Abstract
(Y1-xGdx)BO3:Eu (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) phosphor particles were prepared by spray pyrolysis. The optimal amount of boric acid for the high photoluminescence intensity of there particles differed depending on the molar ratio of Y to Gd. With decreasing Y/Gd molar ratio, an increasing amount of excess boric acid was required. The difference in excess quantity of boric acid, which was demanded for the highest photoluminescence intensity according to the Y/Gd ratio, influenced the morphology and mean size of the (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu phosphor particles. The (Y1-xGd x)BO3:Eu (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) phosphor particles had a regular morphology. The mean sizes of the GdBO3:Eu and YBO 3:Eu phosphor particles were 1.4 and 1 μm, respectively. The high reactivity of boron and yttrium components produced YBO3:Eu phosphor particles with high photoluminescence intensities by spray pyrolysis using a spray solution with a stoichiometric amount of boric acid.
