A series of novel phosphates with the general formulas Ca9Gd0.9−xTm0.1Smx(PO4)7 and Ca9Gd0.9−yTmySm0.1(PO4)7 were synthesized by solid-state method. As-obtained phosphates were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and second harmonic generation analyses, dielectric measurements, luminescence spectroscopy. All samples were single phase and characterized by the whitlockite-type structure with space group R3c. An influence of admixture concentration of REE3+ ions in the initial host on dielectric properties was studied in details. Synthesized phosphates are characterized by intensive luminescence. The emission in the orange region of the visible spectrum is observed for Ca9Gd0.9Sm0.1(PO4)7 with a maximum intensity band at 602 nm. The line in blue region at 455 nm, which corresponds to 1D2 → 3F4 Tm3+ transition, is registered for Ca9Gd0.9Tm0.1(PO4)7. Emission in the white region of CIE coordinates was registered for Tm-Sm co-doped compounds.

Chiral cyclic molecules are some of the most important compounds in nature, and are widely used in the fields of drugs, materials, synthesis, etc. Enantioselective photocatalysis has become a powerful tool for organic synthesis of chiral cyclic molecules. Herein, this review summarized the research progress in the synthesis of chiral cyclic compounds by photocatalytic cycloaddition reaction in the past 5 years, and expounded the reaction conditions, characters, and corresponding proposed mechanism, hoping to guide and promote the development of this field.

This chapter focuses on advancements in the green synthesis approach for nanomaterials and their environmental applications. The eco-friendly, cost-effective, and simple synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles on the environmental applications are discussed. The first section presents an introduction with the basic topics of the green materials synthesis. The second section summarizes the green chemical methods through different routes (precipitation synthesis, electrospinning synthesis, reflux condensation synthesis, hydrothermal, microwave-assisted hydrothermal methods) and the green routes using biological systems from biosynthetic process to synthesize nanoparticles and biosynthesis of passivating nanofilms using spontaneous formation. In the third section, the environmental and energy applications of nanomaterials, including solar cells, photocatalysis, and biohydrogen production are discussed. Therefore, the scientific community can experience the relation of the achieved nanomaterials with their plentiful application possibilities onto the environmental remediation.

The morphological and textural characteristics of various silicas (93 fumed silicas and 56 porous silicas), different carbons (230), and porous polymers (53) are analyzed using probe (nitrogen, argon, benzene, n-decane, water) adsorption, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transition (TEM), scanning (SEM) electron and atom force (AFM) microscopies. There are certain correlations between pore volume (Vp) and specific surface area (SSA, SBET) for these materials. Synthesis and treatment temperatures affect this relationship since a linear Vp - SBET approximation scatter decreases with decreasing these temperatures. Silicas are composed of nonporous nanoparticles (NPNP), but activated carbons (AC) are composed of porous nanoparticles (PNP). For different materials, NP are weakly or strongly packed in secondary structures. However, there are general features of pore size distributions (PSD) for NP-based materials, e.g., minimal contribution of narrow mesopores of 3-5 nm in radius due NP-packing effects. For AC produced using the same chars and activation agents but with varied activation time, the textural characteristics demonstrate smooth changes with increasing burn-off degree: nanopores partially transform into narrow mesopores with opposite PSD shifts of broad mesopores and macropores. Comparison of adsorption (open pores accessible for probes) and SAXS (both open and closed pores) data for carbons shows that the difference decreases with increasing burn-off degree due to decreasing contribution of closed pores. Most clear pictures on the particulate morphology and texture could be obtained in parallel analysis using adsorption, SAXS, and microscopic methods with appropriate data treatments.
