Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of long afterglow materials, specifically relating to a rare earth element-doped pyrophosphate long afterglow material that can only be excited by X-rays, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Long persistence is a unique delayed photoluminescence phenomenon where the afterglow continues for a considerable period after excitation ceases. Compared to fluorescence, which relies on real-time excitation, long persistence luminescence can last for seconds, hours, or even days. In imaging, persistence imaging achieves high signal-to-noise ratio imaging by simply acquiring persistence photons, completely eliminating background interference from autofluorescence. In detection, it can also serve as a delayed detection method.

[0003] In recent years, due to the high penetrating power of X-rays into biological tissues, X-ray-excited long-persistence imaging has attracted increasing attention. Representative examples include rare-earth-doped NaYF4 (Light Sci Appl 2018) and Pr... 3+ Ion-doped Cs₂NaYF₆ (Nat. Nanotechnol 2021), etc., can cause certain hazards if not properly protected or used in applications (such as individual injury or increased cancer incidence in the population). Existing standard X-ray dosimeters are expensive and generally used for environmental monitoring; traditional X-ray detection boxes require periodic dose testing at designated disease control centers and are generally used by radiology, dentistry, and other personnel working in radiation environments for extended periods; Invention patent CN200510086189.1 reports a photofluorescence radiation dose detection technology, which stores the radiation dose using a photofluorescent dosimeter, excites it with a light source in a photoelectric system, and reads the stored radiation dose using a sensitive weak light detection device, but the technical process is relatively complex. Given the current problems of high cost, technical complexity, and inconvenience in use, new X-ray dosimetry technologies urgently need to be developed.

[0004] Rare earth ions (Pr 3+ 、Sm 3+ Er 3+ Dy 3+ Tm 3+ (e.g., ) are often used as sensitizers in the development of long afterglow materials. For example, commercial long afterglow materials such as Eu... 2+ and Dy 3+ Co-doped Sr₂Al₂O₄ can emit green light at 520 nm under 365 nm ultraviolet light excitation, and this emission lasts for 30 hours (J. Lumin 1997); Pr 3+Doped calcium titanate can produce a red afterglow lasting up to 12 hours under 365 nm ultraviolet light excitation (Chem.Eng.J2022); Sm 3+ Doped Na2CaSn2Ge3O 12 It can produce an orange-red afterglow under 254nm ultraviolet light excitation, lasting for at least 4.8 hours (Inorg.Chem2013); Tm 3+ Doped Ca₂SnO₄ can be excited by 254 nm ultraviolet light to produce a blue-green afterglow for nearly 5 hours (Spectrochim. Acta, Part A 2015). Rare earth element-doped long-afterglow materials are diverse and can be excited by various methods to produce long afterglows of various colors. However, rare earth element-doped pyrophosphate long-afterglow materials that can only be excited by X-rays have not yet been reported. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto. For process parameters not specifically noted, conventional techniques can be referred to.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Sr 1.98 Preparation and related characterization properties of P2O7:0.02Dy

[0049] According to the molar ratio of Sr:P:Dy = 1.98:2:0.02, weigh 0.0495 mol of strontium carbonate (SrCO3), 0.05 mol of diammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH4)2HPO4, and 0.00025 mol of dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3), place them in a quartz mortar, add an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol (just enough to wet the powder), and grind thoroughly. Dry in an oven at 60℃, collect in an alumina crucible, and place in a muffle furnace. The heating rate is 5℃ / min below 800℃ and 2℃ / min above 800℃ (the same applies below), and calcine at 900℃ for 1 hour. After the internal temperature of the muffle furnace cools to room temperature, remove the crucible and grind the powder again thoroughly. Collect the second-ground powder again in an alumina crucible and calcine in a muffle furnace at 1100℃ for 5 hours. After the muffle furnace cooled to room temperature, the annealed sample was removed and ground to obtain a composition of Sr. 1.98 The sample contains P2O7:0.02Dy.

[0050] Figure 1 This indicates that the synthesized Sr 1.98 P2O7:0.02Dy has a strontium pyrophosphate crystal structure, and the incorporation of Dy does not affect the crystal structure of strontium pyrophosphate.

[0051] Figure 2This indicates that the synthesized Sr 1.98 The fluorescence emission peaks of P2O7:0.02Dy are mainly located at 480 nm and 575 nm, corresponding to the fluorescence emission peaks of Dy. 4 F 9 / 2 → 6 H 15 / 2 and 4 F 9 / 2 → 6 H 13 / 2 Feature transition.

[0053] Figure 7 This indicates that the synthesized Sr 1.98 When P2O7:0.02Dy is excited by X-rays, it produces a bright green long afterglow that is visible to the naked eye and can be photographed with a mobile phone.

[0054] Figure 8 This indicates that the synthesized Sr 1.98 The afterglow of P2O7:0.02Dy after being excited by X-rays can last for at least 4000 seconds, which is a long afterglow duration.

[0055] Figure 9 This indicates that the synthesized Sr 1.98 P2O7:0.02Dy produces two traps, one deep and one shallow, upon X-ray excitation, but fails to produce traps upon irradiation with a white light flashlight and an ultraviolet flashlight, thus proving that the synthesized Sr... 1.98 P2O7:0.02Dy can only be excited by X-rays and cannot be excited by white light or ultraviolet light. The influence of natural light on this material during daily use is negligible.

[0056] Figure 10 , Figure 11 This indicates that using synthesized Sr 1.98 P2O7:0.02Dy is used to make silicone sheets of various shapes. When excited by X-rays, it can emit bright green light visible to the naked eye. After being excited for a period of time, it can be excited again with hot water to emit bright green light, and the color change process can be clearly observed.
