Abstract

A novel red‐emitting phosphor Ba 1.95 ZnSi 2 O 7 :Eu 0.05 3+ , B x 3+ was prepared by combustion synthesis and an efficient red emission under near‐ultraviolet (UV) was observed. The luminescence, crystallinity, and particle sizes were investigated using luminescence spectrometry, X‐ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The emission spectrum shows that the most intense peak is located at 614 nm, which corresponds to the 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition of Eu 3+ . The phosphor has two main excitation peaks located at 394 and 465 nm, which match the emission of UV and blue light‐emitting diodes, respectively. The optical absorption spectra of Ba 1.95 ZnSi 2 O 7 :Eu 0.05 3+ , B 0.06 3+ exhibited a band‐gap energy of 3.95 eV. The results showed that boric acid was effective in improving the luminescence intensity of Ba 1.95 ZnSi 2 O 7 :Eu 0.05 3+ , and the optimum molar ratio of boric acid to zinc nitrate was about 0.06. The phosphor Ba 1.95 ZnSi 2 O 7 :Eu 0.05 3+ , B 0.06 3+ synthesized by the combustion method showed 1.8 times improved emission intensity compared with that of the Ba 1.95 ZnSi 2 O 7 :Eu 0.05 3+ phosphor under λ ex =394 nm.
