Chemical conversion synthesis of mesoporous LuPO4: Ln3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb, Dy, Sm) phosphors and tunable luminescent properties

This work develops a simple and general chemical conversion method for the synthesis of mesoporous LuPO4: Ln3+ phosphors with high crystallinity and uniform morphology, and studies the synergetic effect of high crystallinity and large surface area in these materials on the photoluminescence performance.280
