The invention relates to a method for preparing
europium-doped
lanthanum fluoride porous nanospheres by using
herring sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (
DNA) as a template, and belongs to the technical field of nano material preparation. The method comprises the following three steps of: (1) preparing
mixed solution, namely dissolving Eu2O3 in
nitric acid, evaporating to obtain a Eu(NO3)3
crystal, adding deionized water and La(NO3)3.6H2O to obtain
mixed solution of La(NO3)3 and Eu(NO3)3 (the
europium nitrate accounts for 5 mole percent), and dripping
herring sperm DNA aqueous solution into the
mixed solution of La(NO3)3 and Eu(NO3)3 to form mixed solution of La(NO3)3, Eu(NO3)3 and
herring sperm DNA; (2) preparing LaF3:5 percent Eu<3+> precipitates, namely dripping NH4F
aqueous solution into the mixed solution to obtain the LaF3:5 percent Eu<3+> precipitates; and (3) preparing LaF3:5 percent Eu<3+> porous nanospheres, namely transferring the LaF3:5 percent Eu<3+> precipitates to a
hydrothermal reaction kettle, reacting at the temperature of 160 DEG C for 12 hours, performing
centrifugal separation on precipitates, washing by using absolute
ethanol, and performing
vacuum drying at the temperature of 60 DEG C for 24 hours to obtain the LaF3:5 percent Eu<3+> porous nanospheres with good
crystal forms and the
diameter of 40 to 70nm. The method is simple, practicable, economic and environmental-friendly, and has a wide application prospect.
