Synthesis and the luminescent properties of NaAlSiO4:Eu2+ phosphor using SiO powder as a silica source

摘要

A yellow-emitting silicate phosphor, NaAlSiO4:Eu2+, was synthesized through a new reducing technique, using SiO powder as a silica source, during the preparation process. The addition of SiO powder as a silica source significantly enhanced the Eu2+ content, which led to an increase in the photoluminescence emission intensity of the NaAlSiO4:Eu2+ phosphor. The optimization of the composition resulted in obtaining the maximum emission intensity for NaAlSiO4:7?mol% Eu2+.
