[PMID: 38346631 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Necessity of having simple selective and robust methods for the analysis of environmentally relevant chemicals stimulates the development of new approaches to material preparation. Electrochemical sensing using electroactive substrates has proved efficient in the analysis of a wide range of pesticides and is widely used as a routine analytical method. Recently, mixed oxides showed promising electrocatalytic activity toward hazardous substrates. Prevalence of wet chemical methods in the synthesis of mixed oxides creates a methodological obstacle and inconvenience for their wide utilization. In this work we challenged the common preparation of mixed oxides with simple powder mixing and developed an electrode for bentazone detection with satisfactory detection limit (0.4 μM), recovery rate (≈104%), and a broad linearity range (1-45 μM). The proposed modified carbon paste electrode is highly selective and can be used for determination of bentazone in presence of interfering ions in water samples.

Mechanistic Insight into the Defect-Engineered White Light Emission from the Single-Phase Orthovanadate Phosphor Synthesized by a Facile Rapid Microwave-Assisted Synthesis.

Abstract
The synthesis of single-phase barium orthovanadate phosphors by a one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach has been reported, wherein the homogeneous thermal zone generated at the molecular level by microwave radiation gives rise to tunable distortion in the tetrahedral VO4-3 and oxygen vacancies, eventually enabling intrinsic white light emission with CIE of 0.31,0.38, high photoluminescence internal quantum efficiency of 35%, and external quantum efficiency of 28% whereas phosphor synthesized by the hydrothermal route exhibits only bluish-green emission (PLQE: 0.5%). The Rietveld refinement confirms the formation of a single trigonal phase having dissimilar V-O bond lengths and bond angles, implying the formation of a distorted phosphor under optimized conditions, and corroborates with Raman and Fourier transform infrared analyses. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis reveal that the origin of white light emission is due to short- and long-range defects, in particular the oxygen vacancies, which eventually form an intermediate energy level in the forbidden region between the valence and conduction bands. Lifetime spectra show triexponential fitting, corresponding to two charge transfer blue and green emission bands (3T2, 3T1 to 1A1) and one oxygen vacancy-related red emission at RT. Furthermore, these phosphors are thermally stable, as no change in the structure or emission characteristics are observed. A prototype fabricated using a 365 nm chip exhibits white-light-emission CIE of 0.353,0.392, correlated color temperature of 4867 K, color rendering index of 85, and high luminous efficacy of 102 lm/W at 140 mA operating current, portentous for practical applications.

Abstract
This contribution reports on the optical properties of biosynthesised Eu2O3 nanoparticles bioengineered for the first time by a green and cost effective method using aqueous fruit extracts of Hyphaene thebaica as an effective chelating and capping agent. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of the samples annealed at 500°C were confirmed by using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), UV-Vis spectrocopy, and photoluminescence spectrometer. The XRD results confirmed the characteristic body-centered cubic (bcc) structure of Eu2O3 nanoparticles with an average size of 20 nm. HR-TEM revealed square type morphology with an average size of ∼6nm. Electron dispersion energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy spectrum confirmed the elemental single phase nature of pure Eu2O3. Furthuremore, the Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy revealed the intrinsic characteristic peaks of Eu-O bond stretching vibrations. UV-Vis reflectance proved that Eu2O3 absorbs in a wide range of the solar spectrum from the VUV-UV region with a bandgap of 5.1 eV. The luminescence properties of such cubic structures were characterized by an intense red emission centered at 614 nm. It was observed that the biosynthesized Eu2O3 nanoparticles exhibit an efficient red-luminescence and hence a potential material as red phosphor.

Abstract
Inkjet printing has become a promising, efficient, inexpensive, scalable technique for materials deposition, mask-less and digital patterning in many device applications. Meanwhile, the ink preparation remains a challenge especially for printing functional oxide materials. Based on the principles of inkjet printing (especially relevant for piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printer) and the process of the conversion of liquid ink into solid thin films of oxide materials, we present two approaches to the design and tailoring of inks: (i) oxide particle suspensions (e.g. SiO2, TiO2, Fe3O4) and (ii) metal-acetates precursor solutions for directly printing oxide thin films (e.g. ZnO, MgO, ITO and so forth). The solution inks are stable and produce tunable oxide films with high density and smooth surface. For some of the inks containing multi-type acetates with possible phase separation even before calcinations, we have developed a chelating procedure in order to tailor the films into single-phase homogeneity. The work lays a foundation for inkjet printing of oxides films for functional applications in electronic, photonic and energy devices.

Abstract
Programming the reaction chemistry for superseding the formation of Sm2O3 in a competitive process of formation and dissolution, the crystal growth patterns are varied and two different nanostructures of Sm2O3 in 2D confinement regime are designed. Among these, the regular and self-assembled square platelets nanostructures exhibit paramagnetic behavior analogous to the bulk Sm2O3. But, the other one, 2D flower like shaped nanostructure, formed by irregular crystal growth, shows superparamagnetism at room temperature which is unusual for bulk paramagnet. It has been noted that the variation in the crystal growth pattern is due to the difference in the binding ability of two organic ligands, oleylamine and oleic acid, used for the synthesis and the magnetic behavior of the nanostructures is related to the defects incorporated during the crystal growth. Herein, we inspect the formation chemistry and plausible origin of contrasting magnetism of these nanostructures of Sm2O3.

Abstract
Unlike to the most previous reports, mixed-cation Cu(+)/Cu(2+) doping-induced novel nanoscale phenomena, including photoluminescence quenching and a correlating ferrimagnetism with Néel temperature ≈ 14 K, were found in the as-calcined (Cu2(+)/Cu1(2+))0.044Zn0.956O electrospun nanobelts (NBs). There is also high strain (up to 1.98%) and shrunk lattice distortion (ΔV/V0 ∼ 0.127%) in the (Cu2(+)/Cu1(2+))0.044Zn0.956O NBs, leading to broken lattice symmetry in conjunction with nonstoichiometry (i.e., oxygen vacancies or accurate F centers), which could be possible origins of ferrimagnetism in the Cu-doped ZnO NBs. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra reveal that there are giant and anisotropic g factors, suggesting that there is strong anisotropic spin-orbit interaction between the Cu(2+) ion and F center (i.e., forming Cu(2+)-F(+) complexes) in the (Cu2(+)/Cu1(2+))0.044Zn0.956O NBs. The above correlation enables the potential application of tuning of the optical and ferrimagnetic properties through strain and F-center engineering.
