Phosphate protected fluoride nano-phosphors

Abstract

A fast and easy 2-in-1 step microwave reaction procedure to phosphate coated nanofluorides allows for the formation of phosphate protected fluoride nanoparticles from simple lanthanide precursors in ionic liquids. The phosphate shell efficiently prevents the fluoride particle from decomposition in an atmosphere (containing oxygen and water) at elevated temperatures.
