The invention provides
praseodymium-doped
calcium titanate luminescent
powder and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: at
room temperature, weighing a certain amount of CaCO3 and Pr6O11
solid according to a
molar ratio of Pr<3+> / Ca<2+> of 0.005 / 1, dissolving the
solid in dilute
nitric acid, heating and stirring the solution to remove excessive acid, and heating the solution to a melting state after the pH value of the solution reaches 2 to 3; after the solution is cooled to
room temperature, adding 20 milliliters of tetrabutyl
titanate and 20 milliliters of water-
ethanol solution into the solution according to a stoichiometric proportion, then adding a certain amount of
citric acid as complexing agent into the solution, adding
polyethylene glycol into the solution, and stirring the solution for 2 hours to obtain an even transparent
sol precursor; spraying and
drying the obtained precursor solution to obtain precursor
powder; and putting the precursor
powder into a programmed temperature rising furnace, heating the precursor powder to between 600 and 1,000 DEG C, and then keeping the precursor powder for 3 hours at a constant temperature to obtain CaTiO3:Pr<3+> luminescent powder. The
praseodymium-doped
calcium titanate luminescent powder prepared by the method has good
crystallization degree and high purity, and is a CaTiO3 pure phase of a
perovskite structure.
