Abstract

In this article, a green pigment Bi1.95-xPrxW0.05MoO6+δ (x = 0.1–0.5) co-doped with Pr and W was developed using high temperature solid-phase synthesis method. The microstructure, color performance, and optical characteristics of the novel pigment was analyzed using x-ray diffraction instrument (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), L∗ a∗ b∗ color date, and ultraviolet–visible–near infrared light spectrophotometer. The results indicate that all the samples possess a monoclinic structure, characterized by the space group P21/c(14). Compared to Bi2-xPrxMoO6+δ doped solely with Pr6O11, the Pr/W co-doped Bi2MoO6 pigment demonstrates superior green coloration. The solar reflectance in the near-infrared region of all pigment samples exceeds 80 %, highest value reaches 92.82 %. In thermal insulation tests, the temperature difference between the Bi1.95-xPrxW0.05MoO6+δ pigment coating and a blank galvanized sheet reaches up to 10.3 °C after 60 min under infrared lamp irradiation. The color difference ΔE∗ of the pigment powder after immersion in acid and alkali solution and high-temperature calcination are less than 5, indicating good chemical stabilities in acidic, alkaline and high-temperature environments. To our knowledge, Bi1.95-xPrxW0.05MoO6+δ has the highest reflectivity among green pigments without toxic metals.
