A trimeric tri-Tb3+-including antimonotungstate (AMT) hybrid Na17{(WO4)[Tb(H2O)(Ac)(B-α-SbW9O31(OH)2)]3}·50H2O (Tb3W28) was successfully synthesized, in which the capped tetrahedral {WO4} group plays a significant template role in directing the aggregation of three [B-α-SbW9O33]9- fragments and three Tb3+ ions. Eu3+/Tb3+/Dy3+/Gd3+-codoped AMT materials based on Tb3W28 were firstly prepared and their luminescence properties were investigated. The red emitter Eu3+, yellow emitter Dy3+, and nonluminous Gd3+ ions were codoped into Tb3W28 to substitute Tb3+ ions for investigating the energy transfer (ET) mechanism among Eu3+, Tb3+, and Dy3+ ions. Upon the 6H15/2 → 4I13/2 excitation at 389 nm of the Dy3+ ion, the ET1 mechanism (Dy3+ → Tb3+) was confirmed as a non-radiative dipole-dipole interaction. Under the 7F6 → 5L10 excitation at 370 nm of the Tb3+ ion, the ET2 mechanism (Tb3+ → Eu3+) was identified as a non-radiative quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. Under excitation at 389 nm, the two-step successive Dy3+ → Tb3+ → Eu3+ ET3 process was proved in Dy1.2Tb3zEu0.03Gd1.77-3zW28. Through changing the excitation wavelengths, the emission color of Dy1.2Tb1.2Eu0.03Gd0.57W28 can vary from blue to yellow, in which a near-white-light emission case was observed upon excitation at 378 nm. This work not only provides a systematic ET mechanism study of hetero-Ln-codoped AMTs, but also offers some useful guidance for designing novel performance-oriented Ln-codoped polyoxometalate-based materials.

In this study, we investigate structural disorder and its implications in metal cluster (MC)-based compounds, specifically focusing on Cs[{MoX}X] (X = Cl and Br). Utilizing synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and luminescence measurements, we examined the incorporation of water molecules into these compounds and their effects on the crystal structure and optical properties. Our findings reveal that the presence of water molecules induces the lattice disorder, particularly the displacement of Cs atoms.

Lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have become a research hotspot in the field of photoelectrons due to their unique optical properties and flexible compositional tuning. However, the luminescence of DPs exhibits thermal quenching at high temperatures, which severely affects their further application. Herein, we synthesized the rare earth Dy and transition metal Mn codoped CsNaYCl rare earth DPs and characterized the optical properties using temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence decay profiles at different temperatures.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of CsNaBiCl nanocrystals (NCs) doped with varying concentrations of In to improve their luminescent properties. Utilizing a colloidal solution method, we systematically varied the In concentration to identify the optimal alloying level for enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the CsNaBiCl NCs. Structural analysis confirmed that the In-alloyed NCs maintained high crystallinity and a uniform cubic shape.

New tetrakis Eu and Gd β-diketonate complexes containing benzimidazolium (Bzim) as the counterion were synthesized by the one-pot method. The Bzim[Eu(tta)]·HO complex was further incorporated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix (PMMA) at 1, 5, and 10% (w/w), which revealed highly desirable photonic features. The Eu and Gd complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, in addition to ESI-MS spectrometry, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy.

In this work, non-layered two-dimensional α-MnSe nanosheets were transferred onto LaMnO (LMO) films to obtain a multifunctional heterostructure. The high crystal quality of the MnSe/LMO heterostructure was revealed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy measurements.
