N2 - BaTiO3:(5 %)Eu3+ nanoparticles and BaTiO3:(5 %)Eu3+@SiO2 composites were synthesized by the solvothermal method. The effects on the structure, morphology and luminescent properties were studied using samples with different molar ratios of BaTiO3:(5 %)Eu3+@SiO2: 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, 10:90, 08:92, 6.5:93.5, 05:95, and 1.5:98.5. When the amount of silica in the composites was increased, the orange emission of Eu3+ increased, too; this was observed by exciting the charge transfer band centered at 283 nm. Furthermore, an increase in the intensity of the emission was obtained under excitation at 394 nm as a consequence of the improvement in the crystallinity of the samples. The presence of silica and the degree of crystallinity of the samples were determined through the Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. All of the results suggest that our ceramic material could be a good candidate for biomedical applications such as biolabeling, since the luminescence of BaTiO3:(5 %)Eu3+@SiO2 composites have an emission intensity higher than that of nanoparticles composed solely of BaTiO3:Eu3+. This work demonstrates that BaTiO3:Eu3+@SiO2 composites have an emission intensity higher than that of nanoparticles composed solely of BaTiO3:Eu3+.
