The invention relates to a Mn<4+> doped red fluorescent material and a preparation method thereof. The general formula of the fluorescent material is (Mg1-yAy)2(Ti1-zBz)1-xO4: xMn<4+> (A = Ca, Sr, Ba;B=Zr, Si; 0.01 at% < / = x < / = 1.0 at%; 0 < / = y < / = 5 at%; 0 < / = z < / = 10 at%). The preparation method comprises the following steps OF: taking MgO, caCO3, SrCO3, BaCO3, TiO2, ZrO2, SiO2 and MnO2 as raw materials, weighing the raw materials according to the element
molar ratio, after uniformly
grinding in an agate
mortar, carrying out high-temperature
solid-
phase reaction, adding a proper amount offluxing agent under the condition that a pure phase is guaranteed, and finally acquiring the Mn<4+> doped red fluorescent
powder material ((Mg1-yAy)2(Ti1-zBz)1-xO4: xMn<4+>), the obtained Mn<4+> doped red fluorescent
powder material having excellent
red light-emitting performance. According to the prepared red fluorescent material, Mn<4+> is used as an activator,
rare earth elements are not contained, raw materials and final products do not contain harmful substances such as
fluorine, the preparation method is simple, and the production cost is low. The red fluorescent
powder can emit
red fluorescence with the
wavelength range of 630-730 nm when excited by excitation light sources such as
ultraviolet,
near ultraviolet or
blue light LEDs, and is suitable for being applied to the field of warm
white light LED device illumination and display.
