稀土Eu3+掺杂纳米TiO2-SiO2发光材料的制备和发光性质的研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了稀土Eu3+掺杂于不同比例的纳米TiO2-SiO2复合体系,研究了基质中钛、硅摩尔配比对发光性能的影响.样品的FTIR谱图显示:纳米复合氧化物SiO2-TiO2之间发生了键合作用,形成了Ti-O-Si键;TEM显示样品的颗粒大小约为35 nm,是具有一定的单分散性的球形颗粒;XRD和SAED结果表明,样品退火至700℃后仍为单一的锐钛矿相,这说明微量硅的加入对二氧化钛的锐钛矿相有热稳定的作用.当微量的Si4+进入TiO2的晶格,取代部分Ti4+的位置时,形成了结构等电子陷阱.通过对样品的激发光谱、发射光谱分析,发现这种结构有利于将基质吸收的能量传递到发光中心,使Eu3+的465nm处7F0→5D2激发效率最高,成为最灵敏的激发线.

Preparation and luminescence properties of nanomaterials TiO2-SiO2 doped with Eu3+

In the present paper, the samples of nanomaterials TiO2-SiO2:Eu3+ with different proportion of Ti/Si were prepared with the sol-gel method, and influence of the proportion of Ti/Si on the luminescence properties of samples have was studied. The structure of the samples was examined by FTIR, indicating that the compound TiO2 and SiO2 reacted, forming the new chemical bond of Ti-O-Si. The TEM of samples show that TiO2-SiO2:Eu3+ are sphericity nanoparticles with monodispersion and uniform size of 35 nm. The samples were still anatase phase after annealing at 900 degrees C, which was studied by XRD and SAED, suggesting that the bond of Ti-O-Si was conducive to the stability of anatase phase. There will be isoelectronic trap as Si4+ enters the TiO2 lattice replacing some of the Ti4+ position, and this structure is conducive to transfering energy and improving the transition of Eu3+ (7F0 --> 5D2), which were found by excitation and emission spectra.
