Description

Fluorescent silicon nitride-based nanowire and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a luminescent material, in particular to a silicon nitride-based nanowire and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The one-dimensional materials including nanowires, nanotubes, nanorods and the like have a microscopic one-dimensional structure and a large specific surface area, so that the one-dimensional materials have wide application prospects in the fields of catalysis, environmental protection and assembly of other functional materials, and become one of main research hotspots in recent years. On the other hand, silicon nitride ceramics have been gaining wide attention over the last thirty years. In recent years, one hotspot of research has been silicon nitride nanowires. The silicon nitride nanowire has many advantages of silicon nitride ceramics, and has good elasticity and bending performance. Silicon nitride nanowires are excellent semiconductors, are excellent candidates for the fabrication of microelectronic and optical devices, and can serve as both working elements and connecting wires in the devices. Silicon nitride nanowires are required to have good optical properties in the design and assembly of miniature electronic and optical devices, particularly solar cells and photodiodes. The preparation and luminescence properties of pure silicon nitride nanowires have been intensively studied by technologists. In 2005, CN1699639A disclosed an alpha-Si3N4The solvothermal reaction process of preparing monocrystal nanometer line includes mixing SiCl in the molar ratio of 1 to 1.5-154And Mg3N2Mixing, sealing and reacting at 550-700 ℃ for more than 5 hours; the product is washed by acid and water, centrifugally separated and dried to obtain the silicon nitride nanowire powder. Research results show that the obtained silicon nitride nanowire can emit weak visible light under the excitation of deep ultraviolet light. The light emission mechanism is due to surface defects of the nanowires, which determines that the light emission is weak and uncontrollable.
Reports on silicon nitride-based nanowires with strong luminescence properties have not been found so far.

The rare earth metal ions are any one or two or more than two of Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, and the thickness of the boron nitride protective layer is 1-20 nm.
The preparation method of the fluorescent silicon nitride-based nanowire comprises the step of preparing alpha-Si by the prior art3N4The nano-wire powder is characterized in that the preparation process comprises the following steps:
(1) dissolving rare earth oxide with nitric acid to obtain a rare earth nitrate solution, wherein the molar ratio of rare earth ions to nitrate ions is 1: 4, and then filtering and evaporating to dryness to obtain rare earth nitrate powder.
(2) alpha-Si to be prepared by the prior art3N4Mixing the nano-wire powder with the rare earth nitrate powder, and dissolvingDissolving in alcohol water solution, dispersing for 5-30 min to obtain mixed slurry, wherein alpha-Si3N4The mol ratio of the nano wire to the rare earth nitrate is 1: 0.0002-0.02; the alcohol is methanol or ethanol; the volume solid content of the prepared slurry is 1-25 percent; the alpha-Si3N4The radius of the nano-wire is 10-500nm, and the length of the nano-wire is 200nm-1 mm.

Or,
(5) adding boron oxide or boric acid or simple substance boron powder into the dried powder, wherein the content of the boron oxide or boric acid or simple substance boron accounts for 0.1-3 wt% of the total weight; then heating to 1400 ℃ plus 1800 ℃ at the speed of 1-10 ℃/min in a flowing nitrogen and/or ammonia environment, and keeping the temperature for 2-6h to obtain the fluorescent silicon nitride-based nanowire with the surface covered with a boron nitride protective layer with the thickness of 1-20nm and rare earth metal ions contained in the crystal cell gap.
In the prior art, it is generally believed that silicon nitride nanowires can emit weak visible light under the excitation of deep ultraviolet light, but the application of the silicon nitride nanowires is greatly limited due to weak and uncontrollable light. According to the invention based on alpha-Si3N4Features of microstructure, i.e. alpha-Si3N4The nano-wire is arranged by Si-N chains in an ABCD mode, each unit cell has two large gaps, rare earth metal ions with optical activity enter the crystal lattice by utilizing the crystal lattice distortion of the surface of the nano-wire to form a solid solution of the metal ions, and therefore the nano-wire can emit bright fluorescence. The maximum luminescence wavelength of the fluorescence spectrum is 420-680nm, and the maximum excitation wavelength of the excitation spectrum is 250-450 nm. In addition, the fluorescence silicon nitride-based nanowire has the BN layer which is extremely stable in protection, so that the fluorescence quenching temperature is high, the luminous intensity is high, the material degradation and the luminance reduction are small when an excitation source excites, and the improvement is realizedThe service life is prolonged, so that the LED lamp is expected to be widely applied to the fields of microelectronics, optics, illumination and the like.
