The enhancement of red emission of YVO:Eu nanocrystals by Li codoping has been achieved. The effect of Li codoping on the crystalline properties and the luminescence of Eu has been thoroughly studied. An increase of the unit cell volume and crystallinity of the nanocrystals is observed as the concentration of Li codoping increases. The lattice expansion could be related to occupation of the interstitial sites by the Li ions. The nanocrystals appear to be assemblies of rodlike nanostructures along with cube-shaped rough nanostructures of uniform size. The optimum concentration of Li codoping for luminescence enhancement is found to be 5 at. % at which Eu emission is increased by about 2.5 times. The fall in Eu emission after codoping of Li (7-15 at. %) is observed. Is it the increased crystallinity (i.e., the size) or the lattice expansion that poses a limit to luminescence enhancement? Annealing at 500 and 850 °C increased the luminescence emission by threefold and fivefold, respectively. The samples are readily dispersible in deionized water and incorporated easily in the flexible polymer film made of polyvinylidene fluoride. The dispersion-in-water shows bright red luminescence as low as 50 μg/mL. The emission intensity of the dispersion decreases linearly with concentration with a slope almost equal to unity. The dispersion and the flexible film do not show luminescence degradation under the influence of oxidizing HO medium. The oxidant-resistant nature with enhanced luminescence could serve as a suitable red emitter for lighting and display applications.

Estimating spatiotemporal maps of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is important for understanding climate change and developing mitigation strategies. However, current methods face challenges, including the coarse resolution of numerical models, and gaps in satellite data, making it essential to improve the spatiotemporal estimation of GHGs. This study aims to develop an advanced technique to produce high-fidelity (1 km) maps of CO and CH over the Arabian Peninsula, a highly vulnerable region to climate change.

1,4-Azaborine-based arenes are promising electroluminescent emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), offering narrow emission spectra and high quantum yields due to a multi-resonance (MR) effect. However, their practical application is constrained by their limited operational stability. This study investigates the degradation mechanism of MR-TADF molecules.

Food freshness monitoring and volatile amine detection are key to food safety. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of mixed-valence rhenium oxide quantum dots (MV-ReOQDs), synthesized via the hydrothermal reaction of α-cyclodextrin and rhenium ion precursors, in triethylamine (TEA) sensing. Spectroscopic correlation techniques showed that the developed MV-ReOQDs possessed mixed-valent rhenium, α-cyclodextrin as capped ligand, partially carbonized surface, and amorphous phase structure.

The purpose of this review is to gain attention about intro the advanced and green technology that has dual action for both clean wastewater and produce energy. Water scarcity and the continuous energy crisis have arisen as major worldwide concerns, requiring the creation of ecologically friendly and sustainable energy alternatives. The rapid exhaustion of fossil resources needs the development of alternative energy sources that reduce carbon emissions while maintaining ecological balance.
