Abstract
Rare-earth spherical particles (RE-SPs) have garnered significant interest as nanomaterials for biomedical applications due to their high luminescence intensity and tunable luminescence lifetimes. In this study, Tb3+-doped Gd2SiO5@SiO2 (GSO: Tb3+@SiO2) core-shell spherical particles were prepared by coprecipitation and Stöber methods. Firstly, the phase transitions and core-shell structures of GSO:Tb3+@SiO2 SPs during preparation were discussed. The obtained core-shell SPs exhibited excellent dispersion and a well-defined spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 250 to 350 nm. Secondly, the luminescence properties of GSO:Tb3+@SiO2 SPs were investigated, delving into the concentration quenching mechanisms of Tb3+ ion and the energy transfer (ET) from Gd3+ to Tb3+ in SPs. Thirdly, the potential biomedical applications of the GSO:Tb3+@SiO2 SPs were evaluated by examining properties such as radioluminescence, luminescence stability and surface charge. The results of present work indicates that the obtained novel spherical particles material with distinct core-shell structures has potential application in X-ray induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT).
