Hydrothermal treatment for preparation of europium-lanthanum phosphates and exploration of their fluorescence properties

Europium-substituted lanthanum phosphates (Eu; 5 mol%) were prepared from lanthanum nitrate, europium nitrate, and sodium polyphosphate solutions by a hydrothermal process at 120 and 160 °C up to 8 h. The obtained phosphates were studied using XRD, IR spectroscopy, TG–DTA, and SEM. UV–vis absorbance...
