However, rare earth-doped Bas(PO4)3CI phosphors have mainly been obtained via high temperature-based, energy-consuming techniques. In this contribution, we developed a straight- forward, facile room-temperature coprecipitation method in the presence of a specific amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt that provided Bas(PO4)3CI nanoparticles self-assembled to construct uniform Bas(PO4)3CI nanoassemblies (diameter: 80-120 nm) as well as rare earth Tb3+- doped Bas(PO4)3CI:xTb3+ nanophosphors. The nanoassemblies were transparent within the ultraviolet and visible spectral range. The Bas(PO4)3CI:xTb3+ nanophosphors exhibited four emission peaks under 228-nm excitation, and the optimal doping amount of Tb3+ was 4.0%. In contrast to traditional energy-consuming, high-temperature techniques, the facile room-temperature coprecipitation method developed here represents an attractive alternative route to obtain uniform Ba5(PO4)3CI nanoassemblies and Bas(PO4)3CI:xTb3+ nanopbosphors that are candidate luminescent hosts.展开更多
