AB  - In this study, we conducted an extensive investigation into broadband near-infrared luminescence of Cr3+-doped Ca3Y2Ge3O12 garnet, employing first-principles calculations within the density functional theory framework. Our initial focus involved determining the site occupancy of Cr3+ activator ions, which revealed a pronounced preference for the Y3+ sites over the Ca2+ and Ge4+ sites, as evidenced by the formation energy calculations. Subsequently, the geometric structures of the excited states 2E and 4T2, along with their optical transition energies relative to the ground state 4A2 in Ca3Y2Ge3O12:Cr3+, were successfully modeled using the ΔSCF method. Calculation convergence challenges were effectively addressed through the proposed fractional particle occupancy schemes. The constructed host-referred binding energy diagram provided a clear description of the luminescence kinetics process in the garnet, which explained the high quantum efficiency of emission. Furthermore, the accurate prediction of thermal excitation energy yielded insights into the thermal stability of the compound, as illustrated in the calculated configuration coordinate diagram. More importantly, all calculated data were consistently aligned with the experimental results. This research not only advances our understanding of the intricate interplay between geometric and electronic structures, optical properties, and thermal behavior in Cr3+-doped garnets but also lays the groundwork for future breakthroughs in the high-throughput design and optimization of luminescent performance and thermal stability in Cr3+-doped phosphors.

AB  - Porous anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) ceramics, suitable for thermal insulation in buildings, were obtained using waste seashells as a source of CaO, kaolin as a source of Al2O3 and SiO2 and banana peel as a pore former. Changing the volume of banana peel as well as the processing temperature was found to be an effective approach to control the thermo-mechanical properties of the obtained anorthite ceramics. The sintering of powder compacts containing up to 30 wt% banana peel at temperatures ranging from 1100 to 1200 °C resulted in anorthite ceramics possessing up to 45% open porosity, a compressive strength between 13 and 92 MPa, a bulk density between 1.87 and 2.62 g/cm3 and thermal conductivity between 0.097 and 3.5 W/mK. It was shown that waste materials such as seashells and banana peel can be used to obtain cost-effective thermal insulation in buildings.

AB  - The potential application of colloidal polyaniline (PANI) as an antimicrobial is limited by challenges related to solubility in common organic solvents, scalability, and antimicrobial potency. To address these limitations, we introduced a functionalized PANI (fPANI) with carboxyl groups through the polymerisation of aniline and 3-aminobenzoic acid in a 1:1 molar ratio. fPANI is more soluble than PANI which was determined using a qualitative study. We further enhanced the solubility and antimicrobial activity of fPANI by incorporating Ag nanoparticles onto the synthesized fPANI colloid via direct addition of 10 mM AgNO3. The improved solubility can be attributed to an approximately 3-fold reduction in size of particles. Mean particle sizes are measured at 1322 nm for fPANI colloid and 473 nm for fPANI-Ag colloid, showing a high dispersion and deagglomeration effect from Ag nanoparticles. Antimicrobial tests demonstrated that fPANI-Ag colloids exhibited superior potency against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and Bacteriophage PhiX 174 when compared to fPANI alone. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum virucidal concentration (MVC) values were halved for fPANI-Ag compared to fPANI colloid and attributed to the combination of Ag nanoparticles with the fPANI polymer. The antimicrobial fPANI-Ag colloid presented in this study shows promising results, and further exploration into scale-up can be pursued for potential biomedical applications.

AB  - Surface contamination and transmission can lead to Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) in a healthcare environment. To tackle this problem, a sustainable antimicrobial coating is desirable. Photocatalytic coatings with titanium dioxide (TiO2) as the main component activated by UV light are one option. In order to implement the coating in a real-world hospital setting the photocatalytic component must show activity under visible light. In this article the TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesised as both 2- and 3- component composites with polyaniline (PANI) or poly(aniline-co-3-aminobenzoic acid) (fPANI) and Ag nanoparticles to achieve photocatalytic performance activated by visible light. The UV-DRS results supported the visible light photocatalytic capability of both 2- and 3-component composite systems, and the ESR spectra exhibited the presence of charge carriers (unpaired electrons), which was confirmed by conductivity studies. The intensity of the ESR peak increases around 3-fold for PANI/fPANI-TiO2-Ag composites compared to pure PANI/fPANI. The conductivity of pure PANI and fPANI was only mildly enhanced in 3-component systems, which could be due to presence of TiO2, whereas the value increased by around three times for PANI/fPANI-Ag 2-component system due to conductive Ag nanoparticles. The composites with fPANI showed improved antimicrobial activity than PANI composites against three representative microorganisms Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and a model viral strain bacteriophage Phi X 174. Finally, we proposed a mechanism for photocatalytic activity for both 2- and 3- component systems.

AB  - Two series of new ferrocenyl pyrazolines have been synthesized by the reac-tion of ferrocenyl chalcones and their analogues with hydrazine hydrate in thepresence of corresponding carboxylic acid. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographicdata were used for detailed analysis of the interesting versatility of four com-pounds in the formation of intermolecular interactions. The analysis revealedan excellent structural flexibility of the present ferrocenyl pyrazoline moleculesfor the non-covalent interactions, with a particular contribution of the ferro-cene units. In addition, for comparison with crystallographic findings, weinvestigated the protective effect of all compounds on DNA against hydroxyland peroxyl radicals induced by Fe2+,H2O2, and 2,20-azobis(2-amidinopro-pane) dihydrochloride (AAPH). The results indicated that all compoundsshowed rather similar DNA protective activity, which was comparable withquercetin as a well-known protective compound. This similarity in antigeno-toxic action could be explained by the established excellent structural flexibil-ity of ferrocenyl pyrazolines for the formation of different intermolecularinteractions as important structural property for molecular recognition.

AB  - Diabetic retinopathy is not cured efficiently and changes of lifestyle measures may delay early retinal injury indiabetes. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of reduced daily light exposure on retinal vascularchanges in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced model of DM with emphasis on inflammation, Aqp4 expression, visualcycle and cholesterol metabolism-related gene expression in rat retina and RPE. Male Wistar rats were dividedinto the following groups: 1. control; 2. diabetic group (DM) treated with streptozotocin (100 mg/kg); 3. groupexposed to light/dark cycle 6/18 h (6/18); 4. diabetic group exposed to light/dark cycle 6/18 h (DM+6/18).Retinal vascular abnormalities were estimated based on lectin staining, while the expression of genes involved inthe visual cycle, cholesterol metabolism, and inflammation was determined by qRT-PCR. Reduced light exposurealleviated vasculopathy, gliosis and the expression of IL-1 and TNF-α in the retina with increased perivascularAqp4 expression. The expression of genes involved in visual cycle and cholesterol metabolism was significantlyup-regulated in RPE in DM+6/18 vs. DM group. In the retina only the expression of APOE was significantlyhigher in DM+6/18 vs. DM group. Reduced light exposure mitigates vascular changes and gliosis in DM via itsanti-inflammatory effect, increased retinal cholesterol turnover and perivascular Aqp4 expression.

AB  - Metals and metal oxides have subpar antibacterial activities compared to those of small-molecule antibiotics, yet there are hopes that with proper compositional and structural adjustments this gap might be bridged. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were mechanically activated and combined with particulate silver through simple reduction process elicited by UV irradiation and assisted with the ultrasound. The resulting powders in various combinations (Ag vs. no Ag, activated vs. non-activated) were characterized using a range of experimental techniques and assessed for their antibacterial activities. The preparation procedure presented in this work prevails over the disadvantages of many chemical routes, most critically by avoiding the use of toxic substances. The mechanical activation did not reduce the particle size or crystallinity of TiO2 nor did it consistently alter the bandgap, yet it enabled the doubling of the amount of silver incorporable into the material. Further, while both mechanical activation and the addition of silver in the amount not exceeding 0.5 wt% produced barely detectable structural changes in the material, they both augmented its antibacterial activity. The precursor TiO2 powder produced no inhibition zone against any of the four bacterial species tested, while the mechanical activation of TiO2 led to the formation of distinct inhibition zones against each of the four bacterial species tested. The addition of silver to activated TiO2 further widened the inhibition zones and it also imparted the antibacterial activity to non-activated TiO2. The boost in the antibacterial activity achieved by the short mechanical activation was of a similar magnitude as the boost obtained after the addition of silver. The antibacterial activity was not different for different species when no silver was added to the system. However, with the addition of silver, species selectivity was obtained, as the composites were more effective against the two Gram-negative species (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) than against the two Gram-positive ones (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis). The antibacterial activity increased with the addition of silver in the broth assay, but it was mediocre compared to that detected in the agar assay, attesting to the poor dispersability of the powders and their best performance when the bacterial cells migrate to the composite surface than vice versa. The findings of this study give hope that with appropriate microstructural or compositional alterations, the antibacterial activity of metal oxide powders and inorganic materials in general can be made comparable to that of small-molecule antibiotics.

AB  - Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCD) were synthesized using a simple and fast hydrothermal route, employing citric acid and urea as precursors. The resulting NCDs were non-covalently functionalized (conjugated) with aromatic amino acids, namely phenylalanine (Phe) and tryptophan (Trp). Atomic force microscopy revealed that the NCDs exhibit a disk-like morphology with an average diameter of approximately 60 nm and an average height of about 0.5 nm. Following conjugation, the particle height increased to around 3 nm. UV–vis spectroscopy analysis indicated successful conjugation of the amino acids to the NCD nanostructures. Additionally, DFT numerical calculations based on three differently N-doped clusters were performed to elucidate the nature of the non-covalent interactions between NCDs and the corresponding amino acids. Photoluminescent spectra demonstrated a stable and strong fluorescence signal for both hybrids in the UV region. The most significant changes were observed in the case of Trp-conjugation. In contrast to phenylalanine, the non-covalent bonding of tryptophan to NCDs strongly influenced the visible emission (around 500 nm) originating from surface states of the dots.

AB  - We report on the results of the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) of the electronic structure and mechanical properties of K2LiAlF6, both non-doped and doped with Cr3+ ions. The densities of states of K2LiAlF6 and the K2LiAlF6:Cr3+ phosphor as well as the crystal-field strength 10Dq, the Cr3+ 2E→4A2 emission energy, elastic constants, bulk and shear moduli, sound velocities and Debye temperature as functions of hydrostatic pressure ranging from 0 up to 40 GPa were calculated. The present DFT calculations indicate that, the band gap of non-doped K2LiAlF6 increases quadratically with increasing pressure. Further, the crystal field strength 10Dq and the 2E→4A2 emission energy, the Debye temperature, sound velocities and shear moduli of Cr-doped K2LiAlF6 increase with increasing pressure, while the 2E→4A2 emission energy becomes red-shifted, which indicates potential applicability of the studied system for pressure sensing. Such calculations for the title system were performed for the first time; the obtained results provide a firm basis for a deeper understanding of physical properties of both neat and doped functional materials.

AB  - La(PO3)3 activated with different concentrations of Pr3+ was synthesized by a solid-state process. The obtained powder was composed of chunks of several microns in size, typical for this type of synthesis. X-ray diffraction confirmed an orthorhombic crystal structure with the C2221 space group. The electronic band structures and density of states of La(PO3)3 and La(PO3)3:Pr3+ are calculated and presented. The visible and near-infrared emissions from Pr3+ [Xe]4f2 [Xe]4f2 electronic transitions were detected under 442 nm excitation. The red emission from the 1D2 state dominates visible spectra while emissions from the 3P0,1,2 states have smaller intensities. The 1D2 emission centered around 1020 nm is detected in the near-infrared spectral range. Intensities of 3P0 emissions increased with an increase in Pr concentration, while 1D2 emissions decreased in intensity. We found that the main process responsible for the 1D2 state decay is the Pr(1D2) + Pr(3H4) Pr(1G4) + Pr(3F3,4) cross-relaxation between two Pr ions of electric dipole-dipole character. This finding is supported by 1D2 emission decay measurements, which revealed a reduction of average decay constants from 242 μs for a 0.5 mol% doped sample to 11 μs for a 10 mol% doped sample and an increasingly stronger non-exponential behavior of emission decay patterns with an increase in Pr3+ concentration.

AB  - Toxic elements, lead, and copper are often found in wastewater discharged from industries such as mining. The discharge of untreated effluent poses severe environmental challenges and sorption methods using agricultural waste materials are proposed as an efficient and cost-effective solution. For this research, activated sunflower material (ASM) was prepared from abundantly available agricultural sunflower waste residues and utilised to remove Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions from an aqueous medium. To begin, we examine variables that may have an impact on the adsorption process, such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) to find optimal conditions. Maximum removal efficiency was found at a pH of 5, contact time of 180 min, and initial concentration of 50 mg/L for Pb2+ and 150 mg/L for Cu2+. Additionally, adsorbent dose differed by element, for Cu2+ it was 200 mg, whilst for Pb2+ it was 124 mg. Features of activated carbon such as morphology, elemental composition, textural properties, and surface functionalities were characterised using SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR, and XPS. The adsorption equilibrium data were analysed by Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. It was found that the obtained results for Pb2+ adsorption were better described with the Freundlich isotherm model. Maximum adsorption capacities for Pb2+ and Cu2+ were 91.8 mg/g and 20.5 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, kinetic studies confirmed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model for Pb2+, but for Cu2+ all applied kinetic models fitted experimental data with the same values of the correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.99). After comprehensive analysis using the methods mentioned above, ASM was tested for the removal of Cu2+ from mining wastewater sample, and the obtained removal efficiency was 98.6% ± 2.0%. The results of desorption experiments conducted, confirm that ASM has good potential to be reused for the purpose of removing Cu2+ from wastewater.

AB  - In the last few decades, aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) have become a point of interest to many researchers and scholars from different disciplines around the world. Due to its attractive properties, AlN has been successfully used in various applications, starting from advanced ceramics materials, additive for grain size control in micro-alloyed steels, through optoelectronics and microelectronics, and finally to semiconductors. On the other hand, BN has broad applications in various fields, such as 2D material, lubricant material, superhard and semiconductor material as well as many others. This study focuses on the mixed AlN/BN compounds, in particular, boron-rich AlN and aluminum-rich BN systems, thus having the entire range of AlN/BN compositions. The special focus was on structural properties investigated using the hybrid B3LYP method. Important structural properties were investigated to offer novel technological and industrial applications of mixed AlN/BN materials.

AB  - In this study, nanochitosan dots (ChiDs) were synthesized using gamma rays and encapsulated in bacterial cellulose (BC) polymer matrix for antibiofilm potential in photodynamic therapy. The composites were analyzed for structural changes using SEM, AFM, FTIR, XRD, EPR, and porosity measurements. Additionally, ChiD release was assessed. The results showed that the chemical composition remained unaltered, but ChiD agglomerates embedded in BC changed shape (1.5–2.5 µm). Bacterial cellulose fibers became deformed and interconnected, with increased surface roughness and porosity and decreased crystallinity. No singlet oxygen formation was observed, and the total amount of released ChiD was up to 16.10%. Antibiofilm activity was higher under green light, with reductions ranging from 48 to 57% under blue light and 78 to 85% under green light. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive strain. The new photoactive composite hydrogels show promising potential for combating biofilm-related infections.

AB  - Hafnium carbide (HfC) is a refractory compound known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. This compound has gained significant attention in materials science and engineering due to its high melting point, extreme hardness, and excellent thermal stability. This study presents crystal structure prediction via energy landscape explorations of pristine hafnium carbide supplemented by data mining. Apart from the well-known equilibrium rock salt phase, we predict eight new polymorphs of HfC. The predicted HfC phases appear in the energy landscape with known structure types such as the WC type, NiAs type, 5-5 type, sphalerite (ZnS) type, TlI type, and CsCl type; in addition, we predict two new structure types denoted as ortho_HfC and HfC_polytype, respectively. Moreover, we have investigated the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of hafnium carbide at the DFT level of computation, which opens diverse applications in various technological domains.

AB  - LaFSe and LaFS materials have shown great potential for various optoelectronic applications, such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. Mixed LaFSe/LaFS compounds have been synthesized through high-temperature experiments. The introduction of sulfur into LaFSe causes distortion in the crystal lattice, leading to changes in the unit cell. A new algorithm is presented that keeps the symmetries of the mixed LaFSe/LaFS phases, and it is combined with ab initio structure optimization in order to efficiently generate and compute models for solid solution-type compounds. There is good agreement between experimental and theoretical data, and additional predicted structures under extreme conditions in various lanthanoid fluoride selenides/sulfides have been introduced. The substitution of selenium for sulfur within the LaFSe lattice can result in some unusual electronic properties, including changes in the size of the band gap, the character of the gap, and the electronic structure of the material.

AB  - Since their discovery, iron and hydrogen have been two of the most interesting elements in scientific research, with a variety of known and postulated compounds and applications. Of special interest in materials engineering is the stability of such materials, where hydrogen embrittlement has gained particular importance in recent years. Here, we present the results for the Fe-H system. In the past, most of the work on iron hydrides has been focused on hydrogen-rich compounds since they have a variety of interesting properties at extreme conditions (e.g. superconductivity). However, we present the first atomistic study of an iron-rich Fe4H compound which has been predicted using a combination of data mining and quantum mechanical calculations. Novel structures have been discovered in the Fe4H chemical system for possible experimental synthesis at the atomistic level.

abstract = "Since their discovery, iron and hydrogen have been two of the most interesting elements in scientific research, with a variety of known and postulated compounds and applications. Of special interest in materials engineering is the stability of such materials, where hydrogen embrittlement has gained particular importance in recent years. Here, we present the results for the Fe-H system. In the past, most of the work on iron hydrides has been focused on hydrogen-rich compounds since they have a variety of interesting properties at extreme conditions (e.g. superconductivity). However, we present the first atomistic study of an iron-rich Fe4H compound which has been predicted using a combination of data mining and quantum mechanical calculations. Novel structures have been discovered in the Fe4H chemical system for possible experimental synthesis at the atomistic level.",

AB  - The possibility of using waste tailings produced by flotation in the lead and zinc mine of Grot, Serbia as a potential source of secondary mineral raw materials was examined. The aim of the research was primarily to carry out a detailed characterization in order to determine the dominant minerals, and, for the first time, to trace the changes occurring in the unit cells of the minerals present in that deposit. There was also a need to determine the exact proportions of the present mineral phases for their further application and utilization as natural resources in environmental protection. Samples were taken from three different sections of tailings: the crest of dam (JKB), outlet pipe of the flotation facility (JOF) and hydrocyclone overflow (JHC). Granulometric separation was performed to facilitate the extraction of certain minerals from waste. The results showed that all samples mainly contained quartz, clinochlore, calcite, albite, pyrite and biotite, but their ratios in each sample varied significantly. After characterization, samples were separated into different fractions and their mineralogical compositions were determined. Depending on the fraction, the mineralogical compositions also changed. Mineralogy and geochemical analysis indicate that waste tailings can be used as a secondary mineral raw materials source applicable in various industries.

AB  - Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a material from the calcium phos-phate group with a crystal structure similar to hydroxyapatite. The removal process of lead and cadmium in aqueous solution using octacalcium phosphate material was investigated. OCP material was synthesized by the solution pre-cipitation method. The structural and phase properties of OCP before and after the removal process were determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Microstructural and semi-quantitative analysis of the material was investigated by  scanning  electron  microscopy  and  energy  dispersive  X-ray  spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).  Characteristic  bands  and  functional  group  determination  were revealed  using  the  Fourier-transform  infrared  spectroscopy  with  attenuated total  reflection  (FTIR-ATR).  As  target  pollutants,  Cd(II)  and  Pb(II)  were chosen in adsorption experiments. Results show that OCP in the first 10 min has a very fast removal rate for Pb(II); the equilibrium state was reached after 10 min with more than 98 % adsorption efficiency. Results for Cd(II), results showed  the  same  removal  rate  but  somewhat    lower  adsorption  efficiency, amounted to approximately 63 %.

AB  - Anorthite ceramics (CaAl2Si2O8) was obtained by slip casting of water suspension of kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) and CaCO3 as a source of CaO. A relative density of 87 % of the theoretical density was achieved after a 3-h-long sintering of green samples at 1200 °C. It was found that slip casting allows the fabrication of anorthite with relatively small pores (<8 μm) which was beneficial for achieving a high fracture strength of 129 MPa and good thermal shock resistance. For a quantitative measurement of thermal shock resistance, a critical temperature interval (ΔTc) was determined by a reduction in the mean fracture strength of at least 30 %. The experimentally determined ΔTc of 300 °C was higher than the value calculated by the equation assuming that the thermal stress created during quenching causes the fracture. It was found that the discrepancy between experimental and calculated values of ΔTc could be explained by an introduction of cracks of various sizes by indentation method and careful observation of crack growth initiation after quenching from various temperatures. It is believed that the reason for the discrepancy lies in the different nature of stress that was used in the theoretical calculation and the stress that acts during sample quenching.

AB  - Polimerne smole na bazi akrilata dobijene iz Bis-GMA (Bisfenol A glicidmetakrilat), koji je pogodan za fotopolimerizaciju, koriste se u stomatologiji za različite namene zbog lakoće nanošenja i mogućnosti da se utiče na njihova svojstva dodavanjem ojačanja različitog oblika i hemijskog sastava. Sintetisano je ojačanje u formi čestica na bazi dvostrukih slojevitih hidroksida magnezijuma i aluminijuma (MgAlLDH-Layered Double Hidroxides) nataloženih na silicijum dioksidu dobijenom iz ljuski pirinča. Kao podloge korišćene su metalna legura na bazi hroma i molibdena za primenu u stomatologiji i staklo u formi podloga za mikroskopske preparate. Adhezivna svojstva kompozita su bitna sa aspekta njihove primene. Adhezivna svojstva materijala su određena na osnovu merenja mikrotvrdoće kompozita i to primenom različitih opterećenja kako bi se procenio parametar adhezije koji pokazuje uticaj prevlake na podlogu. Upoređeno je kako se vezuje čista matrica od fotopolimerizujućeg akrilata sa podlogom od stomatološke legure sa vezivanjem za staklenu podlogu. Potom je upoređeno kako se vezuju kompozitni materijali na obe podloge. Adhezija je određena i na osnovu promene ugla kvašenja između kompozita i rezultati su upoređeni sa rezultatima mikroindentacije. Pokazalo se da dodatak kompozitnih čestica kao ojačanja u matricu od akrilata povećava adhezivna svojstva kompozita u odnosu na čistu matricu i da se ostvaruje bolja adhezija između kompozita i metalne podloge nego između kompozita i staklene podloge.
AB  - Polymer resins based on acrylates obtained from Bis-GMA (Bisphenol A glycide methacrylate), which is suitable for photopolymerization, are used in dentistry for various purposes due to the ease of application and the possibility to influence their properties by adding reinforcements of different shapes, crystal structure and chemical compositions. Reinforcement in the form of particles based on MgAlLDH (layered double hydroxide) deposited on silica obtained from rice husks on two substrates. A metal base and glass were used. The adhesive properties are important in order to see the possibility of using these materials in applications. In order to measure the adhesive properties of the material, the composite microhardness measurement method is used by applying different loads in order to evaluate the adhesion parameter that shows the effect of the coating on the substrate. It was compared to how a pure photopolymerizing acrylate matrix bonds with a chromium-based dental alloy substrate that is used in the production of different parts of dentures by bonding to a glass substrate. Then, it was compared how composite materials are bonded to both substrates. Adhesion was monitored through the change in wetting angle between the composites, and the results were compared with the results of microindentation. It was shown that the addition of composite particles increases the adhesive properties of the composite compared to the pure matrix and that better adhesion is achieved between the composite and the metal substrate than between the composite and the glass substrate.
