Concentration quenching inhibition and fluorescence enhancement in Eu³⁺-doped molybdate red phosphors with two-phase mixing.

ABSTRACT: Red phosphor plays a crucial role in improving the quality of white light illumination and backlight displays. However, significant challenges remain to enhance red emission intensity in different matrix materials. Herein, a class of two-phase mixing red phosphors of NaIn_1-x(MoO₄)₂:xEu³⁺ (NIMO:xEu³⁺) has been successfully prepared by the traditional high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The coordination environment, phase structure, excitation and emission spectra, fluorescence kinetics, and temperature-dependent luminescence properties of the system have been studied comprehensively. It is worth mentioning that the red emission intensity continues to increase with the increased Eu³⁺ doping concentration, and the fluorescence lifetimes remain unchanged. These extraordinary phenomena mainly stem from the special concentration quenching mechanism in such two-phase mixing material, namely, the increased lattice interface barriers from Eu six-coordinated units and Eu eight-coordinated units can effectively block the non-radiation by enlarging the average distance between luminescent centers. The improved fluorescence thermal stability and suppressed non-radiative transition rate in NIMO:40%Eu³⁺ sample are further proving regulatory role of lattice interface barriers. In addition, a warm white light-emitting diode (LED) is successfully fabricated, exhibiting Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.343, 0.335), a color rendering index (CRI) of 92.1, and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5013 K, showing significant application prospects for high-quality lighting devices.

Project description:Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is a novel optical imaging technique that has been applied in clinic using various radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. However, clinical application of CLI has been limited by weak optical signal and restricted tissue penetration depth. Various fluorescent probes have been combined with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging performances. However, as most of these probes only interact with Cerenkov luminescence (CL), the low photon fluence of CL greatly restricted it's interaction with fluorescent probes for in vivo imaging. Therefore, it is important to develop probes that can effectively convert energy beyond CL such as β and γ to the low energy optical signals. In this study, a Eu3+ doped gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3:Eu) was synthesized and combined with radiopharmaceuticals to achieve a red-shifted optical spectrum with less tissue scattering and enhanced optical signal intensity in this study. The interaction between Gd2O3:Eu and radiopharmaceutical were investigated using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). The ex vivo optical signal intensity of the mixture of Gd2O3:Eu and 18F-FDG reached 369 times as high as that of CLI using 18F-FDG alone. To achieve improved biocompatibility, the Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles were then modified with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and the resulted nanoprobe PVA modified Gd2O3:Eu (Gd2O3:Eu@PVA) was applied in intraoperative tumor imaging. Compared with 18F-FDG alone, intraoperative administration of Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG combination achieved a much higher tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (TNR, 10.24 ± 2.24 vs. 1.87 ± 0.73, P = 0.0030). The use of Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG also assisted intraoperative detection of tumors that were omitted by preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Further experiment of image-guided surgery demonstrated feasibility of image-guided tumor resection using Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG. In summary, Gd2O3:Eu can achieve significantly optimized imaging property when combined with 18F-FDG in intraoperative tumor imaging and image-guided tumor resection surgery. It is expected that the development of the Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticle will promote investigation and application of novel nanoparticles that can interact with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging properties. This work highlighted the impact of the nanoprobe that can be excited by radiopharmaceuticals emitting CL, β, and γ radiation for precisely imaging of tumor and intraoperatively guide tumor resection.
