The direct identification of quantum cutting in Tm3+ ion and energy transfer in Tm3+/Yb3+ system based on Ba2Gd2Si4O13 oxide host

Quantum cutting (QC) is an important physical process, the occurrence of which still needs further verifying in different luminescent ions. In this work, a series of Tm3+/Yb3+ doped Ba2Gd2Si4O13 (BGS)...

Facile activation of lithium slag for the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite A with commercial quality and high removal efficiency for the isotope of radioactive 90Sr

With the quick development of lithium industry, a large amount of solid waste of lithium slag are produced. Making high value-added products from lithium slag can not only alleviate the...

Bilayered Two-Dimensional Hybrid Perovskite with the Cage-Templated Secondary Cation for High Efficiency Photodetection

Two-dimensional (2D) multilayered hybrid perovskites adopting the intrinsic quantum-well structures have shown great application potentials in the field of optoelectronics. Despite extensive studies, the candidate perovskites composed of the cage-templated...

Effects of molecular geometry on the efficiency of intramolecular charge transfer–based luminescence in o-carboranyl-substituted 1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazoles

Herein, we compared the optical properties of four compounds with an o-carborane cage linked to 1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole at the ortho- (oPC), meta- (mPC), or para-position (pPC) of the 2-phenyl ring or...

Introducing the penicillamine moiety into a metallopeptide mimicking the NiSOD enzyme: electronic and kinetic effects

The novel NiSOD related metallopeptide incorporates penicillamine moiety in the active center which alters both the electronic and kinetic features.

Phosphorus Doping Induced the Co-Construction of Sulfur Vacancies and Heterojunctions in Tin Disulfide as a Durable Anode for Lithium/Sodium-Ion Batteries

The reasonable design of electrode materials with heterojunction and vacancy is a promising strategy to elevate its electrochemical performances. Herein, tin-based sulfide composites with heterojunction and sulfur vacancy encapsulated by...

Elemental analysis: an important purity control but prone to manipulations

Elemental analysis is a powerful analytical tool for purity determination. However, it is prone to manipulations. Herein, we introduce an approach to provide original elemental analysis data, allowing verification of the currently just listed values.

Synthesis and characterization of a stable and inert Mn(II)-based Zn(II) responsive MRI probe for molecular imaging of glucose stimulated zinc secretion (GSZS)

A new potential Zn(II) responsive Mn(II)-based MRI CA candidate derived form pyclen-3,9-diacetate (3,9-PC2A) has been synthesized possessing a di-(2-picolyl)amine (DPA) moiety as an active arm. The PC2A-DPA ligand was found...
