采用乙二醇法制备了单质Ag纳米粒子,并通过直接沉淀法合成了均匀球形的Ag@YF3:Eu^3+核壳结构复合纳米发光粒子,对产物的结构和性能进行了表征。XRD分析表明:Ag表面包覆上了结晶良好的正交晶系的YF3:Eu^3+。TEM照片表明:所得的纳米复合粒子具有明显的核壳结构和均匀的球形,中间Ag粒子的尺寸在80~100 nm之间,Ag@YF3:Eu^3+的粒径尺寸约为150~180 nm,表面粗糙且包覆完全。电子衍射表明复合样品为多晶。荧光光谱表明:该纳米复合粒子具有良好的发光性,以593 nm附近的5D0→7F1磁偶极跃迁为最强发射峰,但是比纯的YF3:Eu^3+的发光强度要弱,其荧光寿命有所增强,这表明Ag纳米粒子对外层的YF3:Eu^3+的发光有猝灭作用。
Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with a high yield by a polyol process, and the uniform spherical Ag@YF3:Eu^3+ core-shell structural nanomaterials were fabricated via a facile direct precipitation method, then the structure and properties were characterized. XRD patterns show that the orthogonal phase YF3:Eu^3+ nanocrystals are coated on the surface of Ag cores. TEM images indicate that the obtained composites have obvious core-shell structure and uniform spherical morphology, the diameter of the Ag core is of 80~100 nm, the size of the Ag@YF3:Eu^3+ composite is about 150~180 nm, the surface is rough and the coating is complete. Electron diffraction pattern indicates that the samples are polycrystalline. The photoluminescence spectra indicate that the core-shell structural composites have good luminescence, the strong emission peak is near 593 nm corresponding to 5D0→7F1 magnetic dipole transition of Eu^3+, the fluorescent intensity is weaker but the lifetime is stronger than that of the pure YF3:Eu^3+, which indicates that the fluorescent of YF3:Eu^3+ is quenched by Ag cores.
