Preparation and upconversion luminescence of YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>:Er<Subscript>3+</Subscript>, Yb<Subscript>3+</Subscript>

YVO₄:Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ with varying Yb³⁺ concentrations were prepared by a precipitation method. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that all the samples have a tetragonal zircon structure; the calculated average crystallite sizes are in the range of 14–22 nm. The lattice constants and cell volume of the samples decrease slightly with the increase in Yb³⁺ concentration. The upconversion luminescence spectra of all the samples were studied under 980 nm laser excitation. The strong green emission is observed, which is attributed to the ²H_11/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, and the red emission peaks in 650–675 nm can be ignored. The emission intensity for the sample depends on the Yb³⁺ concentration. These results reveal that the upconversion processes of YVO₄:Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ are related to the structure and the doping Yb³⁺ concentration of the sample.     

Preparation and upconversion luminescence cell imaging of O-carboxymethyl chitosan-functionalized NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+/Er3+ nanoparticles

Upconversion luminescence nanoparticles (UCNPs) have shown promising applications in biomedical fields as luminescent probes because of their excellent advantages such as single excitation with multicolor emission, low autofluorescence, and deep penetration. But the biological applications of such nanomaterials are still restricted due to the unfavorable surface properties. In this work, we develop a facile one-pot hydrothermal route to obtain O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC)-wrapped NaYF₄: Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ /Er³⁺ red UCNPs which have been used for targeted cell luminescence imaging directly and efficiently. The successful coating of the UCNPs by OCMC has been confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been used to characterize the size, composition and emission color of the samples, respectively. Due to the good biocompatibility, water-solubility, and strong UC luminescence, these hydrophilic nanocrystals will open up new avenues in further bioapplications.     

Synthesis and characterization of red-emitting Yb/Ho-CaSiO3 upconversion phosphors

Host material plays an important role in obtaining efficient photon upconversion and downshifting luminescence. Generally, fluoride and oxyfluoride glasses-based materials are used for high-efficiency photon upconversion. However, the poor thermal stability of fluoride glasses and the toxicity of fluorine ions limit their applications. In this report, Yb/Ho-doped CaSiO₃ wollastonite phosphors have been demonstrated as efficient red-emitting upconversion phosphors. The phosphors have been synthesized by microwave hydrothermal process followed by heat treatment at 1050 ?°C in the air environment. 2M phase of the β-wollastonite has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy while the existence of the Yb and Ho dopants in the CaSiO₃ lattice has been confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The synthesized samples showed strong red upconversion emission centered at 662 ?nm and near-infrared downshifting emissions at 2016 ?nm upon 980 ?nm excitation. The emissions were found to depend significantly on the Ho concentration. Temporal evolution of the main emission bands was investigated to show that the energy transfer upconversion from Yb to Ho ions was responsible for the efficient upconversion and downshifting phenomenon.

Mn-ion-enhanced red spectral emission from yttrium aluminum garnet doped cerium phosphor

Mnions were co-doped in yttrium aluminum garnet doped cerium(YAG:Ce) phosphors as a co-activator and host lattice element using the co-precipitation method.These ions broadened the emission spectra of the pure YAG:Ce phosphor,which is caused by the 2E-4A2,5E-5T2 or 1T2-5T2 transition.From our X-ray diffraction results,we observed that Ce3+(1.032 ) was substituted at the Y3+(0.900 ) site,and Mn4+(0.538 ) and Mn3+(0.67 ) were substituted at the Al3+(0.535 ) site.The chromaticity color co-ordinates of YAG:Ce0.06 is(0.203,0.167),and the indices of YAG:Ce0.06,Mn0.04 and YAG:Ce0.06,Mn0.08 are(0.249,0.181) and(0.233,0.194),respectively.The manganese co-doped yttrium aluminum garnet doped cerium blended with the YAG:Ce phosphor showed improved white light emission.     

Effects of Yb^3＋ codoping on visible and near infrared emissions of Er^3＋-Yb^3＋ codoped Al2O3 powders by the sol-gel method

The 0.1 mol% Er^3＋ and 0-2 mol% Yb^3＋ codoped Al2O3 powders were prepared by the sol-gel method, and the phase structure, including only two crystalline types of doped Al2O3 phase, γ-（Al,Er, Yb）2O3 and θ-（Al,Er, Yb）2O3, was detected at the sintering temperature of 1000℃. The visible and near infrared emissions properties depended strongly on the Yb^3＋ codoping, and the corresponding maximal peak intensities centered at about 523, 545, 660 and 1533 nm were obtained respectively for the 0.1 mol% Er^3＋ and 0.5 mol% Yb^3＋ codoped Al2O3 powders, which were composed of θ-（Al,Er,Yb）2O3 and a small amount of γ-（Al,Er, Yb）2O3 phases. The two-photon absorption process was responsible for the visible up-conversion emissions, and the one-photon absorption process was involved in the near infrared emissions of the Er^3＋-yb^3＋ codoped Al2O3 powders.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Mn4+-dopant Ca14Zn6Ga10−xAlxO35 solid solution

Mn~(4+)-activated oxide phosphors,owing to their desirable spectral features,eco-friendly and low cost,are emerging as a new class of non-rare-earth red phosphors for warm white LEDs.However,these phosphors possess low photoluminescence quantum efficiency excited by blue chip currently.Herein we report an isostructural solid solution of Ca_(14)Zn_6Ga_(10-x)Al_xO_(35):0.15Mn~(4+)(0≤x≤10)synthesized by a traditional solidstate reaction route.The microstructure and luminescent performance of this red-emitting phosphor are investigated in detail with the aids of X-ray diffraction,diffuse reflection spectra,photoluminescence spectra/decay/QE,and temperature-dependent PL/QE measurements.Blue shift of energy peaks of~4A_2→~4T_1and~4A_2→~4T_2transition is illustrated by the Tanabe–Sugano diagram and the configurational coordinate diagram.The crystal field strength(Dq)and the Racah parameters(B and C)are carefully calculated to estimate the nephelauxetic effectβrespectively.Particularly we achieve external and internal quantum efficiencies as high as26.1%and 40.3%for Ca_(14)Zn_6Ga_6Al_4O_(35):0.15Mn~(4+)excited by 466 nm,the highest one ever reported in Mn~(4+)activated oxide phosphors under the similar condition.     

Up-conversion luminescence of Er^3＋ doped and Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped YTaO4

The synthesis and up-conversion luminescent properties of YTaO4：Er^3＋ and YTaO4：Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ are reported for the first time. According to the measurement results of up-conversion spectra, Yb^3＋ co-doping can remarkably enhance the green （^2H11/2/^4S3/2→^4I15/2） and red （^4F9/2→^4I15/2） emissions, but depress the infrared emission （^4I9/2→^4I15/2）. With the increase of the Yb^3＋ concentration, the intensity of green emission increases, after that, when the Yb^3＋ concentration increases continuously, the intensity of green emission decreases, while those of the red and infrared emissions increase and decrease alternately. In addition, the up-conversion mechanisms of Er^3＋ doped and Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped YTaO4 are also discussed. It is found that the transform of up-conversion mechanism from two-step energy transfer to cooperating sensitization takes place when Yb^3＋ concentration is increased up to 12 mol%. With the further increase of Yb^3＋ concentration, the energy-back-transfer gradually becomes the dominant up-conversion mechanism, which results in the quenching of the green emission and slight increasing of the red and infrared emissions.

Internal energy transfer phenomenon and light-emission properties of γ-LiAlO2 phosphor doped with Mn2+

γ-LiAlO₂:Mn²⁺ phosphor was synthesized using the cellulose-citric acid sol-gel method, and its light emission and energy transfer properties were investigated. Excitation and emission spectrum analysis revealed a decrease in intensity of the spectrum as the amount of Mn²⁺ doping increased. Blasse’s equation determined the maximum distance for energy transfer between Mn²⁺ ions as 4.3142 nm. Dexter’s theory verifies that the mechanism of energy transfer between Mn²⁺ ions conforms to an electric dipole and electric quadrupole interaction.

Structure and electrochemical properties of LiLaxMn2-xO4 cathode material by the ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method

Powders of spinel LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ were successfully synthesized by the ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel (UASG) method. The structure and properties of LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). XRD results show that the La³⁺ can partially replace Mn³⁺ in the spinel and the doped materials with La³⁺ have a larger lattice constant compared with pristine LiMn₂O₄. FT-IR indicates that the absorption peak of Mn³⁺−O and Mn⁴⁺− O bonds has a red and blue shift with the increase of doping lanthanum in LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄, respectively. The charge-discharge test exhibits that the initial discharge capacity of LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ drops off, and the capacity retention increases gradually at C/5 discharge rate with the increase of doping lanthanum, and LiLa_0.01Mn_1.99O₄ has a higher discharge capacity and a better cycling performance at 1C discharge rate. CV reveals that the doping La³⁺ is beneficial to the reversible extraction and intercalation of Li⁺ ions.     

Soft chemical synthesis and luminescence properties of red long-lasting phosphors Y2O2S:Sm3+

Sm³⁺-activated Y₂O₂S red phosphors were prepared by the combustion method and microemulsion method at the first time. X-ray characterization and electron diffraction show that, Y₂O₂S:Sm³⁺, Ti⁴⁺, Mg²⁺ samples prepared by these two methods are pure hexagonal crystals in structure with a trivial change due to dopants. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show that the product presents an almond-like sheet in uniform size. Under the excitation of 269 nm ultraviolet light, Y₂O₂S:Sm³⁺ samples fabricated by these two methods exhibit three main groups of red emission lines located at 564, 604, and 656 nm, respectively, which are attributed to the transitions of 4G_5/2 →6H_5/2, 4G_5/2 →6H_7/2, 4G_5/2 →6H_9/2, respectively. The samples prepared by microemulsion are seven times higher in fluorescent emission intensity and half time longer in afterglow time than that prepared by combustion.     

Microstructure investigation and multicolor upconversion in Yb~(3+)/Ln~(3+)(Ln=Er/Tm/Ho) ions doped α-Sialon

Yb~(3+)/Ln~(3+)(Ln=Er/Tm/Ho)-α-sialon ceramics were fabricated by hot press sintering technique.Their microstructure and luminescent properties were studied by XRD,EDS,HRTEM and photoluminescence measurements.The results showed that the sintered ceramics consisted ofα-Sialon with a trace amount ofβ-Sialon phase.The frequency upconversion and downconversion properties of Yb~(3+)/Ln~(3+)(Ln=Er/Tm/Ho)-α-Sialon ceramics were investigated under 980 nm low-power excitation.The different concentrations of Yb~(3+)/Ln~(3+)(Ln=Er/Tm/Ho)produced multicolor emissions characteristics of each Ln~(3+)ion as a result of the energy transfer from Yb~(3+)to Er~(3+),Tm~(3+)and Ho~(3+)ions.The EDS spectra measurements and mappings showed that the Ln~(3+)ions were well incorporated in theα-Sialon matrix.Temporal evolution of the emission decay behavior has been investigated to understand the energy transfer mechanism.
