摘要

BiVO4 phosphors doped with different concentrations of Sm3+ ions (1, 3, 5, and 7 mol%) were prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method and heat-treated at 160 °C for 12 h. X-ray diffraction results show that when Sm3+ ions replace Bi3+ ions at lattice sites, no second phase is formed in BiVO4 as the Sm3+ doping concentration increases, and the monoclinic crystal structure is maintained. With increasing Sm3+ doping concentration, the phosphor powders exhibit irregular particle morphology, and the particle sizes are non-uniform. Regarding the photoluminescence properties, the emission spectra are mainly composed of the characteristic emission peaks of Sm3+ ions, corresponding to the electronic transitions at 566 nm (4G5/26H5/2), 605 nm (4G5/26H7/2), and 648 nm (4F9/26H9/2). As the Sm3+ concentration increases, the emission intensity of the 604 nm peak (4G5/26H7/2) first increases and then decreases. When the Sm3+ doping concentration is 3 mol%, the phosphor exhibits the optimal emission intensity with CIE chromaticity coordinates are (x = 0.301, y = 0.374), which are located in the near-white light region.
