Phase- and Size-Controllable Synthesis of Hexagonal Upconversion Rare-Earth Fluoride Nanocrystals through an Oleic Acid/Ionic Liquid Two-Phase System

Herein, we introduce a facile, user‐ and environmentally friendly (n‐octanol‐induced) oleic acid (OA)/ionic liquid (IL) two‐phase system for the phase‐ and size‐controllable synthesis of water‐soluble hexagonal rare earth (RE=La, Gd, and Y) fluoride nanocrystals with uniform morphologies (mainly sph...
