The invention discloses a
europium doped
lanthanide silicon oxynitride, of which the chemical general formula is La5-5xEu5xSi3O12N, wherein x is more than 0 and less than 0.25. The preparation method comprises the steps of: (a) weighing raw materials:
lanthanum trioxide,
silicon dioxide,
silicon nitride and
europium oxide, according to the
molar ratio of the
chemical formula La5-5xEu5xSi3O12N (x is more than 0 and less than 0.25); (b) ball-milling the raw materials and tabletting; (c) putting tablets into a high temperature furnace, under the
nitrogen hydrogen atmosphere, raising the
furnace temperature to 1000-1250 DEG C, and
sintering for 3-10 hours; (d) turning off a
hydrogen source, under the environment of charging
nitrogen gas, keeping the high temperature furnace at a pressure of 0.5-1MPa, raising the
furnace temperature to 1450-1550 DEG C, and continuously
sintering the tablets for 3-10 hours; and (e) ventilating to release the pressure in the furnace to be an ordinary pressure,
cooling down the high temperature furnace to
room temperature by circulating under the
nitrogen-
hydrogen mixed
atmosphere, taking out the sample tablets, and
grinding, thus obtaining a fluorescent material. The fluorescent material prepared by the preparation method is stable in physicochemical property, convenient to control
luminescence property, simple in preparation method, and free from environmental
pollution, and is applicable to industrialized
mass production.
