The fluoride selective electrode, Monokrystaly 09–37 type, made of lanthanum fluoride single crystal (LaF3), was used as the indicating electrode combined with the AgCl electrode used as the reference one. The citrate buffer was used to maintain the required pH value demanding the linear relationship between the measured signal and log10 of the molar concentration of standard fluoride solutions. The standard fluoride solution of 1000 mg F∙L1 was prepared by dissolving 2.21 g sodium fluoride (Acros Organics) (dried at 80 °C) in the 1000 mL volumetric flask and making the volume up to mark with ultrapure water from the Milli-Q water system. The experimental solutions of desired concentrations were prepared by diluting the standard solution.

Nanoparticles
of NaGdF4-doped with Eu3+ and
Ce3+ were synthesized by the citrate method.28 (link) A transparent aqueous solution containing 4
mL of 0.2 M lanthanide chlorides (Sigma Aldrich, MO) and 8 mL of 0.2
M sodium citrate (Sigma Aldrich, MO) was heated to 90 °C. Sodium
fluoride (16 mL of 1 M) (Fischer Scientific, PA) solution was added
to the solution, upon which the solution turned whitish. The nanoparticles
were heated for 2 h. The nanoparticles were centrifuged and washed
twice before further measurements were carried out. As-synthesized
particles were heated in a Teflon-lined autoclave (Cole-Parmer, IL)
at 210 °C for 1 h to obtain hexagonal phase of the nanoparticles.
The pH studies were carried out by suspending 6 mg, 2.5 mg, and 2
mg of the nanoparticles obtained from three different batches in 1
mL of phosphate buffer silane with pH values ranging from 2.5 to 7.2.
pH buffers below 7.4 were prepared by adding small amounts of 10 mM
solution of HCl was used and the pH monitored by ORION 5 STAR (Thermo
Scientific, MA) pH meter.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
