Cr3+ doped nanocrystals were examined as a noncontact temperature sensor in a lifetime-based approach. The impact of both the analysis protocols and host materials on the lifetime-based approach was systematically investigated. Temperature-dependent luminescence decay curves were analyzed according to three different procedures (average lifetime approach, double exponential fit and time-gated ratiometric approach). The advantages and drawbacks of each method are discussed. Additionally, the thermal sensitivities derived from the average lifetime approach and the double exponential fit revealed a strong dependence of the thermal sensitivity of the Cr3+ doped nanocrystals on the crystal field strength. In these cases, it was found that the long metal-oxygen distances in the host materials improve the thermal sensitivity of the system. This work reveals the importance of both host materials and analysis procedures in the lifetime thermal sensitivity of Cr3+ doped nanocrystals and opens up an avenue towards their future optimization.

LiMnO, a significant cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, has garnered considerable attention due to its low cost and environmental friendliness. However, its widespread application is constrained by its rapid capacity degradation and short cycle life at elevated temperatures. To enhance the electrochemical performance of LiMnO, we employed a liquid-phase co-precipitation and calcination method to incorporate Cr into the LiMnO cathode material, successfully synthesizing a series of LiCrMnO (x = 0~0.

Driven by the miniaturization of microelectronic devices and their multifunctionalities, the development of new quadruple-perovskite oxides with high dielectric constants and high Curie temperature are highly required. Herein, we report on the structural, dielectric and magnetic properties of Sb/Cr-doped CaCuTiO(CCTO) quadruple perovskite oxides, CaCuTiSbO(CCTSO) and CaCuTiCrO(CCTCO). Structural Rietveld refinements demonstrated that the CCTO, CCTSO, and CCTCO ceramics adopted a cubic crystal structure (3¯ space group).

With the wide application of phosphor conversion light-emitting diode (pc-LED) in nondestructive testing, spectral illumination, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, agricultural medical care, and other fields, the ultrabroadband visible-NIR tunable emission phosphor is considered as the most promising fluorescent material. In this paper, Ce/Cr single-doped and codoped CaYMgGeO phosphors were successfully prepared by using the high-temperature solid-state method. Ce and Cr codoped phosphors show ultrabroadband visible-NIR emission from 480 to 900 nm with two emission peaks at visible 556 nm and infrared 758 nm.

Soot generated from the partial combustion of diesel significantly contributes to air pollution, and catalytic oxidation is currently an effective method for removing diesel soot particles. The chromium-doped ceria-praseodymium (Cr-CP) catalyst system is synthesized via solution combustion synthesis and evaluated for soot oxidation activity, with a subsequent kinetics study conducted. The XRD analysis of the catalysts indicated a decrease in crystallite size and increased lattice strain and reactive facet ratios for all Cr-doped CP samples.
