Luminescent lanthanide-based sensor for H2O detection in aprotic solvents and D2O
IEEE Sensors Journal. 2019. Vol. 19. No. 17. P. 7365–7372.
Applied methods for detecting water impurities in organic solvents, such as Fischer titration, include wayward equipment and toxic reagents. This method is inapplicable for detecting H2O in D2O, but suitable techniques like NMR-, IR-, and mass-spectrometry are costly. We report a low-cost, novel luminescent sensor material based on terbium-europium 3D MOF compound developed for facile, portable, and disposable monitoring of water quantities. Our sensor is able to determine water traces in D2O and aprotic organic solvents. Treating the material to solvent leads to the change in intensities ratio of terbium and europium bands in emission spectra depending of water content and nature of solvent. For D2O calibrating plot IEu/ITb – %H2O is linear whereas for dioxane and acetonitrile the dependence becomes linear in the coordinates IEu/ITb - ln(%H2O). The results reveal the potential application of developed sensor for ratiometric quantitation of H2O admixtures in D2O, organic solvents, transformer oil, etc.

Resonators based on nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) using two-dimensional (2D) materials with high-quality factors and excellent electrical control are critical for tunable coherent phonon dynamics, resonant sensors and wireless communications. However, their performance is fundamentally limited by the lack of a unified framework governing energy dissipation mechanisms and their electrical tunability. Here, we synergistically modulate both ...

Thermoelectric materials, long explored for energy harvesting and thermal sensing, convert heat directly into electrical signals. Extending their application to the terahertz (THz) frequency range opens opportunities for low-noise, bias-free THz detection, yet conventional thermoelectrics lack the sensitivity required for practical devices. Thermoelectric coefficients can be strongly enhanced near van Hove singularities (VHS), though these ...

This paper investigates one possible solution to the problem of self-interference cancellation (SIC) arising in the design of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication systems. Self-interference cancellation is performed in the digital domain using multilayer nonlinear models adapted via gradient-based optimization. The presence of local minima and saddle points during the adaptation of multilayer models limits the ...

Pyruvylation is one of the immunochemically relevant modifications of O-antigens in bacterial and fungal cells. Therefore, fast and relatively simple analytical methods for identifying this modification are highly demanded. 13C NMR spectroscopy is the best candidate for this purpose, but its successful application requires using reference structures and reliable databases. In this work, we collected ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...
