The invention discloses
silicate-based multi-color long-
afterglow luminescent materials and a preparation method thereof. The
silicate-based multi-color long-
afterglow luminescent materials have the chemical structural expression of Ca3-x-ySiO7:xCe<3+>,yM, wherein x is the
doping amount of Ce<3+>, y is the
doping amount of M, M is Tb<3+> or Mn<2+>, 0<x<=0.1, and 0<=y<=0.3; H3BO3 with the
mass fraction of 5-10% is used as a fluxing agent. The preparation method comprises the steps: synthesizing by adopting a high temperature
solid state method in a
reducing atmosphere; accurately weighing the raw materials according to the stoichiometric ratio, then mixing and
grinding evenly, pre-
sintering in air, then
grinding again, calcining under a high-temperature
reducing atmosphere, and when naturally cooling to the
room temperature,
grinding to obtain the multi-color long-
afterglow luminescent materials. Different samples are excited by
ultraviolet light, and the samples emit bright afterglow with different colors. The
silicate-based multi-color long-afterglow luminescent materials have the advantages that the silicate-based multi-color long-afterglow luminescent materials have the advantages of no radioactivity, high brightness, good stability, and longer afterglow time; multi-color long afterglow is achieved in a single matrix, the raw materials are cheap and easy to get, and the preparation method is simple and practicable and is suitable for large-scale production.
