Chemical co-precipitation synthesis of luminescent BixY1−xVO4: RE (RE=Eu3+, Dy3+, Er3+) phosphors from hybrid precursors

Exalted photocatalytic activity of tetragonal BiVO4by Er3+doping through a luminescence cooperative mechanism

“…This tetragonal stabilization by lanthanide doping has been similarly described by other authors. 18,19 Since the tetragonal phase was denoted as the low temperature structure of BiVO 4 , the occurrence of such doping ions in the BiVO 4 structure seems to retard the monoclinic appearance. 20 As can be observed from XRD pattern evolution, this effect is evident for Er 3+ contents higher than 3 at%.…”

Predicting metal-to-metal charge transfer in closed-shell transition metal oxides doped with Bi3+ or Pb2+

“…Correspondingly, a Bi-related signal appears in the near UV range in the excitation spectra. The energy position of the maximum of this Bi-related band has been determined in AVO 4 :Bi 3+ ;RE 3+ (A = La, Gd, Y;RE = Eu, Dy, Er, Sm) [16,19,[31][32][33] [37] and CaTiO 3 :Bi 3+ ;Pr 3+ [38,39]. For all, it was found that these energy positions obeyed to Eq.…”

Effects of the homogeneous Bi3+ doping process on photoluminescence properties of YVO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ nanophosphor

“…Bi 3+ acts as a sensitizer of Eu 3+ through energy transfer from Bi 3+ to Eu 3+ in many systems such as YVO 4 :Bi 3+ ,Eu 3+ [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], Y 2 O 3 :Bi 3+ ,Eu 3+ [13][14][15][16] and so on. YVO 4 :Bi 3+ ,Eu 3+ under the excitation of near-UV-light emits red through the charge transfer (CT) transition from Bi 3+ 6s to V 5+ 3d, followed by the energy transfer to Eu 3+ [17,18].…”
