Effects of Surfactants on Particle Size and Luminescence Properties of Ca1.98MgSiO5:Eu2+0.02 Phosphor Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Eu2+-doped Ca2MgSiO5 phosphors were prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of using surfactants (hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and triethanolamine) during the sol process were investigated on the phosphor particle size distribution. The use of surfactants did not change the crystal form of the Ca2MgSiO5:Eu2+ phosphor, but the particle size distribution and the luminescence properties were improved.
