Article Synopsis
- Fluorine-containing waste can be repurposed into useful materials, specifically for creating fluoride-based luminescent matrices for high-value applications.
- By replacing traditional pure fluoride with this waste, researchers developed a near-infrared (NIR) glass-ceramic photocatalyst that maintains its effectiveness post-synthesis.
- The new photocatalyst shows impressive degradation rates for pollutants like methyl orange and enrofloxacin under NIR light, achieving a significant 93% degradation of enrofloxacin in just 15 minutes, while also being stable and easily regenerated.
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) material as a compensator is very important for accurately controlling the thermal expansion of materials. Along with the magnitude of the coefficient of thermal expansion, the operating temperature window of the NTE materials is also a major concern. However, only a few of the NTE materials possess both a large operating temperature range and a large thermal expansion coefficient.

Nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2-8 mol%Y2O3, 8YSZ) was synthesized by a homogeneous precipitation process using urea as the precipitation agent. Zirconia (ZrO2) transparent ceramics samples have been successfully fabricated by a microwave sintering process at low temperature. The technologies of low-temperature microwave sintering and the relationships of the microstructures and properties of the specified samples have been investigated in detail.
