Abstract
A series of Bi doped zeolites are prepared by an ion-exchange process by changing doping concentration in a wide range, and the optical properties are investigated. The near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) intensity, full width at half maximum and decay time depend strongly on Bi doping concentration. The PL intensity increases 178 times when the concentration is changed from 0.3 to 1.5 at. %. At the same time, the lifetime increases from 83 to 527 μs. The results prove the model that doped Bi acts not only as optically active centers, but also as pore-sealing substances to isolate the centers. The comparison of PL and Raman data suggests that in addition to previously proposed Bi 2O 3, other Bi-related materials, probably Bi metal, play an important role to isolate the active centers.
