One of the promising materials for converting X-ray radiation to optical radiation is BaGdF5 nanoparticles doped with ions of rare-earth elements. It is shown that solvothermal synthesis and a technique using microwave radiation lead to the production of BaGdF5:Eu nanoparticles with similar characteristics; however, when using microwave radiation, the time of the synthesis decreases by at least an order of magnitude. Microwave-synthesized doped BaGdF5:Eu nanoparticles are biocompatible and in terms of size (6–14 nm) meet the requirements for the subsequent preparation of nanocomposites based on them with the optical photosensitizers necessary for X-ray photodynamic therapy.
