Abstract

Phosphors, which are luminescent materials, are commonly used in display panels, fluorescent tubes, and white LEDs. Phosphors are typically composed of solid inorganic materials composed of a host lattice doped with impurities. In this book chapter, we present a survey on luminescence measurements of varied rare earth ions such as europium (Eu3+), cerium (Ce3+), praseodymium (Pr3+), samarium (Sm3+), and dysprosium (Dy3+), transition metals (Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Fe), and composite-type doped SnO2 materials under SnO2 bandgap excitation and their excitation spectra. Photoluminescence is another exciting feature of SnO2 nanomaterials, and it has received a lot of attention due to its usefulness in optoelectronic devices, including UV-light emitting diodes and laser diodes. Based on the comprehensive evidence available, we want to review the role of SnO2 nanocrystals as efficient luminescence sensitizers. The influence of calcination temperature, dopant ions, and concentration on the luminescence of nanocrystalline SnO2 particles is also discussed. Low absorption and emission cross-sections, physical–chemical aggregation, and non-radiative relaxation processes characterize rare earth-based photonic systems. To overcome these problems, doping semiconductors with rare-earth ions, transition metals, and composite materials is preferred to achieve a better quantum yield. Synthesis techniques for SnO2-based phosphor nanoparticles are also discussed.
