Abstract
The Phosphor Ba1-xMoO4:xEu3+ (0.00 ≤ x < 0.09) prepared by low-cost solution combustion method were in a space group of I41/a and crystalized in tetragonal phase. The intensity of photoluminescence was found to be maximum for the transition 5D0→7F2 (615 nm) at an excitation wavelength of 394 nm with CIE color coordinates (0.6525, 0.3471) making it a potentially useful substance for red phosphor materials. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) research has demonstrated that the decreased charge transfer resistance of Ba1-xMoO4:xEu3+ (0.00 ≤ x < 0.09) is responsible for their improved behaviour. When lithium was used as an analyte, Ba1-xMoO4:xEu3+ (0.00 ≤ x < 0.09) demonstrated improved sensitivity in cyclic voltammetry studies at various scan rates. Further, the use of Ba1-xMoO4:xEu3+ (x = 0.07) powder as a dusting agent in fingerprint applications suggest that nanophosphor-based techniques offer a promising advancement for non-destructive and high-resolution fingerprint imaging across diverse surfaces.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
