The invention relates to a borofluoride
white light emitting material. The
chemical composition formula of the borofluoride
white light emitting material is M5-2x(BO3)5F:Dyx, Rx; and M is
alkaline earth metal ions, Dy is trivalent activated ions, R is
alkali metal ions, the
molar percentage content of the Dy relative to the
alkali metal ion R is x, and the x is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.2. Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for preparing the material. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, selecting a source compound of the
alkaline earth metal ions, a source compound of borate radical ions, a source compound of the
alkali metal ions, a source compound of
dysprosium ions and a source compound of
fluorine according to a stoichiometric ratio, wherein the stoichiometric ratio of the source compounds is a
molar ratio of corresponding elements in the M5-2x(BO3)5F:Dyx, Rx, the x is the
molar percentage content of the
dysprosium ions relative to the alkali
metal ion R, and the x is more than or equal to 0.01 and less than or equal to 0.2; 2,
grinding and mixing the source compounds; and 3,
sintering the mixture in a high-temperature furnace, and then cooling and
grinding to obtain the borofluoride
white light emitting material.
