Article Abstract

In the present work, Eu/Dy ions doped/co-doped into persistent SrAlO microparticles have been developed through solid-state synthesis followed by homogenization and particle size reduction in a ball milling device. These particles have shown a broad and long-persistent afterglow around the 528 nm wavelength of electromagnetic radiation through a broad excitation at around 400 nm. The luminescence intensity was optimized through the selection of different annealing temperatures in the range of 1100 °C to 1500 °C, with intervals of 100 °C. Several structural and optical characterization techniques, such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis, and photoluminescence, were utilized to judge the preparation and ability of these particles in possible applications in latent fingermark detection on various difficult surfaces. The persistency and stability of these particles were calculated using a digital lux meter.

Piezoelectric polymer textiles offer distinct advantages in the fabrication of wearable nanogenerators (NGs). One effective strategy to enhance the output capacity of NGs is to modulate the piezoelectric performance of the textiles. This paper focuses on further improving the piezoelectric properties of nylon-11,11 textiles through post-drawing and annealing treatments.

Unlabelled: Plasmonic enhanced fluorescence (PEF) technology is a powerful strategy to improve the sensitivity of immunofluorescence microarrays (IFMA), however, current approaches to constructing PEF platforms are either expensive/time-consuming or reliant on specialized instruments. Here, we develop a completely alternative approach relying on a two-step protocol that includes the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) at the water-oil interface and subsequent annealing-assisted regulation of gold nanogap. Our optimized thermal-annealing GNPs (TA-GNP) platform generates adequate hot spots, and thus produces high-density electromagnetic coupling, eventually enabling 240-fold fluorescence enhancement of probed dyes in the near-infrared region.

Quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) perovskites featured with multidimensional quantum wells (QWs) have been the main candidates for optoelectronic applications. However, excessive low-dimensional perovskites are unfavorable to the device efficiency due to the phonon-exciton interaction and the inclusion of insulating large organic cations. Herein, the formation of low-dimensional QWs is suppressed by removing the organic cation 1-naphthylmethylamine iodide (NMAI) through ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) annealing.

Three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous thin films with sub-100 nm periodic lattices are of increasing interest as templates for a number of nanotechnology applications, yet are hard to achieve with conventional top-down fabrication methods. Block copolymer self-assembly derived mesoscale structures provide a toolbox for such 3D template formation. In this work, single (alternating) gyroidal and double gyroidal mesoporous thin-film structures are achieved via solvent vapor annealing assisted co-assembly of poly(isoprene-block-styrene-block-ethylene oxide) (PI-b-PS-b-PEO, ISO) and resorcinol/phenol formaldehyde resols.
