Abstract
At present, rare earth elements are widely used in various industries. In this paper, luminescent rare earth complexes are taken as a starting point to explore the luminescence principles of several important rare earth elements. The commonly used synthesis methods of luminescent rare earth complexes in recent year are also summarized, mainly including co-precipitation method, high temperature solid phase method, sol-gel method and hydrothermal synthesis method. And prospects for the future research on luminescent rare earth complexes are made.
Keywords: Rare earth complexes, luminescence materials, synthesis method, light emitting diodes.
