Utilizing convenient electrospinning techniques, CaTiO 3 : Pr 3+ , SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ and CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 : Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ nanofibers with afterglow emission were fabricated. X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectrometry (Raman) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the composition and morphology of electrospun nanofibers. The results showed that calcined samples were super-long nanofibers with a diameter of hundreds of nanometres. Fluorescence and afterglow properties were investigated by spectrofluorometery, which indicated that CaTiO 3 : Pr 3+ , SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ and CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 : Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ nanofibers show characteristic red, green and blue afterglow emission. The electrospun nanofibers with afterglow emissions of the three primary colors are expected to be applied in the field of miniature lighting, biological markers, multi-wavelength photodetection, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
