Abstract

Competitive incorporation of Eu3+ and Na+ ions into citric acid-passivated hydroxyapatite (Cit/HA) particles was investigated for improving the photoluminescence internal quantum yield (ηint). As a result, Eu3+/Na+-co-doped Cit/HA (Cit/HA:Eu/Na) particles were successfully synthesized to control the Eu3+ states inside/outside the HA structure. The optimum Na+ concentration would suppress the surface deactivation of the Cit/HA:Eu/Na particles, leading to the higher ηint value.
