Being added by H3BO3 as flux, the nanosize strong green phosphor Zn2SiO4: Mn2+ was prepared by an improved sol-gel method. The structure and the morphology of the samples were examined by XRD, UV-VL spectrophotometer and SEM. The photoluminescence properties were measured by fluorescence spectrometer. Results show that, when the samples were annealed at 850°C for 2 hours, the intensity of emission spectrum of the sample is not strictly followed the monotonically increasing with the increase of Mn2+ doping concentration. It appears in a fluctuated tendency with the increase of doping concentration. In the 4% Mn2+ doping concentration and annealing temperature 950°C, the most strong green emission spectrum can be obtained. The mechanism of luminescence properties of this kind of material is analyzed.

Chromium-activated ZnGa2O4 nano-sized phosphor powder was prepared by the Sol-Gel technique using citric acid as chelator, and the microstructure and luminescent property were studied. The host ZnGa2O4 belongs to the spinel structure and the ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ phosphor powder exhibited bright red emission band. The excitation bands with peak of maximum height at about 250 nm, 410 nm and 560 nm were related to the charge transfer (CT) of Ga-O, 4A2-4T1 and 4A2-4T2 transitions of Cr3+, respectively. Different quenching concentrations of the CT state and intrinsic excitation were discovered originating from different energy transfer schemes. Meanwhile, with the increasing of the calcining temperature the PLE spectrum exhibited an obvious blue-shift which is attributed to the enhancement of the crystal field.

Yttrium silicates Y2SiO5upconversion nanomaterials with different doping concentrations of praseodymium ion Pr are prepared by using a sol-gel method. X-ray diffractometer, SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and fluorescence spectrometer have been employed to test the crystal structure and upconversion luminescence performances. The results indicate that samples calcined higher than 950°C present fine crystal structures, of which Si-O-Si band at 757–1048 cm−1splits into three fine peaks. The crystal size of the samples calcined at 950°C and 1000°C is 29.1 nm and 66.7 nm, respectively. The luminescence intensities of the samples are increasing at first and then decreasing, with the increasing of the doping concentrations of 0.47%, 0.77%, 0.96%, 2.95%, and 4.93%. Nanomaterial sample doped 0.96% Pr emits the highest upconversion luminescence intensity of 6.43 × 106 cps and shows the best photodegradation performance for nitrobenzene wastewater. It demonstrates that too much of Pr doping concentration would result in quenching of the fluorescence. Nevertheless, as the degradation time expands, sample doped 0.96% Pr shows much faster increasing of photodegradation rate than samples of other doping concentrations and reaches to a high photodegradation rate of 97.14% in 6 hours for 10 mg/L nitrobenzene wastewater.

The Li+ co-doped Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+ films were prepared with sol-gel method and spin-coating technique. The effects of Li+ on the structure and luminescent properties of the films were investigated. The results show the grain size increased first and then decreased with the increase of Li+ doping concentration. The crystal size of particles composing the film got the maximum value when Li+ concentration took 4 mol%. As Li+ doping concentration increased, the optical transmittance of the Y2O3: Ho3+/Yb3+ film improved at first then reduced and got the maximum at 3 mol%. Excited with a 980-nm laser, there were two green emissions in the up-conversion emission spectra, one centered at 535 nm, the other at 550 nm, which ascribed to the 5F4→5I8 and 5S2→5I8 transitions of Ho3+, respectively. The up-conversion luminescence intensity also increased firstly and then decreased with the Li+ doping concentration increase, and got the highest value at 2 mol%.

Glass-ceramics phosphors were obtained by the introduction of the crystalline phase NaMg3Sc (MoO4)5:Eu3+,Tb3+ in the glass composition 8SiO2-20B2O3-5Lu2O3-31Bi2O3-36ZnO. The properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescent excitation spectra (PLE). The XRD patterns were indicated NaMg3Sc (MoO4)5:Eu3+,Tb3+ crystallize well with the novel structure type and were assigned to the triclinic phase (space group PĪ, Z = 6). Glass-ceramic phosphors are well-known and promising as solid electrolytes, laser, luminescent and other inorganic materials. Luminescent properties of the phosphors are performed at room temperature. The excitation spectra of Eu-doped phosphor present strong absorption at 300 nm and the sharp peaks in the 350-500 nm range. Under the 394 nm excitation, intense red emission peak at 616 nm corresponding to 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ is observed in the emission spectrum. The luminescence property indicates that the local symmetry of Eu3+ ion has no inversion center. The excitation spectra of Tb-doped phosphor by monitoring wavelength at 546 nm shows the intense broad band from 260 to 420 nm and the line at 234 nm, which is mainly attributed to charge-transfer band transition in MoO42- group, indicating the existence of energy transfer from MoO42- to Tb3+ in the Tb3+:glass-ceramic. The measured emission spectrum of Tb-doped phosphor has intense green emission at 546 nm corresponding to 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+, with λex=368 nm. The as-prepared phosphors may find potential applications in the field such as color displays, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and optoelectronic devices.

Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ powders were prepared using a sol–gel-combustion (hybrid) process with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and colloidal silica (C-SiO2) as Si sources. The effects of the silicon sources and preparation conditions on phase formation and luminescent properties were investigated. The B2S:Eu2+ powders synthesized with TEOS were composed of the irregular particles, whereas C-SiO2 was more conducive to uniform particle distribution for the Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ powders, leading to the enhancement of the emission intensity. The photoluminescence spectra of the synthesized powders exhibited broad excitation bands spanning 250 to 450 nm, and strong green-emission bands, whose intensities and positions were heavily dependent on the concentration of Eu2+ and Sr2+ substituted for Ba2+ in Ba2SiO4.
