The $Y_{1-x}(P_{1-y-z}Nb_yV_z)O_4:Eu_x$ blue and red emitting phosphors were prepared by the combinatorial chemistry method. The combinatorial library was designed to investigate the luminescence of the $Y_{1-x}(P_{1-y-z}Nb_yV_z)O_4:Eu_x$ phosphors under 254 nm and 147 nm excitations. In addition, the crystallinity and morphology of phosphors were checked by XRD and SEM. Based on the results from the combinatorial screenings, luminescent properties of phosphors are strongly dependent on the concentration of doping metal ions. It was found that a new phosphor $Y_{0.88}(P_{0.92}Nb_{0.05}V_{0.03})O_4:Eu_{0.12}$ shows excellent luminescent efficiency comparing to the $Y_{0.88}PO_4:Eu_{0.12}$ red phosphor.

L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is one of the biological active forms of folate, which is widely used as a nutraceutical. However, low yield and serious pollution associated with the chemical synthesis of 5-MTHF hampers its sustainable supply. In this study, 5-MTHF production was improved by engineering the 5-MTHF biosynthesis pathway and NADPH supply in Lactococcus lactis for developing a green and sustainable biosynthesis approach. Specifically, overexpressing the key rate-limiting enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase led to intracellular 5-MTHF accumulation, reaching 18 ㎍/l. Next, 5-MTHF synthesis was further enhanced by combinatorial overexpression of 5-MTHF synthesis pathway enzymes with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, resulting in 1.7-fold enhancement. The folate supply pathway was strengthened by expressing folE encoding GTP cyclohydrolase I, which increased 5-MTHF production 2.4-fold to 72 ㎍/l. Furthermore, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was overexpressed to improve the redox cofactor NADPH supply for 5-MTHF biosynthesis, which led to a 60% increase in intracellular NADPH and a 35% increase in 5-MTHF production (97 ㎍/l). To reduce formation of the by-product 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, overexpression of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase converted 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methyltetrahydrofolate, which enhanced the 5-MTHF titer to 132 ㎍/l. Finally, combinatorial addition of folate precursors to the fermentation medium boosted 5-MTHF production, reaching 300 ㎍/l. To the best of our knowledge, this titer is the highest achieved by L. lactis. This study lays the foundation for further engineering of L. lactis for efficient 5-MTHF biosynthesis.

We have synthesized some phosphors in the system $CaO-Y_2$$O_3$-$Al_2$$O_3$by combinatorial polymerized-complex method. Composition and synthetic temperature of phosphors in the library was screened from the emission intensities of individual samples under VUV excitation. In $Tb^{ 3＋}$-activated $CaO-Y_2$$O_3$-$Al_2$$O_3$, green phosphors showing good intensity were found to be X$O_3$$O_{7}$, CaYA1O$_4$, YA1O$_3$, $Y_3$$Al_{5}$$O_{12}$, $Y_4$$A1_2$$O_{9}$ .

Single phases of multi-component oxides films, ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17, could be synthesized by using the combinatorial approach through surface sol-gel route, coating the appropriate mole ratio of 100 mM zirconium butoxide, tantalum butoxide and titanium butoxide precursors on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrate, following pyrolysis at 450 oC, and annealing them at 770 oC. Both the films and bulks of ZrTiO4 and Ta2Zr6O17 showed very stable dielectric properties in temperature range, ?140 to 60 oC, and frequency range, 100 Hz to 1 MHz, promising their applications in wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The dielectric constants of the films were lower and a little more dependent on frequency than those of the bulks. The reduction of dielectric property in the film was mainly due to the interfacial effects that worked as series and parallel-connected capacitances toward the substantial film capacitance.
