摘要
A strong blue-white emission phosphor Sr2CeO4 superfine particles, containing SrCe4O7, have been synthesized using a citrate-gel method. The crystalline phase and luminescence properties of superfine particles are reported. The results show that the strong blue-white emission is assigned to Ce4+–O2− charge-transfer transition (CTT) of Sr2CeO4 and is not related to a lattice defect. The emission spectrum of post-heat-treated particles exhibits a broad band maximum at 470 nm, and the emission intensity is not affected by the existence of SeCe4O7.
