Abstract
Highly efficient IR-blue light up-converting NaYF4: Yb3+, Eu2+ phosphors have been prepared by a template-free hydrothermal method under mild and reductive experimental conditions. It has been demonstrated that for a fixed reaction time and temperature (150 °C/4 h), the α → β NaYF4 conversion can be accurately controlled by modifying the F/Y ratio. UC emission spectroscopy reveals that IR-blue light emission efficiency is greatly improved when β-NaYF4 phase predominates. Under the experimental conditions set in this work, reaching full α → β conversion just by increasing fluoride content entails the co-crystallization of the secondary phase YF3 1.5NH3, but far from causing a detrimental effect on the optical properties, it has been found that the samples where both β-NaYF4 and YF3 1.5NH3 phases coexist, exhibit outstanding optical properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society publishes scientific articles and communications describing original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials and glasses. The main interests are on novel generic science and technology establishing the relationships between synthesis, processing microstructure and properties of materials. Papers may deal with ceramics and glasses included in any of the conventional categories: structural, functional, traditional, composites and cultural heritage. The main objective of the Journal of the Spanish Ceramic and Glass Society is to sustain a high standard research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
