Abstract

We have synthesized a series of nanocrysatlline (5±3 nm in diameter) and submicrom ZnS:Ag,Al phosphors with various dopant compositions via a newly developed emulsion method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), EDS, SEM, and TEM were utilized in the characterization of phase purity and microstructure of phosphor particles. Photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra were also utilized to characterize the optical properties of blue-emitting phosphor. The CL intensity of submicron ZnS:Ag,Al phosphor was found to be weaker than that of corresponding commercial product, which was attributed to the poor crystallinity and small grain size. In this article we described the synthesis of ZnS:Ag,Al nanophosphor with emphasis on the correlation between spectroscopic features and the microstructure.
