In this study, we design a controlled release system based on CaF 2 :Ce 3+ /Tb 3+ -poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) composite microspheres , which were fabricated by filling the pH-responsive PAA inside CaF 2 :Ce 3+ /Tb 3+ hollow spheres via photopolymerization route. The CaF 2 :Ce 3+ /Tb 3+ hollow spheres prepared by hydrothermal route possess mesoporous structure and show strong green fluorescence from Tb 3+ under UV excitation. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), a widely used anti-cancer drug, was used as a model drug to evaluate the loading and controlled release behaviors of the composite microspheres due to the good biocompatibility of the samples using MTT assay . The composite carriers provide a strongly pH-dependent drug release behavior owing to the intrinsic property of PAA and its interactions with DOX. The endocytosis process of drug-loaded microspheres was observed using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and the in vitro cytotoxic effect against SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells of the DOX-loaded carriers was investigated. In addition, the extent of drug release could be monitored by the altering of photoluminescence (PL) intensity of CaF 2 :Ce 3+ /Tb 3+ . Considering the good biocompatibility, high drug loading content and pH-dependent drug release of the materials, these hybrid luminescent microspheres have potential applications in drug controlled release and disease therapy.

The exploitation of functional phosphors possessing a variety of advantages, including narrow-band emission, fast response to near-ultraviolet (n-UV)/blue light excitation, high quantum efficiency, and low thermal quenching, is essentially important for the wide-color-gamut display backlights. It is the first example to introduce Ce3+–Tb3+ pairs into the Ca3Lu2Si6O18 (CLSO) host for identifying a novel green-emitting material with all the mentioned properties. The efficient Ce3+ → Tb3+ energy transfer process was monitored in the CLSO host via dipole-quadruple interactions between Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions, leading to a wide excitation band in the n-UV region and bright green light with a main sharp emission band at 543 nm. Moreover, the composition-optimized sample has been found to achieve extremely high internal quantum efficiency (close to unity) and excellent thermal stability (lost only 13.2% of the initial emission intensity at 150 °C), which are more favorable than those shown by a vast majority of green-emitting phosphors reported recently. The prototype pc-WLED fabricated using the as-prepared sample as the green component exhibited a high luminous efficiency (LE) of 31.48 lm W−1 and a wide color gamut of 91.2% (area ratio) National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) 1953 standard. These attractive properties verified that the proof of concept concerning the designed sample will be a promising candidate to substitute the current green color phosphors for wide-color-gamut display backlights.

A series of BaMgF4:Ce3+/Tb3+/Eu3+ phosphors were successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), n-UV–UV-vis photoluminescence (PL) and fluorescence decays were employed to investigate the structure, composition, morphology, luminescence properties and energy transfer processes. The as-prepared BaMgF4 phosphors exhibit a rod-like morphology and the size of the product can be effectively regulated by changing the amount of NH4F in the original solution. Under n-UV–UV light excitation, the Ce3+, Tb3+ and Eu3+ singly-doped BaMgF4 phosphors all show good characteristic luminescence; the Ce3+–Tb3+ and Tb3+–Eu3+ co-doped BaMgF4 phosphors both show tunable emission colors from blue (green) to green (orange-red) because of the energy transfer of Ce3+ → Tb3+ and Tb3+ → Eu3+, respectively. Moreover, the efficient energy transfer from Ce3+ (Tb3+) to Tb3+ (Eu3+) ions in the co-doped samples was confirmed by investigating the excitation/emission spectra and decay lifetimes. The results indicate that the phosphors may be potentially used as single-component multi-color phosphors for white light-emitting diodes.

Despite long-term development of LEDs, problems urgent to resolve is still existing. The most outstanding problem to tackle is luminescent stability at high temperature working situation. In this study, a novel type of β-NaYF 4 based phosphor incorporated with Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ is reported. A series of β-NaYF 4 :0.065Eu 3+ , x Tb 3+ ( x = 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004, 0.005) phosphors were synthesized by hydrothermal method . The sample β-NaYF 4 :0.065Eu 3+ ,0.002Tb 3+ possesses optimal luminescent property at room temperature. The mechanism of energy transfer from Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ ion is quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. The sample β-NaYF 4 :0.065Eu 3+ ,0.002Tb 3+ demonstrates zero thermal quenching (ZTQ) property at 303 K to 383 K. According to XRD and XPS characterizations, nonequivalent replacement between intrinsic ion Na + and Y 3+ were discovered, which finally leads to production of crystal defects. According to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation, the type of crystal defect of β-NaYF 4 :0.065Eu 3+ ,0.002Tb 3+ is confirmed to be V Y vacancies which are the predominant defect of crystal. The depths and densities of defects were calculated according to data of thermoluminescence spectra (TL spectra). Crystal defects play the role of electrons traps that could store electrons. Electrons stored in traps will be excited to excitation state of Eu 3+ under the thermal stimulation to offset undesirable impact of thermal quenching (TQ), which leads to ZTQ property of the sample β-NaYF 4 :0.065Eu 3+ ,0.002Tb 3+ . The CRI and CCT of fabricated WLED are 3830 K and 84.1, respectively.

Dy 3+ /Tb 3+ co-doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics (GC) containing lithium tetrafluoroyttrium (LiYF 4 ) and yttrium fluoride (YF 3 ) nanograins were prepared by a traditional melt-quenching approach. The crystalline phases and morphologies of the GCs were investigated. The GCs showed enhanced green emission from Tb 3+ ions and the quenching of Dy 3+ emission because of the efficient energy transfer from Dy 3+ to Tb 3+ ions. The electric dipole-dipole interactions were responsible for the energy transfer mechanism between Dy 3+ and Tb 3+ ions. The energy transfer efficiencies of these glass ceramics were calculated from their decay curves. The Dy 3+ /Tb 3+ co-doped oxyfluoride GCs with various visible emissions were found to be potential candidates for white-light emitting diode applications.

Well-crystallized flower-like SrCO 3 :Tb 3+ phosphors have been synthesized by an inexpensive and friendly solvothermal process using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, K30) as an additive without further annealing treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) as well as photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) were used to characterize the resulting samples. The amount of PVP and the reaction time have strong effect on the morphology of the SrCO 3 :Tb 3+ particles. The results of XRD confirm the formation of a well-crystallized SrCO 3 phase with an orthorhombic structure. The possible formation mechanism for flower-like SrCO 3 :Tb 3+ phosphor is proposed. The SrCO 3 :Tb 3+ phosphors show the characteristic 5 D 4 – 7 F J ( J = 6, 5, 4, 3) emission lines with green emission 5 D 4 – 7 F 5 (544 nm) as the most prominent group under ultraviolet excitation.

Quantitative detection of permanganate ( MnO 4 ‐ ) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) is essential for environmental safety. Fluorescence detection technology is one of the most widely used detection technologies, which can be used for the detection of various anions and organic pollutants. In this paper, Ba 4 Lu 3 F 17 :Tb 3+ phosphors were successfully obtained by hydrothermal method. The morphology transition of Ba 4 Lu 3 F 17 crystal from nanoparticles through octahedron to hexagonal prism was realized in the pH range of 3–11. The best luminescent samples were obtained by changing the type of additives and the doping concentration of Tb 3+ ions. The obtained Ba 4 Lu 3 F 17 :Tb 3+ has high selectivity and anti-interference for MnO 4 ‐ and 4-NP detection, with the detection limits being 0.79 μM and 1.28 μM, respectively.

A novel fluorescent sensor based on an asymmetric anthracene derivative (SSAPA) was designed and synthesized. Using this molecule, a rapid and sensitive assay for detecting Tb3+ and ATP in aqueous solutions was established. The SSAPA molecule had excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) performance and good aqueous dispersion ability. This molecule could coordinate with Tb3+ and the fluorescence quenched linearly with the increase in the concentration of Tb3+ from 0.005 to 1.2 μM. Since both Tb3+ and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) have strong binding ability, ATP can compete with Tb3+ from the SSAPA/Tb3+ complex leading to fluorescence recovery. In this way, a brand-new fluorescent “turn-on” assay for ATP in the range from 0.01 to 0.4 μM was developed using the Tb3+-based complex probe. The detection limits for Tb3+ and ATP both reached single-digit nanomole per millilitre (2.8 nM and 4.5 nM, respectively), which demonstrated that this method has high sensitivity. Besides, Tb3+ and ATP also could be well detected in other complex environments such as real water samples or serum samples. This study provides a feasible assay for detecting trace amounts of Tb3+ and ATP in aqueous solutions.

Here, an X-ray-excited super-long afterglow phosphor β-NaYF4:Tb3+ has been discovered for the first time. After X-ray irradiation, the green emission can persist for more than 240 h. After 120 h, the power density of afterglow reached 3.76 × 10–6 W·m–2, which can be clearly observed by the naked eye under dark vision. Also, combined with the results of thermoluminescence and photoluminescence, the super-long afterglow emission of β-NaYF4:Tb3+ can be ascribed to the tunneling model associated with F centers. More importantly, the super-long green afterglow emission of β-NaYF4:Tb3+ has been successfully used as an in vivo light source to activate g-C3N4 for photodynamic therapy and bacteria destruction. Furthermore, super-long persistent luminescence of β-NaYF4:Tb3+ could be repeatedly charged by X-rays for many cycles, which indicates that the phosphors have high photostability under repeated cycles of alternating X-ray irradiation.

The realization of tunable multicolor luminescence especially full-spectrum white-light emission in a single matrix has aroused more attention from researchers. To address the above challenge, Bi 3+, and Tb 3+ are selected as both activators and sensitizers with the help of energy level matching engineering of Bi 3+ and Tb 3+ having matching energy levels with Eu 3+ , a series of 1D Y 4 Al 2 O 9 :Bi 3+ , Bi 3+ /Eu 3+ , Tb 3+ , Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ and Bi 3+ /Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ nanofibers (NFs) are designed and synthesized by a simple electrospinning technique combined with an oxidative calcination. Under 298-nm UV light excitation, Y 4 Al 2 O 9 :Bi 3+ /Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ NFs demonstrate tunable multicolor luminescence (blue, purple, red, green, yellow, and white) especially full-spectrum white-light emission via double energy transfer (ET) effect and modulation of molar ratio among Bi 3+ , Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ . Additionally, Y 4 Al 2 O 9 :3%Bi 3+ /7%Tb 3+ /1%Eu 3+ NFs are sensitive to temperature, and the maximum S α and S γ values of Y 4 Al 2 O 9 :3%Bi 3+ /7%Tb 3+ /1%Eu 3+ NFs reach 0.0417 K −1 and 0.84% K −1 , respectively. In virtue of electrospinning, triple activators (Bi 3+ , Tb 3+ , and Eu 3+ ) are readily and uniformly doped in Y 4 Al 2 O 9 NFs single matrix to achieve dual function of tunable multicolor luminescence and temperature sensing. The formation principle and luminescence theory of the samples are clarified. The findings in this work are instructive to develop multicolor luminescent phosphors and temperature-sensing materials.

Rattle-type hollow nanocapsules are among of the most promising candidates as drug carriers owing to their huge inner space and multifunctional material combination. In this paper, rattle-type hollow CaWO4:Tb3+@SiO2 nanocapsules with a diameter of 100–110 nm and a wall thickness around 10 nm were fabricated. The hollow silica nanospheres were used as nano-reactors and the luminescent core of CaWO4:Tb3+ was post-filled into the nano-reactors by a vacuum nano-casting route combined with a Pechini-type sol–gel method. Subsequently, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), a model of an anti-cancer drug, is loaded into the CaWO4:Tb3+@SiO2 nanocapsules and their cell cytotoxicity, cancer cell uptake and drug release behavior are investigated in vitro. The prepared multifunctional inorganic nanocapsules show a loading capacity for DOX as high as 124 mg g−1 and sustained-release properties. The release profile of the drug from DOX-loaded nanocapsules can last over five days. Besides, the blank CaWO4:Tb3+@SiO2 shows very low cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines (HeLa cell) while the DOX-loaded nanocapsules exhibit relatively high efficiency for killing of HeLa cells. The rapid cancer cell uptake process is observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results indicate that a rattle-type hollow CaWO4:Tb3+@SiO2 nanocapsule has the potential to be used as drug carrier in therapy. Moreover, it is possible to extend the synthetic strategy in this study to other rattle-type multifunctional composites to meet various demands.

The cesium-based fluoride Cs 3 YF 6 has increasingly attracted curiosity due to its potential in up-conversion luminescence applications, signifying a possible revolutionary change in the next generation of lanthanide-doped luminescent functional materials. However, the nature of the photoluminescence process involving Cs 3 YF 6 has still not been studied in detail. Developing Cs 3 YF 6 luminescence applications is an intricate endeavor. Herein, we present the optimal doping concentration required for Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ doping in Cs 3 YF 6 . Meanwhile, by spectra analyses and theoretical model simulations, we have been able to decipher the intricacies of the energy transfer interaction that transpires between Tb 3+ and Eu 3+ ions. Furthermore, a water-sensitive fluorescence response system tailored for anti-counterfeiting applications was designed, which relied on the superior luminescence characteristics of Cs 3 YF 6 doped with Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ under excitation at 254 nm, whilst simultaneously exploiting the easily deliquescent nature of Cs 3 YF 6 . This work not only enhances the understanding of Cs 3 YF 6 materials in the field of rare-earth luminescence but also introduces a novel anti-counterfeiting strategy, that propels the development of applications for rare-earth-doped fluoride materials.
