What is europium and dysprosium doped strontium aluminate phosphor?
Strontium aluminate europium-doped dysprosium phosphor is a special luminescent material mainly used in the field of optoelectronics, especially in lighting and display technology. The basic component of this material is strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4), whose luminescent properties are activated by doping with the rare earth elements europium (Eu) and dysprosium (Dy).
The basic principle of europium and dysprosium doped strontium aluminate phosphor:
– Strontium Aluminate (SrAl2O4) is an alkaline earth metal aluminate that does not emit light by itself, but as a matrix material, it can be stably doped with an activator.
– Europium (Eu) is a commonly used activator that absorbs energy and re-radiates visible light. When europium is doped in strontium aluminate, the Eu ions jump from the ground state to the excited state when the material is excited by external energy (e.g., ultraviolet or blue light) and then release energy when it returns to the ground state, resulting in the phenomenon of luminescence. Europium-activated strontium aluminate emits mainly yellow-green light.
Dysprosium (Dy) is usually added as a co-activator, which creates an energy trap and extends the material’s afterglow time. In other words, dysprosium-doped strontium aluminate phosphors can keep emitting light for a longer period of time when the excitation light source is removed, exhibiting the so-called long afterglow property.
Applications of strontium aluminate europium-doped dysprosium phosphors:
These phosphors are mainly used in:
– Long afterglow materials: such as safety signs, emergency exit signs, watch hands, etc., which can continue to emit light at night or in dark places.
– White LED: By cooperating with blue LED chips, strontium aluminate europium-doped dysprosium phosphor can convert part of the blue light into yellow-green light and mix with the remaining blue light to generate white light, which is widely used in LED lighting and display technology.
– Other optoelectronic components: such as flat panel displays, optical storage devices, etc.
Preparation of strontium aluminate europium-doped dysprosium phosphor:
The preparation process usually includes precise weighing of raw materials, mixing, grinding to achieve uniform dispersion, and then high-temperature sintering. The sintering temperature and time need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the crystal structure of the phosphor is complete and the activator is evenly distributed. Sometimes it is also necessary to pulverize and screen the powder to achieve the required particle size distribution to ensure the luminous efficiency and application performance. During the sintering process, additional bonding agents may not be required, as components of the feedstock (e.g., silica) act as a natural bonding medium on their own.
