Ultralong Ca2B2O5·H2O nanowires: water-bath pretreated eco-friendly hydrothermal synthesis, optical and rare earth-doped photoluminescence properties

A facile water-bath pretreated hydrothermal route is developed for ultralong Ca₂B₂O₅·H₂O nanowires (length: <230 μm) as a promising photoluminescent host candidate.

Facile hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical porous priceite (Ca4B10O19·7H2O) microspheres as high-efficiency adsorbents for heavy metal ions removal

A facile EDTA-2Na-assisted hydrothermal route is developed to synthesize hierarchical carnation-like Ca₄B₁₀O₁₉·7H₂O microspheres as high-efficiency adsorbents for heavy metal ion (Pb²⁺) removal from mimic wastewater.

Hierarchical γ-BaB2O4 hollow microspheres: surfactant-assisted hydrothermal formation, phase conversion, optical properties and application as adsorbents

A facile EDTA-2Na assisted hydrothermal route was developed for hierarchical γ-BaB₂O₄ hollow microspheres self-assembled from nanorods, with excellent thermostability and satisfactory performance for the removal of Pb²⁺ ions from mimic waste water.

Controllable hydrothermal synthesis of Eu3+/Tb3+/Dy3+ activated Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3] micro/nanostructured phosphors: energy transfer and tunable emissions

When Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions are co-doped into the ZBH matrix, the phosphor yielded tunable emissions. The concentration of rare earth doped can change the composition and further change the morphology and the luminescence properties.
