The structure of lithium nona-cerium hexa-deca-molybdenum penta-trideca-oxide, LiCe(9)Mo(16)O(35), is isotypic with LiNd(9)Mo(16)O(35) [Gougeon Gall, Cuny, Gautier, Le Polles, Delevoye & Trebosc (2011 ▶). Chem. Eur. J.17, 13806-13813]. It is characterized by Mo(16)O(26) (i)O(10) (a) units (where i = inner and a = apical) containing Mo(16) clusters that share some of their O atoms to form infinite molybdenum cluster chains running parallel to the b axis and separated by Li(+) and Ce(3+) cations. The Mo(16) cluster units are centred at Wyckoff positions 2c and have point-group symmetry 2/m. The Li(+) atom, in a flattened octa-hedron of O atoms, is in a 2a Wyckoff position with 2/m symmetry. The Ce(3+) cations have coordination numbers to the O atoms of 6, 9 or 10. Two Ce, two Mo and five O atoms lie on sites with m symmetry (Wyckoff site 4i), and one Ce and one O atom on sites with 2/m symmetry (Wyckoff sites 2b and 2d, respectively).

Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials have attracted much attention because of their mechano-optical conversion characteristics, which have shown broad application prospects in stress sensing and anti-counterfeiting technology in the past few decades. However, elastico-ML has not been demonstrated at the near-ultraviolet (NUV) range. In this study, a novel NUV elastico-ML material (Ca, Sr)MgAlSiO:Ce (CSMASOC) with a melilite-type structure is successfully developed.

Cerium oxide, or ceria, (CeO) is one of the most studied materials for its wide range of applications in heterogeneous catalysis and energy conversion technologies. The key feature of ceria is the remarkable oxygen storage capacity linked to the switch between Ce and Ce states, in turn creating oxygen vacancies. Changes in the electronic structure occur with oxygen removal from the lattice.

Accurately predicting spectra for heavy elements, often open-shell systems, is a significant challenge typically addressed using a single cluster approach with a fixed coordination number. Developing a realistic model that accounts for temperature effects, variable coordination numbers, and interprets experimental data is even more demanding due to the strong solute-solvent interactions present in solutions of heavy metal cations. This study addresses these challenges by combining multiple methodologies to accurately predict realistic spectra for highly charged metal cations in aqueous media, with a focus on the electronic absorption spectrum of Ce3+ in water.

Regulating defect distribution in inorganic phosphors is paramount for realizing multimode dual-field optical signals for high security level identification but remains an ongoing challenge. Here, we propose a strategy of equivalent anion doping and nonequivalent cation doping to successfully regulate the trap distribution and density in Ba(PO)Cl:F,Eu,Ce (BPCF-AG) phosphors. Due to the coexistence of shallow and deep traps for different photon processes, the BPCF-AG exhibits simultaneous photochromism in a bright field and tetramode luminescence (photoluminescence, afterglow, 980 nm photostimulated luminescence, and 650/532 nm photostimulated afterglow) in a dark field.

The necessity for high operational temperatures presents a considerable obstacle to the commercial viability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The introduction of active co-dopant ions to polycrystalline solid structures can directly impact the physiochemical and electrical properties of the resulting composites including crystallite size, lattice parameters, ionic and electronic conductivity, sinterability, and mechanical strength. This study proposes cobalt-iron-substituted gadolinium-doped ceria (CoFeGDC) as an innovative, nickel-free anode composite for developing ceramic fuel cells.
