Red Zn₂SiO₄:Eu³⁺ and Mg₂TiO₄:Mn⁴⁺ nanophosphors for on-site rapid optical detections: Synthesis and characterization.

ABSTRACT: This study reports the synthesis and characterization of the red nanophosphors Zn₂SiO₄:Eu³⁺ (ZSO:Eu³⁺) and Mg₂TiO₄:Mn⁴⁺ (MTO:Mn⁴⁺). The use of phosphors as a fluorescence label for lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) has also been described. The optimal photoluminescence (PL) for ZSO:Eu³⁺ was obtained when it was synthesized with 7 mol% of Eu³⁺ and annealed at 1100 °C for 1 h. Long fluorescence lifetime (1.01 ms), high activation energy Ea (0.28 eV), and low PL degeneration (10% at 110 °C) are the characteristics of ZSO:Eu³⁺. MTO:Mn⁴⁺ also exhibited high PL intensity along with a high E _a of 0.32 eV. The emission wavelengths of phosphors are biocompatible with the optical bio-window of tissues. When human immunoglobulin G (human IgG) at a constant concentration of 100 μg/mL was used for detection, the PL ratios of the test line to the control line were 2.15 and 2.28 for the ZSO:Eu³⁺- and MTO:Mn⁴⁺-labeled LFIA, respectively. Thus, the ZSO:Eu³⁺ and MTO:Mn⁴⁺ nanophosphors are capable of human IgG recognition and are the promising candidates as fluorescent labels for on-site rapid optical biodetection.

Project description:Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped upconversion (UC) phosphors converting near-infrared (NIR) light to visible light hold very high promise toward biomedical applications. The scientific findings on luminescent thermometers revealed their superiority for noninvasive thermal sensing. However, only few reports showcase their potential for applications in extreme conditions (temperatures below -70 °C) restricted by low thermal sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate the tailoring of luminescence properties via introducing Ho3+-Mn2+ energy transfer (ET) routes with judicious codoping of Mn2+ ions in ZnAl2O4/Ho3+,Yb3+ phosphor. Preferentially, a singular red UC emission is required to improve the bioimaging sensitivity and minimize tissue damage. We could attain UC emission with 94% red component by a two-photon UC process. Higher temperature annealing brings the color coordinates to the green domain, highlighting the potential for color-tunable luminescence switch. Moreover, this work investigates the thermometric properties of ZnAl2O4/Yb3+, Ho3+ in the range of 80-300 K and influence of inducing extra ET pathways by Mn2+ codoping. Interestingly, the luminescence intensities for nonthermally coupled (5F4,5S2) and the 5F5 radiative transitions of Ho3+ ions display opposite behavior at 80 and 300 K, which revealed competition between temperature-sensitive decay pathways. The codoping of Mn2+ ions is fruitful in causing a fourfold increase of absolute sensitivity. Notably, the color tunability from green through yellow to red is helpful in rough temperature estimation by naked eyes. The maximum relative (Sr) and absolute sensitivities (Sa) were estimated to be 1.89% K-1 (140 K) and 0.0734 K-1 (300 K), respectively. Even at 80 K, a Sa of 0.00447 K-1 and Sr of 0.6025% K-1 were achievable in our case, which are higher than most of the other Ln3+-based systems. The above-mentioned results demonstrate the potential of ZnAl2O4/Yb3+,Ho3+ for cryogenic optical thermometry and a strategy to design new Ln3+-based UC thermometers by taking advantage of ET routes.
