Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Red Phosphors:Mn^(2+) Doped MgSiO_3 and Mg_2SiO_4 Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Sol-gel method was utilized to synthesize two different series of red silicate phosphors:MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 powder samples doped with Mn2+, conducted the investigation of red long-lasting phosphor: MgSiO3:Eu2+, Dy3+, Mn2+. TGA curves of the gel precursor for two series depicted that the loss of residual organic groups and NO3 groups occurs below 450 ℃. According to the XRD patterns, the major diffraction peaks of the MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 series are consistent with a proto-enstatite structure (JCPDS No.11-0273) and a forsterite structure (JCPDS No.85-1364) respectively. With the excitation at 415 nm, the red emission band of Mn2+ ions is peaked at 661 nm for MgSiO3:1%(atom fraction) Mn2+ or 644 nm for Mg2SiO4:1%(atom fraction) Mn2+. Compared with Mg2SiO4:Mn2+ samples, MgSiO3:Mn2+ samples exhibit higher luminescence intensity and higher quenching concentration. In addition, the two series co-doped with Eu2+, Dy3+, Mn2+ were also prepared. Photo-luminescence and afterglow properties of the two co-doped series were analyzed, which show that MgSiO3:Eu2+, Dy3+, Mn2+ is more suitable for a red long-lasting phosphor.

Synthesis and characterization of Sr_3Al_2O_6:Eu^(2+), Dy^(3+) phosphors prepared by sol-gel-combustion processing

A type of red luminescent Sr3Al2O6：Eu2＋, Dy3＋ phosphor powder is synthesised by sol-gel-combustion processing, with metal nitrates used as the source of metal ions and citric acid as a chelating agent of metal ions. By tracing the formation process of the sol-gel, it is found that it is necessary to reduce the amount of NO3 by dropping ethanol into the solution for forming a stable and homogeneous sol-gel. Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimeter Analysis, x-ray diffractionmeter, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are used to investigate the luminescent properties of the as-synthesised Sr3A1206：Eu2＋, Dy3＋. The results reveal that the Sr3Al2O6 crystallises completely when the combustion ash is sintered at 1250℃. The excitation and the emission spectra indicate that the excitation broadband lies mainly in a visible range and the phosphors emit a strong light at 618 nm under the excitation of 472 nm. The afterglow of （Sr0.94Eu0.03Dy0.03）3Al2O6 phosphors sintered at 1250℃ lasts for over 1000 s when the excited source is cut off.

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of(Y, Gd)(P, V)O_4:Eu^(3+), Bi^(3+) Red Nano-phosphors with Enhanced Photoluminescence by Bi^(3+), Gd^(3+) Doping

A series of(Y_(1-y), Gdy)_(0.95-x)(P_y, V_(1-y))O_4 :0.05Eu^(3+), xBi^(3+)+phosphors have been successfully prepared by a subsection method. The crystal structure, surface morphology and luminescence properties were investigated. It was found that the sintered samples crystallized in a tetragonal crystal system with space group I_(41)/amd(a = b = 0.7119 nm, c = 0.6290 nm). The products presented rod-like morphology with length of 100-150 nm and width of 50-100 nm. A maximum peak at 619 nm(~5D_0 →~7F_2) was observed in emission spectrum of the phosphors. It was also found that co-doping of Bi^(3+)+, P5+and Gd^(3+)ions into YVO_4:Eu^(3+)can not only made the right edge of the excitation band shift to the long-wavelength region, but also increased the emission intensity at 619 nm sharply and decreased the lifetime of fluorescence decay. These results may expand the application scope of the phosphors.

Luminescent Properties of (SrNa)_2-xEu_x(MoO₄)₃Red Phosphors Prepared by Using the Sol-Gel Process

A series of (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 red phosphors have been synthesized by using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction, used to characterize the crystallization process of the phosphor precursors, indicates that the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors had an SrMoO4 structure. The properties of these resulting phosphors have also been characterized by using photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The PL results indicate that all of the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors exhibit intense red emissions under 275, 395, and 465-nm excitation. The two strongest lines at 395 and 465 nm in the excitation spectra of these phosphors match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue GaN-based light-emitting diodes. Some process parameters for Eu3+ concentration, (C6H8O7)·H2O concentration, and solution pH value were also investigated. For (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors, there are two maximum emission intensities appearing with x = 0.6 and x = 1.4, respectively. When the molar ratio of citric acid is equal to that of metal cations and the solution pH is almost 4, (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 shows the strongest emission intensity compared to those under other conditions.

Luminescent properties of Ca_2SiO_4:Eu^(3+) red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu^3＋doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions： the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm （325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm） were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu^3＋. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of ^5D0-^7F2. In addition, the effects of the Eu^3＋ content and charge compensators of Li^＋, Na^＋, K^＋, and Cl^- ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.

The SEM photos and the photoluminescence spectrum excited under VUV show that the morphology and luminescent properties of this phosphor are satisfied when an appropriate amount of urea was adopted as the combustion agent in the preparation procedure.

Ca（NO3）2·4H2O, Eu（NO3）3 and H2C2O4·2H2O were adopted to synthesize CaO： Eu3＋ with the chemical co-precipitation method, and the effects of the calcination temperature and Eu3＋ doping concentration on the phosphor structure and its luminescent properties were investigated by TG-SDTA, XRD, and PL-PLE. The results confirm that the Eu3＋ ions as luminescent centers substi-tutes Ca2＋ sites without changing the crystal structure of cubic CaO. The optimum calcination tem-perature and the optimum concentration of Eu3＋ are 1 100 ℃ and 1 mol%, respectively, under which the best crystallinity and highest PL intensity appeared. The maximum emission wavelength is 592 nm （5D0→7F1） which is excited by xenon lamp with the wavelength of 200-280 nm, indicating that the Eu3＋ ion mainly locates in the symmetric position （Oh） in the crystal lattice of CaO.

Sr2ScAlO5：Eu^2＋, a red oxide phosphor with a perovskite-type structure, has been synthesized through a solid-state reaction and its luminescence properties have been investigated. An absorption band centering at 450 nm is observed from the diffuse reflection spectra and the excitation spectra, indicating that the phosphor can match perfectly with the blue light of InGaN light-emitting diodes. A broad red emission band at 620 nm is found from the emission spectra, originating from the 4f^65d-4f^7 transition of the Eu^2＋ ions. The best doping content of Eu in this material is about 5%. S Sr2ScAlO5：Eu^2＋ is a highly promising red phosphor for use in white light-emitting diodes.

Nanoparticles of red long afterglow phosphor Sr3Al2O6: Eu2+ were prepared by microwave irradiation method at a power of 680 W and a processing time of 15 min. The phosphors nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence spectrophotometer techniques. The results reveal that the samples are composed of single Sr3Al2O6 phase. The resultant nanoparticles show small size (80?100 nm) and spherical shape. The excitation and emission spectra indicate that excitation broad band chiefly lies in visible range and the nanoparticles emit much strong light at 612 nm under around 473 nm excitation. And the long afterglow phosphorescence of Sr3Al2O6 doped with Eu2+ was observed in the dark with naked eye after the removal of the excitation light. The effect of Eu2+ doping concentrations of the samples on the emission intensity is studied systematically. Furthermore, the microwave method requires a very short heating-time and the energy consumption.

Red phosphor,with longer wavelength,is highly desirable for full-spectrum WLEDs.Targeted deep red phosphors(Sr,Gd)Li(AI,Mg)_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+)were designed from the initial model of SrLiAl_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+)by structural modification.The correlations among structural evolution,crystal-field environment,and luminescence properties were elucidated.Replacing Sr^(2+)with Gd^(3+)in(Sr,Gd)LiAl_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+)leads to the enhanced crystal field splitting,larger Stokes shift,and increased structural polyhedron distortion differences,consequently resulting in spectral red-shift and broadening.For further spectral tuning,Mg,with lower electronegativity,was also introduced to modify the local crystal structure,consequently resulting in a further red-shift towards 675 nm and enhanced photoluminescence intensity in(Sr,Gd)Li(AI,Mg)_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+).What’s more,w-LEDs were fabricated by using blue LED chip,blue,green,red and deep red((Sr,Gd)Li(Al,Mg)_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+))phosphors whose color rendering index were Ra 96.0 and R997.7.All above results demonstrate that the partial replacements of Sr^(2+)by Gd^(3+)and Al^(3+)by Mg^(2+)are effective methods for spectral modulation and(Sr,Gd)Li(AI,Mg)_(3)N_(4):Eu^(2+)phosphors are suitable for highquality full-spectrum WLEDs.
