The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic luminescent materials, and particularly discloses Bi < 3 + > sensitized Y3Ga3MgSiO12: Eu < 3 + > dark red fluorescent
powder as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The fluorescent
powder is prepared by adopting a high-temperature
solid-
phase method, and efficient capture of
near ultraviolet / purple
light energy and dark red emission output are realized by introducing Eu < 3 + > as a
luminescence center and co-
doping Bi < 3 + > as a sensitizer on the premise of keeping stability of a garnet type cubic structure (
space group Ia3d). The luminescent mechanism is as follows: under the excitation of
near ultraviolet / purple light, a matrix and Bi < 3 + > generate stronger absorption at the wave bands of 250-320 nm and the like and form an energy capture channel, and the obtained energy is further transferred to the
energy level of Eu < 3 + >, so that Eu < 3 + > generates characteristic
radiation transition and generates dark red emission taking 708 nm as a main peak, and meanwhile, narrow-band emission of 593 nm, 609 nm, 629 nm, 651 nm, 695 nm and the like is accompanied; by optimizing the
doping concentration,
concentration quenching can be effectively inhibited, the
luminous intensity can be improved, the optimal
doping amount of Eu < 3 + > is about 10 mol%, and the optimal
sensitization amount of Bi < 3 + > is about 4 mol%. The fluorescent
powder keeps stable dark red output on
chromaticity coordinates, can be matched with
near ultraviolet / purple light LED chips, and is suitable for the fields of illumination and the like.
