Bi/Eu doped CsGdGeO luminescent materials were prepared by a solid-state reaction. The energy band and density of states of CsGdGeO were calculated by density functional theory. The CsGdGeO host presents a broadband emission peaking at 520 nm. Systemic measurement and analysis of luminescence properties were performed to confirm the energy transfer in CsGdGeO:Bi,Eu. The multicolor modulated emission from blue (0.1678, 0.1568) to red (0.5931, 0.3251) can be achieved by varying the doping ratio of bismuth to europium. A white light-emitting diode (WLED) was produced by combining the CsGdGeO:0.05Bi,0.1Eu phosphor, a commercial green phosphor, and a 310 nm ultraviolet chip. The color rendering index of the WLED driven by 20 mA bias current is 89.6 with the CIE coordinates of (0.3520, 0.3626). The results reveal that the CsGdGeO:Bi,Eu phosphor is a potential material that can be used in multicolor tunable luminescence and WLEDs.

This research utilizes density functional theory to investigate the ground and excited-state properties of a new series of organic dyes with D-π-A configurations (D1-D6) for their potential application in dye-sensitized solar cells. The study focuses on modifying these dyes using various functional groups as π-bridges to optimize their electronic properties and improve their efficiency as sensitizers in DSSCs. The frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) were analysed to evaluate electron transfer properties.

Desalination of seawater by forward osmosis is a technology potentially able to address the global water scarcity problem. The major challenge limiting its widespread practical application is the design of a draw solute that can be separated from water by an energetically efficient process and then reused for the next cycle. Recent experiments demonstrate that a promising draw solute for forward-osmosis desalination is tetrabutylphosphonium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate ([P][TMBS]).

Radical covalent organic frameworks (RCOFs) have demonstrated significant potential in redox catalysis and energy conversion applications. However, the synthesis of stable RCOFs with well-defined neutral carbon radical centers is challenging due to the inherent radical instability, limited synthetic methods and characterization difficulties. Building upon the understanding of stable carbon radicals and structural modulations for preparing crystalline COFs, herein we report the synthesis of a crystalline carbon-centered RCOF through a facile post-oxidation process.

Improving catalytic performance by controlling the microstructure of materials has become a hot topic in the field of photocatalysis, such as the surface defect site, multistage layered morphology, and exposed crystal surface. Due to the differences in the metal atomic radius (Mn and Cd) and solubility product constant (MnS and CdS), Mn defect easily occurred in the S/MnCdS (S/0.4MCS) composite.

Altered DNA dynamics at lesion sites are implicated in how DNA repair proteins sense damage within genomic DNA. Using laser temperature-jump (T-jump) spectroscopy combined with cytosine-analog Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) probes that sense local DNA conformations, we measured the intrinsic dynamics of DNA containing 3 base-pair mismatches recognized in vitro by Rad4 (yeast ortholog of XPC). Rad4/XPC recognizes diverse lesions from environmental mutagens and initiates nucleotide excision repair.
