We report a facile and effective luminescence method for the determination of the WO<sub>4</sub> <sup>2-</sup> ion in aqueous medium at initial pH = 6.3. This is achieved using 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid-capped CaF<sub>2</sub>:Tb<sup>3+</sup> (5%) nanocrystals (NCs) as a luminescent probe. This is accomplished based on the energy transfer luminescence from the WO<sub>4</sub> <sup>2-</sup> ion to the Tb<sup>3+</sup> ion in small-size CaF<sub>2</sub>:Tb<sup>3+</sup> NCs. Hydroxyl groups on the surf ...[more]
