Description

Eu2+-Eu3+Codope fluoaluminate substrate fluorescent powder and its synthetic method and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to fluorescent material field.It is more particularly related to a kind of Eu2+-Eu3+Codope fluoaluminate Substrate fluorescent powder and its synthetic method and application.
Background technology
As global warming and energy crisis are increasingly serious, energy saving, reduction discharge, environmental protection turn into current The much-talked-about topic in epoch, wherein the lighting source for finding efficient, energy-conservation is subject to the extensive concern of every profession and trade worker.LED (Light emitting diode) is the abbreviation of light emitting diode, and be that 20 th century laters are invented and grown up is a kind of new Light source.LED has energy consumption low (only the 1/8 of incandescent lamp energy consumption), long lifespan (tens of thousands of hours), pollution-free (mercury-free), radiant light Spectrum is abundant, luminous efficiency is high, color reducibility is good, fast response time (in units of us) the advantages of, be widely used in referring to Show that lamp, signal lamp, display screen, backlight, industrial equipment, instrument and meter, landscape light in city, indoor and outdoor general lighting etc. are various Field, is regarded as the forth generation green illumination light source of substitution incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp and high-voltage gas discharging light by people.
Because white light is very close to daylight, more can preferably reflect the true colors of irradiation object, so white-light emitting Diode (White light emitting diode, abbreviation WLED) has great potentiality as lighting source.At present, obtain Taking the main path of WLED has three kinds:The first is using the principle of three primary colours and current three kinds of superelevation of fertile red, green, blue Brightness LED mixes white in the ratio of light intensity 1: 2: 0.38;Second is its pipe using super brightness InGaN blue leds Plus fraction of yttrium-aluminium-garnet it is the fluorescent material of main body on core, it can excite lower generation green-yellow light in blue light, and this green-yellow light White light can be synthesized with the blue light for appearing again, but due to its centre of luminescence Ce3+Be transmitted in red light portion critical shortage, cause white light LED product colour rendering is poor, it is difficult to meet low colour temperature illumination needs, is difficult to obtain below 4000K using the fluorescent material, is particularly The white light LEDs of the low colour temperature of below 3000K.This light is undue sombre on visual sense feeling, it is difficult to for room as lighting source Intraoral illumination, it is therefore necessary to reduce the colour temperature of LED.Additionally, when white light is as LCD backlight source produced by which, Display colour gamut is narrow, color reducibility is poor;The third be develop ultraviolet leds, using ultraviolet excitation three primary colors fluorescent powder or its His fluorescent material, the white light for producing polychrome to mix, its colour rendering can obtain larger raising, and this method realizes white light LEDs Main difficulty be to lack suitable red fluorescence powder.Therefore develop efficient red fluorescence powder turn into realize white light LEDs It is crucial.
Eu in rare earth ion3+With relatively good luminescent properties, it is red glimmering that it can launch, and monochromaticjty is good, quantum efficiency is high Light, it has also become one of main material glowed in red-green-blue.Eu3+Luminous intensity, fluorescence lifetime and transmitting peak width The property such as narrow is influenceed very big by matrix, so selecting suitable matrix, research mixes Eu3+Luminescent properties of fluorescent material afterwards, be Eu3+One of emphasis of luminescent material research.Fluoaluminate is the emerging family in phosphor, compared to other phosphors Material, its have it is cheap, matrix be free of rare metal Tb, Y, have the advantages that preferable chemical stability and mechanical strength.Summer Will state etc. has synthesized a series of adjustable fluorescent material Ca of new luminescent properties by high temperature solid-state method2Al3O6F∶Ce3+, Tb3+, Ca2Al3O6F∶0.08Ce3+, 0.05Tb3+Strong green emission is found to have, this is based on Ce3+→Tb3+Efficient energy Transfer, its energy transfer efficiency is more than 90%.In Ca2Al3O6Ce in F lattices3+→Tb3+Energy transfer mechanism be attributed to exchange Interact and Ce-Ce clusters formation, the reason for Ce-Tb clusters should be high-energy conversion efficiency.The critical distance of energy transmission Usable concentration is quenched method calculating.Kristin etc. has been synthesized fluorine oxide fluorescent powder and has been consolidated under reducing atmosphere by high temperature solid-state method Solution Sr1.975Ce0.025Ba(AlO4F)1-x(SiO5)x, by adjusting component x, maximum emission wavelength can be from green regulation to Huang Color, the photoluminescence quantum yield of some samples in synthesized series is confirmed as 70 ± 5%, and as x=0.5, sample has Good hot property, the 82% of room temperature strength is only dropped in 160 DEG C of photoluminescence intensities.Won-Chul Lee etc. are by height Warm solid phase method, has synthesized oxyfluoride Sr in reducing atmosphere3-xMxAl0.9In0.1O4F (M=Ca, Ba, 0.1≤x≤0.7) and Sr2.5M0.5Al1-yInyO4F (0.05≤y≤0.15) luminescent material, Sr3-xBaxAl0.9In0.1O4F (M=Ca, Ba, 0.1≤x≤ And Sr 0.7)2.5M0.5Al1-yInyO4The self-excitation dynamics photoluminescence spectra that F (0.05≤y≤0.15) defect causes can be clear Be detected, and with bright orange and yellow emission light.The fluorine oxide fluorescent powder excited near 365nm will be adapted to Conversion is excited near ultraviolet LED (NUV-LED).
In numerous fluoaluminic acid alkali, Ca12Al14O32F2It is a kind of good matrix, it has lot of advantages:(1) from purple The transparency range wide of outer 250nm infrared 800nm in;(2) lower refractive index, preferable chemical stability and mechanical strength; (3) fusing point is 1465 DEG C, there is good heat endurance and relatively low thermal coefficient of expansion;(4) to the luminous with quick of rare earth ion Change is acted on, and matrix with energy absorption and can pass to rare earth ion, and during this energy loss seldom, under burst of ultraviolel There is the luminous efficiency of stabilization.Due to Ca12Al14O32F2Ca in matrix2+With Eu3+Ionic radius closely (respectively 99pm And 95pm), according to radius matching principle, Eu3+Easily replace Ca2+And enter Ca2+Ion site, forms the centre of luminescence.Huang Kuanwei Deng once with Ca12Al14O32F2It is matrix, the Ca synthesized using high temperature solid-state method12Al14O32F2∶Eu3+Fluorescent material, its illumination effect Preferably, but reactant needs the grinding for a long time could be well mixed, and temperature is high, and power consumption is higher, and particle diameter distribution is uneven, reacts Not exclusively, and in product a small amount of original solid material is contained.This seminar is once synthesized using sol-gel process Ca12Al14O32F2∶Eu3+Nano red fluorescent material.
Due to by f-f transition choosing rule restriction, Eu3+Spectrum be in narrow wire, the intensity of spectral line is relatively low, is unfavorable for that absorption is excited Energy.But by Eu3+It is reduced to Eu2+Afterwards, because of Eu2+Outer electronic structure be 4f65d1, 5d tracks are exposed outside, easily by environment Influence, 4f can occur65d1The transition of → 4f7, this transition transmitting is in broadband, and intensity is higher, and fluorescence lifetime is short, emission spectrum Changed with matrix composition, the change of structure, and excitation spectrum is located near ultraviolet band, can solve Eu3+It is luminous to deposit Problem, so finding a kind of synthetic method by the Eu in fluorescent material3+It is reduced to Eu2+It is a kind of good approach.
