Current Research and Achievement
     Our research involves solid state chemistry, luminescent materials, and nanomaterials. Our overall research goal is the design, synthesis, and properties of new materials with particular emphasis on understanding the structure-function relationship and their applications. Our research is motivated by the need to improve our fundamental understanding of these materials as well as gain practical knowledge of immediate use in developing new optical information and function materials for laser, fluorescent lamps, PDP, LCD, white LED, and so on.

1.  Explore new highly efficient luminescent materials
    Our research is concentrated on the structures, luminescent properties, energy transfer of different activators, and the relationships among them. These investigations allow us to provide the theoretical fundaments for predicting, designing, and synthesizing new highly efficient luminescent materials for fluorescent lamps, white LEDs, backlight for LCD, PDP, and so on. These investigations also provide a chance for us to discover new highly efficient luminescent materials and explore their feasibility of applications. The study of optical properties covers the range from vacuum ultraviolet to near infrared. Synthesized compounds dealt with borate, aluminate, silicate, phosphate, aluminoborate, fluoridesulphide, etc. We have obtained several highly efficient luminescent materials such as highly efficient red PDP Phosphor in the system Y2O3-P2O5-V2O5:Eu. We have obtained three patents of new highly efficient phosphors. We have also obtained the relationship between host-absorption position and host compound.

2.  Develop new synthesis technologies for highly efficient phosphors in use 
     Our goal is to develop new preparation methods of highly efficient luminescent materials in use. We have synthesized highly efficient luminescent materials such as  upconversion phosphors (NaYF4:Er,Yb, BaYF5:Yb,Er), long persistence phosphors ((Ba,Sr,Ca)Al2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+), tricolor phosphors (Y2O3:Eu, YVO4:Eu, (Ce,Tb)MgAl11O19, (La,Ce,Tb)PO4 Sr5(PO4)3Cl:Eu, BaMgAl10O17:Eu,), color PDP phosphors (BaMgAl10O17:Eu, (Ba,Sr,Mg)O·xAl2O3:Mn, Zn2SiO4:Mn, (Y,Gd)(P1-xVx)O4:Eu, (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu), and LED phosphors ((Y,Ln,Ce)3(Al,Ga)5O12). Some obtained phosphors have been used in tricolor fluorescent lamps and display. At the same time, we have applied five patents. Furthermore, we have developed a new measurement system for PDP phosphors and set up a product line of the phosphors in Baoto Huaguang Rare Earth New Materials Co., Ltd. The preparation technology was honored as one of the ten news of Rare Earth Science and Technology in 2004.

3.  Control synthesis of functional micro/nanomaterials
     Our attention focuses on the shape control, micro/nanostructure assembly, and functional properties of micro/nanomaterials. We have obtained different kinds of shapes of micro/nanomaterials by various methods such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, and microemulsion methods. We obtained some rare earth materials with different defined shapes and structures such as nanorods, nanotubes, hollow spheres, spheres, core-shell structure, and so on. Meanwhile, We have developed the mass production technology of rare earth oxide nanomaterials and set up a product line in Shanghai Yuelong New Materials Co., Ltd. We have obtained three patents about the preparation methods of nanomaterials.

4.  Assemble nanoarrays via AAO template

     Our aim is to prepare defined nanoarrays via templates especially AAO template and study their properties. We have obtained Y2O3:Eu nanotube array and Y2O3:Tb nanorod array by AAO template (see following Figure). These nanoarrays have a potential application in optical information storage.

5.  Apply nanomaterials to practice.

     The obtained rare earth nanomaterials have been used in the field of ultraviolet absorption material, catalyst, luminescent materials, rear projection TV, etc.  The application of rare earth oxides in rear projection TV greatly improves the viewing angle of the screen (see following Figure). Therefore, this application was appraised as a breakthrough that possessed an original innovation and reached international leading level.
