Effect of the Elaboration Method on Structural and Optical Properties of Zn_1.33Ga_1.335Sn_0.33O₄:0.5%Cr³⁺ Persistent Luminescent Nanomaterials.

ABSTRACT: Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials have demonstrated promising developments for applications in many advanced fields due to their unique optical properties. Both high-temperature solid-state (SS) or hydrothermal (HT) methods can successfully be used to prepare PersL materials. In this work, Zn_1.33Ga_1.34Sn_0.33O₄:0.5%Cr³⁺ (ZGSO:0.5%Cr³⁺), a newly proposed nanomaterial for bioimaging, was prepared using SS and HT methods. The results show the crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of the samples that were prepared using both methods. Briefly, the crystallite size of the ZGSO:0.5%Cr³⁺ prepared using the SS method is ~3 µm, and as expected, is larger than materials prepared usin
