X-ray diffraction shows that the obtained crystal is a single phase of LiNbO3 and the rare-earth ions occupied the Li^＋ or Nb^5＋ sites instead of the interstitial sites. Under 980 nm excitation, green and red emission bands due to the Ho^3＋ （^5S2, ^5F4）/^5I8 and Ho^3＋ ^5F5/^5I8 energy transitions are observed in these samples, respectively. Power dependence studies on these samples with different Yb^3＋ dopant concentrations indicate that the red and green emissions are based on a two-photon process. The intensities of the red and green upconversion fluorescence increase with Yb3＋ ions of 0-2.0 mol% because of an increased Yb^3＋ sensitization, but decrease at higher concentrations owing to the back-energy transfer between the Yb^3＋ and Ho^3＋ ions.展开更多

Their up-conversion fluorescence characteristics were investigated by 980 nm laser. Two emission peaks were observed at 540 and 650 nm. The up-conversion mechanism and processes were analyzed. The relationship between pumping power and relative intensity of emissions was discussed. From the dependence, it is known that the emissions centered at 540 and 650 nm are both attributed to two-photon process.展开更多

In this paper, we experimentally study the up-conversion luminescence tuning of Er3+-doped ceramic glass excited by the unshaped, V-shaped and cosine-shaped femtosecond laser field with different laser powers. The results show that green and red up-conversion luminescence can be effectively tuned by varying the power or spectral phase of the femtosecond laser field. We further analyze the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism by considering different excitation processes, including single-photon absorption(SPA), two-photon absorption(TPA), excited state absorption(ESA), and energy transfer up-conversion(ETU). The relative weight of TPA in the whole excitation process can increase with the increase of the laser power, thereby enhancing the intensity ratio between green and red luminescence(I547/I656). However, the second ETU(ETU2) process can generate red luminescence and reduce the green and red luminescence intensity ratio I547/I656, while the third ESA(ESA3) process can produce green luminescence and enhance its control efficiency. Moreover, the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism is further validated by observing the up-conversion luminescence intensity, depending on the laser power and the down-conversion luminescence spectrum under the excitation of 400-nm femtosecond laser pulse. These studies can present a clear physical picture that enables us to understand the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism in rare-earth ions, and can also provide an opportunity to tune up-conversion luminescence to promote its related applications.展开更多

Results demonstrate that the as-synthesized CoMn204 materials exhibit excel-lent electrochemical properties. The CoMn204 anode can deliver a large capacity of 1070 mAh g-1 in thefirst discharge, a reversible capacity of 500 mAh g^-1 after 100 cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 98.5% at a charge-discharge current density of 200 mA g^-l, and a specific capacity of 385 mAh g^-1 at a muchhigher charge-discharge current density of 1600mA g^-1. Synchrotron X-ray absorption fine structure（XAFS） techniques were applied to investigate the conversion reaction mechanism of the CoMn204 anode.The X-ray absorption near edge structure （XANES） spectra revealed that, in the first discharge-charge cy-cle, Co and Mn in CoMn204 were reduced to metallic Co and Mn when the electrode was discharged to0.01 V, while they were oxidized respectively to CoO and MnO when the electrode was charged to 3.0V.Experiments of both XANE5 and extended X-ray absorption fine structure （EXAFS） revealed that neithervalence evolution nor phase transition of the porous core-shell CoMn204 microspheres could happen inthe discharge plateau from 0.8 to 0.6V, which demonstrates the formation of solid electrolyte interface（SEI） on the anode.展开更多

It was found that the ion doping of PANI showed a certain catalytic activity for the regeneration of traditional iodide/triiodide(I^-/I_3^-) redox couples. The power conversion efficiency(η) of PANI CEs doped with Mn^(2+),Ni^(2+),Co^(2+) (4.41%, 2.36% and 2.10%, respectively) were higher than 1.94%, the value measured for PANI CE without doping. Doping with Cu^(2+)decreased the power conversion efficiency of PANI CE(PANI-Cu^(2+) η = 1.41%). The electrical properties of the PANI, PANI-Ni^(2+), PANI-Co^(2+),PANI-Mn^(2+) and PANI-Cu^(2+) were studied by cyclic voltammetry(CV), impedance(EIS), and Tafel polarization curve. The experimental results confirmed that PANI was affected by the doping of different transition metal ions(M^(2+)=Mn^(2+),Ni^(2+),Co^(2+),Cu^(2+)). These results indicate a potential application of ion doped PANI as counter electrode in cost-effective DSSCs.展开更多

Here, we investigate the potential of hierarchical N-doped porous carbon (NPC) derived from jackfruit rags through a facile pyrolysis as an anode material for SIBs. The cycling performance of NPC at 1 A/g for 2000 cycles featured a stable reversible capacity of 122.3 mA h/g with an outstanding capacity retention of 99.1%. These excellent electrochemical properties can be attributed to the unique structure of NPC;it features hierarchical porosity with abundant carbon edge defects and large speci c surface areas.
