Resumo: | Currently the elements known as rare earths are the object of much research due to their unique properties, amongst them, the possibility of producing luminescent materials. However, the direct excitation of rare earths is inefficient due to its low molar absortivity, making it necessary to employ other species, called matrixes, which have the purpose of absorbing electromagnetic radiation and transfering energy to luminescent ions, forming nanocrystals. A virtually unexplored method for controlling the properties of this kind of material is the use of ionic liquids (IL), which modify the reaction medium and influence the particle size, morphology and crystalline phase, consequently altering the luminescent properties. Nanocomposites that combine those luminescent materials and mesoporous silica are of great interest as they provide better stability and resistence besides having the ability of adsorbing other species. This work aimed to prepare and characterize nanocomposites made from SBA-type ordered mesoporous silica and nanocrystals (sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4) and yttrium oxide (Y2O3)) doped with erbium and europium rare earths, using for the latter the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BMIBr), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIBF4), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DMIBr) and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (DMIBF4) in the reactium medium. The influence of the IL’s cations and anions on the properties of the material was studied, as well as the regular fluorescence phenomena (downshifting) in materials with europium and the upconversion phenomena in erbium doped samples preared with different matrixes, incorporated or not into SBA-15 (nanocrystal/nanocomposite mass proportion 0.2). It was possible to obtain luminescent materials for both matrixes, both with erbium and europium, even when incorporated into silica. Distinct morphologies were obtained for Y2O3 prepared with different IL, also resulting in different quantum yield for each morphology, although displaying the same cubic crystalline phase. For the composite prepared with BMIBr, the quantum yield was comparable to the unincorporated material. Obtaining a nanocomposite as luminescent as the pure crystal is interesting for its applicability, for its properties, stability and the possibility of its functionalization with drugs, allowing to track or photoactivate them in vivo using infrared excitation luminescence, as for the erbium doped material. |
