The effects of calcination temperature and refluxing system on the composition and properties of lithium silicate were investigated. The samples were characterized by TGA/DTA, XRD, SEM and particle size analysis. Li2FeSiO4 was prepared by the solid-state reaction between Li2SiO3 and FeC2O4·2H2O. The XRD patterns show that the use of refluxing system in the sol-gel preparation can decrease the Li2Si2O5 and Li4SiO4 impurities in the Li2SiO3 sample. The calcination temperature plays an important role in the properties of the Li2SiO3 samples. The sample calcined at 700 °C has high purity of 97% Li2SiO3 and good morphology as precursor of Li2FeSiO4. It consists of primary particles with size of 1-3 μm, and the primary particle clusters form agglomerates with loose and porous appearance.展开更多

The chemical structures of the phosphors were identified with X-ray diffraction(XRD). Surface morphological features were observed by scanning electron microscopic(SEM) investigation. Spectra of excitation and emission for the phosphors were also obtained by a spectrophotometer. Results showed that the optimum conditions were as follows: p H value of solution was 1–2, reaction temperature was at 180 oC for 24 h. The as-prepared phosphors exhibited two excitation dominant peaks at 451 and 486 nm, attributed to transitions of 3H4→3P2 and 3H4→3P0 of Pr3+, respectively. A narrow emission peak at 610 nm corresponded to the energy level transition of 3P0→3H6 of Pr3+ under excitation of light at 451 nm, which indicated promising candidate red phosphors for blue LED chips.展开更多
