Abstract
Single-phase inorganic nanostructures with multiple applications are required for cost-effective, sustainable applications to save the environment from toxic activities. Nickel vanadate (NixV2Oy), possessing three phases, such as NiV2O6, Ni2V2O7, and Ni3V2O8, acts as an effective electrode material and potential electrochemical sensors. Nickel vanadate phases (NiV2O6, Ni2V2O7, and Ni3V2O8) were synthesized through the gel-matrix technique, and their phase purity, crystallinity, morphology, optical properties, etc., were evaluated and studied. Electrochemical studies infer that NiV2O6 exhibits the highest specific capacity of 251 C g-1 (69.7 mA h g-1) at 1 A g-1 compared to the other nickel vanadate phases and provides better cyclic stability of 80.19% for 5000 cycles. The asymmetric supercapacitor device fabricated from NiV2O6 results in a specific capacity of 189 C g-1 (52.5 mA h g-1), energy density of 59.06 W h kg-1, and a power density of 1125 W kg-1 with a capacitive retention rate of 74.91% and coulombic efficiency of 99.61% for 10 000 cycles. The electrochemical detection potential of NixV2Oy in bifenox herbicide has been studied with all the synthesized nanostructures. Among them, NiV2O6-based sensor probes demonstrated excellent characteristics, including high sensing current and low detection limits of 0.6 nM with a linear range of 1-57 nM. The real-time herbicide detection of NiV2O6 in live samples was checked with freshly harvested potatoes. This advancement further enhances the utilization of NixV2Oy materials for electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Polycrystalline erbium-doped Y3Ga5O12 garnet (YGG) nanofilms are deposited by atomic layer deposition on Si substrates after annealing down to 800 °C, based on which ∼1.53 μm electroluminescence (EL) devices are fabricated. The optimal EL performance depends on the adjustment of Y/Ga ratio and Ga2O3 interlayer thickness within the nanolaminates, which exert no prominent impact on the crystallization and film morphology of YGG nanofilms. EL spectra reveal that the crystalline structure after annealing impacts the surrounding environment of Er3+ ions, leading to different emission peaks. These silicon-based devices present a low turn-on voltage of ∼25 V, while the external quantum efficiency and maximum optical power density reach 2.51% and 10.03 mW cm-2, respectively. The EL is ascribed to the impact-excitation of doped Er3+ ions in polycrystalline YGG nanofilms by energetic electrons, the conduction mechanism of which is confirmed to be the Poole-Frenkel mode. These prototype devices possess excellent stability and can operate for up to 49 hours under continuous current injection, verifying the improvement of device performance by the utilization of gallium in the fabrication of garnet nanofilms. The Si-based YGG:Er EL devices are of promising potential for integrated optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
The green, red, near-infrared and near-infrared-to-visible upconverted luminescence properties of Er3+/Yb3+ codoped Y3Ga5O12 nanocrystalline powders have been studied using laser spectroscopy. A diffuse reflectance and luminescence spectra confirm that Er3+ and Yb3+ ions occupy the Y3+ sites of the single-phase cubic nano-garnet. Very bright green and red luminescence of the Er3+ ions are detected by the naked eyes, even for a laser power as low as 15 mW, when the Yb3+ ions are excited at 970 nm. The red upconverted emission is more intense than that under direct excitation of the Er3+ ions. The power dependence and the dynamics of the near-infrared-to-green and near-infrared-to-red upconverted emissions show the existence of different two-photon energy transfer upconversion processes. The results here presented indicate that Er3+/Yb3+ codoped Y3Ga5O12 can be a good candidate as an optical nanoheater and nanothermometer in biomedicine applications in the first biological window.

Abstract
Er(3+) -Yb(3+) co-doped Lu3 Ga5 O12 nanogarnets were prepared and characterized; their structural and luminescence properties were determined as a function of the Yb(3+) concentration. The morphology of the nanogarnets was studied by HRTEM. Under 488 nm excitation, the nanogarnets emit green, red, and near-infrared light. The decay curves for the ((4) S3/2 , (2) H11/2 ) and (4) F9/2 levels of the Er(3+) ions exhibit a non-exponential nature under resonant laser excitation and their effective lifetimes are found to decrease with an increase in the Yb(3+) concentration from 1.0 to 10.0 mol %. The non-exponential decay curves are well fitted to the Inokuti-Hirayama model for S=8, indicating that the mechanism of interaction for energy transfer between the optically active ions is of dipole-quadrupole type. Upon 976 nm laser excitation, an intense green upconverted emission is clearly observed by the naked eyes. A significant enhancement of the red-to-green intensity ratio of Er(3+) ions was observed with an increase in Yb(3+) concentration. The power dependence and the dynamics of the upconverted emission confirm the existence of two-photon upconversion processes for the green and red emissions.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs) attract intensive attentions in biomedical applications. They have shown great potential in bioimaging, biomolecule detection, drug delivery, photodynamic therapy and cellular molecules interactions. Due to the anti-Stokes optical property and NIR excitation, UCNs overcome the drawbacks encountered in conventional luminescent biomarkers. High signal to noise ratio, low cytotoxicity and stable high throughput results are obtained using UCNs as luminescent labels or light triggers in biomedical applications. In this review article, the reason for choosing UCNs as biomedical agents, the progress of the UCNs development and case studies of their biomedical applications will be discussed.

Abstract
The Er(3+) and Er(3+)/Yb(3+) co-doped CeO2 powders have been prepared by a urea combustion route. The structural, morphological, compositional and vibrational analysis of the Er(3+):CeO2 and Er(3+)/Yb(3+):CeO2 powders have been studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optical and luminescence properties of Er(3+):CeO2 and Er(3+)/Yb(3+):CeO2 powders have been studied by using laser excited spectroscopy. The effects of Yb(3+) doping on up-conversion luminescence of Er(3+) co-doped CeO2 powders were studied. The ratio of red to green intensity is decreased in Er(3+):CeO2 whereas the ratio is increased in Er(3+)/Yb(3+):CeO2 powders with increase of power. The effect of co-doping with the Yb(3+) ions on the visible luminescence of Er(3+) and the energy transfer mechanism responsible for the variation in the green and red intensity are discussed. The results indicate that these materials may be suitable for display and light emitting devices.

Abstract
Lanthanide photochemistry has been frequently studied for its high luminescence intensity, narrow emission band, and stable luminescent lifetime decay. In the work presented here, nanoparticles prepared using an aerosolization process were derived from europium-based GUMBOS (Group of Uniform Material Based on Organic Salts). These nanoparticles were characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), absorbance, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. An average diameter of 39.5 ± 8.4 nm for our nanoparticles was estimated by use of electron microscopy. Absorbance, luminescence, and luminescence lifetime decay measurements indicate intense and steady luminescence, which suggests a multitude of possible applications for lanthanide-based GUMBOS, especially in sensory devices, OLEDs, and photovoltaic devices.
