Surfactant-zirconium phosphate composites were prepared by surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide intercalating to α-zirconium phosphate. The interlayer spacing of the lamellar structure was greatly expanded to 39.6 Å, as compared to 7.6 Å of α-zirconium phosphate. The molar ratio of surfactant to α-zirconium phosphate in the composites was found to be 1/1.46. The expanded interlayer separation is beneficial for complicated guest molecules intercalating to the galleries of the composites.
Carbonate precursor of Eu3+ doped Sr2CeO4 is obtained from a mixed solution of strontium, cerium and europium nitrate using ammonium carbonate as precipitant. Calcining the carbonate precursor at different temperatures, the Eu3+ doped Sr2CeO4 phosphor is synthesized. The phase purity of the material is closely related with the calcination temperature, and the phosphor with high purity can be achieved after the precursor annealed at 1200°C. The photoluminescence performance for Eu3+ doped Sr2CeO4 depends on the concentration of Eu3+. The excitation and emission reveal efficient energy transfer from Ce4+ to Eu3+, making the emission light from blue-white to red-white, further to red as the Eu3+ concentration gradually changes from low concentration (1 mol%) to high
concentration (10 mol%).
Sulfide nanowire arrays have been synthesized by DC electrodeposition from an electrolyte containing S in DMSO. The AAO membrane with the barrier layer has been directly used as template in electrodeposition. The as-synthesized products are characterized by SEM, TEM and resonance Raman spectroscopy. CdS and ZnS nanowires have been obtained, respectively.
(PO4)3- -doped red phosphors, Na5Eu(MoO4)4-x(PO4)x (x ≤ 0.10), were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method, and their luminescent properties were studied. Under the excitation of near-UV 395 nm, the phosphors show intense red emission. In particular, the relative emission intensity of Na5Eu(MoO4)3.96(PO4)0.04 sample reaches about 5.0 times in comparison with that of the commercial red phosphor Y2O2S:Eu3+. The phosphor could be suitable for the application of white light-emitting diodes.
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.
