In the present paper, the samples of nanomaterials TiO2-SiO2:Eu3+ with different proportion of Ti/Si were prepared with the sol-gel method, and influence of the proportion of Ti/Si on the luminescence properties of samples have was studied. The structure of the samples was examined by FTIR, indicating that the compound TiO2 and SiO2 reacted, forming the new chemical bond of Ti-O-Si. The TEM of samples show that TiO2-SiO2:Eu3+ are sphericity nanoparticles with monodispersion and uniform size of 35 nm. The samples were still anatase phase after annealing at 900 degrees C, which was studied by XRD and SAED, suggesting that the bond of Ti-O-Si was conducive to the stability of anatase phase. There will be isoelectronic trap as Si4+ enters the TiO2 lattice replacing some of the Ti4+ position, and this structure is conducive to transfering energy and improving the transition of Eu3+ (7F0 --> 5D2), which were found by excitation and emission spectra.

Mechanochromic materials, known for their ability to change color in response to mechanical stimuli such as pressure, stretching, grinding, or rubbing, hold significant importance due to their diverse applications. In this study, we synthesized and characterized two novel pyridine-tethered imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine mechanoresponsive luminogens with appended tetraphenylethene, named GBY-10 and GBY-11. GBY-10 exhibited reversible mechanofluorochromism, while GBY-11 did not revert to its original color after solvent fuming.

Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) protected by molecular ligands represent a new class of second-generation near-infrared (NIR-II) luminescent materials that have been widely studied. However, the photoluminescence efficiencies of most NIR-II emitting Au NCs in aqueous solution are generally lower than 0.2%, and to fully exploit the advantages of AuNCs in the NIR-II region, improving their photoluminescence efficiency has become an urgent need.

Nonconventional Luminescent Materials (NLMs) with distinctive optical properties are garnering significant attention. A key challenge in their practical application lies in precisely controlling their emission behavior, particularly achieving excitation wavelength-independent emission, which is paramount for accurate chemical sensing. In this study, NLMs (Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4) are synthesized via a click reaction, and it is found that excitation wavelength-dependent emission correlates with molecular cluster formation.
