Abstract

$Gd_2O_3:Eu/Bi$ nanoparticles were synthesized via spray pyrolysis and applied for the preparation of a luminescent pearl pigment as an anti-counterfeiting material. The luminescence properties were optimized by changing the $Eu^{3+}$ and $Bi^{3+}$ concentration. Ethylene glycol was used as an organic additive to prepare the $Gd_2O_3:Eu/Bi$ nanoparticles. The highest emission intensity was achieved when the total dopant content was 10.0 at.% and the mole fraction of Bi was 0.1. The concentration quenching was mainly due to dipole-dipole interactions between the same activators, and the critical distances were 9.0 and $19.6{\AA}$ for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Bi^{3+}$, respectively. The prepared $Gd_2O_3:Eu/Bi$ powder exhibited an average size of approximately 82.5 nm and a narrow size distribution. Finally, the $Gd_2O_3:Eu/Bi$ nanophosphor coated on the surface of the pearl pigment was confirmed to have good red emission under irradiation from a portable ultraviolet light-emitting diode lamp (365 nm).
