Abstract

Gd2O2S:Tb phosphors with different alkali-metal compound fluxes were synthesized by molten salt method, showing high luminous intensity, monodispersity and micron size characteristics. The results indicated that from K+ to Na+ and to Li+, the particles mean size tended to grow bigger. K+ could effectively reduce the particle size without depressing the luminescence intensity. Meanwhile, after comparing the strongest emission intensity among different fluxes, it was shown that K+ had most significance on improving the luminescence intensity. Li+ could promote the formation of hexagonal morphology. It was also found that CO3 2−, PO4 3− had prominent effects on optimizing particles size (at 254 nm excitation).
