摘要
Lanthanide fluoride LnF(3) (Ln = La to Lu) nano-/microcrystals with multiform crystal structures (hexagonal and orthorhombic) and morphologies (separated elongated nanoparticles, aggregated nanoparticles, polyhedral microcrystals) were successfully synthesized by a facile, effective, and environmentally friendly hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the samples. The experimental results indicated that the use of NaBF4 is indispensable for obtaining LnF(3) crystal structures. Furthermore, the organic additive trisodium citrate (Cit(3-)) has an obvious impact on the morphologies of the products to some degree. The possible formation mechanisms for LnF(3) nano-/microcrystals are presented in detail. Additionally, we systematically investigated the luminescence properties of the LnF(3):EU3+ (Ln = La, Gd, and Lu) samples and found an efficient energy transfer from Gd3+ to EU3+ in GdF3:EU3+.
