Synthesis of Tb3+-Doped Ca-Deficient Hydroxyapatite and its Photoluminescence for White Light-Emitting Diode Application
Abstract:
Green-emitting Tb3+-doped Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite phosphor was successfully prepared from natural collophanite. The effects of (Tb+Ca)/P values on the crystal phases and luminescent properties of the prepared products were discussed. XRD results revealed that Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite was a biphase compound of hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and its crystal phase transformed to HA with the increasing values of (Tb+Ca)/P. Photoluminescence measurements showed that the products presented intensely green emission peaking at 545 nm under near-ultraviolet excitation and the luminescent intensity had great correlation with the content ratios of β-TCP to HA. When (Tb+Ca)/P=1.3, the luminescent intensity of Tb3+-doped Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite reached the maximum value, which was much stronger than that of Tb3+-doped HA. These results indicate that Tb3+-doped Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite phosphor is suitable for potential application in white light-emitting diode (LED).
