Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fluorescent materials, and in particular to a high-efficiency narrow-band green nitride fluorescent material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] White LED light source is the most widely used lighting device today, and its principle of realizing white light output is to use LED to excite fluorescent material, and the light emitted by the fluorescent material under the excitation of the LED is mixed with the light emitted by the LED which is not absorbed by the fluorescent material to obtain white light, as disclosed in patent document 1 (Song Kai-xin, Jiang Jun, Li Wei, Qin Hui-bin, A kind of white light led fluorescent powder and its preparation method, CN102295927A). Obviously, the fluorescent material plays a key role in the white LED light source, and to some extent determines the light color and electrical quality of the white LED light source.

[0003] Because the fluorescent material has the advantages of structural diversity, high luminous efficiency, good thermal stability and chemical stability, etc., as disclosed in non-patent document 1 (Zhou Tian-liang, Jie Rong-jun, Research progress of nitride (oxide) fluorescent powder, Functional Materials, 2014, 17, 17001-17011 / 6), the nitride (oxide) fluorescent material occupies an important position in the white LED fluorescent material. Non-patent document 2 (Yang Zhi-gang, Synthesis and luminescent properties of rare earth doped M-Si-Al-O-N materials, Doctoral thesis of Lanzhou University, 2013) believes that in the nitride (oxide) and nitride oxide matrix material, the nitrogen element has relatively small electronegativity and large electron cloud expansion effect, which can effectively promote the splitting of rare earth ion Sd energy level in the crystal field, reduce the energy level difference between 5d-4f, and cause red shift of excitation and emission wavelength. Therefore, in general, the pure nitrogen-containing nitride fluorescent material mostly emits long-wavelength light (such as red light, or deep red light), and the nitride oxide fluorescent material containing both oxygen and nitrogen mostly emits short-wavelength light (such as green light, cyan light).

[0004] For example, for nitride oxide, patent document 2 (Yang Zhi-ping, Dong Xiu-qin, Liu Shao-peng, Zhao Jin-xin, A kind of nitride oxide blue fluorescent powder and its preparation method and application, CN106479498A) discloses a blue nitride oxide fluorescent material, whose chemical formula is Ba 1-x-y-z-m A1 x A2 y A3 zSi2O2N2:mEu, A1 is at least one of Sr, Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn or Cu, A2 is at least one of Li, Na or K, A3 is at least one of Y, Sc, La, Ga, Gd or Lu; in the formula, 0≤x≤0.1, 0≤y≤0.1, 0≤z≤0.1, 0

The fluorescent material can be excited by light with a wavelength range of 320-450 nm, and the emission spectrum is located near 670 nm, which is in the deep red light region.

[0015] Obviously, in general, most of the pure nitrogen-containing nitride fluorescent materials emit long-wavelength light (such as red light, or deep red light).

[0016] In addition, as for the synthesis method of nitride fluorescent material, non-patent document 3 (Liu Wenquan, Shi Ruixin, Duan Ruxia, Huerji, Wu Wenjie, Chaokefu, Baofuquan, Li Qi, Xin Yi, Tegus, Ca x Preparation of Ca 1-x AlSiN3:xEu red fluorescent powder and luminescent performance research, Journal of Luminescence, 2017, 38, 10:1295) believes that when using alloy raw materials, nitride fluorescent materials can be prepared under more relatively mild conditions.

[0017] In summary, there is still a lack of nitride fluorescent materials that can emit green light under violet light excitation, with narrow band and high quantum efficiency. As for the violet excitation of Ba 3-x Eu x Al4Si3N 10 The high-efficiency, narrow-band and green-emitting behavior of (0 < x ≤ 0.1, the crystal structure of the fluorescent material corresponding to the substrate belongs to the orthorhombic system, and the space group is Immm) is disclosed for the first time.

[0057] In order to further illustrate the application, the high-efficiency narrow-band green nitride fluorescent material and the preparation method thereof provided by the application are described in detail below in combination with examples. The reagents used in the following comparative examples and examples are commercially available.

[0058] Comparative Example 1

[0059] The raw materials are BaSi and AlN, and the molar ratio of Ba and Al in BaSi and AlN is 3:4. After the raw materials are ground and mixed uniformly, they are loaded into a crucible, and then sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under an ammonia atmosphere of 15MPa, and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace, to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 10 .

[0060] The luminescent performance of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 1 is analyzed by a fluorescence spectrometer, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 Since no possible luminescent center is doped in the comparative example, Comparative Example 1 does not emit light.

[0061] Comparative Example 2

[0062] The raw materials are BaSi, EuSi and AlN, and the molar ratio of Ba, Eu and Al in BaSi, EuSi and AlN is 2.85:0.15:4. After the raw materials are ground and mixed uniformly, they are loaded into a crucible, and then sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under an ammonia atmosphere of 15MPa, and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace, to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 2.85 Eu0.15 Al4Si3N 10 The material has a theoretical chemical composition of Ba

[0063] The luminescent performance of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 2 was analyzed by using a fluorescence spectrometer. The results showed that the main peak of the emission spectrum of the material obtained in Comparative Example 2 was located at 562 nm, and the half-height width of the emission spectrum was 91 nm. The quantum efficiency of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 2 was tested by using a quantum efficiency tester. The results showed that the quantum efficiency of the material obtained in Comparative Example 2 was 20.4%, which was relatively low. The specific data are shown in Table 1. Although the material obtained in Comparative Example 2 was a green luminescent material, the concentration of Eu was too high, resulting in concentration quenching effect of the material obtained in Comparative Example 2, and the luminescent intensity and the quantum efficiency were both low.

[0064] That is, Comparative Example 2 did not have the possibility of being applied to a white light LED device (package).

[0065] Comparative Example 3

[0066] The raw materials were BaSi, SrSi, EuSi and AlN, and the molar ratio of Ba, Sr, Eu and Al in BaSi, SrSi, EuSi and AlN was 1.95:1:0.05:4. After the above raw materials were ground and uniformly mixed, they were loaded into a crucible, and then sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under the atmosphere of 15 MPa of ammonia gas, and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 1.95 SrEu 0.05 Al4Si3N 10 The material has a theoretical chemical composition of Ba

[0067] The luminescent performance of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 3 was analyzed by using a fluorescence spectrometer, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 2 Due to the substitution of part of Ba with Sr, the main peak of the emission spectrum of the material obtained in Comparative Example 3 was located at 593 nm, which was orange light, rather than green light. The half-height width of the emission spectrum was 102 nm, and the half-height width of the emission spectrum was relatively wide. The quantum efficiency of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 3 was tested by using a quantum efficiency tester. The results showed that the quantum efficiency of the material obtained in Comparative Example 3 was 10.7%, which was relatively low. The specific data are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that after the substitution of Ba with Sr, the luminescent intensity and the quantum efficiency of the obtained luminescent material were too low to have commercial application value.

[0068] That is, Comparative Example 3 was an orange luminescent material, rather than a high-efficiency narrow-band green luminescent material, and the luminescent intensity was too low to have the possibility of being applied to a white light LED device (package).

[0069] Comparative Example 4

[0070] The raw materials are Ba3N2, Eu3N2, AlN and Si3N4, the molar ratio of Ba, Eu, Al and Si in Ba3N2, Eu3N2, AlN and Si3N4 is 2.95:0.05:4:3, the above raw materials are ground and mixed uniformly, then loaded into a crucible, sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under the atmosphere of 15MPa ammonia, and cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 2.95 Eu 0.05 Al4Si3N 10 .

[0071] The luminescent performance of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 4 is analyzed by a fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that the main peak of the emission spectrum of the material obtained in Comparative Example 4 is located at 532 nm, and the half-height width of the emission spectrum is 70 nm. The quantum efficiency of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 4 is tested by a quantum efficiency tester. The results show that the quantum efficiency of the material obtained in Comparative Example 4 is 11.9%, which is relatively low. The specific data are shown in Table 1. The material obtained in Comparative Example 4 is analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer. The results show that there is a part of BaSiN2 impurity phase in the obtained material. That is, although the most stable all-nitride raw materials are used to synthesize nitride fluorescent materials, the target pure phase cannot be obtained due to the existence of side reactions. Although the material obtained in Comparative Example 4 is a green luminescent material, its luminescent intensity and quantum efficiency are low due to the existence of impurity phase.

[0072] That is, Comparative Example 4 does not have the possibility of being applied to white light LED devices (packaging).

[0073] Comparative Example 5

[0074] The raw materials are BaSi, EuSi and AlN, the molar ratio of Ba, Eu and Al in BaSi, EuSi and AlN is 2.95:0.05:4, the above raw materials are ground and mixed uniformly, then loaded into a crucible, sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under the atmosphere of 15MPa nitrogen, and cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 2.95 Eu 0.05 Al4Si3N 10 .

[0075] The luminescent performance of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 5 is analyzed by a fluorescence spectrometer, and the results are as follows Figure 3The results show that the main peak of the emission spectrum of the material obtained in Comparative Example 5 is located at 531 nm, and the half-height width of the emission spectrum is 68 nm. The quantum efficiency of the material corresponding to Comparative Example 5 is tested by using a quantum efficiency tester. Since the atmosphere is a nitrogen atmosphere, the reducing capacity is poorer than that of ammonia, and the results show that the quantum efficiency of the material obtained in Comparative Example 5 is 16.6%, which is relatively low. The specific data are shown in Table 1. Although the material obtained in Comparative Example 5 is a green light-emitting material, the luminescence intensity and quantum efficiency thereof are low due to the fact that a suitable reaction atmosphere is not selected.

[0076] That is, Comparative Example 5 does not have the possibility of being applied to a white light LED device (package).

[0077] Example 1

[0078] The raw materials are BaSi, EuSi and AlN, and the molar ratio of Ba, Eu and Al in BaSi, EuSi and AlN is 2.995:0.005:4. After the above raw materials are ground and uniformly mixed, they are loaded into a crucible, and then sintered at 1200°C for 6h in a high-temperature furnace under an ammonia atmosphere of 15 MPa, and then cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a material with a theoretical chemical composition of Ba 2.995 Eu 0.005 Al4Si3N 10 .

[0079] The structure of the material obtained in Example 1 is analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and the diffraction spectrum is shown in Figure 4 . By comparison through powder structure database retrieval, the diffraction data are completely different from the diffraction spectrum of the known nitride fluorescent material, which indicates that the material obtained in Example 1 is a nitride fluorescent material with a completely new structure. Since an alloy is selected as the raw material instead of a full nitride powder, the obtained material does not contain obvious impurity phases. Through single crystal diffraction analysis combined with powder structure refinement data, it is shown that the crystal structure of the material (matrix) belongs to an orthorhombic system, and the space group is Immm, Figure 5 .
