A single-phased Mn(4+) doped fluorozirconate red phosphor, K3ZrF7:Mn(4+), has been successfully synthesized. Its structure, morphology, composition and optical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and by using luminescence decay curves. It was found that Mn(4+) ions only coordinating with seven F(-) anions in a K3ZrF7 crystal field can possess intense red emission under blue light illumination. Mixing the obtained K3ZrF7:Mn(4+) red phosphor with commercial Y3Al5O12:Ce(3+) and coating the mixture on a blue-GaN chip, obvious warm white light with a low correlated color temperature (2970 K) and a high color rendering index (Ra = 91.4 and R9 = 72) were achieved from white light-emitting diode devices.

Localized symmetry has been shown to significantly impact the luminescence behavior of Mn ions through the electron-phonon coupling process. Building on this characteristic, three types of inverse spinel structure oxides (MgXO, where X = Ti, Ti/Ge, Ge) doped with Mn were developed, exhibiting strong red emission when exposed to UV and blue light. A thorough examination reveals that the symmetric improvement of the Mn sites within the octahedral environment leads to significant changes in their luminescence behavior, including a suppression of zero-phonon-line (ZPL) emission, a blueshift, and an extension of the luminescence lifetime.

Improving the catalyst performance for the thermal oxidation reaction faces the daunting challenge of the activity-stability trade-off. Herein, an evolved heterointerface was constructed on spherical MnO nanocatalysts to achieve exceptional stability while maintaining adequate activity by simply introducing La. The generation of the active MnO-MnO heterointerfaces by La doping was experimentally observed, which further segregates to the surface during thermal aging and forms epitaxially grown heterostructured LaMnO-MnO with Mn atoms.

The development of high-sensitivity thermometers has become increasingly important in recent years as the demand for noncontact optical temperature measurement has grown. Herein, we report a series of SrScOF:Mn,Nd (SSOF:Mn,Nd) phosphors synthesized by the traditional high-temperature solid-state method for high-performance temperature sensing. SrScOF possesses a [ScO6F] octahedron and [SrO9F] tridecahedron, doped Mn ions occupy the octahedral sites and emit deep red light at 650-750 nm, and doped Nd ions occupy the tridecahedral sites and emit near-infrared light.

Pyroptosis has gained attention for its potential to reinvigorate the immune system within the tumor microenvironment. However, current approaches employing pyroptosis inducers suffer from limitations. They primarily rely on single agents, lack precise targeting, and potentially disrupt the intricate bone formation microenvironment, hindering local repair of tumor-induced bone defects.

Previous studies have confirmed that MnO removes heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water with dual effects of adsorption and oxidation coupling, significantly improving the ability to remove impurities. Nanometal oxides have a highly reactive surface but tend to agglomerate during preparation and are challenging to recycle after use. A common method is to combine nano-MnO with FeO to prepare magnetic materials for easy recycling.
