Rare-earth (RE) doped binary and ternary fluoride nanomaterials are currently receiving the highest attention as phosphor materials due to their potential for a wide range of photonic and biophotonic applications.
Different synthesis strategies have been developed based on the crystalline phase, shape, size and morphology of host nanomaterials, including:
· Thermal decomposition
· Hydro/solvothermal method
· Co-precipitation method
· Microemulsion method
· Microwave assisted synthesis
· Sonochemical method
· Ionic liquid assisted synthesis
