Pure TiO2, Eu3+and Sm3+co-doping TiO2composite nanoparticles have been prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by the techniques such as XRD, SEM and DRS. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution was used as a probe reaction to evaluate their photocatalytic activity. The matrix distortion of TiO2nano-particles increases after co-doping of Eu3+and Sm3+and a blue-shift of the absorption profile are clearly observed. The results show that co-doping of Eu3+and Sm3+inhibits the phase transformation of TiO2from anatase to rutile, decreases the diameter of TiO2nano-particles and significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The Eu3+and Sm3+co-doped into TiO2nano-particles exert a synergistic effect on their photocatalytic activity.

Similar to many other Eu2+,RE3+-co-doped persistent luminescence materials, for Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,RE3+ the initial intensity and duration of persistent luminescence was also found to depend critically on the rare-earth (RE) co-doping. An enhancement of 1 - 2 orders of magnitude in these properties could be obtained by Dy3+ co-doping whereas total quenching of persistent luminescence resulted from the use of Sm3+ and Yb3+. To solve this drastic disparity, the effects of the individual RE3+ ions were studied with thermoluminescence (TL) spectroscopy to derive information about the formation of traps storing the excitation energy. The charge compensation defects were concluded to be the origin of the complex TL glow curve structure. The tuning of the band gap of the Sr2MgSi2O7 host and especially the position of the bottom of the conduction band due to the Eu2+,RE3+ co-doping was measured with the synchrotron radiation vacuum UV (VUV) excitation spectra of the Eu2+ dopant. The model based on the evolution of the band gap energy with RE3+ co-doping was found to explain the intensity and duration of the persistent luminescence.

Silicate substituted hydroxyapatite bioceramics have been shown to enhance bone repair in vivo compared to hydroxyapatite (HA), although the amount of silicate ions that can be substituted alone into the hydroxyapatite structure is limited to approximately 5.2 wt%, or 1.6 wt% Si. This study describes the substitution of greater levels of silicate ions via co-substitution of silicate ions with trivalent yttrium ions, without resulting in the formation of any secondary phases. This substitution mechanism involves a coupled substitution of yttrium and silicate ions for calcium and phosphate ions, respectively, and enables a level of silicate substitution up to approximately 9 wt%. Two different substitution mechanisms result in subtle differences in the crystal structure. When the mechanism xY3+ + xSiO4 4- was used, a small decrease in the a-axis, but no change in the c-axis, of the unit cell compared to HA was observed. In contrast, when the mechanism x/2Y3+ + xSiO4 4- was used, a significant increase in the c-axis of the unit cell was observed, compared to HA. XRF analysis and FTIR spectroscopy supported the proposed substitution mechanisms. These novel substitution mechanisms not only enable greater levels of silicate-substitution in HA to be prepared, but also allow the production of compositions with the same level of silicate substitution, and with subtle differences in chemical structure.

The incorporation of aluminum ions into the Sr2SiO4:Eu causes the stabilization of the Eu3+ ions under reductive atmosphere and concentration ratio of europium in both oxidation states ([Eu3+]/[Eu2+]) can be controlled by changing the Al3+ content.

Eu3+or/and Sm3+co-doped glasses based on TeO2-ZnO-ZnCl2-Li2O are prepared using the melt quenching technique and the effects of co-doping on the emission spectra of these glasses are examined. The Sm3+doped glass under 403 nm excitations show emission bands around 561, 598 and 642 nm corresponding to the transitions of4G5/2→6H5/2,4G5/2→6H7/2and4G5/2→6H9/2respectively. Whereas, in Eu3+doped glass under 397 nm excitation emission bands appear around 553, 586, 613, 650 and 699 nm that corresponds to the transitions of5D1→7F2,5D0→7F1,5D0→7F2,5D0→7F3and5D0→7F4. In addition, the emission spectra of the Eu3+/Sm3+co-doped glass under 482 nm excitation consists of five bands in which three are contributed by Sm3+at 561, 598 and 642 nm and two by Eu3+at 613 nm and 699 nm respectively. Surprisingly, the emission bands of Eu3+are still observed in the emission spectra of Sm3+for the Eu3+/Sm3+co-doped glasses despite the absence of the excitation wavelength 482 nm in the absorption and excitation domain of Eu3+. This observation is attributed to the partial resonance transfer of the absorption energy from Sm3+to the Eu3+ions.

Organophosphate-chloride complexes [{(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO}2LnCl(CH3OH)4]·2CH3OH, Ln = Nd (1), Eu (2), Gd (3), and Tb (4) have been obtained and structurally characterized. Their reaction with 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine leads to the formation of 1:1 adducts ([{(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO}2LnCl(terpy)(H2O)2(CH3OH)], Ln = Eu (5), Gd (6), Tb (7) with exception of Nd, where tris-diisopropylphenylphosphate complex [{(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO}3Nd) (terpy)(H2O)(CH3OH)] (8) was obtained due to the ligand metathesis. A bright luminescence observed for the Eu and Tb organophosphate complexes is the first example of an application of organophosphate ligands for 4f-ions luminescence sensitization. Photophysical properties of all complexes were analyzed by optical spectroscopy and an energy transfer scheme was discussed. A combination of two types of ligands into the coordination sphere (phosphate and phenanthroline) allows designing the Eu surrounding with very high intrinsic quantum yield QEuEu (0.92) and highly luminescent Ln complexes for both visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions.

Perovskite-type lithium ionic conductors were explored in the (LixLa1−x/3)ScO3 system following their syntheses via a high-pressure solid-state reaction. Phase identification indicated that a solid solution with a perovskite-type structure was formed in the range 0 ≤ x < 0.6. When x = 0.45, (Li0.45La0.85)ScO3 exhibited the highest ionic conductivity and a low activation energy. Increasing the loading of lithium as an ionic diffusion carrier expanded the unit cell volume and contributed to the higher ionic conductivity and lower activation energy. Cations with higher oxidation numbers were introduced into the A/B sites to improve the ionic conductivity. Ce4+ and Zr4+ or Nb5+ dopants partially substituted the A-site (La/Li) and B-site Sc, respectively. Although B-site doping produced a lower ionic conductivity, A-site Ce4+ doping improved the conductive properties. A perovskite-type single phase was obtained for (Li0.45La0.78Ce0.05)ScO3 upon Ce4+ doping, providing a higher ionic conductivity than (Li0.45La0.85)ScO3. Compositional analysis and crystal-structure refinement of (Li0.45La0.85)ScO3 and (Li0.45La0.78Ce0.05)ScO3 revealed increased lithium contents and expansion of the unit cell upon Ce4+ co-doping. The highest ionic conductivity of 1.1 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 623 K was confirmed for (Li0.4Ce0.15La0.67)ScO3, which is more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the (LixLa1−x/3)ScO3 system.

The Eu2+-doped strontium aluminate SrAl4O7 samples have shown the blue-green persistent luminescence at 490 nm while the co-doping with Dy3+ shifts the maximum of emission to 475 nm. Undoped, 3% Eu-doped and 6% Dy-co-doped SrAl4O7 samples were prepared by the solid state-reaction method and studied by the solid-state 27Al MAS NMR applying the single pulse-acquire and Hahn-echo pulse sequences. It was shown that the Eu2+ with Dy3+ ion doping did not affect the bulk structure as well as the local Al environment in SrAl4O7. This means that large shifts of the emission maximum cannot be caused by changes in the local environment upon the co-doping of SrAl4O7:Eu2+ with Dy3+. However, the spectral features observed in the range between the signals of 4- and 6-coordinated Al (20–40 ppm) indicate that certain phase imperfections are present in all studied samples, and most probably amorphous/glassy domains were formed. Note that such amount of phase impurities was not detected by standard XRD or FTIR methods. This has revealed the 27Al MAS NMR technique to be a very effective tool monitoring the phase perfectness in series of strontium aluminate samples.
