Abstract

Silica xerogels doped with Eu3+ ions and co‐doped with Eu3+ ions and CdS nanoparticles were prepared using a two‐step hydrolysis process. The effect of temperature on photoluminescence properties of Eu3+‐doped silica xerogel was investigated. The results showed that the photoluminescence of Eu3+‐doped silica xerogel was significantly dependent on the temperature of heat treatment. The study of the photoluminescence of co‐doped xerogels showed that the defect emission of silica was weakened due to competition among defects, CdS nanoparticles, and Eu3+ ions.
