Abstract: GdF3:Eu3+ luminescent nanomaterials with the morphologies of flat nanorods、nanoflowers and nanoflakes were prepared by PEG-2000, citrate acid and glycine as surfactant via hydrothermal method, the structure and properties were characterized. XRD results showed that the samples are all orthogonal phase GdF3. FESEM images indicated that morphologies varied from the kinds of surfactants. The effect of the reactant concentration on the morphology of the products using PEG-2000 as surfactant was studied, and the growth mechanism was discussed. Photoluminescence spectra showed that the luminescent intensity is different under different excitation wavelength. The effective energy transfer process occurred between Gd3+ and Eu3+ in GdF3:Eu3+. The strongest emission peak of GdF3:Eu3+ nanocrystal is near 591nm, corresponding to 5D0→7F1 magnetic dipole transition of Eu3+. The emission intensities are different from the samples with various morphologies.

Key words: GdF3:Eu3+, morphology, hydrothermal synthesis, luminescent nanomaterials
