Nearly Pure Red Color Upconversion Luminescence Of Ln-Doped Sc2o3 With Unexpected Re-Mofs Molecular Alloys As Precursor

Unexpected Sc/Ln codoped rare earth metal-organic frameworks (RE-MOFs) molecular alloys (MAs) based on an oxalic acid ligands were obtained. Calcination of the REMOFs MAs gave the corresponding codoped rare earth oxides a strong and nearly pure red color upconversion luminescence. It allows the resulting lanthanide ion (Ln(3+)) doped upconversion materials a wide range of applications from optical communications to disease diagnosis. Moreover, the pyrolysis RE-MOFs MAs precursor has demonstrated to be an effective preparation method for a uniform Ln-doped Sc2O3 system.
