Identifying the Thermodynamic Driving Force of Metal Extraction by Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents
Solvent extraction (SX) in hydrophobic eutectic solvent (HES) appears as an extension rather than a “revolution” of SX in common organic diluents for a given neutral extractant. A detailed thermodynamic and spectroscopic study shows that SX in HES imposes an enthalpic penalty but lowers the entropy cost of Eu3+ transfer, leading to enhanced metal ...

ABSTRACT The rational design of lanthanide‐based luminescent systems using purely theoretical approaches remains challenging due to the reliance of existing models on experimental data. Herein, we propose a theoretical protocol for the design of new Eu3+ based luminescent systems, starting from a previously synthesized and experimentally characterized ...

Speckle‐Engineered Upconversion Amplification in Nanoemulsion‐Templated Hydrogel Microdomes
Nanoemulsion‐confined PEGDA microdomes generate speckle‐like excitation fields that strongly amplify upconversion luminescence upon dehydration, enabling filter‐free visible readout with reversible on–off switching. DMD‐based lithography yields scalable, shape‐programmable arrays for moisture‐responsive displays and optical encryption.

Theory‐guided strain engineering and rare‐earth templating are combined to create Pt5(Ce)Co@Pt multilayer nanoparticles with a Pt5Co‐like sublayer that fine‐tunes *OH binding near the ORR volcano optimum. The resulting catalyst delivers exceptional mass activity and remarkable long‐term PEMFC durability, revealing a strategy for designing highly active

Luminescence and Photochromism in Lanthanide‐Doped Hackmanites
Lanthanide‐doped lithium hackmanite derivatives are prepared utilizing a doped LiAlSiO4 precursor to modify luminescent and photochromic properties. Upon UV excitation, europium doping results in green Eu2+ persistent luminescence from shallow traps. Contrarily, samarium doping induces unusual near‐infrared photochromism.

Cartoon representation of five major classes of metalloproteins and their brief mechanisms of bioremediation. The five classes include metallothioneins, metal‐precipitating enzymes, P.‐type ATPases, protein cages, and synthetic metalloproteins (de novo‐designed proteins/peptides for selective adsorption). These natural and engineered protein structures

This work proposes a multifunctional Bi2WO6:Yb,Er@CuS@CS nanocomposite that integrates photodynamic therapy (PDT), near‐infrared‐triggered photothermal therapy (PTT), and Cu2+ release for infected wound repair. The nanocomposite demonstrates enhanced antibacterial efficacy via combined PDT, PTT, and Cu2+ release, effective immunomodulatory by mild ...

The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

ABSTRACT Hexanuclear cyclic Gd(III) coordination compounds are promising candidates for magnetic and magnetocaloric applications, yet systematic series remain rare due to synthetic challenges. We report the synthesis and characterization of five new complexes with the general formula [Gd(H3bt)(carboxylate)]6, employing four different carboxylate ...
