研究目的
Investigating the synthesis, crystal structure, and photoluminescence properties of a new langbeinite-type phosphate compound K2Tb1.5Ta0.5(PO4)3 and its Eu3+-doped variants for potential applications in displays and lighting.
研究成果
The novel compound K2Tb1.5Ta0.5(PO4)3 was successfully synthesized and characterized, exhibiting a disordered langbeinite-type structure. Eu3+ doping enabled tunable multicolour luminescence from green to red via efficient energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+, making it promising for display and lighting applications. Future work could explore other dopants and device integration.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific Eu3+ doping concentrations (up to 10 mol%) and focuses on photoluminescence under near-UV excitation. The synthesis methods may not be scalable, and the phosphors' performance in actual devices was not tested. The disorder in the crystal structure required constraints in refinement, which might affect accuracy.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing K2Tb
2:5Ta5(PO4)3 using a high-temperature flux method for single crystals and a solid-state reaction for polycrystalline samples. Eu3+-doped samples were prepared similarly. Characterization included single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included undoped K2Tb
3:5Ta5(PO4)3 and doped K2Tb5–xTa5(PO4)
xEu3+ (x=
4:01, 03, 05, 07, 10). Raw materials were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Shanghai Limited Company. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Bruker SMART APEXII CCD diffractometer for X-ray diffraction, Rigaku DMax2500 diffractometer for PXRD, Carl Zeiss AG Merlin Compact SEM, Bruker V70 FT-IR spectrophotometer, Hitachi UH4150 spectrophotometer for UV-Vis, and FLS1000 Edinburgh Analytical Instrument for PL. Materials were K2CO3, Tb4O7, Eu2O3, Ta2O5, NH4H2PO
5:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
For single crystals, reactants were mixed, pretreated at 500°C, heated to 900°C, cooled slowly to 650°C, and washed. For polycrystalline samples, stoichiometric mixtures were calcined at 950°C with intermediate grindings. PL measurements used a xenon lamp for excitation and a flash lamp for lifetime measurements.
6:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using software like APEX2, SAINT, SHELXS97, SHELXL2014 for crystallography. PL decay curves were fitted with non-exponential functions, and energy transfer efficiency was calculated.
