ChemInform Abstract: Long Persistent Composite Phosphor CaAl2O4:Eu2+,Nd3+/Y3 Al5O12:Ce3+: A Novel Strategy to Tune the Colors of Persistent Luminescence.
The phosphor CaAl2O4:0.125%Eu2+,0.25%Nd3+ is synthesized by reaction of stoichiometric mixtures of CaCO3, Al2O3, Eu2O3, Nd2O3, and a 3% excess of H3BO3 as a flux (5% H2/95% N2 stream, 1400 °C, 4 h).
