Abstract
Blue-violet and violet inorganic pigments, derived from SrZn2-xCox(PO4)2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and SrZn2-xNix(PO4)2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) solid solutions, were successfully synthesized via a solid-state reaction. The structure, color, optical properties, and potential applications of the synthesized pigments were systematically characterized. All pigments crystallized in a single-phase structure. Rietveld refinement analysis confirmed the successful substitution of Zn2+ by Co2+/Ni2+ in the lattice. Based on the XPS and UV–Vis–NIR analyses revealed that the coloration of Co2+/Ni2+ doped SrZn2(PO4)2 originates from d-d electronic transitions in a tetrahedral coordination environment. Compared to commercial purple pigments, such as Co3(PO4)2 and NH4MnP2O7, the synthesized pigments exhibit superior thermal stability and require lower cobalt or nickel doping levels. Furthermore, 2 wt% of these pigments were incorporated into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plastic to form blue-violet and violet composites, whose color and optical properties were systematically analyzed.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
