An ingenious method was developed to grow metal–organic frameworks on the surface of UCNPs, resulting in the UCMOFs@D@5 nanosystem for bioimaging and pH-responsive dual-drug delivery.
A series of Bi ,Eu -doped BaMoO phosphors was synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of the phosphors were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Three different particle morphologies were detected in the SEM observation. The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) results indicated that the solubility of Bi in spherical or rugby-like BaMoO particles was very low and the excess Bi element was cumulated in the irregular particles. Characteristic emissions of Eu ions ( D → F ; J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) were observed under excitation in ultraviolet (UV) light, with the most intense transition being the D → F transition. Energy transfer from MoO and Bi to Eu can be readily achieved. Red emission intensity of Eu was enhanced by a factor of two by co-doping with a small amount of Bi . Optical properties as a function of Bi content were studied and the optimum Bi content in BaMoO nanocrystals was determined to be 0.4 mol%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
