At present, the main bottleneck that restricts the application of rare earth luminescent materials is the lower luminescence intensity of materials. Based on the unique local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of MoO3 − x, we developed new MoO3 − x / YF3 : Eu3 + composites with strong luminescence. The composites possessed stronger luminescent intensity than individually dispersed YF3 : Eu3 + , exhibiting the MoO3 − x / YF3 : Eu3 + composites, which could be used as highly efficient imaging materials. It is proposed that the ultraviolet-excited LSPR of MoO3 − x is the primary reason for the enhanced luminescence of YF3 : Eu3 + . Meanwhile, the plasmon-enhanced luminescence can be partly absorbed by the MoO3 − x particles to re-excite its higher energy electrons, thus leading to the selective boost luminescence intensity of MoO3 − x / YF3 : Eu3 + composites. We give insight on the development of plasmon-sensitized luminescence materials. |
