Nature-inspired compositional control of transition-metal-doped ammoniotinsleyite and spheniscidite particles for design of color hue

Abstract

Leucophosphite-group ammoniotinsleyite and spheniscidite particles were prepared via a hydrothermal route. The color hues of the particles were controlled by transition-metal doping, i.e., with Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+ ions.
