The invention provides a
silicate luminescent material, which has a
structural formula of Ln2-xSiO5:Tbx@SiO2@M, wherein Ln is a
rare earth element, @ represents cladding, that is to say, a
metal nanoparticles is taken as a
nucleus, spherical SiO2 is taken as an intermediate-layer shell, and fluorescent
powder Ln2-xSiO5:Tbx is taken as an outer-layer shell; and M is one of Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Cu metalnanoparticles, and a value of x is more than 0 and not more than 0.5. The invention also provides a preparation method of the
luminescent material, which comprises the following steps of: preparing ametal
nanoparticle colloid, preparing a SiO2 nano sphere, preparing a precursor, finally performing
thermal treatment and
reduction treatment on the precursor, and cooling to obtain a finished product. In the invention, the
nucleus and the shell are formed through cladding the
metal particles, so that the internal
quantum efficiency, the stability and the luminescent efficiency of the
silicate luminescent material are improved, the luminescent intensity of the
silicate luminescent material is strengthened, thus the silicate luminescent material provided by the invention has broad production and application prospects.
