Uniform Lu 2 (C 4 H 4 O 6 ) 3 ·6H 2 O cauliflower-like microspheres have been synthesized via a direct precipitation method at room temperature, without any templates and catalysts. The solvent-dependent morphological evolution and the formation mechanism of the Lu 2 (C 4 H 4 O 6 ) 3 ·6H 2 O cauliflower-like microspheres were investigated in detail. Furthermore, Eu 3+ /Tb 3+ -doped Lu 2 O 3 inherited their parents' morphology were obtained through a direct annealing process. The Lu 2 (C 4 H 4 O 6 ) 3 ·6H 2 O:Eu 3+ , Lu 2 O 3 :Eu 3+ exhibit strong red emission corresponding to the 5 D 0 - 7 F j transition of the Eu 3+ ions. The Lu 2 (C 4 H 4 O 6 ) 3 ·6H 2 O:Tb 3+ , Lu 2 O 3 :Tb 3+ exhibit strong green emission corresponding to the 5 D 4 - 7 F j transition of the Tb 3+ ions under UV light excitation. The samples may have potential applications in the fields, such as light-emitting phosphors, advanced flat panel displays, or biological labeling.

Long afterglow materials feature long-lasting luminescence after the cessation of the excitation source. The rising demand for afterglow materials in many applications such as deep tissue imaging, ultrasensitive sensing, and radiation detection has led to extensive research on X-ray-activated afterglow systems. However, the progress in this field is constrained by the limitation and shortage of radiation-induced afterglow materials. Herein, a newly X-ray-excited long afterglow phosphor CaZnOS:Tb 3+ has been developed by using lithium-assisted synthetic protocol. Afterglow properties of Tb 3+ -doped CaZnOS microcrystals are systematically investigated by considering the dopant concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time, reaction atmosphere, and gas flow . As the gas flow of argon atmosphere increases from 0.05 to 0.5 L/min, the CaZnOS:Tb 3+ microcrystals exhibit a distinct change in trap depth from 0.59 to 0.75 eV, corresponding to a gradual increase in afterglow time. Together with thermoluminescence analysis, the long afterglow mechanism is also discussed in this work. These results highlight the importance of reaction gas flow for the efficient regulation of traps and defects in afterglow materials. Furthermore, they provide a fundamental design principle and new route for the creation of lanthanide-doped CaZnOS afterglow phosphors.

Rare earth doped 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 (C12A7) glass-ceramics are one of attractive photonic materials due to their high transparency, high luminescent efficiency and eco-friendly nature. A series of C12A7 glasses with different Tb 3+ doping concentrations was prepared by aerodynamic levitation method. The C12A7:Tb glass-ceramics were obtained via in-situ growth from the glasses with the identical chemical composition at 800 °C. The microstructure observation demonstrates that the elemental distributions of Ca and Al are homogeneous in the glass-ceramics and the grain size of C12A7 is 4–70 nm. The in-line transmittance of glass-ceramics reaches as high as 82% at 1500 nm. The emission spectra of the C12A7:Tb glass-ceramics present characteristic Tb 3+ emission peaks at 486 nm ( 5 D 4 → 7 F 6 ), 541 nm ( 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 ), 585 nm ( 5 D 4 → 7 F 4 ) and 621 nm ( 5 D 4 → 7 F 3 ). The photoluminescence lifetime of C12A7:0.3%Tb glass-ceramic is 1.9 ms. Compared with the emission intensity of the glasses, that of the glass-ceramics increases due to the reducing in concentration of oxygen vacancy associated with network forming (NWF) cations. The highly transparent C12A7:Tb glass-ceramics may be a promising candidate for green light source in solid state lighting.

Monodisperse Tb-doped NaCeF4 nanocrystals were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The morphology, and room temperature and temperature dependent luminescent properties were investigated. Excited at 254 nm, the emissions of Ce3+ at 270–370 nm and those of Tb3+ at 475–700 nm can be observed. The strongest visible emission was observed in NaCeF4:20 at% Tb with a quantum yield of 49%. The efficiency of energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ increases with the Tb3+ doping concentration and reaches 95% for NaCeF4:30 at% Tb. The ratio of Tb3+ emission to Ce3+ emission is sensitive to temperature, and the relative sensitivity was calculated to be 1.0% °C−1 at 60 °C. The mechanisms for this thermal dependence were analyzed in terms of non-radiative relaxation and energy migration.

A modulated structure with symmetrical characteristic higher than three-dimensional is a fascinating crystallographic type, and it is randomly encountered by researchers. Herein, we prepared 0.1 mm level single crystals of Na3La(VO4)2 and determined its structure to be a (3 + 1)-dimensional modulated structure using the X-ray diffraction analysis method for single crystals. Its super space group was determined to be Pca21(0β0)000. On the other hand, we introduced Tb3+ into the Na3La(VO4)2 host lattice to fabricate phosphors Na3La1-x(VO4)2:xTb3+ and studied their photoluminescence properties. Interestingly, for the strong absorption of the Na3La(VO4)2 host lattice in the range of 200–400 nm, the traditional 330–385 nm light is unable to efficiently excite Tb3+ ions in the Na3La(VO4)2 host to generate luminescence of Tb3+. Instead, Na3La1–x(VO4)2:xTb3+ is suitable to be excited by 487 nm to generate emitting light at 543, 584, and 622 nm, due to Tb3+ characteristic 4f → 4f transitions of 5D4 → 7FJ (J = 5, 4, 3). Hence, the Tb3+-doped Na3La(VO4)2 phosphors have potential applications for white-light-emitting diodes.

Doping of TiO2 with metals and/or non-metals is an effective strategy for increasing its inherently low photocatalytic activity. In this work, TiO2 nanocrystals co-doped with nitrogen (N) and terbium (Tb) were prepared using a controlled hydrolysis method with water generated in situ via esterification of acetic acid and n-butanol. Compared with undoped TiO2 nanocrystals, co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals exhibited enhanced visible-light absorption and improved charge-carrier separation efficiency due to the synergy between N and Tb. In addition, they also had larger surface area and stronger interaction with the azo-dye acid orange 7 (AO7) compared with undoped TiO2 nanocrystals, giving rise to catalytic activity which was ca. 2× better than undoped TiO2 nanocrystals for photocatalytic degradation of AO7 under visible-light irradiation. For the given N loading, the optimal Tb doping for co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals to achieve the maximum activity was 1%, at which complete decolorization of AO7 was achieved after 5 hours of visible-light irradiation.

Single phase of Tb-doped YPO 4 phosphors with xenotime structure were successfully synthesized via a polyacrylamide gel at different annealing temperatures (650–1050 °C). The crystal structure, thermal behavior and optical properties of the as-synthesized samples were investigated by XRD , TG-DTA, FT-IR, PL, and XPS . The effects of heat treatment on the structure and luminescence properties of samples were discussed. The PL spectra results reveal that the annealing temperature plays a key role in the luminescence properties of products. The samples obtained under 650–850 °C exhibit a strong green emission at 546 nm, attributing to the 5 D 4 - 7 F 5 transition of Tb 3+ , while the samples produced above 850 °C emit dominating blue lines at 381 and 415 nm, corresponding to the 5 D 3 - 7 F 6 and 5 D 3 - 7 F 5 transitions, respectively. The XPS results imply that a part of doping Tb 3+ ions may be oxidized to Tb 4+ on the high-temperature thermal treatment process, which could be the reason for the bluish color of Tb-doped YPO 4 phosphors.

Macroporous terbium-doped Ca 12 Al 14 O 32 Cl 2 (C12A7:Tb 3+ ) monoliths were synthesized via a sol-gel route accompanied by phase separation, and the luminescence performances and detection of Ag + in water of the C12A7:Tb 3+ monoliths were investigated in detail. The simulation of the hydrolysis and dimerization reactions of C12A7:Tb 3+ shows that the hydrolysis and dimerization of Tb 3+ are prior to Al 3+ , and the doped Tb 3+ will affect the sol-gel transition of the system. The addition of Tb element changes the macrostructure derived from phase separation and sol-gel transition, and decreases the macropore size of C12A7 monolith. Heat treatment allows the formation of a single mayenite phase C12A7:Tb 3+ without spoiling the macrostructure, and the Tb 3+ ions replace the position of the Ca 2+ ions of the “cage” structure without destroying the lattice structure of C12A7. The luminescence intensity of C12A7:3%Tb 3+ monolith reaches the maximum, and the corresponding macropore size and porosity are 0.3 μm and 79% respectively. High luminescence intensity of C12A7:Tb 3+ monolith is attributed to higher scattering light and wonderful high temperature stability derived from the macrostructure. The obtained macroporous C12A7:Tb 3+ material has a sensitive response to Ag + ions, and can become a promising fluorescence sensor for the detection of Ag + ions.

The pure and Tb-doped In 2 O 3 beaded-porous nanotubes (BPNTs) are fabricated by simple electrospinning method. The crystal phase, morphology and chemical composition of the obtained samples were analyzed by characteristic techniques (XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, etc.). The mechanism of forming BPNTs structure was studied, and phase separation plays a key role in the process of formation. A series of sensing tests toward formaldehyde gas showed that 6 mol% Tb-doped In 2 O 3 BPNTs exhibited the best sensing performance: high response (75–50 ppm), shorter response and recovery times (2 s and 12 s), low limit of detection (LOD, 1.27–100 ppb), good selectivity and long-term stability, etc. The significantly improved gas sensing properties were mainly resulted from their high surface basicity, enriched defects (oxygen vacancies), small crystallite size and complex porous structures.

Tb 3+ doped LaBO 3 phosphors with various doping levels were synthesized by hydrothermal and post-calcination methods. The structure, morphology, chemical composition, and optical properties of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). XRD patterns reveal that Tb 3+ doped LaBO 3 crystals with monoclinic or orthorhombic structures can be obtained by adjusting the doping content of Tb 3+ . The XPS and EDS results indicate that the elements of La, O, B, and Tb were uniformly distributed in the samples, and some doping Tb 3+ were oxidized to Tb 4+ . The prepared Tb 3+ doped LaBO 3 phosphors emit green emission at 543 nm under 271 nm excitation. The luminescence intensity is affected by the Tb 3+ doping level, and concentration quenching will be observed due to an electric quadrupole-electric quadrupole interaction (p-p) process when the Tb 3+ doping amount rises above 22 %. In particular, the luminescence properties of the Tb 3+ doped LaBO 3 phosphors are dramatically affected by the structure of the samples, and the luminescence intensity of the samples with orthorhombic structure is significantly higher than those with monoclinic structure. The decay curves of samples exhibit a double exponential behavior, and the average luminescence lifetime decreases with an increase in Tb 3+ doping levels.

Scintillators are of significance for X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) imaging from scientific research to medical diagnostics application. Rare earth fluoride nanocrystals possess distinctive luminescent properties originated from the abundant energy level of lanthanide activators, showing potential applications as next-generation scintillators. Herein, high Z atomic rare earth element lutetium was chosen to synthesized NaLuF 4 -based nanoscintillators by Tb doping. Core-shell structure was fabricated to further enhance the XEL emission intensity. The NaLuF 4 -based nanoscintillators was demonstrated more efficient XEL emission with 3-folds increase compared to NaYF 4 nanocrystals. NaLuF 4 nanocrystals with a 25 mol% Tb doping and an inert shell coating exhibited excellent scintillation performance with detection limit as low as to 57.05 nGy air s −1 . X-ray imaging demonstrated a high spatial resolution of 10.5 lp mm −1 using a scintillator film made from as-prepared NaLuF 4 -based nanoscintillators. Finally, such NaLuF 4 -based scintillators film have been applied in X-ray imaging application for a chip and a biological specimen. This study proposed an effective strategy to enhance XEL for rare earth fluoride, providing the ability for high-quality X-ray imaging.

Radiographic screens are widely used in high energy physics, national defense, aviation, radiodynamic therapy and medical imaging due to their scintillation materials that can transform high-energy particles or rays into ultraviolet (UV) visible light or other signals. In recent years, lanthanide doped fluoride nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent optical properties and stability. In this work, multiple lanthanide-doped LiLuF4 nanocrystal scintillation materials were synthesized by thermal decomposition. Among them, Tb-doped LiLuF4 nanocrystals have high X-ray sensitivity and low detection limit (36.31 nGy s−1), which is much lower than the requirement of medical imaging dose rate. After the irradiation of 42.29 mGy s−1 X-ray for 1 hour, the intensity of radioluminescence basically remained unchanged. Based on the good properties of our nanocrystals, we further prepared the flexible film of nanocomposites with epoxy resin. This kind of uniform, large area, high loaded flexible film exhibits excellent performance in X-ray imaging with a spatial resolution greater than 20 line pairs per millimeter (LP/mm).
