Enhanced luminescence and energy transfer performance of double perovskite structure Gd2MgTiO6:Bi3+, Mn4+ phosphor for indoor plant growth LED lighting

Deep-red light emitting phosphors are widely used in LEDs for indoor plant growth because of the critical role played by red light in plant growth. The luminescence properties of deep-red phosphors are still not well understood at present. An energy transfer strategy is a common and effective method to improve luminescence properties. In principle, the energy transfer process may occur when the sensitizer's emission spectra overlap with the activator's excitation spectra. In this work, Bi³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ were incorporated into the matrix of Gd₂MgTiO₆ as sensitisers and activators, respectively. Mn⁴⁺ ions tend to occupy the [TiO₆] octahedral site and the Bi³⁺ ions are expected to substituted in the site of Gd³⁺. The energy transfer process from Bi³⁺ to Mn⁴⁺ was realised and the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Mn⁴⁺ increased with the doping content of Bi³⁺. Upon excitation at 375 nm, the PL intensity of Mn⁴⁺ increased to 116.4% when the doping concentration of Bi³⁺ reached 0.3%. Finally, the pc-LED devices were prepared by a Gd₂MgTiO₆:Bi³⁺, Mn⁴⁺ phosphor. The high red luminescence indicated that this phosphor has potential applications in indoor LED lighting.

Exploring the Cold-Adaptation Mechanism of Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase by Comparative Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Cold-adapted enzymes feature a lower thermostability and higher catalytic activity compared to their warm-active homologues, which are considered as a consequence of increased flexibility of their molecular structures. The complexity of the (thermo)stability-flexibility-activity relationship makes it difficult to define the strategies and formulate a general theory for enzyme cold adaptation. Here, the psychrophilic serine hydroxymethyltransferase (pSHMT) from Psychromonas ingrahamii and its mesophilic counterpart, mSHMT from Escherichia coli, were subjected to μs-scale multiple-replica molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the cold-adaptation mechanism of the dimeric SHMT. The comparative analyses of MD trajectories reveal that pSHMT exhibits larger structural fluctuations and inter-monomer positional movements, a higher global flexibility, and considerably enhanced local flexibility involving the surface loops and active sites. The largest-amplitude motion mode of pSHMT describes the trends of inter-monomer dissociation and enlargement of the active-site cavity, whereas that of mSHMT characterizes the opposite trends. Based on the comparison of the calculated structural parameters and constructed free energy landscapes (FELs) between the two enzymes, we discuss in-depth the physicochemical principles underlying the stability-flexibility-activity relationships and conclude that (i) pSHMT adopts the global-flexibility mechanism to adapt to the cold environment and, (ii) optimizing the protein-solvent interactions and loosening the inter-monomer association are the main strategies for pSHMT to enhance its flexibility.     

Design,simulation, elaboration and luminescence of Tb3+-doped Ba0.84Gd0.16F2.16 fluoroaluminosilicate scintillating glass ceramics

Extensive researches on scintillators have been executed to satisfy the excellent radiation detection materials in broad applications. However, practical application of conventional scintillators is limited due to the limitations of high cost, time-consuming fabrication process and insufficient radioluminescence. Herein, high density precursor glass doped with Tb³⁺ was designed to absorb X-ray efficiently and produce green emission. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to simulate the phase separation process in melting process. Then, Tb³⁺-doped Ba_0.84Gd_0.16F_2.16 glass ceramics (GCs) with excellent structural and optical properties were elaborated by melt quenching technic and further heat treating. Their structural properties, photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) were explored detailedly. The internal quantum efficiency of PL is 64 % in GCs. The XEL intensity is 192 % of that of Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO) commercial scintillator. Our results suggest that Ba_0.84Gd_0.16F_2.16:Tb³⁺ GCs might have potential application in X-ray detection.     

A review study on titanium niobium oxide-based composite anodes for Li-ion batteries: Synthesis,structure, and performance

The growing demands for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in the electrification revolution, require the development of advanced electrode materials. Recently, intercalating titanium niobium oxide (TNO) anode materials with the general formula of TiNb_xO_2+2.5x have received lots of attention as an alternative to graphite and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ commercial anodes. The desirability of this family of compounds stems from their high theoretical capacities (377–402 mAh/g), high safety, high working voltage, excellent cycling stability, and significant pseudocapacitive behavior. However, the rate performance of TNO-based anodes is poor owing to their low electronic and ionic conductivities. TNO-based composites generally are prepared with two aims of enhancing the conductivity of TNO and achieving a synergic effect between the TNO and the other component of the composite. Compositing with carbon matrices, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the most studied strategy for improving the conductivity of TNO and optimizing its high-rate performance. Also, for obtaining anode materials with high capacity and high long-term stability, the composites of TNO with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials were proposed in previous literature. In this work, a comprehensive review of the TNO-based composites as the anodes for LIBs is presented which summarizes in detail the main recent literature from their synthesis procedure, optimum synthesis parameters, and the obtained morphology/structure to their electrochemical performance as the LIBs anode. Finally, the research gaps and the future perspective are proposed.
