Influence of precipitants on morphology and sinterability of Nd3+:Lu2O3 nanopowders by a wet chemical processing

Glycine-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of single-crystalline LaF3:Eu3+ hexagonal nanoplates

“…Thus, further explorations of well-controlled shapes and novel structures of inorganic rare earth luminescent materials have become important research subjects faced by chemists who focus on the synthesis of inorganic compounds. In the past decades, great efforts have been devoted to the designing of inorganic rare earth luminescent nanomaterials with well-defined sizes, shapes, and crystallinity [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of fully crystalline Nd:Lu2O3 nanopowders under a low temperature

“…Basic lutetium carbonate precursor was synthesized by a modified precipitation (NH4OH to NH4HCO3 with 1:4 molar ratio) method based on our previous work [12,15,16]. As-prepared colloidal solution was divided into 3 parts, and the 10 M NaOH solution was used as the mineralizer to adjust the final pH values (pH 10, 12, 14, respectively).…”

Fabrication and characterization of Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanopowders and X-ray films

“…The morphology of nanocrystalline particles strongly depends on the precipitant type [25]. Lu 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ (C Eu = 5 at.%) powders obtained through different wet chemical routes demonstrate different morphological features after calcination.…”
