Abstract

La2O2S:Tb3+ phosphors were synthesized by a one-step K2CO3/Na2CO3 flux method and phosphor-embedded polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) films were fabricated by spin coating. Effects of calcination temperature and flux on the crystal structure, morphology and luminescence performance were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence and calculation of CIE color coordinates. In the emission spectra, several emission peaks corresponding to 5D47F6, 5D47F5, 5D47F4, and 5D47F3 transitions appeared, with the 5D47F3 green emission being the dominant emission. The energy band gap, quantum efficiency, fluorescence decay curves, and thermal stability were also investigated with the aim of exploring the potential applicability of the synthesized phosphors in optical devices.
