Summary: By studying the effect of different Yb3+ concentrations on Er3+ and Yb3+ co-doped phosphors, it was found that increasing the concentration of Yb3+ decreases the visible emission intensity of Er3+ but increases the near-infrared emission of Yb3+. Furthermore, Yb3+ can enhance the up-conversion luminescence of Er3+. The results suggest that the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Er3+ ions is reversible.

Summary: By controlling the phase separation of VO43- and rare earth precursors in reverse microemulsions, functionalisable YVO4 nanoparticles with nanopores of around 7 +/- 3 nm were successfully synthesized. Doping with Eu3+ allowed luminescent probing of interfacial crystallisation, while the absorption of xylenol orange indicated molecular encapsulation in particle cavities. This provides potential multifunctional systems for optical sensing, combining UV-Vis-NIR luminescence and (photo)active molecules.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.

Summary: In this work, two metal organic frameworks (MOFs) containing {Cu2I2} clusters, Eu-CuI-INA and Sr-K-CuI-INA, were synthesized and characterized. Both materials have a three-dimensional structure with {Cu2I2} clusters coordinated by INA(-) ligands and Eu3+ or Sr2+ ions. The Sr-K-CuI-INA material exhibited sensitive fluorescence sensing behaviors towards cysteine and nitro-bearing molecules, showing potential applications in bio and explosive molecule sensing.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.
