In this paper, novel green-emitting Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors with zero-thermal quenching of Tb3+ have been prepared and investigated. X-ray diffraction together with Rietveld structure refinement was employed to give an insight into the structures of the samples. The luminescence spectra at 300 K and 80 K confirmed that the Ce3+ ions in Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+ were distributed randomly on the cation sites and gave intense emission. Utilizing the Ce3+ → Tb3+ energy transfer, intense green emitting Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+,Tb3+ had been obtained. The energy migration mechanism of Ce3+ in Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+ and the energy transfer mechanism of Ce3+ → Tb3+ in Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+,Tb3+ were determined by the analysis of photoluminescence spectra and decay curves. Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:Ce3+,Tb3+ exhibited a thermal-induced enhancement of Tb3+ emission at 25-300 °C, indicating an excellent thermal stability. Moreover, utilizing our prepared Sr4Gd3Na3(PO4)6F2:0.06Ce3+,0.15Tb3+ phosphor, green and white emitting LED devices have been fabricated. Our investigation indicated the potential application of prepared green phosphors in UV WLEDs and a feasible method to explore highly thermally stable phosphors utilizing the high thermal stability of donors together with energy transfer from donors to acceptors.

This study investigates the critical role of polymer matrices in optimizing luminescence and energy transfer, utilizing the commercial dyes Coumarin 6 (C6) and Rhodamine B (RhB) as a donor-acceptor pair. Solution-phase experiments revealed a dependence of energy transfer efficiency on solvent dielectric constant. Furthermore, embedding the dyes within Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) matrices significantly enhance energy transfer due to increased molecular proximity.

Unlabelled: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) remains a major threat to animal health and causes substantial economic losses worldwide. The nonstructural protein 11 (NSP11) of the causative agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV), contains a highly conserved nidoviral uridylate-specific endoribonuclease (NendoU) domain essential for viral replication and immune evasion. Targeting NSP11 offers a novel approach to antiviral intervention.

Two new nonfused ring nonfullerene electron acceptors, NFAs, (dicarbazolyl)bis(2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile) () and -(2-(5,6-fluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile) (), thus exhibiting an A-D-A motif, were synthesized and characterized. As thin films, they exhibit the lowest energy absorption signature near 540 nm, extending down to ∼700 nm. This band is due to an intramolecular charge transfer process from the (nonfused dicarbazoyl; ) moiety to the malononitrile-based units () based on density functional theory calculations (DFT), which are also corroborated by time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) computations.

Ternary solar cells have been rapidly developed in the realm of organic solar cells (OSCs). The incorporation of a third component into a cell results in a complicated active layer morphology, and the relation of this morphology to power conversion efficiency remains elusive. In this work, two ternary active layers, B1:Y7 (10 wt%):BO-4Cl and B1:Y7 (50 wt%):BO-4Cl are constructed, and the reasons for the differences in PCE caused by varying the Y7 content are investigated using theoretical calculations.

Lanthanide-doped fluoride nanocrystals have emerged as promising tools in biomedicine, yet their applications are still limited by their low luminescence efficiency. Herein, we developed highly efficient lithium-based core-shell-shell (CSS) nanoprobes (NPs) featuring a rhombic active domain and a spherical inert protective shell. By introducing Yb as an energy transfer bridge and optimizing the CSS design, a remarkable 1643-fold enhancement in visible emission and a 33-fold increase in NIR emission are achieved compared to original nanoparticles.
