Novel green-red color-tunable Ca(Mg,Mn)Tb(PO):Eu phosphors have been synthesized the traditional solid-state method. Since Tb/Mn ions are the parent ions in the lattice, the structural confinement occurs when the sensitizer Eu is introduced into the Ca(Mg,Mn)Tb(PO):Eu structure. The distance from Eu to Tb/Mn is confined in the 5 Å range, which induces a highly efficient energy transfer process. At Eu 350 nm excitation, CaMgTb(PO):Eu shows dominant Tb green emission with almost-vanished Eu emission. Red emission is clearly observed as Mn ions doping into CaMgTb(PO):Eu, and color-tuning from green to red is realized by varying the Mn contents. Eu-Tb-Mn cascade energy transfer process is in effect due to short Eu-Tb/Mn and Tb-Mn distances, which is verified by PL and decay variations. Meanwhile, the Ca(Mg,Mn)Tb(PO):Eu phosphor indicates good thermal stability and maintained the 45% emission level at 150 °C, which demonstrates their potential applications in white light LEDs.

The photocatalytic conversion of CO into products such as CH and CH poses a significant challenge due to the lengthy reaction steps and the high energy barrier involved. In this study, both benzothiadiazole (BTD) and hydroxyl groups (-OH) are introduced into cobalt-based polymerized porphyrinic network (PPN) through a C-C coupling reaction. This modification of orbital energy levels that strengthens the ability of gain electrons and facilitates the charge transfer in PPN.

Freestanding networked nanoparticle (NP) films hold substantial potential due to their high surface areas and customizable porosities. However, NPs with high surface energies and heterogeneous sizes or shapes present considerable challenges as they tend to aggregate, compromising their structural integrities. In this study, we report the scalable fabrication of ultrathin, bicontinuous, and densely packed carbon NP films via Pickering emulsion-mediated interfacial assembly.

Semiconductor photocatalysts embedded with rare earth upconversion nanoparticles (REUPs) are a promising strategy to improve their photoresponse range, but their photocatalytic performance within the near-infrared (NIR) region is far from satisfactory. Here, a method is reported to improve the photocatalytic activity by adjusting the nanocavity of upconversion nanoparticles inside a semiconductor. Two types of CdS embedded with NaYF:Yb,Er photocatalysts with core-shell structure (no cavity) (NYE/CdS) and yolk-shell structure (empty cavity) (NYE@CdS) are synthesized by different methods.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) in alkaline electrolyte presents a sustainable pathway for energy storage and green ammonia (NH3) synthesis. However, it remains challenging to obtain high activity and selectivity due to the limited protonation and/or desorption processes of key intermediates. Herein, we propose a strategy to regulate the acid hardness nature of Cu catalyst by introducing appropriate modifier.

Expanding the spectral response of photocatalysts to facilitate overall water splitting (OWS) represents an effective approach for improving solar spectrum utilization efficiency. However, the majority of single-phase photocatalysts designed for OWS primarily respond to the ultraviolet region, which accounts for a small proportion of sunlight. Herein, we present a versatile strategy to achieve broad visible-light-responsive OWS photocatalysis dominated by direct ligand-to-cluster charge transfer (LCCT) within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
