The invention relates to a
near ultraviolet excitation type red
phosphor and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of luminescent materials. The
phosphor has a
structural formula represented by (Y1-x,Gdx)1-a-b(Px,V1-x)O4:aEu<3+>,bBi<3+>; and in the formula, x is greater than 0 and not greater than 0.5, and each of a and b is greater than 0 and lower than 0.1. The design idea of the
phosphor is characterized in that Eu<3+> is treated as a luminescent center, and Bi<3+> and the like are added as auxiliary activators; there is an interaction in the
luminescence of the phosphor; and the addition of Bi<3+>, Gd<3+>, P<5+> and the like enhances the
luminescence performance of a sample, wherein the
doping of Gd<3+> can improve the luminescent
color purity of the sample, the
doping of P<5+> can substantially enhance the
luminescence performance, and the
doping of Bi<3+> can reduce the fluorescent attenuation time of the sample. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing reactant raw materials according to the stoichiometric ratios of all elements in the
structural formula, preparing a YVO4:Eu<3+>,Bi<3+> matrix predecessor through using a solvothermal process, doping Gd<3+> and P<5+> through using a
sol-gel process,
drying the obtained product,
grinding the product, adding a flux, carrying out ball milling and uniform mixing, calcining the obtained mixed product in a high temperature furnace, and
grinding the obtained product to obtain the required phosphor which is the
near ultraviolet excitation type red phosphor and can emit
red fluorescence.
