A Study of Vanadate Group Substitution into Nanosized Hydroxyapatite Doped with Eu³⁺ Ions as a Potential Tissue Replacement Material.

ABSTRACT: In this study, nanosized vanadate-substituted hydroxyapatites doped with 1 mol% and 2 mol% Eu³⁺ ions were obtained via the precipitation method. To evaluate the structure and morphology of the obtained compounds, the XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction) technique, Rietveld refinement, SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectrometry) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy) techniques as well as FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy were performed. Moreover, the chemical formula was confirmed using the ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy spectroscopy). The calculated average grain size for powders was in the range of 25 to 90 nm. The luminescence properties of vanadium-substituted hydroxyapatite were evaluated by recording
