Preparation and characterization of a manganese activated zinc silicate phosphor by fume pyrolysis of an alkoxide solution [Zn2SiO4:Mn]

Novel microwave initiated synthesis of Zn2SiO4 and MCrO4 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb)

“…Zhang et al obtained smaller size particles by applying sol-gel synthesis followed by calcination at 850 • C [30]. Morimo et al and Kang et al have applied a spray-pyrolysis process to obtain nanoparticles of ␣-willemite which included high-temperature post-calcination steps [31,32]. In general, solid-state methods that use high reaction temperatures have found acceptance as the way to synthesize high quality ␣-willemite particles.…”

Combustion Synthesis of the Zn2SiO4:Mn Phosphor

“…In most of the studies solid-state reaction has been used for the synthesis. During recent years novel methods, such as concentration gradient uniform particle size (CGUPS) [17], sol-gel [18][19][20][21], hydrothermal [22,23], fume pyrolysis [24], spray pyrolysis [25], polymer pyrolysis [26], charge liquid cluster beam (CLCB) technique [11], etc., have been successfully employed for synthesis of Zn 2 SiO 4 : Mn phosphor. These syntheses yield phosphors with desired morphology, quite often at lower reaction temperatures.…”

Polymer-assisted sol–gel synthesis and characterization of Zn2SiO4:Eu3+ powders

“…When doped with transition metal ions of cobalt this material is used as blue pigments in ceramic industry [1] while doping with manganese ions provides long persistent green phosphor with main applications in lamps and CRTs [2][3][4]. However, the utility of this phosphor as green component for plasma display panels is limited due to long decay time of Mn 2+ emission [5][6][7].…”
