Enabling Efficient NIR‐III Emission Under 808 nm Excitation Through Tm 3+ to Ho 3+ Energy Transfer
ABSTRACT Near‐infrared‐III (NIR‐III, 1700–2500 nm) phosphors are promising for deep‐tissue imaging and long‐wavelength photonic applications but are limited by weak excitation compatibility, low efficiency, and severe thermal quenching. Here, we report a Y 2 GeO 5 :Tm 3+ ,Ho 3+ p...

The Plasticizing Effect of Choline Dihydrogencitrate on Starch-Based Films
For the first time, choline dihydrogencitrate salt (CCT) was tested as a sole plasticizer for starch-based materials. The effect of CCT content on the physicochemical properties of the obtained films was evaluated. The FTIR and XRD measurements revealed that CCT exhibited the abi...
