A UV-cured composite containing a rare earth complex was prepared for this study. First, the photoluminescent terbium complex was synthesized with a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid (10-Undecenoic acid) by a solution precipitation method, resulting in the 10-UA-Tb(III) complex. Its structure was proven by FTIR, elemental analysis, XRD, and TGA. The results indicated that the organic acid ligand successfully coordinated with the Tb3+ ion and that the complex had a chelate bidentate structure. The emission spectrum of the 10-UA-Tb(III) complex indicated that the complex can emit a bright green light with the unique luminescence of the Tb3+ ion. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of complexes with different ratios of Tb3+ and ligand were studied, and the ratio of Tb3+ and the ligand had an obvious impact on the luminescence intensity of the 10-UA-Tb(III) complex. Subsequently, the prepared rare earth complex was doped into a UV-cured coating in different proportions to obtain a UV-cured composite. The morphology of the rare earth UV-cured composite was observed by SEM. The images showed that the rare earth complex was dispersed uniformly in the polymer matrix. Moreover, the composites could emit fluorescence. Additionally, it has good thermal stability and compatibility with the resin. Therefore, these composites should have potential applications in UV curable materials, such as luminescence coatings.

It is well known that a minor addition of rare earth oxides can provide a beneficial effect towards various catalytic reactions. Use of rare earth oxide in different applications could improve commercial productivity in an affordable way. Among the rare earth oxides, ZrO2, La2O3 and CeO2 are very interesting due to their various characteristics showing a large range of applications in organic reactions. The changes in the molecular properties of materials at the nano scale level greatly enhance their physical properties as well as chemical properties and activity. Due to the extremely small size of the particles, an increased surface area is provided to the reactant enabling more molecules to react at the same time, thereby speeding up the process. In this work, the enhancement in the catalytic activity of these nano structured rare earth oxides has been studied under different reaction conditions. Nano crystalline ZrO2, La2O3 and CeO2 samples were synthesized using precipitation method and optimum reaction conditions have been established; whereas the corresponding bulk samples were synthesized by combustion method. The identification of phase and crystalline size of synthesized oxides have been done by X-ray diffraction, the band gape of these three oxides in both the forms has been analyzed by UV absorbance and surface area has been determined by gas adsorption analysis (BET). Moreover their different properties and the activity of nano crystallite oxides have also been compared with their bulk counterparts. Even the activity of ZrO2 is also compared with the rare earth oxides La2O3 and CeO2.

Rare earth metal complexes have special characteristics, such as extremely narrow emission bands and high internal quantum efficiencies, which are suitable to be used as the emission materials, chemistry and biological technology. Ternary nano complex of terbium gatifloxacin phenanthroline was synthesized.The composition and structure of ternary complex were characterized by element analysis, Mass Spectrometry (MS), UltraViolet Absorption Spectrometry (UV) and fluorescence spectra(FS). The influences of solubility, thermal stability and luminescent properties of complex as well as addition of phenanthroline secondary ligands on the fluorescence spectra of the ternary complexes were studied. The results of fluorescence spectra analysis showed that partial energy was transferred from Characterization to terbium ions by intramolecular energy transfer processes, meanwhile, the addition of phenanthroline can effectively increase the luminescence intensity of terbium icons. The complex possessed well luminescence and showed characteristic emission peaks of Tb3+ under UV light excitation and emitted strong green fluorescence. Moreover, in an ITO/PVK/Tb(GFLX)3Phen/Al device, Tb3+ ion can be excited by intramolecular ligand-to-metal energy transfer process. The main peak of emission at 545 nm is attributed to 5D0→7F2 transition of the Tb3+ ion, and this process results in the enhancing green emission. Biological actrivity properties of the rare earth complex was well studied.

Photocatalytic degradation of pollutants has attracted much attention because it can effectively solve the problem of environmental pollution. SiO2@Eu(TTA)3phen@TiO2 core-shell structures were successfully synthesized for the first time by a solvothermal method involving ultrasound assistance which can optimize the rare earth complex dispersibility and achieve strong emission intensity. SiO2@Eu3+@TiO2 core-shell structures were also successfully synthesized by a similar method. Photocatalytic activity analysis showed that the photocatalytic activity factor not only depended on the rare earth ion content, but also related to the structure and size of the TiO2 nanoparticles. Photocatalytic activity increased first and then decreased with the quantity of rare earth ions. Photocatalytic activity was also superior for hollow structures compared to solid structure. Photocatalytic activity of SiO2@TiO2 particles increased with the particle size, until the size increased to 450 nm. Rare earth ions content as well as particle structures and sizes affected efficiency for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. Outstanding photocatalytic activity provides the composite particles with improved potential to purify aquatic contaminants and to meet the demands of future environmental remediation applications.

Phosphors based on calcium carbonate, co-doped with various Eu 3+ and Dy 3+ concentrations were prepared by microwave co-precipitation method. The prepared phosphors were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation (PL-PLE) spectroscopy. Results showed that Dy 3+ and Eu 3+ ions were uniformly introduced into the host lattice of CaCO 3 taking the place of Ca 2+ ions. Under the excitation at 382 nm, the emission peak wavelengths were at 487 nm (4 F 9/2 → 6 H 15/2 of Dy 3+), 576 nm (4 F 9/2 → 6 H 13/2 of Dy 3+), and 614 nm (5 D 0 → 7 F 2 of Eu 3+). The luminescent intensities and emitting colors of Eu 3+- Dy 3+ co-doped CaCO 3 phosphors could be controlled by UV–violet excitations wavelengths or the rare-earth ions concentrations of Eu 3+ and Dy 3+ in phosphors. The chromaticity coordinates and photographs of samples under UV light showed the changes of the luminescence color intuitively through the varing UV–violet excitations wavelengths or the rare-earth ions concentrations of Eu 3+ and Dy 3+.

Rare earth complex Eu(phen)2Cl3·2H2O synthesized by precipitation method was incorporated into MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves which were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Hybrid inorganic/organic mesoporous luminescent material Eu(phen)2/MCM-41 has been characterized by XRD, TEM, IR, UV-visible spectra and fluorescence spectra. Results indicated that the hybrid mesoporous material has typical structure of MCM-41 and retains the same pore structure as MCM-41 after the assembly process. The fluorescence spectra of these materials present a series of narrow lines assigned to 5D0 → 7F0,1,2,3,4 transitions. The high emission intensity observed is a promising property for application of the rare earth complex in technological luminescent devices.
