Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of TiO₂ Materials Single and Triple Doped with Rare Earth Ions (Sm³⁺ , Tb ³⁺ and Eu ³⁺)

Abstract:

Four types of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) materials doped with a single kind of rare earth ions Ln³⁺ (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, or Sm³⁺) and three rare earth ions (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Sm³⁺) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The compositions, structures, and photophysical properties of these compounds were tested. The structure of the rare earth ion-doped TiO₂ samples was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Optical absorption and fluorescence information was obtained using UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The surface morphology of rare earth ion-doped TiO₂ materials was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To further explore the photoluminescent properties of rare earth-doped TiO₂ materials for practical applications, small-scale LED light-emitting devices were fabricated.
