Enhancement of the photoluminescence and long afterglow properties of Ca<Subscript>2</Subscript>MgSi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>7</Subscript>:Eu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> phosphor by Dy<Superscript>3+</Superscript> co-doping

The Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺ and Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ long afterglow phosphors were synthesized under a weak reducing atmosphere by the traditional high temperature solid state reaction method. The synthesized phosphors were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The luminescence properties were investigated using thermoluminescence (TL), photoluminescence (PL), long afterglow, mechanoluminescence (ML), and ML spectra techniques. The crystal structure of sintered phosphors was an akermanite type structure, which belongs to the tetragonal crystallography. TL properties of these phosphors were investigated, and the results were also compared. Under the ultraviolet excitation, the emission spectra of both prepared phosphors were composed of a broad band peaking at 535 nm, belonging to the broad emission band. When the Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺ phosphor is co-doped with Dy³⁺, the PL, afterglow and ML intensity is strongly enhanced. The decay graph indicates that both the sintered phosphors contain fast decay and slow decay process. The ML intensities of Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺ and Ca₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors were proportionally increased with the increase of impact velocity, which suggests that this phosphor can be used as sensors to detect the stress of an object.     

Host-sensitized emission of LiInW2O8 wolframites: From red-Eu to white-Dy phosphors

The LiInW₂O₈:Eu³⁺, LiInW₂O₈:Dy³⁺ and LiInW₂O₈:Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction and their photoluminescence properties were studied. Under UV excitation, the LiInW₂O₈:Eu³⁺ phosphor exhibits an intense red emission whereas the LiInW₂O₈:Dy³⁺ and LiInW₂O₈:Dy³⁺/Eu³⁺ phosphors show a white emission. The WO₆ octahedra play a major role in the luminescence of the host lattice, characterized by a blue emission under UV excitation. The emission of activator ion results from an efficient energy transfer from the LiInW₂O₈ host lattice to the Eu³⁺ and Dy³⁺ ions. The LiIn_0.97Dy³⁺_0.03W₂O₈ and LiIn_0.965 Dy³⁺_0.03Eu³⁺_0.005W₂O₈ samples, optimized for white emission, are interesting candidates for solid-state lighting applications.     

Controlled synthesis and luminescent properties of Eu(Eu), Dy-doped Sr3Al2O6 phosphors by hydrothermal treatment and postannealing approach

In this work, Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors have been prepared by hydrothermal treatment and subsequently postannealing approach, using Sr(NO₃)₂, Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, and CO(NH₂)₂ as starting materials. The as-obtained phosphors were characterized by means of XRPD, FESEM, and PL techniques. In addition, many reaction parameters were studied in detail, including the initial mole ratios, hydrothermal reaction temperature, calcination temperature and calcination atmosphere. Remarkably, two scientific merits exist herein: Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors can be selectively obtained in a reducing atmosphere (H₂/Ar, 20%+80%) and in air, respectively; adding certain amount of sodium citrate can alter the shape and size of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors in essence. Besides, the luminescent properties of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺ (Eu³⁺), Dy³⁺ phosphors were studied by excitation spectra, emission spectra and decay curves.     

Vacuum Ultraviolet Excited Photoluminescence Properties of Y2O2S：Eu^3＋,Bi^3＋ Phosphor

As an Hg-free lamp using phosphor, the Bi^3＋ and EH^3＋ co-doped Y2O2S phosphors were prepared and their luminescence properties under vacuum ultraviolet（VUV） excitation were investigated. The VUV photoluminescent intensity of Y2O2S：Eu^3＋ was weak, however, considerably stronger red emission at 626 nm with good color purity was observed in Y2O2S：Eu^3＋,Bi^3＋ systems. Investigation on the photoluminescence reveals that the strong VUV luminescence of Y2O2S：Eu^3＋,Bi^3＋ at 147 nm is mainly because the Bi^3＋ acts as a medium and effectively performs the energy transfer process： Y^3＋-O^2-→Bi^3＋→Eu^3＋, while the intense emission band at 172 nm is attributed to the absorption of the characteristic ^1So-^1P1 transition of Bi^3＋ and the direct energy transfer from Bi^3＋ to Eu^3＋. The Y2O2S：Eu^3＋,Bi^3＋ shows excellent VUV optical properties compared with the commercial （Y,Gd）BO3：Eu^3＋. Thus, the Y2O2S：Eu^3＋,Bi^3＋ can be a potential red VUV-excited candidate applied in Hg-free lamps for backlight of liquid crystal display.     

Reduction of Eu to Eu in MAl2Si2O8 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) in air condition

In general, the reduction of Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in solids needs an annealing process in a reducing atmosphere. In this paper, it is of great interest and importance to find that the reduction of Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ can be realized in a series of alkaline-earth metal aluminum silicates MAl₂Si₂O₈ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) just in air condition. The Eu²⁺-doped MAl₂Si₂O₈ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) powder samples were prepared in air atmosphere by Pechini-type sol-gel process. It was found that the strong band emissions of 4f⁶5d¹-4f⁷ from Eu²⁺ were observed at 417, 404 and 373 nm in air-annealed CaAl₂Si₂O₈, SrAl₂Si₂O₈ and BaAl₂Si₂O₈, respectively, under ultraviolet excitation although the Eu³⁺ precursors were employed. In addition, under low-voltage electron beam excitation, Eu²⁺-doped MAl₂Si₂O₈ also shows strong blue or ultraviolet emission corresponding to 4f⁶5d¹-4f⁷ transition. The reduction mechanism from Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in these compounds has been discussed in detail.     

Photoluminescence of new red phosphor SrZnO2:Eu

SrZnO₂:Eu³⁺ has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its photoluminescence in ultraviolet (UV)-vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range was investigated. The broad bands around 254 nm are assigned to CT band of Eu³⁺-O²⁻. With the increasing of Eu³⁺ concentration, Eu³⁺ could occupy different sites, which leads to the broadening of CT band. A sharp band is observed in the region of 110-130 nm, which is related to the host absorption. The phosphors emit red luminescence centered at about 616 nm due to Eu³⁺⁵D₀→⁷F₂ both under 254 and 147 nm, but none of Eu²⁺ blue emission can be observed.     

Photoluminescence properties and application of yellow Ca0.65Si10Al2O0.7N15.3:xEu2+ phosphors for white LEDs

A series of yellow-emitting oxynitride Ca_0.65Si₁₀Al₂O_0.7N_15.3:xEu²⁺ phosphors with α-sialon structure were synthesized. The phase composition and crystal structure were identified by X-ray diffraction and the Rietveld refinement. The excitation and emission spectra, reflectance spectra and thermal stability were investigated in detail, respectively. Results show that Ca_0.65Si₁₀Al₂O_0.7N_15.3:0.12Eu²⁺ phosphors can be efficiently excited by UV-Vis light in the broad range of 290–450 nm and exhibit broad emission spectra peaking at 550–575 nm. The concentration quenching mechanism are discussed in detail and determined to be the dipole-dipole interaction. When the temperature increased to 150 °C, the emission intensity of Ca_0.65Si₁₀Al₂O_0.7N_15.3:0.12Eu²⁺ phosphor is 88.46% of the initial value at room temperature. White LED was fabricated with N-UV LED chip combined with blue Ca₃Si₂O₄N₂:Ce³⁺ and yellow Ca_0.65Si₁₀Al₂O_0.7N_15.3:Eu²⁺ phosphors. The color rendering index and correlated color temperature of this white LED were measured to 78.94 and 6728.12 K, respectively. All above results demonstrate that the as-prepared Ca_0.65Si₁₀Al₂O_0.7N_15.3:xEu²⁺ may serve as a potential yellow phosphor for N-UV w-LEDs.

A new efficient blue phosphor, Eu²⁺ activated SrZnP₂O₇, has been synthesized at 1000 °C under reduced atmosphere and the crystal structure and photoluminescence properties have been investigated. The crystal structure of SrZnP₂O₇ was obtained via Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. It was found that SrZnP₂O₇ crystallizes in space group of P2₁/n (no. 14), Z=4, and the unit cell dimensions are: a=5.30906(2) Å, b=8.21392(3) Å, c=12.73595(5) Å, β=90.1573(3)°, and V=555.390(3) Å³. Under ultraviolet excitation (200-400 nm), efficient Eu²⁺ emission peaked at 420 nm was observed, of which the luminescent efficiency at the optimal concentration of Eu²⁺ (4 mol%) was estimated to be 96% as that of BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇:Eu²⁺. Hence, the SrZnP₂O₇:Eu²⁺ exhibit great potential as a phosphor in different applications, such as ultraviolet light emitting diode and photo-therapy lamps.     

Synthesis and characterization of Eu3+/Dy3+ codoped composite phosphors SrAl2Si2O8/SrAlSi1/2O7/2 via a one-pot nitrate-gel process

Composite phosphors SrAl₂Si₂O₈/SrAlSi_1/2O_7/2 codoped with Eu³⁺ and Dy³⁺ were synthesized via a simple one-pot nitrate-gel process. The thermal decomposition process of the precursor is investigated by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The as-prepared Eu³⁺/Dy³⁺ codoped SrAl₂Si₂O₈/SrAlSi_1/2O_7/2 phosphors could yield blue (436 nm), bluegreen (486 nm), yellow (583 nm), and red (617 nm) lights under near-UV 380 nm excitation from a composite matrix produced by spontaneous phase separation during heat treatment of the precursor. Moreover, the effects of Dy³⁺ doping concentration on the structures, defect features, and luminescence properties of the composite phosphors were examined in detail.
