Sol–gel pyrolysis and photoluminescent characteristics of europium-ion doped yttrium aluminum garnet nanophosphors

Effect of calcination conditions and precursor proportions on the properties of YSZ nanoparticles obtained by modified sol–gel route

“…[7,8], polymeric route using polyvinyl alcohol [9], sol-gel method [10], gel-combustion process [11]. All these methods present common advantages such as low costs, good control of stoichiometry, good mixing of the starting materials and good chemical homogeneity of the product.…”

Structural and optical properties of YAG:Ce3+ phosphors by sol–gel combustion method

“…It requires a high-temperature of 1600 1C and prolonged heating to obtain the pure phase. Various improved wet chemical methods, such as sol-gel [8,9], coprecipitation [10] and solvothermal [11] methods, have been used to synthesize YAG phosphors. These methods have advantages of fine homogeneity, high reactivity of starting materials and lower sintering temperatures.…”

Phase transition, structure and luminescence of Eu:YAG nanophosphors by co-precipitation method

“…Eu 3+ -doped YAG materials are promising phosphor candidates in cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), field emission display (FED), scintillation, vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs) and electroluminescent (EL) [1][2][3][4]. For phosphor materials, the purity of the host and the homogeneity of doped ions, which associated with the preparation processes [5][6][7][8][9], would strongly affect their optical characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to study its preparation processes in more detail.…”
