前驱溶液的pH值对制备Ca2Zn4Ti16O38 ∶ Pr3+,Na+ 发光粉物相、形貌和发光性质的影响

以钛酸丁酯、醋酸钙、醋酸锌、柠檬酸和乙二醇为原料,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备Ca₂Zn₄Ti₁₆O₃₈ ∶ Pr³⁺, Na⁺ 发光粉。研究了前驱溶液的pH值对溶胶-凝胶转变过程、发光粉物相组成、样品形貌和发光性质的影响。通过热重-差热分析(TG/DTA)、X射线衍射(XRD)分析、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对前驱物分解、发光粉物相和颗粒大小进行了研究。采用荧光光谱对材料的光谱性质进行了表征。研究发现前驱溶液pH ≤ 3时,所得发光粉样品为蓬松的、颗粒均匀的单相Ca₂Zn₄Ti₁₆O₃₈粉末,红色余辉时间较长;随着pH值增大,逐渐有杂质相TiO₂、CaTiO₃和Zn₂TiO₄生成,并且样品颗粒逐渐变大,颗粒团聚呈现不规则形状,余辉时间变短。结果表明,只有在pH ≤ 3条件下以溶胶-凝胶法制备Ca₂Zn₄Ti₁₆O₃₈ ∶ Pr³⁺, Na⁺ 发光粉下才能获得被日光有效激发,并呈现余辉衰减慢的红色长余辉(644 nm)发光。     

发光颜色可调的硅酸盐长余辉发光材料 Ba4(Si3O8)2∶Eu2+,Ce3+,Dy3+

在还原气氛下利用高温固相法制备了Ba_3.982-x(Si₃O₈)₂∶0.008Eu²⁺,xCe³⁺,0.01Dy³⁺系列样品。光谱分析表明,Ce³⁺进入到晶格中将取代不同Ba²⁺格位从而形成不同的发光中心。通过Ce³⁺→Eu²⁺的能量传递,得到了一系列发光颜色可调、余辉颜色为绿色的长余辉发光材料。Ce³⁺的掺入可以增大样品的余辉强度但是同时缩短了样品的余辉时间。热释光谱的分析表明,Ce³⁺的掺入可以同时增加浅陷阱T₁和深陷阱T₃的数量,深陷阱对载流子的再捕获效应导致了样品余辉强度的增大和余辉时间的缩短。     

新型近红外超长余辉材料Zn3Al2Ge2O10：Cr3+的发光性能

采用高温固相法制备了新型近红外长余辉材料Zn₃Al₂Ge₂O₁₀：Cr³⁺,利用X射线衍射、荧光光谱和余辉衰减曲线等对合成的样品进行了分析。结果表明：样品Zn₃Al₂Ge₂O₁₀：Cr³⁺是Ge⁴⁺取代ZnAl₂O₄：Cr³⁺尖晶石中的部分Al³⁺而形成的固溶体。在397 nm光的激发下,发射光谱主要由两个明显的窄峰叠加在Cr³⁺离子的自旋允许跃迁⁴T₂→⁴A₂辐射的宽发射带上。发光强度随着Cr³⁺离子掺杂浓度的增大和煅烧温度的升高而出现浓度猝灭及温度猝灭现象。当Zn₃Al_2-xGe₂O₁₀：xCr³⁺中的Cr³⁺离子掺杂量x为2%且煅烧温度为1 350 ℃时,样品的近红外发光及余辉强度最大。材料的余辉持续时间超过300 h,余辉发射谱峰位与荧光发射光谱中的N线一致,均位于697 nm附近。最后分析了煅烧温度对样品余辉性能的影响,并对材料的余辉机制进行了探讨。

Eu3+/Dy3+共掺Sr3Y2(BO3)4荧光粉的发光性质研究

稀土掺杂发光材料一直是科研领域研究的热点,被广泛应用于白光LED、温度传感、显示显像、新能源和激光等领域。基质的结构对于稀土离子光致发光特性有非常重要的影响,在众多发光基质材料中,硼酸盐具有透光范围宽、光学损伤阈值高、较好的热稳定性和化学稳定性等优点。碱土-稀土金属硼酸盐Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄具有出色的光学性能,对其发光性能的研究具有重要意义。稀土离子Eu3+具4f6电子层,是一种典型的下转换发光中心离子,常被选作红色发光材料的激活剂。Dy3+具4f9电子层,也是一种典型的下转换发光中心离子,在紫外光激发下,在蓝色光区和橙色光区有较强的荧光发射。采用高温固相法合成了Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄∶Eu3+/Dy3+荧光粉,通过XRD和SEM对样品的结构和形貌进行了表征,XRD结果表明,1 000 ℃烧结5 h,H₃BO₃过量20%为最佳制备条件,且少量的Eu3+和Dy3+掺杂并未改变Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄的晶格结构。SEM图像表明Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄基质的平均晶粒尺寸为2～4 μm,10%Eu3+单掺和5%Eu3+/5%Dy3+双掺样品与基质Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄的SEM图像相比,形貌和尺寸并没有发生明显的改变。Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄∶Eu3+荧光粉的发光结果表明,分别在395和466 nm激发下,浓度为5%,10%和15%的Eu3+单掺Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄荧光粉的主要发光位于593和613 nm的红光发射,峰强度随着Eu3+浓度的增加呈现先增加后降低的变化形式,掺杂浓度为10%时发光强度最大,说明存在浓度猝灭现象。色坐标结果显示,激发波长由395 nm变化到466 nm,Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄∶Eu3+荧光粉的发光颜色从橙红色向红色转变。引入Dy3+后,Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄∶Eu3+/Dy3+样品的发射光谱出现Dy3+的486 nm的蓝光发射（4F_9/2→6H_15/2）和576 nm的橙光发射（4F_9/2→6H_13/2）,并且随着Dy3+浓度的增加,对Eu3+的5D₀→7F_{1, 2, 3, 4}跃迁有抑制作用。色坐标结果显示通过调整掺杂离子Eu3+和Dy3+的比例可实现Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄∶Eu3+/Dy3+荧光粉的颜色从红色区域向橙色区域转变,说明其在显示方面具有良好的应用前景。

Synthesis and characterization of Sr3Al2O6：Eu2＋, Dy3＋ phosphors prepared by sol-gel-combustion processing

A type of red luminescent Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor powder is synthesised by sol-gel-combustion processing, with metal nitrates used as the source of metal ions and citric acid as a chelating agent of metal ions. By tracing the formation process of the sol-gel, it is found that it is necessary to reduce the amount of NO3- by dropping ethanol into the solution for forming a stable and homogeneous sol-gel. Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimeter Analysis, x-ray diffractionmeter, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are used to investigate the luminescent properties of the as-synthesised Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+, Dy3+. The results reveal that the Sr3Al2O6 crystallises completely when the combustion ash is sintered at 1250 C. The excitation and the emission spectra indicate that the excitation broadband lies mainly in a visible range and the phosphors emit a strong light at 618 nm under the excitation of 472 nm. The afterglow of (Sr0.94Eu0.03Dy0.03)3Al2O6 phosphors sintered at 1250 ℃ lasts for over 1000 s when the excited source is cut off.     

Photoluminescence and afterglow behavior of Eu, Dy and Eu, Dy in Sr3Al2O6 matrix

This paper reports the photoluminescence and afterglow behavior of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ in Sr₃Al₂O₆ matrix co-doped with Dy³⁺. The samples containing Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ were prepared via solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photo luminescent spectroscope (PLS) and thermal luminescent spectroscope (TLS) were employed to characterize the phosphors. The comparison between the emission spectra revealed that Sr₃Al₂O₆ phosphors doped with Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ and Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ showed different photoluminescence. The phosphor doped with Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ showed an intrinsic f-f transition generated from Eu³⁺, with two significant emissions at 591 and 610 nm. However, the phosphor doped with Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ revealed a broad d-f emission centering around 512 nm. After the UV source was turned off, Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ activated Sr₃Al₂O₆ phosphor showed excellent afterglow while Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ activated phosphor almost showed no afterglow. Thermal simulated luminescence study indicated that the persistent afterglow of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphor was generated by suitable electron traps formed by the co-doped rare-earth ions (Dy³⁺) within the host.     

Enhanced luminescent properties of long-persistent Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu, Dy phosphor prepared by the co-precipitation method

Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors were prepared by the (aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) co-precipitation method. Effects of synthesis temperature on the crystal characteristics, luminescent properties and afterglow performance of Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors have been discussed in detail and compared with the corresponding commercial product. The experimental results indicated that the sample could be synthesized at a relatively lower temperature and had better performance on the above-mentioned properties using the co-precipitation method.     

Luminescence in trivalent rare earth activated Sr4Al2O7 phosphor

In this paper we report the combustion synthesis of trivalent rare-earth (RE³⁺ = Dy, Eu and Ce) activated Sr₄Al₂O₇ phosphor. The prepared phosphors were characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. Photoluminescence emission peaks of Sr₄Al₂O₇:Dy³⁺ phosphor at 474 nm and 578 nm in the blue and yellow region of the spectrum. The prepared Eu³⁺ doped phosphors were excited by 395 nm then we found that the characteristics emission of europium ions at 615 nm (⁵D₀?⁷F₂) and 592 nm (⁵D₀?⁷F₁). Photoluminescence (PL) peaks situated at wavelengths of 363 and 378 nm in the UV region under excitation at around 326 nm in the Sr₄Al₂O₇:Ce³⁺ phosphor.     

The low temperature synthesis of Euand Dy activated Sr3Al2O6 nanophosphors by microwave method

The Eu²⁺and Dy³⁺ activated Sr₃Al₂O₆ (S3A2O-ED) nanophosphors were synthesized by a new microwave method. The S3A2O-ED sample calcined in microwave oven at around 650 °C for 20 min possesses a cubic Sr₃Al₂O₆ single phase. The sample showed small size (80–100 nm) and spherical shape. The excitation and emission spectra indicated that excitation broad band chiefly sited in visible range and the nanophosphors emitted strong light at 611 nm under around 473 nm excitation. Comparing with conventional method, the microwave synthesis of S3A2O-ED greatly decreased the calcining temperature and time. However, the brightness of S3A2O-ED nanophosphors was reduced. The change of luminescent intensity in S3A2O-ED nanophosphors could be attributed to the effect of surface energy.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Eu, Ce and Tb-activated Sr3La2(BO3)4 under UV excitation

The spectroscopic properties in UV-excitable range for the phosphors of Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:RE³⁺ (RE³⁺=Eu³⁺, Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺) were investigated. The phosphors were synthesized by conventional solid-state reactions. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra and commission international de I'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:RE³⁺ were investigated. The f-d transitions of Eu³⁺, Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in the host lattices are assumed and corroborated. The PL and PL excitation (PLE) spectra indicate that the main emission wavelength of Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:Eu³⁺ is 611 nm, and Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:Ce³⁺ shows dominating emission peak at 425 nm, while Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:Tb³⁺ displays green emission at 487, 542, 582 and 620 nm. These phosphors were prepared by simple solid-state reaction at 1000 °C. There are lower reactive temperature and more convenient than commercial phosphors. The Sr₃La₂(BO₃)₄:Tb³⁺ applied to cold cathode fluorescent lamp was found to emit green light and have a major peak wavelength at around 542 nm. These phosphors may provide a new kind of luminescent materials under ultraviolet excitation.     

Enhanced luminescence of Ca3B2O6:Dy phosphors by Na-codoping for LED applications

The Ca_2.95−yDy_0.05B₂O₆:yNa⁺ (0≤y≤0.20) phosphors were synthesized at 1100 °C in air by the solid-state reaction route. The as-synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence excitation (PLE), photoluminescence (PL) spectra and thermoluminescence (TL) spectra. The PLE spectra show the excitation peaks from 300 to 400 nm due to the 4f-4f transitions of Dy³⁺. This mercury-free excitation is useful for solid-state lighting and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The emission of Dy³⁺ ions on 350 nm excitation was observed at 480 nm (blue) due to the ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 transitions, 575 nm (yellow) due to ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 transitions and 660 nm (red) due to weak ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_11/2 emissions. The PL results from the investigated Ca_2.95−yDy_0.05B₂O₆:yNa⁺ phosphors show that Dy³⁺ emissions increase with the increase of the Na⁺ codoping ions. The integral intensity of yellow to blue (Y/B) can be tuned by controlling Na⁺ content. By the simulation of white light, the optimal CIE value (0.328, 0.334) can be achieved when the content of Na⁺-codoping ions is y=0.2. The results imply that the Ca_2.95−yDy_0.05B₂O₆:yNa⁺ phosphors could be potentially used as white LEDs.     

Effects of dopant concentrations on phosphorescence properties of Eu/Dy-doped Sr3MgSi2O8

Long afterglow Sr₃MgSi₂O₈: Eu, Dy phosphor with high brightness was prepared by sintering at high temperature and weak reductive atmosphere. The luminescent properties of this photoluminescent pigment were studied systematically by investigating concentration effects. The analytical results indicated that the main emission peaks appear at 482 nm. The excitation and emission spectra of this phosphor show that both of them are broadband. This is ascribed to the 4f⁷→4f⁶5d¹ transition of Eu²⁺ in the pigment matrix, which is in good agreement with the calculated value of 470 nm, and implies that luminescent centers Eu²⁺ occupy the deca-coordinated Sr²⁺ sites with the host of Sr₃MgSi₂O₈.     

Effects of non-stoichiometry and substitution on photoluminescence and afterglow luminescence of Sr4Al14O25:Eu, Dy phosphor

The effects of nonstoichiometry and cationic substitution on photoluminescence and afterglow characteristics of strontium aluminate phosphor (Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺) were investigated. Photoluminescence intensity of both the strontium-deficit and -rich phosphors was enhanced, but no definite correlation was observed between the afterglow intensity and non-stoichiometry. The photoluminescence emission maxima were either blue or green shifted in case of non-stoichiometric phosphors, whereas the afterglow emission maxima were not affected by the non-stoichiometry. Substitution of strontium by calcium resulted in white afterglow emission at higher calcium concentration. The emission centers in case of photoluminescence and afterglow emission appear to be different. Addition of silver significantly enhanced the afterglow intensity due to increased trap density.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of MZr2(PO4)3:Eu3+; Bi3+ (M=Na; K) phosphors

A series of new red phosphors, MZr₂(PO₄)₃:Eu³⁺; Bi³⁺ (M=Na; K), were synthesized using the solidstate reaction method, and their photoluminescence spectra were measured. The MZr₂(PO₄)₃:Eu³⁺; Bi³⁺ (M=Na; K) phosphors were efficiently excited by an ultraviolet (UV; 395 nm) source, and showed intense orange-red emission at 595 nm. Further investigation of the concentration-dependent emission spectra indicated that the MZr₂(PO₄)₃:Eu³⁺; Bi³⁺ (M=Na; K) phosphors exhibit the strongest luminescence intensity when y = 0.01 in NaZr_2(0:95−y)(PO₄)₃:Eu_0.10³⁺, Bi_2y ³⁺ and y = 0.09 in NaZr_2(0.95−y)(PO₄)₃:Eu_0.10³⁺, Bi_2y ³⁺, whereas the relative PL intensity decreases with increasing Bi³⁺ concentration due to concentration quenching. The addition of Bi³⁺ widens the excitation band of NaZr_2(0.95−y)(PO₄)₃:Eu_0.10³⁺, Bi_2y ³⁺ around 320 nm, which provides the useful idea of broadening the excitation band around 300–350 nm to fit the ultraviolet chip.
