摘要
Y 2O 3: Eu nanocrystals were synthesized by EDTA complexing sol gel process at a relatively low temperature, in which ethylen diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used as the chelating agent and polymerization agent respectively. Formation process of Y 2O 3:Eu and structure characterization were carried out by TG DTA, XRD, SEM/EDX. The results show that pure cubic phase Y 2O 3: Eu nanocrystalsere is produced after the precursor calcinated at 600 ℃ for 2 h, and the crystallinity increases with increasing calcination temperature. The nanoparticles of the Y 2O 3: Eu are basically spherical in shape. The mean particle size increases from about 30 to 70 nm when the calcination temperature increases from 600 to 1000 ℃. The luminescent properties of phosphor were analyzed by measuring the excitation and emission spectra. The main emission peak of the sample is around 612 nm, resulting in a red emission. The emission intensity increases with the calcination temperature. Compared with microsized Y 2O 3: Eu phosphors prepared by a conventional method, nanosized Y 2O 3: Eu synthesized by the present work, gives and a clear red shift in the emission spectrum. Moreover, the quenching concentration of Eu is raised.
