Synthesis and enhanced photoluminescence properties of red emitting divalent ion (Ca2+) doped Eu:Y2O3 nanophosphors for optoelectronic applications

This work presents the synthesis of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺,xCa²⁺ (x = 0 mol%, 1 mol%, 3 mol%, 5 mol%, 7 mol%, 9 mol%, 11 mol%) nanophosphors with enhanced photoluminescence properties through a facile solution combustion method for optoelectronic, display, and lighting applications. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the proposed nanophosphor reveal its structural properties and crystalline nature. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) results confirm the change in the shape of the particle and aggregation of particles after co-doping with Ca²⁺. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman vibrations also confirm the presence of Y–O vibration and subsequently explain the crystalline nature, structural properties, and purity of the samples. All the synthesized nanophosphors samples emit intense red emission at 613 nm (⁵D₀→⁷F₂) under excitation with 235, 394 and 466 nm wavelengths of Eu³⁺ ions. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra excited with 235 nm illustrate the highest emission peak with two other emission peaks excited with 466 and 394 nm that is 1.4 times higher than 466 nm and 1.9 times enhanced by 394 nm wavelength, respectively. The emission intensity of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺,xCa²⁺ (5 mol%) is increased 8-fold as compared to Eu:Y₂O₃. Doping with Ca²⁺ ions enhances the emission intensity of Eu:Y₂O₃ nanophosphors due to an increase in energy transfer in Ca²⁺→Eu³⁺ through asymmetry in the crystal field and by introduction of radiative defect centers through oxygen vacancies in the yttria matrix. It is also observed that the optical band gap and the lifetime of the ⁵D₀ level of Eu³⁺ ions in Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺,xCa²⁺ nanophosphor sample gets changed with a doping concentration of Ca²⁺ ions. Nanophosphor also reveals high thermal stability and quantum yield as estimating activation energy of 0.25 eV and 81%, respectively. CIE, CCT, and color purity values (>98%) show an improved red-emitting nanophosphor in the warm region of light, which makes this material superior with a specific potential application for UV-based white LEDs with security ink, display devices, and various other optoelectronics devices.     

Luminescence properties of Eu2+-activated Ca0.13Sr0.87Al2Si2O8: A bluish green phosphor for solid state lighting

Eu²⁺ activated phosphors with the composition of Ca₀₁₃Sr_0.87Al₂Si₂O₈ were synthesized by combustion technique. The luminescent properties of these phosphors have been explored by analyzing their excitation and emission spectra with the help of photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The phase-forming processes and presence of associated mode of vibrations of the phosphors were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) respectively. Under ultra-violet (UV) excitation, Ca₀₁₃Sr_0.87Al₂Si₂O₈ phosphors had broad emission spectrum between 418 and 550 nm in the blue-green region of spectra corresponding to 4f⁶5d→4f⁷ transition of Eu²⁺ ion. The results show Ca₀₁₃Sr_0.87Al₂Si₂O₈: Eu²⁺ is a promising host candidate for the phosphors and can be used for improving the efficiency and quality of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes.     

Effects of Y2O3 and transition-metal nitrates on phase,microstructures and PL properties of N-containing Ce2Si2.5Al0.5O3.5N3.5 melilite

N-containing Ce₂Si_2.5Al_0.5O_3.5N_3.5 (CeSiAlON) melilite was synthesized at 1550 and 1600 °C for 5 h from CeO₂, Si, Al, and Al₂O₃ in nitrogen by using Y₂O₃ and transition-metal nitrates (Co(NO₃)₂∙6H₂O and Ni(NO₃)₂∙6H₂O) as additives. The effects of Y₂O₃ and transition-metal nitrates on the phase, microstructures and photoluminescence properties of CeSiAlON melilite were studied. The incorporation of Y₂O₃ can promote the reaction of raw materials to a low degree, and results in a unit cell shrinkage of CeSiAlON due to the smaller radius of Y atom than that of Ce atom. The transition-metal nitrates can accelerate the reaction clearly and facilitate the formation of CeSiAlON fibers. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of CeSiAlON melilite presents a board violet emission band because of the 5d-4f transitions of Ce³⁺, and the additives can enhance the PL emission intensities of specimen significantly.     

Low-Temperature Densification Sintering and Properties of Monoclinic-SrAl2Si2O8 Ceramics

The dense monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics have been prepared by a two-step sintering process at a sintering temperature of 1173 K (900 °C). Firstly, the pre-sintered monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ powders containing small SiO₂·Al₂O₃ crystal phases were obtained by continuously sintering a powder mixture of SrCO₃ and kaolin at 1223 K (950 °C) for 6 hours and 1673 K (1400 °C) for 4 hours, respectively. Subsequently, by the combination of the pre-sintered ceramic powders with the composite flux agents, which are composed of a SrO·3B₂O₃ flux agent and α-Al₂O₃, the low-temperature densification sintering of the monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics was accomplished at 1173 K (900 °C). The low-temperature sintering behavior and microstructure evolvement of the monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics have been investigated in terms of Al₂O₃ in addition to the composite flux agents. It shows that due to the low-meting characteristics, the SrO·3B₂O₃ flux agent can urge the dense microstructure formation of the monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics and the re-crystallization of the grains via a liquid-phase sintering. The introduction of α-Al₂O₃ to the SrO·3B₂O₃ flux agent can apparently lead to more dense microstructures for the monoclinic-SrAl₂Si₂O₈ ceramics but also cause the re-precipitation of SiO₂·Al₂O₃ compounds because of an excessive Al₂O₃ content in the SrO·3B₂O₃ flux agent.     

Preparation and luminescence properties of orange-red Ba3Y4O9:Sm3+ phosphors

A novel orange-red emitting Ba₃Y₄O₉:Sm³⁺ phosphors were prepared by a high temperature solid-state reaction in air. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence spectra, fluorescence decay and temperature-dependent emission spectra were utilized to characterize the structure and luminescence properties. The results show that the excitation spectrum includes a series of linear peaks at 350, 367, 382, 410, 424, 445, 470 and 495 nm, respectively. Under 410 nm excitation, the emission peaks were located at 574 nm (⁴G_5/2—⁶H_5/2), 608 nm (⁴G_5/2—⁶H_7/2), 659 nm (⁴G_5/2—⁶H_9/2) and 722 nm (⁴G_5/2—⁶H_11/2), respectively. The concentration quenching occurs when x equals 0.08 for Ba₃Y_4–xO₉:xSm³⁺ phosphor and its mechanism is ascribed to the dipole–dipole interaction. The chromaticity coordinates of Ba₃Y_3.92O₉:0.08Sm³⁺ phosphor are in the orange-red region. The temperature-dependent study shows that this phosphor has excellent luminescence thermal-stability. And the luminescence intensity of Ba₃Y_3.92O₉:0.08Sm³⁺ phosphor at 473 K only declines by about 25.75% of its initial intensity. The experimental data indicate that Ba₃Y₄O₉:Sm³⁺ phosphor may be promising as an orange-red emitting phosphor for white light emitting diodes.

The crystal structure and photoluminescence properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectra. The emission spectra showed that the red emission peaks were located at 622 nm for Pr³⁺ and 615 nm for Eu³⁺, respectively. The optimal doping concentrations for Ca_1?xBi₂Ta₂O₉:xPr³⁺ and Ca_1?yBi₂Ta₂O₉:yEu³⁺ were x=0.02 and y=0.15, respectively. The effect of fluxes (H₃BO₃, NH₄F, CaCl₂ and CaF₂) and charge compensations (Li₂CO₃, Na₂CO₃ and K₂CO₃) on luminescent properties were investigated in detail. It was found that the relative emission intensity of Ca_0.98Bi₂Ta₂O₉:0.02Pr³⁺ with 10 mol.% H₃BO₃ flux was about 2.9 times higher than that of the sample without flux. The relative emission intensity of Ca_0.7Bi₂Ta₂O₉:0.15Eu³⁺, 0.15K⁺ was about the 2.1 times higher than that of Ca_0.85Bi₂Ta₂O₉:0.15Eu³⁺.

In this work, the Gd³⁺/Eu³⁺ activated Ba₃Y₄O₉ (BYO) phosphors were successfully synthesized via coprecipitation method at 1400 °C. The precursor composition, crystal structure stability, microscopic morphology, photoluminescence (PL)/photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and fluorescence attenuation analysis of the phosphors are discussed in detail. The chemical composition of the precursor was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetry (TG) analysis; According to field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis, it is found that the particle size of phosphor is uniform and the agglomeration is few. According to PL/PLE spectra analysis, Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors has the strongest excitation band at 260 nm and the strongest emission band at 614 nm, and the fluorescence intensity of Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ is higher than that of Ba₃Y_3.4Eu_0.6O₉. The quenching concentration of Eu³⁺ in Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ phosphors is x = 0.15 and the mechanism of quenching concentration of Eu³⁺ is electric dipole-quadrupole type interactions. The lifetime value of Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ (x = 0.15) phosphors is 0.686 ms and decreases with the increase of Eu³⁺ content. In addition, the CIE chromaticity diagram of Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors is (0.66, 0.34). Finally, the lamp beads assembled with Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors have an ideal luminous effect. Therefore, the Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ phosphors designed in this work may hopefully meet the requirements of various lighting and optical display applications.

Shape control over microwave hydrothermally grown Y2O3:Eu by europium concentration adjustment

Two-step synthesis of Y2〇3:Eu nanostructures was performed. It includes microwave driven hydrothermal and calcination stages. Performed route results in crystallization of Y4〇(OH)g(N〇3):Eu crystals initially, then Y2〇3:Eu crystals after calcination. Arranged Eu contents in relation to overall cation quantity were set to 2 mol%, 10 mol% and 20 mol%. Varying europium concentrations influence habit of obtained Y4〇(OH)g(N〇3):Eu crystals from needle-like to plate-like and as a result, also shapes of final Y2〇3:Eu nanostructures. Additionally, certain amount of Eu2+ ions was detected in as-grown material using laser spectroscopy and decay kinetics measurements. Obtained material was calcined at 1200 °C in the air, which results in oxidation of Eu2+ ions and crystallization of small number of cubic EU2 O3 nanocrystals. Characterization of obtained materials was performed using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, CL,Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy.     

Synthesis of Ba2CaZn2Si6O17:Eu2+ Phosphors: Synthesis,Microstructure and Luminescence Characteristics

In this investigation, Ba₂CaZn₂Si₆O₁₇:Eu²⁺ phosphor (BCZSOE) was successfully synthesized through the facile solid-state approach. Accordingly, spherical/commercial SiO₂ particles were used through synthesizing BCZSOE phosphors. The crystal structure and microstructure of the produced phosphors were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) instruments, while the luminescence properties of BCZSOE materials were analyzed by a photoluminescence (PL) analyzer. It was interestingly found that the use of spherical silica resulted in an uniform grain size distribution of BCZSOE phosphor in the range of 120–180 nm. In addition, the HRTEM images showed that the soaking time within the solid-state procedure was one of the most important parameters for the successful synthesis of BCZSOE compound. The luminescence emission spectra revealed that the use of silica spheres gave rise to the enhanced emission intensity than that of commercial silica particles. In addition, it was concluded that the emission bands at the wavelengths of 447 and 505 nm were due to the substitution of Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺ by Eu²⁺ ions, respectively.

To upgrade the electric properties of lead-free piezoceramics, (1–x)(Ba_0.98Ca_0.02Ti_0.94Sn_0.04Zr_0.02)O₃-xY₂O₃ (abbreviated as (1–x)BCTSZ-xY, x = 0 mol%, 0.02 mol%, 0.04 mol%, 0.06 mol%, 0.08 mol% and 0.1 mol%) ceramics were successfully synthesized by traditional solid-state sintering method. The phase structure and microstructure of ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and piezoresponse force microscopyeramics (PFM). The electric properties of ceramics were researched through piezoelectric, dielectric and ferroelectric test instruments. The results show that all samples have pure perovskite structure and favorable electric properties. The optimal electric properties which especially include superior ferroelectric properties are gained when Y₂O₃ content is 0.06 mol% (d₃₃ = 419 pC/N, k_p = 52%, T_c = 89.5 °C, ε_r = 26900, tanδ = 2.86%, P_r = 14.41 μC/cm², E_c = 1.8 kV/cm). Moreover, the temperature-dependent dielectricity of samples shows apparent relaxor behavior under different frequencies. The Curie–Weiss law further proves that all samples are typical relaxor ferroelectrics, and the relaxor degree of samples decreases with increase of Y₂O₃ content. In conclusion, Y₂O₃ plays a significant role in enhancing electric properties of BCTSZ ceramics.

A comparison research on replacements of Ba2+ by Lu3+ and Ba2+-Si4+ by Lu3+-Al3+ in BaSi2O2N2:Eu phosphors

As a cyan-emitting oxonitridosilicate phosphor,BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺can be used as a competent cyan compensator to improve the color rendering index of white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs).However,low luminescence efficiency and poor thermal stability of this type of phosphor seriously suppress its actual application in full-spectrum lighting.The replacements of Ba²⁺by Lu³⁺and Ba²⁺-Si⁴⁺by Lu³⁺-Al³⁺can greatly increase the luminescence intensity and improve the thermal stability at the same time.With Lu³⁺doping,the internal quantum efficiencyηIQE Ba_0.925Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺is 24.08%higher than that of Ba_0.97Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺.After Al³⁺co-doping,theηIQE is further increased by 10.31%compared to Ba_0.925Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺.When the temperature rises to 473 K,the luminescence intensity of Ba_0.925Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺maintains 62.32%of that at room temperature,which increases by 17.35%in relative to the Ba_0.97Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,while the luminescence intensity of Ba_0.925Si_1.97O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺,0.03 Al³⁺keeps 73.87%of the initial value,which increases by18.52%compared to Ba_0.925Si₂O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺.The mechanisms for luminescence and thermal stability improvement are proposed.The Ba_0.925Si_1.97O₂N₂:0.03 Eu²⁺,0.045 Lu³⁺,0.03 Al³⁺cyan phosphor,Y3 Al5 O12:Ce3+yellow phosphor and CaAlSiN3:Eu²⁺red phosphor are mixed thoroughly and coated on a blue LED(450 nm)to assemble a WLED.The WLED demonstrates a color rendering index(Ra)of 97.1 at150 mA,and the R1-R15 values are all above 90.The results indicate that as an effective cyan compensator in WLED,the BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺,Lu³⁺,Al³⁺phosphor has great application prospect in the field of full-spectrum lighting.
