[0002] With the continuous development of the information industry, luminescent materials have been used in display technology, scintillators, lasers, remote thermal imaging, solar energy converters, and concentrators for decades. Rare earth metals, transition metals, and main group elements are commonly used luminescent activators. Among them, main group elements, due to their unique electronic structure (ns... 2 It has attracted attention due to its type. 2 Type (n≥4) launch center (Sn) 2+ Sb 3+ 、Tl + Pb 2+ Bi 3+ Te 4+ The optical transition of ns occurs between the outer s and p shells, and the coordination field has a significant impact on the luminescence properties. The coordination electric field can be tuned by simply changing the host material and physical conditions. Furthermore, ns 2 Type-agent launch centers often exhibit strong emission with microsecond-level lifetimes and can be used as practical activators.

[0003] Te 4+ As a type of ns 2 Te-type ions, characterized by low toxicity, low cost, abundant reserves, and excellent optical properties, have gradually attracted the attention of researchers. Te, acting as a luminescent center, exhibits broadband emission characteristics from visible to near-infrared light when doped into different matrix materials. The emission spectrum can be modulated by changing the doping concentration and reaction temperature. Previous reports indicate that Te-doped luminescent materials display colors ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, depending on the chemical composition of the matrix and the melting temperature. 4+ Doped A₂SnCl₆ (A = Cs, K, Rb) and A₂ZrCl₆ (A = Rb, Cs) exhibit yellow emission at liquid helium (LHeT) temperatures. 4+ Zinc borate glass exhibits a blue emission center at 460 nm, and both its excitation and emission energies exhibit a redshift with increasing TeO2 content.

[0049] S1) Use the analytical balance according to Y 3-x Al5O 12 :xTe 4+(x=0.03) Weigh Al(NO3)3 raw material into glass beaker A, and Y(NO3)3 and Te(NO3)4 raw materials into beaker B.

[0052] Figure 1 YAG:3%Te was synthesized at sintering temperatures of 800℃, 900℃, 1000℃ and 1100℃ respectively. 4+ XRD patterns of the samples. The diffraction peaks of all samples are related to Y3Al5O. 12 The results were consistent with the standard card (JCPDS: 88-2048), and no diffraction peaks were detected in the mesophases Y4Al2O9 (YAM) and YAlO3 (YAP). This means that the pure YAG phase was successfully prepared at 800℃ using the sol-gel method, which is much lower than the synthesis temperature required for the solid-state method (≥1500℃). Furthermore, no diffraction peaks were detected in TeO2, indicating that Te... 4+ Ions were successfully doped into the matrix. As can be observed from the figure, the diffraction intensity of the sample increases and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the diffraction peaks decreases with increasing sintering temperature, indicating that the crystallinity of the powder increases.

[0053] Figure 2 YAG:3%Te synthesized at different sintering temperatures 4+Microscopic morphology of the powder. All sample particles are nearly spherical in shape, with a generally uniform grain distribution. At 800℃, the average particle size of the powder is approximately 40 nm. With increasing sintering temperature, the grain size of the synthesized powder increases significantly, indicating that higher temperature promotes interparticle contact reactions to generate larger products. When the sintering temperature rises to 1100℃, the average particle size of the sample increases to approximately 90 nm.

[0054] Figure 3 YAG:3%Te prepared at different sintering temperatures 4+ The emission spectra of the powder under 280 nm excitation are shown in the figure. It is clear from the figure that all prepared samples exhibit a broad emission band with a central peak at 467 nm, and the bandwidth covers from 380 nm to 600 nm. According to reports, pure YAG powder itself does not emit blue light, which means that Te ions have been successfully doped into the YAG lattice and become luminescent centers. With increasing sintering temperature, the fluorescence emission intensity initially increases, reaching a maximum at 900 °C, and then significantly decreases with further increases in temperature. This may be due to the influence of crystal defects and crystallinity on the radiative transitions of the samples.
