Different characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier trans- form infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV- Vis), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to examine the structural, morphological, optical, and thermal properties of the final product. Similarly, the comparative carbon dioxide (CO2)-sensing response of as-synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles by both routes was also reported. The CeO2 nanoparticles synthesized by solid state diffusion method exhibit good sensitivity (3.38 %) at room temperature, low operating temperature (398 K), fast response time (32 s), and recovery time (36 s) along with good stability.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and photoluminescence properties were investigated. The as-synthesized BaGdB9O16:Eu^3+ and Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16:Eu^3+(Ln=La, Y) phosphors showed strong red emission under ultraviolet light excitation. By partially substituting Gd^3+ by La^3+ and Y^3+ ions in the host BaGdB9O16:Eu^3+ materials, the maximum emission intensity was observed for the optimum composition of BaGd0.91La0.8B9O16Eu0.01 phosphor. The experimental results indicated that the Eu doped BaGdB9O16 and Ba(Gd,Ln)B9O16(Ln=La, Y) phosphors were promising red phosphors, which might find potential applications in near-UV excited LED lighting as well as display devices. Comparison of as-synthesized phosphors with standard phosphor used in CFL(compact fluorescent lamp) was also done. Energy transfer mechanism of Gd^3+ to Eu^3+ was also discussed in this paper.展开更多
