The effects of Eu3+ doping on the phase structure and photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnMoO4 were investigated. The result showed that the introduction of Eu3~ could lead to phase transition of ZnMoO4. With the increase of Eu3-- doping amount, [3-ZnMoO4 was transformed to ct phase gradually, which led to different photoluminescence performances. The optimized doping concentration of Eu3+ was 6 mol% for the highest emission intensity at 615 nm. Its CIE chromaticity coordinates were (0.667, 0.331), which were very close to the values of standard chromaticity (0.67, 0.33) for National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) system. Therefore, Eu3+-doped ZnMoO4 is considered to be a promising red-emitting phosphor for white LED applications.展开更多

With commercial bee pollen as the carbon resource, we synthesized photoluminescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots by a one-pot hydrothermal process, and their fluores- cence quantum yield reached as high as 10.2 % ± 0.5 %. Fluorescence measurements indicated that the fluorescence of the carbon dots was insusceptible to the presence of many environmentally ordinary ions. Thanks to this “inert” property, we then developed a turn-on fluorescent sensor for cyanide ion in an inner filter effect manner by using carbon dots as the fluorophore and gold or silver nanoparticle as the light absorber. This detection technique is expected to be used for other metal nanoparticles-carbon dots ensemble fluorescent assays.展开更多
