MWCNTs Loaded NaGdF4:Tb3+, Eu3+ Multifunctional Hybrid Nanocomposites with Magnetic, Multicolor Luminescence, and Thermal Properties

A novel multicolor luminescence-magnetic-thermal multifunctional hybrid nanomaterial has been successfully prepared by coating the NaGdF₄:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ nanoparticles on the surface of MWCNTs.The structure, morphology and composition of the samples were confirmed by XRD, SEM, and EDS spectrum.XRD patterns show that NaGdF₄:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ crystal is hexagonal phase, and the MWCNTs and NaGdF₄:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ are coexistent in the nanocomposites.SEM images indicate that the NaGdF₄:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ nanoparticles are close to spherical in shape and the sizes are relatively uniform with a mean diameter of 25 nm.They are successfully coated on the surface of MWCNTs.The luminescence, magnetic, thermal properties and biocompatibility were characterized by PL, VSM, HTC and MTT assay, respectively.Under the excitation of UV light, the as-prepared NaGdF₄:Tb³⁺ and NaGdF₄:Eu³⁺ exhibit strong green and red emission.The multicolor emission can be realized from green to red by adjusting the doped concentration of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions.The obtained products also present paramagnetic property at room temperature and photothermal transduction properties.In vitro cell cytotoxicity assays on Hep-2 cancer cells demonstrate that the nanocomposites exhibit low toxicity and good biocompatibility.Taken together, the multifunctional hybrid nanocomposites have preferably magnetism, luminescence and photothermal properties, as well as excellent biocompatibility, which have great promise applications such as biological labeling, photothermal therapy, bioimaging and so on.
