“…[22][23][24] Basically, luminescence properties of phosphors depend on the type of activators and host composition; a homogeneous distribution of activator ions throughout the host material is needed to obtain high luminescence for advanced display devices. 25 To prepare phosphor powders satisfying the requirements listed above, a number of synthetic approaches such as sol-gel, [26][27][28] combustion, 29,30 polymer precursor, 31 glycothermal, 32 spray pyrolysis, [33][34][35][36] spray drying, 37,38 and hydrothermal methods 39,40 have been investigated. As a result, the powders produced have a wide variety of morphologies, including filled sphere, hollow sphere, nanorod, nanowire, nanoplate, core-shell, tube, and fiber structures.…”
