Hydrothermally-mediated preparation and photoluminescent properties of Sr3Al2O6:Eu3+ phosphor

Hydrogarnet Sr₃Al₂(OH)₁₂ (SAH) has been obtained from hydrothermal systems with a wide range of pH values under mild conditions. The influence of reaction conditions on the formation of various phases has been considered. The addition of sodium hydroxide can favor the yield of pure SAH phase. Stoichiometric Sr₃Al₂O₆ (SAO) has been prepared from SAH through thermal decomposition over 600 °C for 4 h. SAO can act as a red phosphor host with doping of Eu³⁺ ions. The Eu³⁺ ions as activators can be introduced directly under hydrothermal conditions before thermal decomposition.

Synthesis and luminescence of Sr3Al2O6:Ce3+ powders synthesized by solid state reaction method with addition of H3BO3

Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ powders were synthesized using a solid state reaction method in air with addition of H₃BO₃. The effects of Ce³⁺ dopant concentrations and the weight ratio (wt) of H₃BO₃ to total raw materials weight on the formation of Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ samples were investigated. Single-phase and well-crystallized Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ samples can be obtained when the addition of H₃BO₃ is lower than 7 wt%. The excitation spectrum indicates that Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ phosphor powders exhibit two excitation bands centered at 345 and 462 nm. The emission spectrum shows that Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ phosphor powders exhibit an emission band peaked at 536 nm when excited at 462 nm. Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ sample at the Ce³⁺ concentration of 5 mol% shows the strongest emission intensity. The addition of H₃BO₃ has obvious influence on phase and emission intensity of Sr₃Al₂O₆:Ce³⁺ phosphors. The results show that the Sr_2.95Ce_0.05Al₂O₆ sample with the 7 wt% addition of H₃BO₃ has the highest emission intensity and the longest lifetime.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of rare earth doped gamma-ray-irradiated GdCa4O(BO3)3 phosphors

Undoped and rare earth (RE = Ce, Dy, and Eu) doped GdCa₄O(BO₃)₃ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state diffusion technique. Formation of the sample was confirmed by taking X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the sample. Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectrum showed characteristic emission of RE doped in the GdCa₄O(BO₃)₃ sample. It is observed that doping of RE ion initially enhanced the TL yield, attained an optimum TL for a particular concentration of dopant (i.e., 0.5 mol%) then decreased with further increase in dopant concentration for all the samples. We found that Ce is the best activator for enhancing the TL yield in GdCa₄O(BO₃)₃ system. Fading of TL intensity of the sample was studied and it is found that fading of the TL is about 5% over the period of 15 days. The simple glow curve, linear response to γ-ray dose and less fading; makes the GdCa₄O(BO₃)₃:Ce(0.5 mol%) phosphors a suitable candidate for TL dosimetry.

Surface modified Al 2 O 3 in fluorinated polyimide/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites: Synthesis and characterization

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials consisting of inorganic materials and organic polymers are a new class of materials, which have received much attention in recent years. In the present investigation, at first, the surface of nano-alumina (Al ₂ O ₃ ) was treated with a silane coupling agent of $\boldsymbol{\gamma} $ -aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550), which introduces organic functional groups on the surface of Al ₂ O ₃ nanoparticles. Then fluorinated polyimide (PI) was synthesized from 4,4 ^′ -(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride and 4,4 ^′ -diaminodiphenylsulfone. Finally, PI/modified Al ₂ O ₃ nanocomposite films having 3, 5, 7 and 10% of Al ₂ O ₃ were successfully prepared by an in situ polymerization reaction through thermal imidization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the Al ₂ O ₃ nanoparticles were dispersed homogeneously in PI matrix. According to thermogravimetry analysis results, the addition of these nanoparticles improved thermal stability of the obtained hybrid materials.

Synthesis of rare earth hydroxycarbonate (LaOHCO3) nanocrystals with tuneable morphology and luminescence properties

Lanthanum hydroxycarbonate (LaOHCO₃) spheres were synthesized with an experimental investigation on the role of capping agent by using homogeneous precipitation method. The prepared LaOHCO₃ was analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TGA and photoluminescence (PL) to understand its formation. From the XRD spectrum, variation in the crystallite size, strain distributions, dislocation density and the number of unit cells in the crystal were obtained by using Debye Scherer’s relation, Williamson-hall and Stoke Wilson formula. From the results, various intermediate products and morphology were observed before the formation of LaOHCO₃ sphere if citric acid (CA) was used as a capping agent. In contrast, there is no intermediate product formation in the absence of CA. By using fluorescence spectrophotometry, the PL spectrum of LaOHCO₃ and the relation between crystalline size and emission intensity of the PL spectrum was studied in the presence and absence of CA with time. For both the cases, the emission was observed at the wavelengths of 420, 438 and 465 nm at excitation wavelength of 365 nm but the only variation in the emission intensity was observed due to change in the morphology and crystalline size of LaOHCO₃. In the absence of CA, the relation between emission intensity and crystalline size was directly proportional to each other with time. In contrast, the relationship of the prepared LaOHCO₃ with CA was contrary due to the variation in the morphology and crystalline size.     

Synthesis and characterization of Al-Zn/Al2O3 nano-powder composites

Composites consisting of Al-Zn/Al2O3 have been synthesized using high energy mechanical milling. High energy ball milling increases the sintering rate of the composite powder due to increased diffusion rate. Owing to the finer microstructure, the hardness of the sintered composite produced by using the mechanically milled nanocomposite powder is significantly higher than that of the sintered composite produced by using the as-mixed powder. The mean crystallite size of the matrix has been determined to be 27 nm by Scherrer equation using X-ray diffraction data. The powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The effect of high-energy ball milling and subsequent annealing on a mixture of Al and ZnO has also been investigated. DTA result show that the reaction temperature of Al-ZnO decreases with the increase in the ball milling time.     

Synthesis and characterization of Al2O3 catalyst carriers by sol-gel

The sol-gel method has been used to synthesize alumina powder with high surface area from boehmite. The characteristics of the final powder product have been systematically studied in light of the preparation method and starting materials by fractional factorial design. The results show that the type of precursor and pH of the precursor sol are the most important parameters for the textural properties of the calcined alumina powder. When the calcination temperature is increased the type of precursor loses its significance, while the pH still has decisive importance after calcination at 1000°C, on pore volume and surface area. There is also a significant combined effect of several parameters on the surface area and the pore volume. The electrophoretic mobility, agglomerate size and size distribution have been determined as a function of the pH for one type of boehmite sol. The relation between characteristics of the precursor and powder properties is clearly emphasized.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of CaAl2O4:Mn4+ phosphor

CaAl_2−yO₄:yMn⁴⁺ (y = 0–1.6 mol%) phosphors are synthesized by a solid-state reaction method in air, and their crystal structure and luminescence property are investigated. To compare luminescence property, CaAl_3.99O₇:1%Mn⁴⁺ and SrAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺ phosphors are also synthesized at the same condition. Broad band excitation spectra are observed within the range 220–550 nm, and emission spectra cover from 600 to 720 nm with the strongest emission peak at ∼658 nm owing to the ²E → ⁴A₂ transition of Mn⁴⁺ ion. The influence of crystal field to luminous intensity is discussed, and the possible luminous mechanism of Mn⁴⁺ ion is explained by using energy level diagram of Mn⁴⁺ ion. CaAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺, CaAl_3.99O₇:1%Mn⁴⁺, and SrAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺ phosphors under excitation 325 nm light emit red light, and their CIE chromaticity coordinates are (0.7181, 0.2813), (0.7182, 0.2818), and (0.7198, 0.2801), respectively. These contents in the paper are helpful to develop novel and high-efficient Mn⁴⁺-doped phosphor for white LEDs.     

Preparation, characterization and luminescence of La2TeO6 phosphor doped with Eu

Phosphors of La₂TeO₆ doped with Eu³⁺ ions have been synthesized by the oxidation of the corresponding rare-earths oxytellurides of formula La_2−xEu_xO₂Te (x = 0.02, 0.06, and 0.1) at 1050 K. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms that the as prepared materials consist of the orthorhombic La₂TeO₆ as main phase. The photoluminescence (PL) of red-emitting La_2−xEu_xTeO₆ powder phosphors is reported. The emission spectrum, exhibits an intense emission peak due to ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transition at 616 nm, which indicates that the Eu³⁺ ion occupies a non-centrosymmetric site in the host lattice. These materials could find application for use as lamp phosphors in the red region.     

Synthesis and characterizations of Dy3+ doped Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+ powder phosphors through citric acid precursor

Sr₃Al₂O₆:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors were synthesized by the polymer precursor method. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns show that the samples have a cubic structure with a space group of Pa3. In the excitation spectrum, the phosphors show a wide absorption in the UV region from 250 to 450 nm, which corresponds to the crystal field splitting of the Eu²⁺ d-orbital. All the emission spectrum of Sr₃Al₂O₆:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors show the broad band emission peaked at about 518 nm, which can be ascribed to the typical 4f⁶5d¹ → 4f⁷ transitions of Eu²⁺ ions. And the best dopant concentration of Dy³⁺ ions for Sr₃Al₂O₆:2 mol%Eu²⁺, xDy³⁺ phosphors is 2 mol%. The excitation wavelengths have no influences on emission peaks, but have clear influences on emission intensities.
