Ratiometric detection of enzyme turnover and flavin reduction using rare-earth upconverting phosphors.

چکیده
Gd4O2S:Yb:Tm rare-earth upconversion phosphors have been utilised to monitor the redox behaviour of flavin mononucleotide and report on the turnover of a flavo-protein, (pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase). The presence of two bands separated by over 300 nm in the UCP emission spectra allows ratiometric signalling of these processes with high sensitivity.

Dual-emitting nanocomposites derived from rare-earth compound nanotubes for ratiometric fluorescence sensing applications.
A new class of ratiometric fluorescence sensors composed of rare-earth (RE) compound nanotubes is described. Polyethylenimine-coated yttrium hydroxide fluoride nanotubes (YHF NTs) that were synthesized hydrothermally exhibit highly efficient fluorescence when doped with RE ions. The polyethylenimine on the NTs facilitates the incorporation of phosphors such as quantum dots or organic dyes onto ...
متن کاملMultimodal bioimaging using rare earth doped Gd2O2S: Yb/Er phosphor with upconversion luminescence and magnetic resonance properties.
While infrared upconversion imaging using halide nanoparticles are so common the search for a very efficient halide free upconverting phosphors is still lacking. In this article we report Gd2O2S:Yb/Er,YbHo,YbTm systems as a very efficient alternative phosphors that show upconversion efficiency comparable or even higher than existing halide phosphors. While the majority of rare earth dopants pro...
متن کاملInnovative Application of Mechanical Activation for Rare Earth Elements Recovering: Process Optimization and Mechanism Exploration
With the rapidly expanding use of fluorescent lamps (FLs) and increasing interest in conservation and sustainable utilization of critical metals such as rare earth elements (REEs), the recovering of REEs from phosphors in waste FLs is becoming a critical environmental and economic issue. To effectively recycle REEs with metallurgical methods, mechanical activation by ball milling was introduced...
متن کاملRecovering Y and Eu from Waste Phosphors Using Chlorination Roasting—Water Leaching Process
Recovering Y and Eu from waste phosphors using chlorination roasting followed by a water leaching process was investigated in this study. Firstly, by chlorination roasting and water leaching, Y and Eu elements present in waste phosphors were efficiently extracted into a leach solution. Secondly, the majority of the impurities in the solution can be removed by adjusting the pH to 4.5 using a Na2...
متن کاملTHE SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND UPCONVERTING PROPERTIES OF ERBIUM DOPED; YTTERBIUM, ERBIUM CO-DOPED YTTRIUM OXYSULFIDE PHOSPHORS UNDER 808, 980, AND 1560 nm EXCITATION
Bulk yttrium oxysulfide phosphors were prepared using the polysulfide flux method. The morphology and structure was characterized using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray powdered diffraction. Visible emissions occurring near 530 and 550 nm and 660 670 nm consistent with the H11/2, S3/2 → I15/2 and F9/2 → I15/2 transitions, respectively, were observed under 808, 980, and 1560 nm excitat...
