Abstract

Electron trapping materials SrSO4:Eu2+ with various sizes and shapes were prepared by hydrothermal method with the assistance of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (3) ether (AEO-3) aqueous solution. Changing the molar ratios of [Sr2+]/[SO4 2−], the dendrites varied from needle, rod to octagonal and hexagonal disk architectures with sizes about 500 nm–4 μm width and 4–10 μm length. The growth mechanics of the particles was discussed to obtain a better understanding on their formation process. In the photoluminescence property investigations of SrSO4:Eu2+, the observed broadband was well identified with the electronic transition configurations of Eu2+. The thermal stability and electron trapping luminescence properties were also characterized.
