The present review article covers the synthesis of inorganic fluorides using two types of
molten media–molten salt fluxes and ionic liquids (IL). Molten salt syntheses (MSS) are …

Some of the old and unrealizable dreams of biomedicine have become possible thanks to
the appearance of novel advanced materials such as luminescent nanothermometers …

Optical thermometers based on Nd 3+(0.5 mol.%), Yb 3+(1.0, 2, 0, 4.0, and 8.0 mol.%): YF 3
nano-phosphors were studied in the 80–320 K temperature range. The Nd 3+, Yb 3+: YF 3 …

Magnetic nanoparticles (M: NPs) are unique agents for in vivo thermal therapies due to their
multimodal capacity for efficient heat generation under optical and/or magnetic excitation …

For the first time, we report a dual optical sensor method (DOSM) using novel 2D VO2
nanosheets to act as fluorometric and colorimetric sensors to perform quantitative analysis of …

In the present work, we make a comparison of Pr 3+: LaF 3 and Pr 3+: LiYF 4 luminescent
nano-and microthermometer performances. We studied Pr 3+: LaF 3 nanoparticles …

Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramic (OxGCs) coatings with composition 1.2 Nd 3+ 80SiO
2-20LaF 3 were prepared following a sol-gel route labelled “pre-crystallized nanoparticles …

A novel and green microfluidic approach was employed for the synthesis of undoped and Eu
(III)-doped calcium molybdate at room and low temperatures. The controlled formation of …

This work is devoted to the study of thermometric performances of Nd3+ (0.1 or 0.5 mol.%),
Yb3+ (X%): YF3 nanoparticles. Temperature sensitivity of spectral shape is related to the …

Hydrophobic up-conversion nanocomposite films have been developed based on TEMPO-
oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNF) modified with alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) as a matrix …
