Synthesis,crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of novel double perovskite La2CaSnO6:Eu3+red-emitting phosphors

A series of new double perovskite LaEuCaSnO(0≤x≤0.8)red phosphors were synthesized by traditional solid-state reaction.The phase,micro structure,photoluminescence(PL)properties,quantum efficiency,and thermal stability of the phosphors were investigated.LaCaSnOmatrix has a monoclinic double perovskite structure with space group P2/n.Under near-ultraviolet(UV)light at395 nm,LaEuCaSnOphosphors exhibit the most typical red emission peak at 614 nm,which corresponds to~5 D→~7 Felectric dipole transition of Eu.The optimum Eudoping content is attained at x=0.5,and the LaEuCaSnOphosphor shows a moderate quantum efficiency(32.3%)and high color purity(92.2%).Besides,the temperature-dependent spectrum of the phosphor was studied.The emission intensity of Euat 423 K decreases to 70.94%of the initial intensity at 303 K,and the activation energyΔE is estimated to be 0.232 eV,suggesting that the phosphors possess good thermal stability.The fabricated w-LED based on the phosphors has higher Ra(89),lower CCT(4539 K),and better chromaticity coo rdinates(0.371,0.428).These results prove that the Eu-doped LaCaSnOred phosphor has great potential applications in w-LEDs.

Laboratory investigation of emulsified asphalt binder modified with wood-derived nano-cellulose and nano paper-cellulose

Emulsified asphalt is the primary material for preventive maintenance and cold-mix paving,but its low cohesive strength and poor mechanical properties limit its wide application,even with polymer modification.In this study,Styrene-Butadiene Rubber(SBR)emulsified asphalt was modified with nano-cellulose materials,namely nano paper-cellulose(NPC)and wood-derived nano-cellulose(WDC),to improve its properties.A novel preparation method of nano-cellulose solution was developed,including blending,ultrasonic stirring,and centrifugal treatment.Four types of nano-cellulose solution(0.5%NPC,0.5%,1.0%,and 1.5%WDC by weight of water)were selected.The microscopy analysis indicated that 0.5%WDC emulsion had a smaller particle size than 1.5%WDC emulsion.The rheology test indicated that WDC modified residue improved rutting resistance with the increased solution dosage due to the cross-linking effect,but its creep-and-recovery performance was worse than that of SBR emulsion residue.The NPC modified binder had a higher rutting factor than WDC modified binder at the same dosage after short-term aging.In addition,1.0%WDC could be regarded as the optimal dosage in terms of fatigue and low-temperature performance.Furthermore,Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR)results showed that 0.5%NPC modified residue performed better in long-term aging resistance compared with 0.5%WDC modified asphalt.
