Poor water stability and single luminous color are the major drawbacks of the most phosphors reported. Therefore, it is important to realize multicolor luminescence in a phosphor with single host and single activator as well as moisture resistance. LaF :Pr @SiO yolk-shell nanospheres are facilely obtained by a designing new technology of a simple and cost-effective electrospray ionization combined with a dicrucible fluorating technique without using protective gas. In addition, tunable photoluminescence, especially white-light emission, is successfully obtained in LaF :Pr @SiO yolk-shell nanospheres by adjusting Pr ion concentrations, and the luminescence mechanism of Pr ion is advanced. Compared with the counterpart LaF :Pr nanospheres, the water stability of LaF :Pr @SiO yolk-shell nanospheres is improved by 15% after immersion in water for 72 h, and the fluorescence intensity can be maintained at 86% of the initial intensity. Furthermore, by treating the yolk-shell nanospheres with hydrofluoric acid, it is not only demonstrated that the shell-layer is SiO but also core-LaF :Pr nanospheres are obtained. Particularly, only fluorination procedure among the halogenation can produce such special yolk-shell nanospheres, the formation mechanism of yolk-shell nanospheres is proposed detailedly based on the sound experiments and a corresponding new technology is built. These findings broaden practical applications of LaF :Pr @SiO yolk-shell nanospheres.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a novel catalyst made of ultrasmall palladium-iridium (PdIr) nanoparticles supported on special silica structures to enhance formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation, which is crucial for using FA as a hydrogen carrier.
- The optimized PdIr catalyst demonstrated an impressive turnover frequency (TOF) of 5818 h at 50°C, showing complete FA conversion and high hydrogen selectivity, outperforming many existing catalysts.
- The study identifies the cleavage of the carbon-hydrogen (CH) bond as the slowest step in the reaction and highlights the importance of the catalyst's unique structure and the interaction between the metal nanoparticles and the silica support in improving performance.

Iron sulfides have shown great potential as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their high sodium storage capacity and low cost. Nevertheless, iron sulfides generally exhibit unsatisfied electrochemical performance induced by sluggish electron/ion transfer and severe pulverization upon the sodiation/desodiation process. Herein, we constructed a yolk-shell FeS@NC nanosphere with an N-doped carbon shell and FeS particle core via a simple hydrothermal method, followed by in-situ polymerization and vulcanization.

Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) have received a great deal of research attention and have been widely used in a variety of fields. However, conventional TMOs do not possess high specific surface area, sufficient active site on their surfaces, and limited their applications in catalysis. This study presents a two-step method for synthesizing active metal (M) decorated NiCoO (M/NiCoO, M = Pd or Cu) nanospheres with yolk-shell nanostructures.
