Abstract

A novel halloysite@YF3: Ce3+, Tb3+ anocomposite with strong luminescent properties was designed and synthesized by a facile direct precipitation strategy. Owing to the halloysite as a support, it can significantly prevent the aggregation of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ and the distribution of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ on halloysite was highly uniform. Importantly, due to the unique surface-interface-dielectric multiple confinement (SIDMC) effects, the as-harvested halloysite@YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanocomposite exhibited excellent luminescent performance. Compared with YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+, the luminescence intensity of halloysite@YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanocomposite is significantly enhanced by about 6 times under 255 nm excitation. However, the fluorescence lifetime of halloysite@YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanocomposite (7.21 ms) is shorter than that of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles (8.34 ms). This finding indicated that halloysite can change the luminescent properties of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles through an SIDMC effect. The combination of halloysite and YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles not only endowed halloysite with special properties, and effectively tuned the luminescent properties of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles, thereby improving the utility of halloysite and YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles. The research supplies an insight on the development of natural mineral-based luminescent materials, and hopefully it could promote them application in many fields.

Conclusions

A new type of halloysite@YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanocomposite was successfully synthesized with the direct precipitation method. The combination of halloysite and YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles not only endowed halloysite with new functions but also improved the luminescence properties of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles through SIDMC effect because of the heteroepitaxial growth of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles on the surface of halloysite. Moreover, the combination of halloysite and YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles increases the concentration of excitable Ce3+and Tb3+ ions and reduce the surface defects of YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanoparticles. The prepared novel halloysite@YF3:Ce3+,Tb3+ nanocomposite have broad application prospects in various fields, such as lighting lamps and displays, and can be used in visualizing orally administered drug delivery carriers. The synthesis strategy has the following merits: high output, a simple reaction device, and mild conditions. This strategy can be used in synthesizing other natural mineral-based luminescent nanocomposites and provides an experimental basis for the development of novel low-cost luminescent materials.
