Nearly pure red color upconversion luminescence of Ln-doped Sc2O3 with unexpected RE-MOFs molecular alloys as precursor

Unexpected Sc/Ln codoped rare earth metal-organic frameworks (RE-MOFs) molecular alloys (MAs) based on an oxalic acid ligands were obtained. Calcination of the RE-MOFs MAs gave the corresponding codoped rare earth oxides a strong and nearly pure red color upconversion luminescence. It allows the res...

Description
Summary:Unexpected Sc/Ln codoped rare earth metal-organic frameworks (RE-MOFs) molecular alloys (MAs) based on an oxalic acid ligands were obtained. Calcination of the RE-MOFs MAs gave the corresponding codoped rare earth oxides a strong and nearly pure red color upconversion luminescence. It allows the resulting lanthanide ion (Ln3+) doped upconversion materials a wide range of applications from optical communications to disease diagnosis. Moreover, the pyrolysis RE-MOFs MAs precursor has demonstrated to be an effective preparation method for a uniform Ln-doped Sc2O3 system.
