The invention relates to a red long
afterglow luminescent material and preparation thereof; the red long
afterglow luminescent material takes Gd2O2S as a matrix and Eu as an activator and appropriately intermingles TiO2; MgO is codoped with TiO2; and SiO2 is codoped with TiO2. The composition thereof is Gd2O2S:Eu, Ti; Gd2O2S:Eu, Mg, Ti or Gd2O2S:Eu, Si, and Ti . The
mass percentage content of each
raw material to prepare the
luminescent material is as follows: 32.27 percent to 33.98 percent of
gadolinium oxide; 1.02 percent to 2.73 percent of europia, 32.0 percent to 38.0 percent of
sulfur, 23.1 percent to 28.2 percent of
anhydrous sodium carbonate, 3.9 percent to 4.8 percent of
lithium carbonate, 0 to 0.58 percent of magnesia, 0 to 0.87 percent of
silicon dioxide and 0.19 percent to 1.15 percent of titanic
oxide; in addition, the
mole ratio of
gadolinium oxide and europia is that: n(Gd#-(2O3)):n(Eu#-(2O3)) equals to 11.50 to 32.33. The
roasting temperature is 1240 DEG C to 1280 DEG C, and the heat preserving time is 2.0 to 3.0h. The emission
peak value of the luminescent material is about 627nm. Through the
irradiation of an
ultraviolet lamp or visible light (such as the
ray of the sun and a
fluorescent lamp), the red long
afterglow luminescent material is characterized by obvious, bright and pure red long afterglow
luminescence, and can be used for emergency indicating lights, such as
emergency exit direction for
crowd evacuation when service interruption occurs in the public places, fire exit signs, red alert of other specific occasions, etc.
