GOSs-稀土配合物紫外增强材料的光谱分析与稳定性研究

氧化石墨烯薄片(GOSs)作为一种新型的二维片状材料,具有较高的比表面积、丰富的表面含氧官能团以及良好的光热稳定性。而稀土配合物通过无机稀土元素与有机配体的结合表现出优异的荧光特性。为了将两类材料具有的物化特性结合起来应用于紫外光谱探测领域。选取了合适的有机配体啉菲罗啉(1,10-邻二氮杂菲,phen)、2’2-联嘧啶(bpm)作为桥联分子,把氧化石墨烯(GOSs)与稀土配合物通过氢键自组装作用进行复合,制备了高效稳定可调的GOSs-稀土配合物复合荧光材料GOSs-Eu(BA)3phen和GOSs-Eu(TTA)3bpm,并且制备了相应的聚乙烯醇(PVA)共混紫外增强薄膜,对其光谱特性与稳定性进行了深入的研究。采用红外光谱、扫描电镜和金相显微镜等方法,对紫外增强材料进行了性能表征。采用吸收光谱,荧光光谱等方法,对紫外增强薄膜进行了性能表征。此外,通过热重测试(TGA)表征了GOSs氢键复合前后紫外增强材料的热稳定性,通过荧光强度-紫外光照次数表征了GOSs氢键复合前后紫外增强薄膜的光稳定性。红外光谱分析发现,进行配位前后有机配体的特征峰产生了频移,表明稀土配合物中Eu 3+与配体之间存在着明显的配位作用。在进行复合之后,桥联配体的特征峰也产生了偏移,表明GOSs与稀土配合物通过桥联分子的氢键作用进行了进行复合。吸收光谱与荧光光谱测定结果表明增强薄膜吸收峰在200~400 nm,荧光主峰在612 nm左右,为Eu 3+特征红色荧光峰,且不同配体可以实现不同范围的吸收产生差异化的荧光表现。扫描电镜和金相显微镜清晰地展示了稀土配合物复合前后的微观形貌,即颗粒状稀土配合物附着在石墨烯薄片上。光稳定性测试表明经过GOSs氢键复合之后,Eu(BA)3phen和Eu(TTA)3bpm稀土配合物荧光材料在进行25次荧光强度测试后光漂白程度分别下降了4.26%和6.41%,提高了其光稳定性。热重测试也表明在经过GOSs氢键复合之后,稀土配合物的热稳定性有了很大提高。总之,得益于GOSs和稀土配合物的特性结合,所制备的紫外增强材料表现出优异的荧光特性与稳定性,必将在紫外探测方面有着广阔的应用前景。     

Investigation of the interaction between protein and europium doped polymer

The interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and polymer (poly (METAC-co-NIPAm-co-Eu(AA)3Phen), PMNEu) containing rare earth element (Europium) were detailedly investigated by both of experimental techniques, such as fluorescence spectroscopic analysis, zeta-potential characterization, hydrodynamic size measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation, and theoretical calculations. As a result, we concluded that PMNEu could interact with BSA through electrostatic force and quench the fluorescence of BSA, which was regarded as the static quenching mechanism. In addition, the binding constant and binding sites number of BSA with PMNEu were calculated, and the distance between PMNEu and BSA was also estimated to be 1.9?nm based on Föster’s theory. Furthermore, the two fluorescence peaks of PMNEu at 594?nm and 618?nm were detected, and the density of them increased with the more BSA being added to couple with PMNEu. Additionally, The zeta-potential results confirmed the electrostatic interaction mode between BSA and PMNEu, which was concluded with the previous thermodynamic analysis. At last, the results from the hydrodynamic size measurement had a good agreement with those from the TEM observation about the structure and size variation during the complexation of PMNEu with different concentrations of BSA.     

Determination of lanthanum and cerium in cmsx-4 nickel-based superalloys by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometryEI北大核心CSCD

CMSX-4 is the second-generation nickel-based single crystal superalloy used widely in the world. The oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of CMSX-4 alloy can be improved by adding trace lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce) and other rare earth elements. A method for the simultaneous determination of La and Ce in CMSX-4 nickel-based superalloy by wet dissolution-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was established. The sample was heated and dissolved under normal pressure by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid, and the interference of fluorine ion was eliminated by using perchloric acid. The amount of dissolved acid and the digestion conditions were optimized. The limits of detection were 0.23 μg/g for La and 0.85 μg/g for Ce under optimized conditions. The spiked recoveries were 95.0%–98.9% with the relative standard deviations of 1.3%–3.9%, which can meet the requirements of accurate and rapid determination of La and Ce in CMSX-4 nickel-based superalloy. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd.

Perfectly Encoding π-Conjugated Anions in the RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE=Y,Yb, Lu) Family with Strong Second Harmonic Generation Response and Balanced Birefringence

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, which simultaneously exhibits strong second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and desired optical anisotropy, is a core optical material accessible to the modern optoelectronics. Accompanied by strong SHG effect in a NLO crystal, a contradictory problem of overlarge birefringence is ignored, leading to low frequency doubling efficiency and poor beam quality. Herein, a series of rare earth cyanurates RE₅(C₃N₃O₃)(OH)₁₂ (RE=Y, Yb, Lu) were successfully characterized by 3D electron diffraction technique. Based on a “three birds with one stone” strategy, they enable the simultaneous fulfillment of strong SHG responses (2.5–4.2× KH₂PO₄), short UV cutoff (ca. 220 nm) and applicable birefringence (ca. 0.15 at 800 nm) by the introduction of rare earth coordination control of π-conjugated (C₃N₃O₃)³⁻ anions. These findings provide high-performance short-wavelength NLO materials and highlight the exploration of cyanurates as a new research area.     

Dielectrophoretic ultra-high-frequency characterization and in silico sorting on uptake of rare earth elements by Cupriavidus necator

Rare earth elements (REEs) are widely used across different industries due to their exceptional magnetic and electrical properties. In this work, Cupriavidus necator is characterized using dielectrophoretic ultra-high-frequency measurements, typically in MHz range to quantify the properties of cytoplasm in C. necator for its metal uptake/bioaccumulation capacity. Cupriavidus necator, a Gram-negative bacteria strain is exposed to REEs like europium, samarium, and neodymium in this study. Dielectrophoretic crossover frequency experiments were performed on the native C. necator species pre- and post-exposure to the REEs at MHz frequency range. The net conductivity of native C. necator, Cupriavidus europium, Cupriavidus samarium, and Cupriavidus neodymium are 15.95 ± 0.029 μS/cm, 16.15 ± 0.028 μS/cm, 16.05 ± 0.029 μS/cm, 15.61 ± 0.005 μS/cm respectively. The estimated properties of the membrane published by our group are used to develop a microfluidic sorter by modeling and simulation to separate REE absorbed C. necator from the unabsorbed native C. necator species using COMSOL Multiphysics commercial software package v5.5.

新型Sr_3Y(PO_4)_3∶Ce~(3+),Tb~(3+)绿光荧光粉的制备与发光机理的研究

采用传统的高温固相法合成了一种新型的绿色荧光粉Sr3Y(PO4)3∶Ce3+,Tb3+,利用X射线衍射(XRD)和荧光光谱(PL)对该材料的晶体结构和光学性能进行表征。结果分析表明,制得样品的XRD图谱不含Sr3Y(PO4)3以外的杂峰,稀土掺杂并未改变基质的晶体结构,得到的样品为纯相的磷酸钇锶。从本文实验中明显观察到Sr3Y(PO4)3∶Tb3+的激发光谱和Ce3+的发射光谱在320~390nm有重叠,表明在Sr3Y(PO4)3基质中可存在从Ce3+到Tb3+的能量传递。在紫外光(315nm)激发下该荧光粉发射出了Ce3+的蓝光(320~420nm)和Tb3+的黄绿光(480~500nm)和(530~560nm),当Ce3+的浓度为7%,Tb3+的浓度由1%增大到50%时,通过Ce3+的4f→5d电子跃迁将能量传递到Tb3+,然后发生5 D4→7 Fj电子跃迁,该荧光粉发射光谱可由蓝光逐渐调节为黄绿光。本文绘制了Ce3+,Tb3+的能级和Sr3Y(PO4)3∶Ce3+,Tb3+荧光粉中的能量转移过程示意图,并详细阐述了由Ce3+到Tb3+的能量传递过程。通过对比Ce3+和Tb3+的发光强度以及由Ce3+到Tb3+能量转移效率的相对变化,可以得出,随着掺入的Tb3+浓度不断增加,Tb3+的发射强度(5 D4→7 Fj)和能量转移效率(Ce3+到Tb3+)也在增大,而Ce3+的发射强度却有了明显的下降。当Tb3+的浓度为50%时能量转移效率可高达80%。通过CIE色度图也可以看出,当Tb3+浓度不断增大,样品的色坐标从图中的蓝色区域移动到绿色区域。所以在紫外光激发下,Ce3+和Tb3+共掺Sr3Y(PO4)3可作为一种绿光荧光粉应用在白光LED或LCD背光源上。     

A study on the spectral,microstructural, and magnetic properties of Eu–Nd double-substituted Ba0.5Sr0.5Fe12O19 hexaferrites synthesized by an ultrasonic-assisted approach

In this study, an examination on the spectral, microstructural, and magnetic characteristics of Eu–Nd double-substituted Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Fe₁₂O₁₉ hexaferrites (Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Nd_xEu_xFe_12−2xO₁₉ (x = 0.00–0.05) HFs) fabricated by an ultrasonic-assisted approach has been presented. An UZ SONOPULS HD 2070 ultrasonic homogenizer with frequency of 20 kHz and power of 70 W was used. The chemical bonding, structure and the morphology of the products were evaluated by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, XRD (X-ray diffraction), scanning and transmission electron microscopy and techniques. The textural properties of the prepared nanomaterials were examined by using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The magnetic properties were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature (RT) and low temperature 10 K. The magnitudes of various magnetic parameters including M_s (saturation magnetization), M_r (remanence) and H_c (coercivity) were estimated and evaluated. The M-H loops revealed the hard ferrimagnetic nature for all products at both temperatures. The M_s and M_r values showed a decreasing tendency with increasing degree of Eu³⁺ and Nd³⁺ substitutions whereas H_c values displayed an increasing trend. At RT, M_s, M_r and H_c values lie in the ranges of 63.0–68.8 emu·g⁻¹, 24.6–39.2 emu·g⁻¹ and 2252.4–2782.1 Oe, respectively. At 10 K, the values of M_s, M_r and H_c lie between 87.5–97.1 emu·g⁻¹, 33.5–40.1 emu·g⁻¹ and 2060.6–2417.2 Oe, respectively. The observed magnetic properties make the prepared products promising candidates to be applied in the recording media.     

A comparative first-principles study on electronic structures and mechanical properties of ternary intermetallic compounds Al8Cr4Y and Al8Cu4Y: Pressure and tension effects

An investigation into the bulk properties, elastic properties and Debye temperature under pressure, and deformation mode under tension of Al₈Cu₄Y and Al₈Cr₄Y compounds was investigated by using first principles calculations based on density functional theory. The calculated lattice constants for the ternary compounds (Al₈Cu₄Y and Al₈Cr₄Y) are in good agreement with the experimental data. It can be seen from interatomic distances that the bonding between Al1 atom and Cr, Y, and Al2 atoms in Al₈Cr₄Y are stronger than Al₈Cu₄Y. The results of cohesive energy show that Al₈Cr₄Y should be easier to be formed and much stronger chemical bonds than Al₈Cu₄Y. The bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E and Poisson's ratio ν can be obtained by using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill averaging scheme. From the results of elastic properties, Al₈Cr₄Y has the stronger mechanical behavior than Al₈Cu₄Y. Our calculations also show that pressure has a greater effect on mechanical behavior for both compounds. The ideal tensile strength are obtained by stress-strain relationships under [001](001) uniaxial tensile deformation, which are 15.4 and 23.4 GPa for Al₈Cu₄Y and Al₈Cr₄Y, respectively. The total and partial density of states and electron charge density under uniaxial tensile deformations for Al₈Cu₄Y and Al₈Cr₄Y compounds are also calculated and discussed in this work.
