Y2Zr2O7 (YZO) is widely used as a host material for luminescent centers because of its high stability and the ability to accommodate anion defects. In this work, the effects of Ce and Tb doping on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of YZO nanoparticles (NPs) are studied in detail to correlate the emission intensity with the dopant concentration. Herein, a two-step synthesis method of coprecipitation and molten salt was employed to prepare the YZO:Tb,Ce NPs. The single doped YZO:Tb (2 mol %) NPs shows a strong Tb3+ emission. However, after codoping with Ce ions, the Tb3+ emission is quenched instead of the expected sensitization. To identify the mechanism of quenching (oxidation state/local symmetry), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were performed. The Ce4+ ions were observed to drive further oxidation of Tb to a nonluminescent +4 oxidation state. Alternatively, Eu3+ was employed to probe local symmetry changes upon Ce doping. The asymmetry ratio of the magnetic and electronic transitions indicates that the Ce dopant also pushes the system into a higher symmetry, resulting in two separate quenching mechanisms.
