Abstract

AbstractIn the SrO‐Al2O3‐B2O3‐SiO2 glass system, a SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ long‐persistent luminescence glass‐ceramic (SAGC) with Li2O was successfully synthesized for the first time using the recrystallization‐melting method. The composition, micromorphology, long‐persistent luminescence (LPL) properties, photoluminescence (PL) properties, and water resistance were measured by X‐ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, brightness meter, fluorescence spectrophotometer, and pH meter, respectively. The method involves the formation of grains below the glass transition temperature, followed by the formation of the glass phase at a higher temperature, and finally the formation of products through cooling. The samples exhibited green PL and LPL emissions and demonstrated excellent color purity, homogeneity, and LPL luminescence. After doping Li2O, the purity and crystallinity of the SrAl2O4 were improved, and scalene hexagonal or monoclinic prismatic SrAl2O4 crystals with high regularity were synthesized in the glass matrix. This research indicates that excellent LPL benefits from the complete crystal structure, abundant crystals, and large crystal size. When the Li2O content reached 5 mol%, the crystal size was ∼30 µm, the PL and LPL properties performed best, and greater water resistance was exhibited. The SAGC in this new glass system has potential in optical storage.
