TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposites with different copper (Cu) precursor loadings were prepared by a one-step sonochemical process. The mole ratio of Cu precursor in TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite was varied at 0.004, 0.008, 0.020, and 0.040, respectively. The specific X-ray characterization techniques on crystalline structure, chemical composition, and chemical states of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite were carried out by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Surface morphology and chemical bonding of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite were monitored by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). For antibacterial properties, the inhibition zone of antimicrobial activity was investigated by varying amounts of Cu precursors in the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite. After that, Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite powder with different Cu precursor ratios was mixed in PMMA solution and deposited on glass slides to study the optical property and hydrophilicity by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and contact angle method. XRD patterns of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposites show the formation of the main TiO<inf>2</inf> anatase phase with the ultrafine particles observed by FE-SEM images. FT-IR spectra of the composites are assigned to the prominent peaks of the Ti-O-Ti and Ti-O-Si bond relating to the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> host matrix. Meanwhile, TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composites with Cu precursor at 0.004 mol ratio can significantly enhance the antibacterial activity with a large inhibition zone. The contact angle value of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposite film at 0.040 Cu precursor mole ratio in the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> matrix resulted in the optimized composite ratio for achieving a hydrophilic surface on the substrate.

Phosphate-based glasses are promising materials which are being employed for broad range of applications whereas Eu3+ is an efficient activator due to its predominant 5D<inf>0</inf> →7F<inf>2</inf> emission (red region). In this direction, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of Eu3+ ions doped lead phosphate glasses (PPbKANEu: P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf>+PbO+K<inf>2</inf>O+Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>+Na<inf>2</inf>O+Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>) to explore possible photonic device applications. Optical absorption, excitation, photoluminescence and decay rates are used to characterize the PPbKANEu glasses. The photoluminescence spectrum of Eu3+:PPbKAN glasses exhibit emission channels from the first excited (5D<inf>0</inf>) to the ground (7F<inf>J</inf> (J =0–4)) multiplets. To determine the local site symmetry of surrounding Eu3+ ions, the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of 5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>1</inf> versus 5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>2</inf> emission channels has been analyzed. The emission spectrum of PPbKANEu glasses exhibits a comprehensive lifting of degeneracy of 5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>2</inf> and 5D<inf>0</inf>→7F<inf>1</inf> emission channels. By considering C<inf>2v</inf> symmetry for Eu3+ ions, the second (B<inf>0</inf>2= −406 and B<inf>2</inf>2=−158) and fourth (B<inf>0</inf>4=980, B<inf>2</inf>4=297 and B<inf>4</inf>4=926 cm–1) rank crystal–field (CF) characteristics were estimated along with CF strength factor (S= 402 cm–1). The lifetime of 5D<inf>0</inf> state is estimated to be 2.09, 2.23, 2.21 and 2.21 ms for 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mol% of Eu3+ ions, respectively. The analysis of the decay times reveals that the lifetime of 5D<inf>0</inf> state is less affected by the concentration of the Eu3+ ion. The results are compared and discussed with reported values and confirm the potentiality of the PPbKANEu glasses for optical device applications in visible regions.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopowders have been widely applied in electronics, optics and photocatalytic applications depending on their morphological structure. In the bottom-up process, it is conceived that the different zinc precursors may result in different formations of ZnO nanostructures with exceptional morphology. This work focuses on ZnO material synthesized via the facile sol-gel synthesis using different zinc slat precursors, including zinc acetate, zinc nitrate, zinc sulphate, and zinc chloride. All zinc salt precursors were incorporated with sodium hydroxide and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) under mild thermal energy with consistent conditions to investigate ZnO formation. The as-prepared samples appeared in white powders with different aggregation features. The crystalline phase, surface morphologies, and element mapping of all ZnO samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The chemical bonding structure of ZnO powders was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The specific surface area per volume of ZnO nanopowders obtained by different zinc salt precursors was analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. All ZnO samples obtained from various zinc salt precursors exhibited a high crystallinity of the wurtzite structure without other impurities. The structural properties of ZnO nanopowders demonstrated different sizes and structures with distinguished formation and aggregation depending on the zinc precursor basic strength being used.

Characteristics (optical, luminescence, up-conversion, etc.) of triply ionized Praseodymium (Pr3+) ions doped glasses, glass-ceramics, phosphors and crystals have been widely studied for the development of photonic devices. Most of these characteristics are mainly based on Judd–Ofelt (JO) theory to interpret transition intensities and in turn to simulate radiative properties of Pr3+ ions based optical materials. However, JO analysis provides inconsistent results for Pr3+:glasses. Further, besides no review is available focusing on uneven findings of Pr3+:glasses. Therefore, a comprehensive data on Pr3+:glasses have been collected (490 Pr3+:glasses) and compared, besides labeling glass compositions systematically. The properties that are reviewed include, Nephelauxetic effect, optical energy gap, thermal, JO parameters, radiative properties, etc. It has been noticed that the systematic study either in preparation or optimization of characteristic properties are very much missing. Moreover, large number of data sets of literature are presented at one place which is very much useful for predictive modeling approaches. Also, the primary focus of the present review is not to provide a comprehensive summary of all studies conducted so far or to discuss new findings, but rather to highlight the challenges associated with JO parameters for Pr3+ ions that influence the development of optical materials, components, and applications.

In this project, the focus is placed on the reaction optimizations to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a common chemical building block to other industrially useful derivatives. The main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of using different forms of TiO<inf>2</inf> as a catalyst to acquire 5-HMF from monosaccharides by an efficient, economical, and environment-friendly process. The use of three different forms of TiO<inf>2</inf> (anatase, rutile, and P-25) as a catalyst, for the glucose dehydration process in this study, has never been reported in past literature. The heating by microwave radiation is introduced to the reaction, which requires elevated temperature, to reduce both the required reaction time and temperature. TiO<inf>2</inf>, the heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydration mechanism, was filtered off, while the 5-HMF dissolved and stayed in the aqueous solution. The three TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst forms are separately utilized to optimize reaction conditions. Anatase form is shown to be the most effective at catalyzing the dehydration process. The reaction temperature of 187 ºC; anatase as a catalyst; and reaction time of 5 minutes led to the optimal outcome in this project. The maximum 5-HMF yield obtained in this study is 12.84%, which is in-between the 6.10-18.60% 5-HMF yield range acquired by Qi et al., 2008. Moreover, a catalyst/substrate weight ratio of 1:10 was used in this study, compared to the 1:2 ratio used by Qi et al., 2008. Hence, this project reduced the amount of catalyst required to obtain a significant 5-HMF yield, and successfully demonstrated that the anatase form of TiO<inf>2</inf> is a viable catalyst for the dehydration of monosaccharides to 5-HMF.

Currently, photocatalyst materials have gained considerable attraction because of very rich economic performance of decomposition of highly toxic organic compound to lower toxic composition. The effort of this work was paid to study the effect of sonochemical ultrasonic irradiation time on the relevant properties of visible-light-driven bismuth vanadate (BiVO<inf>4</inf>) photocatalyst without any further thermal treatment process. The chemical bonding of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanopowder was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectrometer technique. Meanwhile their structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was used to observe particle morphology and chemical compositions was investigated by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Photocatalytic performance of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanopowder was studied by decomposition of organic dye as organic pollutant model using visible light to excite photocatalyst materials. It was found that sonochemical irradiation time supplied during chemical process can effectively expedite the formation of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanoparticle. The optimized condition to obtain the product with enhanced photocatalytic performance of 60% decomposition is achieved as the sample was prepared at 40 min ultrasonic irradiation.

Na<inf>3+x</inf>[(Zr/Cr)<inf>x</inf>(Sc/Ti)<inf>2-x</inf>(PO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>] glass-ceramic material compositions containing NASICON-type crystalline phases might be a good candidate as an efficient electrolyte exclusively for Na-ion batteries. All-solid-state Na-ion full cells are designed with the three-layered pellets (NaCo<inf>0.7</inf>(VO)<inf>0.3</inf>PO<inf>4</inf>/Na<inf>3.5</inf>Zr<inf>0.5</inf>Sc<inf>1.5</inf>(PO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf> (NZSP) and Na<inf>3.5</inf>Cr<inf>0.5</inf>Ti<inf>1.5</inf>(PO<inf>4</inf>)<inf>3</inf>) (NCTP)/Na-metal foil). The electrical conductivity of the NZSPglass-ceramic powder sample achieves to be highest (9.47 × 10−04 S/cm) due to its lower grain boundary resistance (R <inf>gb</inf>) as observed in SEM images and also exhibits best electrochemical stability against conductivity when the samples kept in ambient air for 60 d. The charge/discharge capacities for the initial cycle are 75/69 and 60/53 mAhg−1 to both NZSP and NCTP of two full cells, respectively. However, discharge capacities are boosted up for both these cells without much loss in coulombic efficiency even after 10 cycles.

In this study, we investigated the impact of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) incorporation on the optical properties and oxygen detection performance of a titanium dioxide/methylene blue (TiO<inf>2</inf>/MB) nanocomposite colorimetric indicator for packaging applications. The nanocomposite was synthesized via mechanical milling of TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles with MB and citric acid. PVA, at varying concentrations (0, 3, 9, and 14 wt%), was introduced during the wet milling process to produce a homogeneous composite film. Spin coating was employed to fabricate TiO<inf>2</inf>/MB nanocomposite films for oxygen detection evaluation. The influence of PVA loading on the films’ chemical functionalities and surface morphologies was assessed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The indicator’s activation process, involving a color change between bleached and colored states, and its recovery time were monitored via optical imaging and UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometry. The results revealed that a PVA content of 9 wt% yielded well-defined films with enhanced stability of the TiO<inf>2</inf>/MB nanocomposite’s oxygen detection performance.

Rare-earth (RE)-doped glassy systems gained much interest because of its wide variety of applications in numerous potential fields that include optical fibers, solid state lasers, optical amplifiers, optical thermometry sensors, waveguides, infrared detectors, spectral converters, display devices, and so on. Within RE ions, the trivalent dysprosium (Dy3+) ion is the most unique and characteristic ion to examine emission properties for white light and visible display emitting devices. Because, Dy3+ ion emits two intense emissions in the blue (~480 nm) and yellow (~575 nm) regions that are assigned to the 4F<inf>9/2</inf>→6H<inf>15/2</inf> and 4F<inf>9/2</inf>→6H<inf>13/2</inf> transition energies, respectively. Under the excitation of blue laser, Dy3+ ions exhibit attractive yellowish white fluorescence emission with higher quantum efficiency. In view of the importance of identifying efficient luminescent emitting materials for the development of optical devices, the present work is to investigate white light emission in new glass composition of B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> +TeO<inf>2</inf> +SrCO<inf>3</inf> +ZnO+ZnF<inf>2</inf> +Dy<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> glass and in turn to compare and discuss these results with reported Dy3+:glasses. The tabulated reported data bank for 68 Dy3+:glasses at one place should prove valuable information for future work on rationalization of theoretical and practical point of view to enrich white light emission quantification, simulation and systemization.

The article reports the successful fabrication of Eu3+-doped WO<inf>3</inf> thin films via the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering (RFMS) technique. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing the tunable visible emission (blue to bluish red) from a WO<inf>3</inf>:Eu3+ thin film system using RFMS. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the crystalline nature of these thin films increased upto 3 wt% of the Eu3+ concentration. The diffraction peaks in the crystalline films are matched well with the monoclinic crystalline phase of WO<inf>3</inf>, but for all the films’, micro-Raman spectra detected bands related to WO<inf>3</inf> monoclinic phase. Vibrational and surface studies reveal the amorphous/semi-crystalline behavior of the 10 wt% Eu3+-doped sample. Valence state determination shows the trivalent state of Eu ions in doped films. In the 400–900 nm regions, the fabricated thin films show an average optical transparency of ~51–85%. Moreover, the band gap energy gradually reduces from 2.95 to 2.49 eV, with an enhancement of the Eu3+-doping content. The doped films, except the one at a higher doping concentration (10 wt%), show unique emissions of Eu3+ ions, besides the band edge emission of WO<inf>3</inf>. With an enhancement of the Eu3+ content, the concentration quenching process of the Eu3+ ions’ emission intensities is visible. The variation in CIE chromaticity coordinates suggest that the overall emission color can be altered from blue to bluish red by changing the Eu3+ ion concentration.
