“…An unusual blue phosphor Sr 2 CeO 4 was first prepared using the combinatorial techniques by Danielson et al in 1998 [5]. Since then, many advanced synthesis techniques such as Pechini's method [6], spray pyrolysis [7], emulsion liquid membrane system [8], ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-complexing process [9], microwave-assisted solvothermal process [10] have been developed to prepare the Sr 2 CeO 4 phosphor because of its efficient luminescence under ultraviolet, cathode ray and X-ray excitation [11,12].…”
