Lithium triborate LiB₃O:Eu has been prepared by precipitation assisted high-temperature solid state (PAS) reaction method using lithium hydroxide (LiOH), boric acid (H₃BO₃) and europium chloride (EuCl₃). The as prepared powders were calcined at various temperatures. As prepared and calcined powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS), UV-Vis spectrometry and Photoluminescence (PL). The XRD profiles of the powder products revealed the presence of crystalline phase at 650 °C. Increasing bandgap with increasing dopant concentration was studied by UV-Vis spectra. The effect of dopant concentration on photoluminescence properties of LiB₃O was also studied. The optimized Eu dopant concentration for potential luminescent LiB₃O phosphor was 0.25 mol%.

Fluorinated graphdiyne (F-GDY) materials exhibit exceptional performance in various applications, such as luminescent devices, electron transport, and energy conversion. Although F-GDY has been successfully synthesized, there is a lack of comprehensive identification of fluorinated configurations, either by theory or experiment. In this work, we investigated seven representative F-GDY configurations with low dopant concentrations and simulated their carbon and fluorine 1s X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and carbon 1s near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra.

The distribution of dopants in host crystals significantly influences the chemical and electronic properties of materials. Therefore, determining this distribution is crucial for optimizing material performance. The previously developed statistical ALCHEMI (St-ALCHEMI), an extension of the atom-location by channeling-enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI) technique, utilizes variations in electron channeling based on the beam direction relative to the crystal orientation.

Bone defects resulting from trauma or diseases that lead to bone loss have created a growing need for innovative materials suitable for treating bone-related conditions. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to synthesize and analyse the synergistic effects of cerium (Ce) and cerium-silver (Ce-Ag) doping of borosilicate bioactive glass (BBG) on the bioactivity, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility for potential applications in bone tissue engineering. This study utilized a sol-gel Stöber method to synthesize doped BBGs based on S49B4.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are one of the most widely used nanoparticulate materials due to their antimicrobial properties. However, the current use of ZnO NPs is hindered by their potential cytotoxicity concerns, which are likely attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the dissolution of particles to ionic zinc. To reduce the cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs, transitional metals are introduced into ZnO lattices to modulate the ROS production and NP dissolution.
