Eu:Y2O3 nano-phosphor prepared by novel energy-saving solution combustion method

Well-dispersed Nd:Y2O3nanopowders fabricated by a modified solution-combustion method

“…Communicated by Dr. George W. Taylor by this method also have fine grain size, narrow size distribution, and homogeneously doped Nd 3+ ion. In combustion method, the precursor undergoes dehydration and combustion for a short period of time without an external heat source, producing a large amount of gas and heat from the exothermic reaction between the metal nitrates and fuel, resulting in well-dispersed powders [14,15]. Hence, the combustion method is very suitable for preparing Nd:Y 2 O 3 powders.…”

Y2O3:Eu3+ hexagonal microprisms: Fast microwave synthesis and photoluminescence properties

“…In recent years, the morphology-controlled synthesis of Y 2 O 3 and doped Y 2 O 3 has drawn intensive interest. A variety of methods, such as gas-phase condensation [16], coprecipitation method [17], electrochemical synthesis [18], sol-gel [19], pyrolysis [20], solid-to liquid-phase chemical route [21], combustion method [22], and hydrothermal/solvothermal method [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], have been employed to tailor the morphology and size of Y 2 O 3 and doped Y 2 O 3 . To date, various morphologies of Y 2 O 3 and doped Y 2 O 3 such as nanotubes [18,23], nanowires or nanorods [4,24], hollow microspheres [20,25], nanobelts [21], nanodisks [26], trilobal microprisms [27], nano/micro-sheets [24], microspheres [28], have been prepared.…”

Synthesis and photoluminescence improvement of monodispersed Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ nanophosphors

“…Recently, much research has been focused on the various interesting applications of nano-sized phosphors [1][2][3]. It is highly desirable to develop nanoscaled monodispersed particles to improve the dispersion and luminescence properties of related phosphors [4][5][6].…”
