A Polyol-Mediated Fluoride Ions Slow-Releasing Strategy for the Phase-Controlled Synthesis of Photofunctional Mesocrystals

A Polyol-Mediated Fluoride Ions Slow-Releasing Strategy for the Phase-Controlled Synthesis of Photofunctional Mesocrystals

There are only a few inorganic compounds that have evoked as much interest as sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4). Its extensive applications in various fields, including transparent displays, luminescence coding, data storage, as well as biological imaging, demand the precise tuning of the crystal phas...
