Growth and Characterization of Single-Crystal Y₂O₃:Eu Nanobelts Prepared with a Simple Technique

Facile and Large-Scale Syntheses of Nanocrystal Rare Earth Metal–Organic Frameworks at Room Temperature and Their Photoluminescence Properties

“…Energy transfer between the ligands and the lanthanide trivalent ion improves the overall photoluminescent properties of MOFs, which have been extensively explored in materials science [27]. Furthermore, aromatic polycarboxylate ligands may be good candidates for building multifunctional lanthanide-containing MOFs [28][29][30][31]. However, the large-scale synthesis of structuredefined lanthanide-containing NMOFs for industrial purposes has not been paid sufficient attention.…”

Nano-sized Y2O3:Eu3+ hollow spheres with enhanced photoluminescence properties

“…Therefore, many strategies have been developed to synthesize Y 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ materials including coprecipitation, combustion, spray pyrolysis, sol-gel and hydrothermal method [5][6][7][8][9]. Moreover the morphologies of this material were also tailored to manipulate its optical performance such as Y 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ film prepared through direct oxidation, nanobelts synthesized by solvothermal process and hexagonal microprisms fabricated through microwave-assisted method [10][11][12]. However, these methods generally involved tedious process, rigid condition and hazardous starting material, which are unfavorable for scale up.…”

Facile synthesis, characterization, formation mechanism and photoluminescence property of Eu2O3 nanorods

“…They may be of great application value for their novel properties induced by such reduced dimensionalities [4], and can be used as good building blocks for the fabricating 2-D or 3-D ordered structures. Various 1-D nanostructures such as nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes have been successfully synthesized by us and other research groups [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
