Abstract New luminescent nanoparticles with adjustable emission properties were synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate the effect of Ce³⁺ concentration on the tuneable emission properties of Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ co-doped gadolinium borates. The synthesized samples' comprehensive structural and morphological analysis was conducted utilizing X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. To obtain highly crystalline nanoparticles GdBO₃:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺/Ce³⁺ characterized by intense and bright emission, they were annealed at 525°C and 925°C. Under the excitation of 972 nm, the tunable yellow to green up-conversion emission was observed, while the Ce³⁺ concentration increased. This change correlated with a difference in the correlated color temperature from 4345K to 5442K, respectively. The untypical changes observed in the red-to-green (R/G) ratio, displaying a declining trend contrary to conventional expectations, allowed for the proposed mechanism for understanding their UC luminescence properties. The results obtained indicate that the Ce³⁺ doped GdBO₃:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ nanoparticles demonstrate high application potential for anti-counterfeiting.
