研究目的
Investigating the photoluminescence properties of Tb3+ doped ZrO2 nanoparticles synthesized by solution combustion method for application in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).
研究成果
Tb3+ doped ZrO2 nanoparticles synthesized by solution combustion method exhibit strong green emission under near UV excitation, making them promising candidates for green emitting phosphors in tricolor GaN based white light emitting diodes. The optimal Tb3+ concentration was found to be 5 mol%.
研究不足
The study is limited to the synthesis and characterization of Tb3+ doped ZrO2 nanoparticles. The application in WLEDs is suggested based on photoluminescence properties but not demonstrated in actual devices.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Solution combustion synthesis was used to prepare Tb3+ doped ZrO2 nanoparticles with varying dopant concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
High purity reagents were used without further purification. Samples were calcined at 1000 oC for one hour to enhance crystallinity.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Philips PW 1050/70 instrument for PXRD, Jobin Varian Cary 5000 spectrometer for UV-Visible diffusive reflectance spectrum, JEOL (JSM-840A) instrument for SEM, and F-4500 Hitachi fluorescence spectrophotometer for PL emission and excitation spectra.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The solution was thermally dehydrated in a muffle furnace preheated at 400 oC, leading to smoldering and formation of white powders.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Scherrer formula was used to calculate crystallite size from PXRD data. Wood and Tauc plot was used to determine the band gap from UV-Visible spectra.
