Nanocrystalline powders of Lu2O3:Eu with activator content varying between 0.2%-10% were prepared using four different methods of synthesis. The products differed in their microstructure and crystallites sizes. Combustion of Lu(NO3)3 with urea produced strongly agglomerated material, most probably with significantly non-uniform distribution of the Eu3+ dopant. Replacing urea with glycine for the combustion produced only slightly agglomerated, voluminous, fluffy powder. Applying the Pechini technique resulted in significantly agglomerated powder while the homogeneous precipitation of Lu(OH)3 with urea at 90 °C and its subsequent decomposition to Lu2O3 at 650 °C resulted in a powder of perfectly spherical particles with a uniform size of about 130 nm with very low agglomeration. The efficiency of X-ray excited luminescence of our nanocrystalline Lu2O3:5%Eu was compared to that of the commercial microcrystalline Gd2O2S:Eu. It was found that the commercial phosphor performed four times more efficiently than our nanocrystalline powder. We consider this to be rather encouraging as the fabrication of our powder is not optimized yet. It seems that Lu2O3:Eu, even in nanocrystalline form, can perform much more efficiently which would make it a promising X-ray phosphor.

We synthesized and characterized Eu and Tb doped NaGdF4 nanophosphors which generate visible light when excited by a focused X-ray beam. High resolution images were acquired through tissue by measuring light intensity vs. X-ray beam position.

(1) Background: Though X-ray excited photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) breakthrough the bottom neck of PDT application in deep tumor by overcoming light penetration depth limitation, the quantum yield of the hydrophilic X-PDT nanoparticles (NPs) still hampered its further application in vivo. Thus, establishing a proper hydrophilic decoration method which can maximally maintain the quantum yield of X-ray excited luminescent NPs is of urgent demand. (2) Methods: We synthesized NaGdF4: [Formula: see text] (NGF) as X-ray excited luminescent NPs and conducted hydrophilic decoration by two hydrophilic ligands, polyethylene glycol-NH2 (PEG) and cysteamine (Cy) via place exchange reaction, and coupled with photosensitizer (MC540) to form a X-PDT nanosystem. We also conducted experiments in vitro and in vivo to evaluate the efficacy of the X-PDT system. (3) Results: Both PEG and Cy decoration NPs presented excellent emission intensity, which could well excite the coupled photosensitizer MC540 to generate significant X-PDT efficacy under low-dose X-ray radiation. Especially for the NGF-Cy-MC540 treatment group, the cell viability reduced to [Formula: see text]% under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy radiation and [Formula: see text]% under only 0.1[Formula: see text]Gy radiation, which is the lowest radiation dosage in the literature reports so far. In vivo experiment showed about 36% of tumor inhibition rate under 0.3[Formula: see text]Gy X-ray. Besides, no biotoxicity was observed in NGF groups even in high concentrations, demonstrating good biocompatibility. (4) Conclusions: The hydrophilic decoration method by Cy or PEG via place exchange reaction may pave a brand new way and strategy for X-PDT further clinical application.
