摘要
The direct silicon nitridation method was used to synthesize Ca-alpha-sialon:Eu2+ phosphors. From a low cost CaCO3-AlF3-Si mixture, pure alpha-sialon phase was produced at a low temperature of 1250 degrees C. The crystallinity of the obtained phosphors can be markedly improved by increasing the firing temperature or post-annealing. Solid gas reactions occur easily, according to thermodynamic analysis, leading to loss of silicon and enhancing the replacement of Si-N bonds by Al-N bonds. The produced Ca-alpha-sialon:Eu2+ phosphors feature high purity, uniform and discrete particle morphology with a particle size of 1-2 mu m and good luminescence properties with a yellow emission that peaks at 580 nm under n-UV or blue light excitation.
