The invention relates to
antimonate long-
afterglow fluorescent
powder and a preparation method thereof. The
chemical formula of fluorescent
powder is LiZn2Y3-3xRE3xSb2O12, wherein RE is
rare earth ions, namely La<3+>, Ce<3+>, Pr<3+>, Nd<3+>, Sm<3+>, Eu<3+>, Gd<3+>, Tb<3+>, Dy<3+>, Ho<3+>, Er<3+>, Tm<3+>, Yb<3+>, Lu<3+> and Sc<3+>, x is the mole percentage of RE
doping substituted Y<3+>, and x is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.5. The
antimonate long-
afterglow fluorescent
powder provided by the invention emits bright
orange light after the
ultraviolet light excitation of 200-350 nanometers is stopped and has the advantages of high
luminous intensity, good stability and color development and good
chemical stability and
heat stability. The preparation method provided by the invention has the advantages of simplicity, high
operability, unnecessary calcining in a reduced
atmosphere, no waste
water discharge and
waste gas emission, environment friendliness, good
repeatability, stability in product quality, easiness for operation and industrialized production.
