with subtly tuned multicolor output were successfully synthesized. The nanoparticles exhibited blue, green, and red emission bands in the visible region due to effective energy transfer between Ce3+ and Mn2+/Ln(3+). White emission was achieved through resonance-type energy transfer with suitable doping ratios of Ce3+, Dy3+, and Eu3+. These nanoparticles show potential applications in white-light emitters, full-color displays, and photonic devices.

Summary: This study proposes a method of using self-assembled hybrid aerogel filled with carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets to improve the leakage behavior and heat transfer performance of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The resulting PEG/CGA composite phase change materials (c-PCMs) exhibit excellent thermal cycling stability and fast temperature rise rate. The introduction of carbon nanotubes not only enhances the adsorption capacity of the c-PCMs and alleviates the leakage of PEG, but also improves the heat transfer performance.

Summary: Light adaptation allows the vertebrate visual system to function in different lighting conditions. Through single-cell RNA sequencing, it was found that various retinal cell types, including Müller glial cells (MGs), undergo dynamic molecular changes and communicate with other cells during light adaptation. The thyroid hormone signaling pathway plays a role in coordinating this intercellular communication and adjusting mitochondrial respiration in response to light conditions.
