Abstract
A series of un-doped and Cr3+ doped V2O5 (1–5 mol%) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized using a combustion method, employing Gasteria Succulents (G.S.) gel as a bio-based fuel. The orthorhombic crystalline structure of the NPs was verified through Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), while Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed their rod-shaped morphology. Under 394 nm excitation, the Cr3+ ions within the V2O5 matrix exhibited pronounced red emission, attributed to the 2Eg→4A2g electric dipole transition in a strong crystal field environment. Among the samples, V2O5:0.03Cr3+ NPs demonstrated superior optical characteristics, achieving outstanding color purity (CP) of 99.9 % and an impressive internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 78.32 %. These NPs also exhibited excellent thermal stability, retaining 89.36 % of their emission intensity at 420 K, making them viable for photonic applications in high-temperature environments. The V2O5:0.03Cr3+ NPs showed significant potential in white light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs) fabrication, delivering a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5389 K, CIE coordinates of (0.3345, 0.3223), and a high color rendering index (CRI) of Ra = 93. Incorporating V2O5:0.03Cr3+ NPs into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix exhibited robust red luminescence under UV-365 nm UV light, highlighting their effectiveness in AC applications. Furthermore, these NPs excelled in latent fingerprints (LFPs) development, offering excellent selectivity and high contrast under UV-365 nm illumination, enabling clear visualization of level I–III fingerprint features. Fingerprints (FPs) recognition and analysis were automated and refined using YOLOv8x software. Additionally, the V2O5:0.03Cr3+ NPs demonstrated significant biological potential by mitigating oxidative damage from peroxynitrite to proteins, lipids, and endothelial structures, underscoring their utility in addressing chronic endothelial dysfunction.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
