The soft template method was used to synthesize the ordered porous ZnO precursor and with 1,10-phenanthroline as an organic ligand, Eu 3+ as a luminescent center ion, and NH 4 F as a fluorine source, a kind of much uniform bitter melon-like ordered porous fluorinated Eu 3+ −phenanthroline/ZnO composite was finally prepared through the hydrothermal method. The average length of the bitter melon-like particles was 0.7−1.0 μm, and its average diameter was 300−400 nm, which had a lot of ordered mesoporous dispersed on the surfaces. The prepared materials showed strong yellow and blue light emission under 394 and 275 nm excitation, respectively. The optimum synthesized conditions were determined according to the synthesis parameter of the sample with the strongest emission peak intensity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
