Highly intense, long persistent Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+,Dy3+ blue-green phosphor with different B3+, Eu2+, Dy3+, and Ag+ contents was prepared by solid-phase reaction at various temperatures in reductive atmosphere of 10% H2 in N2. The effects of synthesis parameters like calcination temperature and time, calcination environment, effect of stoichiometry of the host composition, and additives like addition of boron and rare earth ions (Eu, Dy) were studied in detail. Results revealed that the phosphor containing ~40 mol% H3BO3 showed dense and pure Sr4Al14O25 phase with higher emission intensity, but in the samples containing less than 20 mol% H3BO3 mixed phases consisting of Al2O3, SrAl12O19 and SrAl2O4 were observed, while in higher H3BO3 content, SrAl2B2O7 phases predominated. When the stoichiometry of Al/Sr was 3.7, the best phosphorescence and afterglow were noted. The phosphor containing 4 at.% of Eu and 8 at.% of Dy, and 3 at.% Ag exhibited the maximum initial intensity of 5170 mcd·m−2 and the longest persistency of greater than 30 hours over the value of 5 mcd·m−2, higher than the commercial products and applicable for various display applications involving indoor as well as outdoor uses.

Abstract KBaPO4:Eu2+/Sm3+ phosphor was synthesized via the high-temperature solid-phase reaction method. The structural properties, surface morphology, and optical properties of the synthesized samples were obtained by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fluorescence measurements. The XRD patterns indicate that the crystal structure of KBaPO4 has not been changed by co-doped with two rare-earth ions. Under the excitation of 400 nm, the Eu2+ and Sm3+ co-doped KBaPO4 phosphors showed typical emission peaks at 430 (blue), 562 (yellow), and 600 nm (red). Meanwhile, with the increase of the Sm3+ content, the photoluminescent (PL) emission intensity of Sm3+ increased until the content reaches 0.12. However, the PL intensity of Eu2+ ions gradually decreased, which indicated that there was a possible energy transfer between the two ions. Therefore, the obtained results indicated that Eu2+/Sm3+ co-doped KBaPO4 is a promising phosphor for the use in white light-emitting diodes with near ultraviolet chips.

Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+, Dy3+ long persistent phosphors with different B, Eu and Dy contents were prepared by solid phase reaction at various temperatures in H2/N2=1/9 atmosphere. X- ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy observations showed that, when the phosphor was doped with 40 at% B, single dense Sr4Al14O25 phase was formed but for the samples with less than 40 at% B, mixed phases containing SrAl12O19 and SrAl2O4 were observed while for higher B content (100 at%) SrAl2B2O7 phases appeared. The phosphor showed emission peak centered at 500 nm with blue green color. When 40 at% of H3BO3 was added and doped with 4 at% of Eu and 8 at% of Dy, it showed the maximum initial intensity of 3170 mcd.m-2 and the longest persistency which is greater than 20 h over value of 5 mcd.m-2.

Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were prepared by an in situ, solid-phase reaction, without any precursor, using FeSO4, FeS2, and PVP K30 as raw materials. The nanoparticles were utilized to decolorize high concentrations methylene blue (MB). The results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles was 18.52 mg/g, and that the adsorption process was exothermic. Additionally, by employing H2O2 as the initiator of a Fenton-like reaction, the removal efficiency of 100 mg/L MB reached ~99% with Fe3O4@C nanoparticles, while that of MB was only ~34% using pure Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The mechanism of H2O2 activated on the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles and the possible degradation pathways of MB are discussed. The Fe3O4@C nanoparticles retained high catalytic activity after five usage cycles. This work describes a facile method for producing Fe3O4@C nanoparticles with excellent catalytic reactivity, and therefore, represents a promising approach for the industrial production of Fe3O4@C nanoparticles for the treatment of high concentrations of dyes in wastewater.

In the present paper, the ZrB2/h-BN multiphase ceramics were fabricated by SPS (spark plasma sintering) technology at lower sintering temperature using h-BN, ZrO2, AlN and Si as raw materials and B2O3 as a sintering aid. The phase constitution and microstructure of specimens were analyzed by XRD and SEM. Moreover, the effects of different sintering pressures on the densification, microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrB2/h-BN multiphase ceramics were also systematically investigated. The results show that the ZrB2 was obtained through solid phase reaction at different sintering pressures, and increasing sintering pressure could accelerate the formation of ZrB2 phase. As the sintering pressure increasing, the fracture strength and toughness of the sintered samples had a similar increasing tendency as the relative density. The better comprehensive properties were obtained at given sintering pressure of 50MPa, and the relative density, fracture strength and toughness reached about 93.4%, 321MPa and 3.3MPa·m1/2, respectively. The SEM analysis shows that the h-BN grains were fine and uniform, and the effect of sintering pressure on grain size was inconspicuous. The distribution of grain is random cross array, and the fracture texture was more obvious with the increase of sintering pressure. The fracture mode of sintered samples remained intergranular fracture mechanism as sintering pressure changed, and the grain refinement, grain pullout and crack deflection helped to increase the mechanical properties.

In this paper we are reported about a peculiarity of the crystal structure and the magnetic state of TmFeTi2O7. The compound TmFeTi2O7 has been synthesizedusing the solid-phase reaction method. Using X-ray diffraction method the disorder in the distribution of the iron ions over five nonequivalent crystal sites was observed, also the populations of the iron atoms positions were determined. We show that below Tf = 6 K the magnetization of TmFeTi2O7 depends on the magnetic history of the sample. There are indications for spin glass state. This results allow us to assume the state of spin glass is realized below freezing temperature Tf = 6 K in TmFeTi2O7.
