摘要

An intense red-emissive Eu3+-doped (1 mol%) and Bi3+ co-doped (1–5 mol%) Y2O3 nanophosphors series were made using a urea-assisted solution combustion method and characterized using XRD, XPS, PL, SEM, and TEM. The nanophosphors exhibit emission under near-UV excitation (5D0 → 7F2 transition of Eu3+), significantly enhanced through Bi3+-mediated energy transfer, with emission intensity and transfer efficiency tunable via Bi3+ concentration. A PVA–chitosan film incorporated with red nanophosphor was fabricated, resulting in a stable, flexible, and waterproof film, providing safe, concealed luminescent materials. Also, the optimized Y2O3:Eu3+(1 mol%): Bi3+(5 mol%) phosphor was functionalized for latent fingerprint imaging under 395 nm UV light, as well as a PVA-transparent anti-counterfeiting ink tried on various substrates, resulting in high-contrast, sensitive patterns. This work emphasizes the multifunctional pertinency of the nanophosphors, signifying the possibility for anti-counterfeiting, forensic finding, integrated optics, optical communications, and solid-state lighting.
