Hydrothermal Synthesis of β-NaYF4:Yb, Er Nanocrystals with Upconversion Fluorescence Using Tetraethylene Pentamine as Chelating Ligand
Novel chelating ligands are very significant for preparing nanocrystals with different morphologies and applications. In this paper, we directly introduced amine groups onto UCNPs by choosing a new chelating ligand tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA) to synthesis NaYF4:Yb, Er through hydrothermal method....
