Enhancing luminous flux and color rendering of laser-excited YAG:Ce³⁺ single crystal phosphor plate via surface roughening and low-temperature sintering a CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ phosphor-in-borate glass

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce³⁺) single crystal phosphor (SCP) exhibits high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and excellent thermal conductivity and stability. Such properties are promising in high-power laser-excited white lighting applications. However, YAG:Ce³⁺ SCP usually shows...

A novel capsule-based selfrecovery system with a chloride ion trigger

Steel is prone to corrosion induced by chloride ions, which is a serious threat to reinforced concrete structures, especially in marine environments. In this work, we report a novel capsule-based selfrecovery system that utilizes chloride ions as a trigger. These capsules, which are functionalized via a smart response to chloride ions, are...
