Abstract:In this study, upconversion
nanoparticles (UCNPs) with a flower-like
morphology were prepared using a urea coprecipitation method. A ternary
photocatalyst was first prepared using a solvothermal method involving
the use of titanium oxide (TiO

), hexagonal boron nitride
(h-BN), and UCNPs (Y

) as raw materials. The surface morphology, crystal
structure, and functional gro… Show more
