Illuminating results : A novel microwave‐assisted synthesis in ionic liquids produces highly luminescent and dispersible LaPO 4 :Ce,Tb nanocrystals (see picture: ethanol dispersion of the nanocrystals in daylight (A) and with UV excitation (B)). This preparation method offers the possibility of synthesisindependent surface conditioning of the nanocrystals.
