Photoluminescent Y2O3:Eu3+@PVA composite dispersions and films for anti-counterfeiting ink applications

The development of high-tech anti-counterfeiting inks to detect counterfeit products is a crucial task for almost every aspect of modern life around the world. Herein, we report the synthesis of photoluminescent xY2O3:Eu3+@PVA (x = 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) composite dispersions and films and demonstrate their potential for anti-counterfeiting inks applications. Laser-synthesized m-Y2O3:Eu3+ nanoparticles (daver = 20.3 ± 6.9 nm) with strong red luminescence due to 5D0 → 7F0-4 transitions of Eu3+ were used as a pigment to create luminescent composites. Detailed photoluminescence properties of the obtained composite dispersions and films as a function of m-Y2O3:Eu3+ content were investigated in combination with SEM, EDX, UV–Vis and IR spectroscopy data. Tuning of the CIE coordinates of xY2O3:Eu3+@PVA is observed by changing the excitation wavelength. The results of SEM showed that the photoluminescent nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the PVA film. Photoluminescent m-Y2O3:Eu3+-doped PVA composite inks can be applied via spray, brush, and screen-printing techniques to create security features on various surfaces, including glass, ceramics, paper, plastics, and currency notes. These inks remain stable for at least four months and offer a distinctive luminescent signature that is challenging to replicate, owing to the unique photoluminescence spectrum of Eu3+ in the monoclinic Y2O3 polymorph.

Triple-Mode Protection with Ln3+ Ion-Doped Core-Heptad-Shell Single Nanocrystals for High-Level Security Applications.

In this work, oleic acid (OA)-capped core-heptad-shell (CHS) nanocrystals (NCs) that exhibit multiple emissions achieved through downshifting and orthogonal upconversion are synthesized via layer-by-layer thermal decomposition. This method enables the downshifting process to be accommodated by doping ions in the inert space between two upconversion patterns (the core and fourth shell) and doping Ce/Tb or Ce/Eu ions in the NaGdF4 layer for the first time. These developed CHS NCs exhibit different emission colors via 980 and 800 nm orthogonal upconversion and downshifting emissions under 256 nm UV excitation in hexane solvent. Furthermore, surface-functionalized OA is removed using mild acid treatment. The resulting bare CHS NCs disperse well in water and exhibit 21.60-fold and 43.59-fold higher Ce/Tb and Ce/Eu luminescence intensities, respectively, than the OA-capped CHS NCs. These NCs are mixed with a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) polymer in an aqueous medium to form a CMC-CHS NC gel. Invisible patterns and QR codes are printed on nonfluorescent paper using gels and screen-printing techniques. These patterns and QR codes exhibit three different emission colors under three different excitations. This method can be used for high-level anticounterfeiting applications.

Exploring the efficiency enhancement of perovskite solar cells by chemical bath depositing SnO2 on mesoporous TiO2 electrode

This study presents a groundbreaking approach to enhance the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by employing Chemical Bath Deposited (CBD) SnO2 on mesoporous TiO2 (m-TiO2) as an electron transport layer (ETL) without a traditional compact TiO2 (c-TiO2) layer between FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) and m-TiO2 ETL.

Metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in various fields, including catalysis, sensing, energy storage, and more. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is a promising material for gas sensors due to its sensitivity to various gases, including oxidizing and reducing gases. The calcination temperature affects their size, crystallinity, surface area, and other properties. In the present research work, the influence of calcination temperature on the structural, electrical and gas sensing properties of MnO2 nanoparticles or nanopowders was investigated. The MnO2 nanopowder was calcinated at 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C in a muffle furnace for 4 hours. After that, using the calcinated powder of MnO2, the thick films were prepared using the standard screen printing technique. The structural characterizations were investigated using SEM, EDS, and XRD. It has been found that as the calcination temperature is increased, the electrical, structural, and gas-sensing properties of MnO2 change. The prepared thick films calcinated at 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C are labeled as samples 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, in this paper.

An adaptive-conforming biodegradable flexible power supply based on continuous glucose oxidation

This paper reports an adaptive degradable flexible power supply. The power supply is produced using a batch-printed, easy-to-operate screen-printing technique that converts the chemical energy of glucose and oxygen into electricity. The power supply has stable current and voltage outputs in vitro, delivering a consistent open circuit potential of 0.2 V in vitro. Due to the flexibility and degradability of the power supply, the power supply can be implanted anywhere in the tissue. This breaks through the limitation of location, for example, mechanical energy harvesters can only be implanted in places with frequent movements. And due to the degradable nature of the power supply, surgical resection is avoided. Glucose and oxygen are ubiquitous and abundant in interstitial fluid. The in vivo experimental results prove that the power supply can power the light-emitting diode and have a stable current output. Therefore, the power supply is expected to provide internal power for implantable devices, avoiding transmission from external sources such as radio frequency.

According to this strategy, the characterisation and electrochemical study results revealed that doping PANI into both symmetric and asymmetric devices significantly increased the material’s capacitive performance of areal capacitance 167 mFcm−2 for MnO2/Graphene/PANI-5 composite (MGP-5) and 292.5 mFcm−2 for asymmetric supercapacitor (ASSC) at 5 mVs−1. Furthermore, the asymmetric supercapacitor displayed outstanding cyclic stability, retaining 93.6% of its capacitance after 10000 cycles. This underscores the possibility of incorporating polyaniline (PANI) into MnO2 and graphene matrices as efficient blueprints for the development of superior electrode materials.
