Abstract
Objective Abnormal serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels are closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. This study aimed to establish a fluorescence immunochromatography (FIC) method using the lanthanide fluorescent element europium(III) (Eu3+) for the quantitative measurement of MMP-9 in serum. Design & Methods The FIC method for quantifying MMP-9 was optimized and established, and the FIC test strips (FICTS) were assembled and subsequently evaluated for sensitivity, specificity and precision. Furthermore, the reference interval and clinical sensitivity/specificity were estimated using clinical healthy/positive serum samples, and a commercial ELISA was used for comparison. Results We successfully established an FIC method and prepared FICTS. The analytical sensitivity of the FICTS was 0.92 ng/mL, with a linearity range of 0-1000 ng/mL. The cross-reactivity of the 7 common serum interferents was less than 1.56%. All recoveries of the intra-array and inter-array samples ranged from 102.50% to 110.99%, and all CVs were less than 5%. The reference interval of the FICTS was >161.15 ng/mL. The clinical sensitivity was 96.00%, and the specificity was 97.5%. The results of 270 clinical serum samples were highly coincident with the clinical diagnostic results. Pearson correlation analysis and Bland‒Altman plots indicated that the FICTS and commercial ELISA results were consistent with the quantitative MMP-9 concentration. Conclusions The designed FIC method and test strips may be suitable for point-of-care quantitative measurement of MMP-9, which provides a new method for screening for atherosclerosis, xerophthalmia, etc.

Abstract
Bacillus anthracis has gained international attention as a deadly bacterium and a potentially deadly biological warfare agent. Dipicolinic acid (DPA) is the main component of the protective layer of anthracis spores, and is also an anthrax biomarker. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore an efficient and sensitive DPA detection method. Herein, a novel ratio hybrid probe (CQDs-PIL-Eu3+) was prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method using carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as an internal reference fluorescence and a covalent bond between CQDs and Eu3+ by using a polyionic liquid (PIL) as a bridge molecule. The ratiometric fluorescence probe was found to have the characteristics of sensitive fluorescence visual sensing in detecting DPA. The structure and the sensing properties of CQDs-PIL-Eu3+ were investigated in detail. In particular, the fluorescence intensity ratio of Eu3+ to CQDs (I616/I440) was linear with the concentration of DPA in the range of 0-50 μM, so the detection limit of the probe was as low as 32 nm, which was far lower than the DPA dose released by the number of anthrax spores in human body (60 μM) and, thus, can achieve sensitive detection. Therefore, the ratiometric fluorescence probe in this work has the characteristics of strong anti-interference, visual sensing, and high sensitivity, which provides a very promising scheme for the realization of anthrax biomarker DPA detection.

Abstract
In comparison with single crystal scintillators, glass scintillators are more promising materials for their benefits of easy preparation, low cost, controllable size, and large-scale manufacture. The emission of Eu3+ ion at 612 nm matches well with the photoelectric detector, making it suitable for the activator in glass scintillators. Therefore, the research on Eu3+ doped glass scintillators attract our attention. The photoluminescent and scintillating properties of Eu3+-activated boroaluminosilicate glass scintillators prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method were investigated in this work. The glass samples present good internal quantum yield. Under X-ray radiation, the optimal sample reveals high X-ray excited luminesce (XEL), and its integrated intensity of XEL is 22.7% of that of commercial crystal scintillator Bi4Ge3O12. Furthermore, the optimal specimen possesses a spatial resolution of 14 lp/mm in X-ray imaging. These results suggest that Eu3+-doped boroaluminosilicate glass is expected to be applied in X-ray imaging.

Abstract
This paper reports a sequence of a Ca3 YAl3 B4 O15 :xEu3+ red phosphor prepared using a high-temperature solid-state reaction. At the excitation of 396 nm, the samples emitted intense red emission centred at ~623 nm, which could be attributed to the 5 D0 →7 F2 transition of the Eu3+ ion. The results showed that the optimum Eu3+ doping concentration of Ca3 YAl3 B4 O15 :Eu3+ phosphor was x = 80 mol%, and the concentration quenching mechanism of Ca3 YAl3 B4 O15 :Eu3+ red phosphor belonged to the exchange coupling between Eu3+ ions. The Commission Internationale de l'éclairage (CIE) coordinates and colour purity of Ca3 Y0.2 Al3 B4 O15 :0.8Eu3+ were calculated as (0.6375, 0.3476) and 95.5%, respectively. Moreover, the red emission of the obtained phosphor Ca3 YAl3 B4 O15 :0.8Eu3+ exhibited a low thermal quenching behaviour with an intensity retention rate of 92.85% at 150°C. The above results manifest that the Eu3+ -activated Ca3 YAl3 B4 O15 phosphor is predicted to be a promising red luminescent component for white light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
In this work, titania (TiO2) nanoparticles modified by Eu(TTA)3Phen complexes (ETP) were prepared by a simple solvothermal method developing a fluorescence Mn7+ pollutant sensing system. The characterization results indicate that the ETP cause structural deformation and redshifts of the UV-visible light absorptions of host TiO2 nanoparticles. The ETP also reduce the crystallinity and crystallite size of TiO2 nanoparticles. Compared with TiO2 nanoparticles modified with Eu3+ (TiO2-Eu3+), TiO2 nanoparticles modified with ETP (TiO2-ETP) exhibit significantly stronger photoluminescence under the excitation of 394 nm. Under UV excitation, TiO2-ETP nanoparticles showed blue and red emission corresponding to TiO2 and Eu3+. In addition, as the concentration of ETP in TiO2 nanoparticles increases, the PL intensity at 612 nm also increases. When ETP-modified TiO2 nanoparticles are added to an aqueous solution containing Mn7+, the fluorescence intensity of both TiO2 and ETP decreases. The evolution of the fluorescence intensity ratio (I1/I2) of TiO2 and ETP is linearly related to the concentration of Mn7+. The sensitivity of fluorescence intensity to Mn7+ concentration enables the design of dual fluorescence ratio solid particle sensors. The method proposed here is simple, accurate, efficient, and not affected by the environmental conditions.

Abstract
The binary nanocomposites of metal/covalent-organic frameworks (NH2-MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-1) were constructed by solvothermal method, which was developed as a multifunctional platform with adsorption and photocatalysis for radionuclides removal. The batch experiments and physicochemical property (FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, etc.) corroborated: (i) core-shell NH2-MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-1 had a more stable, multilayer pore structure and abundant active functional groups; (ii) NH2-MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-1 had fast a removal rate, as well as a high adsorption capacity of 536.73 mg (UO22+)/g and 593.97 mg (Eu3+)/g; (iii) the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model provided a more reasonable description, indicating the immobilization process was endothermic, spontaneous chemisorption; (iv) the adsorption mechanism was chelation and electrostatic attraction, ascribed to the nitrogen/oxygen-containing functional groups. These results illustrated that NH2-MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-1 was a prospective adsorbent for the remediation polluted by radionuclides. In addition, the research provided the theoretical basis for further investigation on the UO22+(VI) photoreduction.

Abstract
Novel multicomponent titanate-germanate glasses singly doped with transition metal (Cr3+) and rare earth ions (Eu3+) were synthesized and the glass transition temperatures and thermal stability parameters were determined using DSC measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed fully amorphous nature of the received samples. Their structural and optical properties were compared with germanate glasses without TiO2. Correlation between local structure and optical properties in titanate-germanate glasses is well evidenced by FT-IR, Raman, EPR, and luminescence spectroscopy. In particular, luminescence spectra and their decays are examined for glass samples, where GeO2 was partially substituted by TiO2.

Abstract
Eu3+ doped Ba2MgWO6 (BMW) double-perovskite was successfully synthesized for the first time by the co-precipitation method. The synthesis procedure, crystal structure, as well as morphology of obtained samples are presented. Domination of the 5D0-7F1 magnetic-dipole over forced electric-dipole transitions in the emission spectra indicates that Eu3+ ions are located in the high symmetry site with inversion center. Only one emission line assigned to the 5D0-7F0 transition was observed, confirming that europium substituted for only one host cation site. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectrum is dominated by a strong and broad band related to the O2- → Eu3+ and O2- → W6+ charge transfer. The decay of the emission from the 5D0 and 5D1 levels was investigated. The temperature-dependent emission spectra showed that the T0.5 is equal to 350 K. Extinguishing mechanisms of the Eu3+ luminescence in the studied host are discussed.

Abstract
Solid state white light sources based on a near-UV LED chip are gaining more and more attention. This is due to the increasing efficiency of near-UV-emitting LED chips and wider phosphors selection if compared to devices based on blue LED chips. Here, a brief overview is given of the concepts of generating white light employing near-UV LED and some optical properties of the available phosphors are discussed. Finally, the synthesis and optical properties of very efficient red-emitting Ba2Y5B5O17:Eu3+ phosphor powder and ceramics is reported and discussed in terms of possible application as a red component in near-UV LED-based white light sources.

Abstract
This work is concerned with the search for new luminescent materials emitting in the orange-red color. We have synthesized YPO4 doped with Gd3+0.25% and/or Eu3+0.50% by hydrothermal method and YP3O9 doped with Sm3+0.25% and/or Eu3+0.50% by ultraphosphate decomposition reaction. Phase purity was checked by FTIR and XRD. Excitation and emission spectra and fluorescence decay measurements were recorded at room temperature (RT). Emission spectra allow to determine the site symmetry of rare earth (RE3+) in the crystallographic structure of matrices. Weak Eu3+ emission is detected from YPO4:Gd3+, Eu3+ under excitation at 273 nm. Sm3+ levels were detected in excitation spectrum of YP3O9:Sm3+, Eu3+ monitoring Eu3+ principal emission at 618 nm. Excited states lifetimes of Gd3+ and Sm3+ sensitizers (S) decrease from mono-doped to co-doped matrices indicating an Energy transfers (ET) from S to Eu3+ with a rate higher than 19%.

Abstract
Herein, we have introduced rare-earth cations Tb3+ and Eu3+ into CsPbBr3 QDs glass by conventional melt-quenching. Rare-earth cations like Tb3+ emit green light, causing the main peak of bromide lead cesium to exhibit some redshift, owing to the energy transfer between CsPbBr3 and Tb3+. To achieve adjustable light, Eu3+ emits red light, which was doped in this glass with different proportions to solve the problem of red deficiency. More importantly, Tb3+ and Eu3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QDs glass shows a series of desirable characteristics due to the energy transfer between Tb3+ and Eu3+. Interestingly, the blue light radiated by blue chip can excite Tb3+, Eu3+, and CsPbBr3 perovskite effectively. We acquired high-performance white light-emitting diodes with color-rendering index, color coordinate transformation, and luminous efficiency of 85.7, 4945 K, and 63.21 lm/W under the current of 20 mA. This acquired Tb3+, Eu3+ co-doped CsPbBr3 QDs glass proved the significant feasibility of luminescent materials in solid warm light source.

Abstract
Novel phenanthroline Schiff base fluorescent sensors L1, L2, and D1 were designed and synthesized. The sensing abilities of the compounds in the presence of metal cations (Li+ , Na+ , K+ , Ag+ , Mg2+ , Ba2+ , Ca2+ , Mn2+ , Pb2+ , Hg2+ , Ni2+ , Zn2+ , Cd2+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ , Cr3+ , Fe3+ , Fe2+ , Al3+ , and Eu3+ ) were studied by UV-vis and fluorescent spectroscopy. The compounds L1, L2, and D1 could act as Eu3+ ion turn-off fluorescent sensors based on ligand-to-metal binding mechanism in DMSO-H2 O solution (v/v = 1:1, 10 mM Tris, pH = 7.4). Additionally, the L1-Eu3+ and D1-Eu3+ complexes could be applied as turn-on enantioselective sensors sensing of malate anion isomers with color changes. Furthermore, biological experiments using living PC-12 cells demonstrated that L1 and D1 had excellent membrane permeability and could be used as effective fluorescent sensors for detecting Eu3+ and malate anion in living cells.

Abstract
The La1 - x Ca x VO4 and La1 - x - y Eu y Ca x VO4 (0 ≤ x, y ≤ 0.2) micro/nanosized powders were prepared by aqueous nitrate-citrate sol-gel synthesis. Phase composition of the sample depends on the x and y values. The La0.9Ca0.1VO4 is crystallized in monoclinic structure up to the x = 0.1. The La0.9Eu0.05Ca0.05VO4 sample was also attributed to the monoclinic structure. Increasing concentration of europium and calcium ions in La1 - x - yEu y Ca x VO4 solid solutions leads to the change of the crystal structure, and subsequently, stabilization of the tetragonal phase takes place.The obtained samples were characterized by XRD analysis, SEM microscopy, and IR spectroscopy. Luminescence properties of the synthesized powders were studied. Emission of the La1 - x Ca x VO4 samples is weak and consists of wide bands in the 450-800 nm spectral range. The observed bands at 570 and 630 were ascribed to electron transitions in the distorted VO43- vanadate groups. Emission of the La1 - x - y Eu y Ca x VO4 samples consists of narrow spectral lines in the 550-730 nm spectral range. The lines are caused by the 5D0 → 7FJ electron transitions in the Eu3+ ions. The Ca2+ ions incorporation increases the intensity of the Eu3+ ions luminescence. Structure of the spectra depends on Ca2+ concentration and excitation wave length. The carried out analysis has revealed that Eu3+ ions form at least two different types of emission centers in the La1 - x - y Eu y Ca x VO4 samples. The assumption is made that type I centers are formed by the Eu3+ ions in their regular positions in the crystal lattice, while the type II centers have complex structure and consist of Eu3+ ions, Ca2+ cations, and oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
Undoped and PbNb2O6:Eu(3+) (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 6.0 mol%) phosphors were synthesized at 1100 °C for 3.5 h by the conventional solid state reaction method. Synthesized PbNb2O6:Eu(3+) phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Photoluminescence (PL) analyses. The PL spectra showed series of excitation peaks between 350 and 430 nm due to the 4f-4f transitions of Eu(3+). For 395.0 nm excitation, emission spectra of Eu(3+) doped samples were observed at 591 nm (orange) and 614 nm (red) due to the (5)D0 → (7)F1 transitions and (5)D0 → (7)F2 transitions, respectively. PL analysis results also showed that the emission intensity increased by increasing Eu(3+) ion content. No concentration quenching effect was observed. The CIE chromaticity color coordinates (x,y) of the PbNb2O6:Eu(3+) phosphors were found to be in the red region of the chromaticity diagram.

Abstract
Eu3+ -doped transparent glass ceramics containing MF2 (M = Ba, Ca, Sr) nanocrystals were fabricated using a melt-quenching method, and the resulting structures were studied using X-ray diffraction. Levels 5 D1 and 5 D0 of Eu3+ ions were verified as thermally coupled levels using the fluorescence intensity ratio method. The fluorescence intensity ratios, optical temperature sensitivity and thermal quenching ratios of the transparent glass ceramics were studied as a function of temperature. With an increase in temperature, the relative sensitivity (SR ) decreased sharply at first, then slowly increased, before finally decreasing. The minimum SR values of GCBaF2 (GCB), GCCaF2 (GCC) and GCSrF2 (GCS) were 2.8 × 10-4 , 0.8 × 10-4 and 1.9 × 10-4 K-1 at 360, 269 and 319 K, respectively. Glass ceramics with an intense emission intensity can be used to convert the measured spectrum into temperature and may have an important role in temperature detectors.

Abstract
Monodisperse and spherical Eu-doped TiO2nanodots were prepared on substrate by phase-separation-induced self-assembly. The average diameters of the nanodots can be 50 and 70 nm by changing the preparation condition. The calcined nanodots consist of an amorphous TiO2matrix with Eu3+ions highly dispersed in it. The Eu-doped TiO2nanodots exhibit intense luminescence due to effective energy transfer from amorphous TiO2matrix to Eu3+ions. The luminescence intensity is about 12.5 times of that of Eu-doped TiO2film and the luminescence lifetime can be as long as 960 μs.
