Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of Sr₂Si₅N₈:Eu²⁺ nanoparticles synthesized using Spray Pyrolysis (SP) and Solid-State Synthesis (SSS). Through meticulous characterization, we found that the SP method significantly enhanced the morphological and optical properties of the nanoparticles. SP-produced nanoparticles demonstrated a 30% higher crystallinity and a 25% increase in luminescence intensity compared to their SSS counterparts. Additionally, the mesoporous structure characteristic of SP-synthesized particles exhibited a 15% greater surface area, measured at 124.7 m² g⁻¹, which contributed to improved light absorption capabilities. These attributes are crucial for the intended application of enhancing photosynthesis in greenhouse environments. The UV–Visible spectra confirmed that SP nanoparticles possess superior light conversion capabilities, with notable implications for optimizing light distribution to facilitate plant growth. This research highlighted the advantages of SP, including ease of scalability and enhanced optical performance, which are pivotal for agricultural applications. The study emphasized that the choice of synthesis method played a critical role in tailoring the properties of Sr₂Si₅N₈:Eu²⁺ nanoparticles for specific functional requirements in optical and agricultural technologies.

喷雾热解合成 Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ 纳米粒子，用于增强温室光合作用的光转换薄膜

本研究对采用喷雾热解（SP）和固态合成（SSS）法合成的 Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ 纳米粒子进行了比较分析。通过细致的表征，我们发现喷雾热解法显著提高了纳米粒子的形态和光学特性。与 SSS 法相比，SP 法生产的纳米粒子结晶度提高了 30%，发光强度提高了 25%。此外，SP 合成的颗粒所特有的介孔结构使其表面积增加了 15%，达到 124.7 m2 g-1，从而提高了光吸收能力。这些特性对于在温室环境中增强光合作用的预期应用至关重要。紫外-可见光谱证实，SP 纳米粒子具有卓越的光转换能力，对于优化光分布以促进植物生长具有显著的意义。这项研究凸显了 SP 的优势，包括易于扩展和增强的光学性能，这对农业应用至关重要。该研究强调，合成方法的选择在调整 Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ 纳米粒子的性能以满足光学和农业技术的特定功能要求方面起着至关重要的作用。

期刊介绍： Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures. A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.
