A simple scalable method to fabricate luminescent monodisperse 200 nm europium doped hollow TiO(2) nanoshell particles is reported. Fluorophore reporter, Eu(3+) ions, are incorporated directly in the NS matrix, leaving the surface free for functionalization and the core free for payload encapsulatio...
