Impact of synthesis methods and coordination agents on the structure, morphology, and luminescent efficiency of triple-doped Nd3+, Yb3+ and Tm3+ yttrium orthovanadate
The research and study of novel fluorescent nanomaterials based on lanthanide ions that can be excited by infrared radiation is essential for the development of new technologies in the biomedicine, photonics, and optoelectronics fields. The present work focuses on the structural and morphological study of new orthovanadate Y0.9Nd0.02Tm0.03Yb0.05VO4 and Y0.9Nd0.02Tm0.05Yb0.03VO4 samples. Their optical properties were also analyzed, including the evaluation of up-conversion (UC) and down-conversion (DS) mechanisms under infrared excitation at 980 nm and 808 nm. The samples were synthesized using both the sol-gel method and hydrothermal synthesis with urea and citric acid (CA) or maleic acid (MA) addition. These samples were reacted with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) to obtain silica-coated samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the tetragonal symmetry compatible with a zircon-type structure of the diffraction pattern. FTIR spectra revealed bands corresponding to the several vibrational modes of VO43− groups and the presence of silica in the TEOS-treated samples. The synthesis method and the addition of CA or MA influenced the agglomeration, shape and morphology of the particles, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopy images. Photoluminescence (PL) studies of investigated samples after being excited with infrared radiation provided a detailed description of the energy transfer mechanisms involved in the DS and UC processes. These processes are related to the synthesis method used to obtain them and to the chelating agents added. Excitation of the samples at 808 nm generates DS processes and PL spectra with bright emission bands corresponding to electronic transitions of the Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions, while excitation at 808 and 980 nm gives rise to UC processes and PL spectra showing intense blue, red and NIR-I emission bands of Tm3+ ions, along with green and red emissions of Nd3+ ions.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
