The phase structure and crystalline sizes of TiO 2∶Eu, which is doped with different europium content and then he at-treated at different temperature, were investigated by XRD,TG,DTA and TEM. The results show that europium could be introduced into TiO 2 under high temper ature and it can suppress the structural phase transition from anatase to rutile and the crystal growth of TiO 2 in TiO 2∶Eu nano-materials. The fluorescenc e spectra were examined by fluorescence spectrophotometer, and the results show that the fluorescence intensity is the strongest when europium content is 2.68%( mole fraction) and the heat-treated temperature is 700 ℃. From the measurement results of the fluorescence lifetimes, it can be seen that the fluorescence lifetime c ould be prolonged when europium is incorporated in TiO 2.展开更多
