The samples were calcined at different temperatures for 2 h in air. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The XRD results showed that the Zn Ti O3:Eu3+ phosphors doped with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions calcined at 600 oC were of single phase, which indicated that the Eu3+ ions had been successfully incorporated into the Zn Ti O3 host lattice and did not destroy the lattice structure of Zn Ti O3 host. The Raman spectrum, SEM and TEM also proved that the doping of Eu3+ did not change the lattice structure of hexagonal Zn Ti O3 host. The photoluminescence(PL) of Eu3+ ions with the main emission peak at 614 nm was observed to increase with Eu3+ concentrations from 0.5 mol.% to 2.0 mol.% and decreased when the concentration was increased to 2.5 mol.%. The decrease in the PL intensity at higher Eu3+ concentrations could be associated with concentration quenching effect.

文摘以钛酸丁酯、硝酸锌、乙醇和乙酸为原料,采用溶胶-凝胶工艺制备了纯净六方ZnTiO_3粉体.利用TG-DTA、XRD和FE-SEM等检测手段对前驱体凝胶的热分解、相变以及粉体结构和形貌进行研究.结果表明:ZnTiO_3凝胶前驱体热分解分3个阶段,第1阶段在262℃以下主要为有机物的分解过程;第2阶段为262~700℃,此时的粉体为非晶态立方相ZnTiO_3;六方ZnTiO_3相的生成发生在第3阶段700~900℃.获得纯净六方ZnTiO_3相的较为合适的工艺条件为:前驱体在60℃进行溶胶,然后在700~900℃煅烧2 h.
