Abstract
A silicate-based lanthanide ion doped material converts electromagnetic radiation energy of a longer wavelength of below 530 nm to electromagnetic radiation energy of shorter wavelengths in the range of 220 to 425 nm. The silicate-based material is a crystalline silicate material doped with lanthanide ions selected from praseodymium, gadolinium, erbium, and neodymium. For co-doping, at least two of the lanthanide ions are used. The silicate-based material is obtainable from a blend comprising salts and an organic solvent, followed by specific calcination processes and tribological impacts to adjust particle size and to increase the crystallinity of the particles. The silicate-based material can be used to inactivate microorganisms or cells covering a surface containing the silicate-based material under exposure of electromagnetic radiation energy of a longer wavelength of below 500 nm.
