摘要

摘要: 为了解决稀土掺杂上转换发光材料价格昂贵且粒径可控性差的问题，采用简单的化学沉淀法以价格低廉且易制备的SiO₂微球为核，在其表面均匀包覆了Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho)壳层，成功合成了球形SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho) 核壳上转换发光材料。XRD结果表明，尿素作为沉淀剂优先与稀土离子反应得到SiO₂@Gd(OH)CO₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺前驱体，经800℃煅烧后壳层进一步转化成结晶性良好的立方相Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺。SEM和尺寸分布图表明，所制备样品为理想的核壳微球形貌，尺寸均匀，平均粒径约为580 nm。在980 nm激光激发下，SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho)核壳微球分别表现出红光、蓝光、绿光发射，对应于Er³⁺的⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2跃迁、Tm³⁺的¹G₄→³H₆跃迁以及Ho³⁺的⁵S₂→⁵I₈跃迁，与CIE色坐标发光颜色区域相一致，说明通过简单的调节SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺核壳微球中壳层掺杂的稀土离子种类，成功实现了三色上转换发光。

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of high price and poor size controllability of rare earth doped upconversion luminescent materials, spherical SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho) core-shell upconversion luminescent materials were successfully synthesized by simple chemical precipitation method using low cost and easy to prepare SiO₂ microspheres as cores and uniformly coated with Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho) shells. XRD results show that the SiO₂@Gd(OH)CO₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ precursor is firstly obtained by the reaction of urea with rare earth ions, then the Gd(OH)CO₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ shell is further transformed into cubic phase Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ with good crystallinity after calcination at 800℃. SEM and size distribution images show that the prepared samples are ideal core-shell microspheres with uniform size, and the average diameter is about 580 nm. Under the excitation of 980 nm, SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ (Ln=Er, Tm, Ho) core-shell microspheres exhibit red, blue and green emissions respectively, corresponding to the ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 transition of Er³⁺, the ¹G₄→³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺, and the ⁵S₂→⁵I₈ transition of Ho³⁺, which are consistent with the luminescence color region of CIE color coordinates, indicating that three color upconversion luminescence is successfully achieved by simply adjusting the doped rare-earth ion species in the shell of SiO₂@Gd₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Ln³⁺ core-shell microspheres.
