Controlling the structure and morphology of micro/nanomaterials precisely enables us to manipulate their properties as desired. Therefore, understanding the complex growth mechanisms of micro/nanomaterials, and regulating and controlling their structure, morphology and related luminescent properties, are the focuses of chemistry and materials science. In this study, we hydrothermally synthesized three zinc borates with different structures and compositions, Zn(H2O)B2O4·0.12H2O, Zn2(OH)BO3, and H[Zn6O2(BO3)3], by adjusting the reaction temperature, and further prepared zinc borate, Zn(H2O)B2O4·0.12H2O, with three different morphologies by adjusting the pH of the reaction system. The possible growth mechanisms of these three zinc borate (Zn(H2O)B2O4·0.12H2O) morphologies are illustrated in detail. The luminescent properties of three different Tb3+-doped phosphors with different structures and Zn(H2O)B2O4·0.12H2O with three morphologies have also been investigated. Furthermore, the morphology–structure–property relationships have been discussed.

In this study, Zn4B6O13, Eu- and Tb-doped Zn4B6O13 phosphors were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method and the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The doped rare-earth ions had little influence on the crystal structure of Zn4B6O13, but obviously affected the morphology of Zn4B6O13 particles. The PL results indicated that the 5% Eu-doped sample and 1% Tb-doped sample had the highest intensity in their respective different concentrations doped samples. The CIE chromaticity coordinates indicated that Zn4B6O13, Zn4B6O13:Eu and Zn4B6O13:Tb showed the three basic colors of blue, red and green, respectively. Evidently, the white light could appear only at appropriate intensity of blue, red and green components.CIE chromaticity coordinates of Zn4B6O13 (a), Zn4B6O13: 5%Eu (b) and Zn4B6O13:5%Tb (c)Download high-res image (101KB)Download full-size image

Their thermodynamic parameters were also obtained by calorimetry method through an appropriate thermochemical cycle, showing that their thermal stabilities decreased gradually with the decrease of 2CaO·B2O3·H2O sizes. The flame retardant properties of the prepared 2CaO·B2O3·H2O nanomaterials were investigated by a non-isothermal decomposition kinetic method and limited oxygen index method. With the decrease of TG mass loss, the decrease of heat release for DSC, the increase of LOI values, and the increase of apparent activation energy Ea, the flame retardant properties of prepared 2CaO·B2O3·H2O samples are increased gradually from non-nanostructure to nanobelts then to nanoflakes, which may be ascribed to their sizes being decreased accordingly. The possible flame retarding mechanism has been proposed. It can be predicted that 2CaO·B2O3·H2O nanoflakes could serve as a potential flame retardant.Download high-res image (177KB)Download full-size imageCalcium borate 2CaO·B2O3·H2O nanoflake (b) and nanobelt (d) have been prepared and characterized.

Therefore, understanding the complex growth mechanism of micro/nanomaterials, regulating and controlling their morphology and related luminescent properties are the focuses of chemistry and materials science. In this paper, we have firstly prepared five different morphologies of zinc borate (Zn6O(OH)(BO3)3:Eu(III), ZBEu) phosphor by hydrothermal method, which were characterized by EDS, XRD, TG-DTA, FT-IR, SEM and TEM. Different morphologies of ZBEu were obtained via adjusting some of the reaction parameters, and the growth mechanisms of five kinds of morphologies were illustrated in detail. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis manifested that sphere-like ZBEu exhibited the strongest PL intensity in the five morphologies under the same doping concentration. The reasons why different morphology influences the PL intensity are also discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the influences of the doped Eu(III) concentrations and prepared time on the luminescent properties of ZBEu phosphor have also been investigated. The results indicate that Zn6O(OH)(BO3)3 could serve as a new good hydrated borate matrix for light-emitting materials.Five different morphologies of Zn6O(OH)(BO3)3:Eu(III) phosphor were prepared by hydrothermal method.

A novel monodisperse microsphere with a hole for Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3]:Eu3+ phosphor was controllably prepared by a hydrothermal method and was characterized by XRD, EDS, FT-IR, TG-DTA, SEM, and HRTEM. The influence of hydrothermal reaction time, temperature and doping concentration on the formation of Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3]:Eu3+ microstructures was investigated, and an ideal monodisperse microsphere of about 5 μm in diameter was obtained at 150 °C for 12 h with the Eu3+ doping concentration of 5%, which was self-assembled by nanoplates of about 150 nm in thickness. The crystal growth mechanism was proposed as a nucleation–dissolution–recrystallization process on the basis of time-dependent experiments. The influence of Eu3+ doping concentration and reaction time on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3]:Eu3+ phosphor and the corresponding Eu3+ preferential site occupancy have also been investigated. The results show that the Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3]:Eu3+ microsphere with a hole product exhibits both higher intensity and the highest R/O ratio under 245 nm excitation, so it can be used as a potential red luminescent material.

Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that MCP 1 features a 3D framework based on tetranuclear Zn(II) Clusters where the four zinc ions are coplanar, and shows an unusual binodal (3,10)-connected topology. Furthermore, the photoluminescent property of MCP 1 was investigated at room temperature.

The chemosensor exhibits high selectivity for Hg2+ over other ions (Ag+, Pb2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) with fluorescence enhancement in ethanol solution. More over the detection limit of the sensor is in the 10−6 M level. The binding ratio of RSP-Hg2+ complex was determined to be 1:1 according to the Job plot. Test strips based on RSP were fabricated, which showed the application of the sensor for detection of mercuric ions in water by naked eyes.

All samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TG–DTA, SEM and chemical analysis. The possible formation mechanism of calcium borate Ca[B6O9(OH)2] · 3H2O was proposed. Furthermore, the flame retardant properties of synthesized Ca[B6O9(OH)2] · 3H2O nanostructures were investigated by a thermal analysis method, demonstrating that the nanoflake sample with smaller size had better behavior than others. Molar enthalpies of solution of prepared Ca[B6O9(OH)2] · 3H2O samples were different because of their different morphologies and sizes. Through an appropriate thermochemical cycle, their standard molar enthalpies of formation were obtained, which decreased in turn from nanoflake to ellipsoidal-like nanostructure and then to flower-like microstructure, showing that their stabilities increased gradually with the increase of Ca[B6O9(OH)2] · 3H2O sizes.Ca[B6O9(OH)2] · 3H2O nanoflake has been prepared by an ultrasound-assisted phase transformation of ulexite in H3BO3 aqueous solution.

4CaO·5B2O3·7H2O uniform oval-like microspheres morphology has been prepared at 120 °C by a simple hydrothermal method with the help of the surfactant polyethylene glycol(PEG-300). The result indicates that 4CaO·5B2O3·7H2O oval-like microspheres are constructed by ladder-like layers, and each layer is made up of numerous densely packed nanoplates with the thickness of 50–100 nm and the diameter of several microns. The nanoplates in each layer are interconnected with the nanoplates in next layer, which leads to form the multilayered structural oval-like microspheres. The PEG-300 plays an important role in the formation of this oval-like microspheres morphology.
