Abstract
A novel solvothermal route has been developed to synthesize mondispersed and different mophologies of Eu-doped CaTiO3 phosphors including magic-column spherical, magic-cube spherical and polyhedral shaped, using a mixture of ethylene glycol (EG) and ethylenediamine (EDA). By tuning the solvent ratio, the method exhibited excellent control over the morphology of CaTiO3:Eu3+, and magic-column spherical phosphors have higher luminous intensities than magic-cube spherical and polyhedral shaped phosphors. The synthesized phosphors had higher luminous intensity and better packing properties than those obtained by a solid-state method. The phosphors showed strong red emissions, corresponding to the 5D0 → 7F2 (617.6 nm) transition of Eu3+ under near-ultraviolet excitation (398.4 nm). X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescent (PL) analyses were used to characterize the structure, morphology and luminous performance of CaTiO3:Eu3+ phosphors.
