Abstract

A set of Ca2ZnSi2O7:Eu3+ and Ca2ZnSi2O7:Eu3+, Al3+ red phosphors were prepared by the solid-phase reaction method. With 394 nm as the excitation wavelength, all samples were characterized by two major emission bands around 618 nm (5D0→7F2) and 702 nm (5D0→7F4). Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+ phosphor exhibits the best luminescence intensity and its luminescent property is consumed enhanced by doping with Al3+. The quantum yield (QY) of Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+ and Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+,0.03Al3+ reaches 77.79% and 81.73%, respectively. In addition, Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+ and Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+,0.03Al3+ samples exhibit good photothermal stability. The color coordinates of Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+ are (0.641,0.358) with a color purity of 91.97%. Doping by Al3+ has little influence on the color coordinate and color purity of Ca2ZnSi2O7:0.03Eu3+. The above finding reveals that the prepared phosphors have great potential for application in indoor plant growth light illumination and other fields.
