Synthesis and Characterization of Monodispersed Rare-earth Ion Doped CeO2 Coated on SiO2 Spheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Core–shell microspheres of monodispersed SiO2 coated with rare-earth ion doped CeO2 (Eu3+ Sm3+ Dy3+) were prepared through a sol-gel method and followed by heat treatment at 800 °C for 4 h. XRD patterns revealed the crystal structures of the doped CeO2 coated on amorphous SiO2 sphere as a shell subsequent to heat treatment at 800 °C. SEM and TEM analysis indicated the microstructures of the coating and uniform size distributions of microspheres. Photoluminescence studies showed that the luminescent property had significant influence depending on different dopant ions and the thickness of the shell coated on SiO2 spheres.
