The novel nitride-based luminescent materials have received much attention since the end of the last century. In this paper, the commercial Eu2＋-activated nitride red phosphors, Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05, Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15 and Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01 phosphors were an-nealed at different temperatures （beyond 300 oC） to investigate the dependence of their luminescence performance and structure vari-ability on the temperature. By photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calo-rimetry （TG-DSC） analysis, the high temperature stability of the hosts and activator of the three samples were disclosed. With the an-nealing temperature increasing, the activator Eu2＋ions were firstly oxidized and then host in Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05 and Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15, but for Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01, only the oxidation of the host could be observed, which would lead to the luminescence degradation and even failure of these phosphors. The activator Eu2＋ions were much more stable in CaAlSiN3：Eu than Sr2Si5N8：Eu due to their crystal surroundings, and its concentration also influenced the temperature stability of Sr2Si5N8：Eu.
Green emitting Eu^2＋ doped（CaxSr（1–x））6Si（25.6）Al（6.4）N（41.6）O（4.4） phosphors with x value ranging from 0 to 0.1 were synthesized by the solid state reaction method under nitrogen atmosphere.The X-ray diffraction（XRD）patterns of the phosphors with different Ca^2＋ concentrations indicated that pure sialon phases were obtained.Crystal structure of these sialon phases was estimated to be a commensurate composite network stacking by two different types of layers.Intense and tunable green emissions with a slight red shift from 515 to 520 nm were observed with varying Ca/Sr ratios.The emission intensity decreased gradually because of the increase of the crystal splitting effect.Thermal quenching properties of the phosphors with different Ca^2＋ saturation were also discussed.The thermal stability became worse as more Ca^2＋ ions substituted for Sr^2＋ ions according to a larger Stokes shift.The solid solution phosphors could be a promising candidate for white LEDs for their interesting photoluminescence properties when the thermal stability would be improved.
The efficient Eu2＋ -doped Ba3 Si6O12N2 green phosphors were prepared by a traditional solid state reaction method under N2 /H2 atmosphere at a temperature up to 1350 ℃ for 12h. Photoluminescence （PL） properties showed a broad emission band with a peak of 525 nm and the full width of half-emission maximums （FWHM） of 70 nm under 460 nm light irradiation. The X-ray diffraction patterns （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （SEM） images of the synthesized powder demonstrated its pure phase and excellent crystallization. Quenching concentration in this phosphor was found to be 0.3. The mechanisms of concentration quenching and redshift of emission peak with increasing concentration of Eu2＋ were studied. The temperature dependence measurement of this green phosphor revealed excellent thermal quenching property compared to silicate green phosphor. It is believed that Ba3 Si6O12N2 ：Eu2＋ is an excellent green phosphor for UV or blue chip based white LEDs.
采用高温固相法合成Ca取代Sr3Al0.6Si0.4O4.4F0.6∶Ce3+中Sr的Sr3-x Ca x Al0.6Si0.4O4.4F0.6∶Ce3+荧光粉。由于Sr3Al0.6Si0.4O4.4F0.6∶Ce3+中Sr具有十配位Sr(1)和八配位Sr(2),所以激活剂离子Ce3+也具有两个不同的占位。结合Ce3+的光谱结果和Van Uitert经验公式,分别研究了十配位Ce(1)3+和八配位Ce(2)3+的猝灭浓度和荧光寿命,指出是由于Ca的掺入减小了Ce(1)3+发光中心,增加了Ce(2)3+发光中心,从而出现随着Ca/Sr比增加,样品在400 nm激发下发光强度减小,而在460 nm激发下发光强度增大的现象。同时,Ca的掺入增强了粉体发光的热稳定性。调节Ca含量可以使粉体实现从绿黄色到黄色的发光,表明Sr3-x Ca x Al0.6Si0.4-O4.4F0.6∶Ce3+荧光粉是一款潜在的适合近紫外和蓝光激发的白光LED用荧光粉。
