We have developed a nanoparticle (NP) composed of a polystyrene-vinyl benzoic acid copolymer via one-pot emulsion polymerization. This NP anchors a Eu~(3+) complex with a 1,10- phenanthroline antenna ligand (PS-VBA-Eu-Phen). With only 15 mol % of the Eu~(3+) ion relative to styrene, this low-cost and readily scalable NP exhibits the characteristic luminescence of ligand-to- metal charge transfer from the Eu~(3+) complex. We determined the lifetime and the intrinsic quantum yield of the strongest ~5D_0 → ~7F_2 luminescence for the Eu~(3+) complex inside the NPs. The long lifetime of the luminescence ensures clear detection of the PS-VBA-Eu-Phen NPs in complex oil-based mud (OBM) and on mineral samples (cuttings) recovered from the OBM using time-gated emission measurement. This method effectively reduces the background emission from minerals or additives in the mud and promises potential applications of the NP as a tracer or tag for tracking downhole fluids and cuttings.
