采用改进的溶胶凝胶前驱单体法合成了一系列Er3+单掺和Er3+-Yb3+共掺的BaTiO3:Ln3+上转换发光纳米颗粒,产物经900℃煅烧后得到结晶性极佳的纯立方相BaTiO3纳米晶,尺寸均匀约为100nm。稀土离子浓度较低时不会影响产物的晶体结构和形貌,掺杂浓度达到5%时出现微弱的Ba2TiO4衍射峰,当掺杂浓度达到20%时Ba2TiO4已经占主要部分,此时产物中有大量微米量级的颗粒存在。上转换发光显示:Er3+单掺浓度为0.5%时能获得最强的绿光发射,此时红绿光强度比约为1∶15。当Er3+-Yb3+共掺时,Yb3+极大地抑制了绿光的发射,同时红光发射明显增强,当Yb3+/Er3+大于5∶1后,红绿光强度比稳定在3∶1。上转换机制分析表明,Yb3+浓度较高时会引起Er3+-Yb3+粒子之间的能量逆传递过程,导致红光发射增强,而绿光发射减弱。
Through optimized sol-gel precursor monomer method, a serial of Er3+ doped and Er3+ -Yb3+ eodoped BaTiO3 :Ln3+ nanoparticles were synthesized. The product was pure cubic phase with even size of 100 nm by 900 ℃ calcination. The doped Ln3 + did not affect the crystal structure and morphology of the nanocrystal at low do- ping concentration. The weak XRD pattern of Ba2TiO4 appeared at 5% Ln3+ doping concentration, while the Lns+ doping concentration reached 20% , Ba2TiO4 became dominate, and also massive microparticles were observed in the product. The upconversion measurement revealed that the most strong green emission occurred at 0.5 % doping concentration of Er3+ ions and the ratio of red/green intensity was 1: 15. As for Er3+-Yb3+ codoping system, Yb3+ ions could prevent the green emission and enhance the red emission duo to the energy back transfer process from Er3 + to Yb3 + ions. When the ratio of Yb3 +/Er3 + was more than 5: 1, the intensity ratio of red/green emission was stabilized at 3: 1.
