The Li1.20[Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]0.80-xYbxO2 (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) cathode materials have been synthesized by using sol-gel method and characterized by means of XRD, SEM, ICP-OES analysis. The galvanostatic charge-discharge tests results showed the improved electrochemical properties were obtained through the Yb3+ doping modification. With the increase of Yb3+ doping content, the capacity retentions enhanced from 85.6% to 88.9% and then decrease to 86.5% after 100 cycles with x = 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03, respectively, while the un-doped sample delivered the capacity retention of 83.0%. Besides, the discharge capacity of Li1.20 [Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]0.78Yb0.02O2 was about 23.1 mAh g-1 larger than that of un-doped sample at 5C high rate. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetric results indicated that the Yb3+ doping modification could suppress the layered-spinel phase transformation during cycling and maintain a lower value of charge transfer impedance.

Near-infrared optical thermometers have sparked great interest for their ability to provide non-destructive testing and high-resolution. However, the restricted relative sensitivity and single temperature measurement mode represent the current limitations of luminescent thermometers. Herein, near-infrared dual-mode ratiometric thermometers with high sensitivity in La(MoO): Yb, Ln (LMO: YbLn, Ln = Er, Ho, Nd) phosphors were designed.

In the present work, BaSrSiO: Yb and CaSrSiO: Yb (Yb = 0 mol %, 1 mol %, 2 mol % and 3 mol %) nanophosphors were synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and their comparative structural and optical properties were studied to demonstrate the effect of Yb ion on the characteristic properties of the prepared nanophosphors. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of BaSrSiO:Yb and CaSrSiO:Yb suggest the formation of a single-phase orthorhombic structure with space groups Pbnm and Pna21, respectively. The Raman shifts in BaSrSiO (BSS) and CaSrSiO (CSS) indicate out-of-phase bending of Sr-O and symmetric stretching of Si-O.

Recent advancements in materials design have driven the scientific community to explore phosphor materials for multifunctional applications. This study presents the multimodal light emission (downshifting - DS, quantum cutting - QC, and upconversion - UC) from Pr/Yb activated NaLa(MoO) phosphors for multifunctional applications. Under blue (449 nm) and NIR (980 nm) excitation, co-doped phosphors emit visible light through DS and UC processes caused by different f-f transitions of Pr ions.

In the framework of luminescent rare-earth-doped glasses for near-infrared applications, TiO-containing inorganic glasses have been recently demonstrated to be a promising alternative to commercially used high-phonon SiO-based glasses. This study investigates the effect of TiO concentration on the near-infrared spectroscopic properties of Yb ions in multicomponent titanate-germanate glasses. A series of glass samples in the xTiO-(60-x)GeO-BaO-GaO-YbO system (x ranging from 0 to 50 mol%) were synthesized using the melt-quenching technique.
