We report a KCaPOF:Eu phosphor with a new crystal structure. This phosphor has a large Stokes shift and converts near-ultraviolet light to red luminescence without absorption of other visible light. The mechanism was elucidated by applying a constrained density functional theory to the solved crystal structure.
The CO 2 absorption property of Li 4 SiO 4 was investigated by thermogravimetry. Two kinds of sintered Li 4 SiO 4 samples were prepared at 700? C and 1000? C. The CO 2 absorption rate of the powdered Li 4 SiO 4 samples was measured in 100 vol! CO 2 atmosphere at nine selected temperatures in the 620Ĭ700? C region, and the measured data were discussed by the rate theory. The CO 2 absorption reaction of the Li 4 SiO 4 would be a pseudo first order reaction. For these samples, apparent reaction rate constants k were measured at different measurement temperatures, and activation energies were estimated by the Arrhenius plot. For both the samples, the estimated activation energies were about 115 kJmol in the 620-660? C region and about 56 kJmol in the 680-700? C region. The large difference between these activation energies seems to depend on the surface state of the Li 4 SiO 4 particle reacting with CO 2 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
