Title: Synthesis YPO4:Eu3+ Nanophosphor from Fungi

Journal Article · · Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1149/1.3322297· OSTI ID:1038498

Live fungi (zygo and asco) were cultivated and grown in an agar solution with a 2000 ppm concentration of Y3+ from YNO3 and a 20 ppm concentration of Eu3+ from EuNO3. When the fungi were grown to a good amount, they were collected, dried, and burnt at 1000 C for 2 h in air. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and optical spectroscopy experiments revealed that the product was nanophosphor YPO4:Eu3+ with a size of 100 200 nm.
