Multiple irradiation triggered the formation of luminescent LaVO4: Ln3+nanorods and in cellulose gels†
Abstract
A systematic study of the preparation of lanthanide (Eu3+, Tb3+, Sm3+ and Dy3+) phosphors was carried out and luminescent materials (red, green, orange-red and blue-yellow) were successfully achieved at low temperature (70 °C) in 45 min, using simultaneous supersonic and microwave irradiation. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic images indicate that one-dimensional
