Prof. Dr. Danilo Mustafa and Collaborators Publish Distinguished Work Featured as the Cover of ACS Omega Journal
the work of Prof. Danilo and collaborators.
The article highlights an innovative approach to developing luminescent hybrid materials using **Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs)** doped with Eu³⁺ ions and intercalated with photoluminescent ligands based on **β-diketones (DBM)**. These materials have gained increasing attention due to their structural versatility and potential applications in **optoelectronics**, **sensors**, and **photonics technologies**.
The study explores the **memory effect** as a strategy to create advanced hybrid materials by merging control of **Eu³⁺ ion environments** with photoluminescent ligands.
Applications include:
Optoelectronics: high-efficiency light-emitting devices; Chemical sensors: luminescent substance detection; Photonics: light manipulation for diverse technologies.
