The addition of low concentration of hydrazine is found to be effective, while higher amount of hydrogen peroxide is required to generate similar effect. XRD data confirm the product phase to be gibbsitic by nature. The scanning electron micrographs (SEM) show that agglomerated products form in the presence of hydrazine while fine discrete particles are produced with hydrogen peroxide. The probable mechanism of precipitation in the presence of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide is also discussed.展开更多

Mo support had evident effects on the phase structure and up-conversion emissions for the Er:Al2O3 nanocrystals, which promoted the θ-(Al,Er)2O3 transformed to α-(Al,Er,Mo)203 phase, Compared with the Er:Al2O3, the maximal green and red up-conversion emissions intensities increased about 3×10^3 and 1.4×10^2 times for the Er-Mo:Al2O3 nanocrystals, respectively. It suggests that the enhancement of up-conversion emissions is caused by the high excited state energy transfer process from [4115/2, 3T2) state of the Er3+-MoO2- dimer to the 4F7/2 level of E3+.展开更多
