Abstract

In this report, we investigated a single-step process for formation of high crystallinity Y2O3:Eu3+ red nanophosphor by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) without post-heat treatments. Crystallinity of as-formed nanophosphor particle was improved by addition of urea to the nitrate-based liquid precursor. Urea increased the temperature in the flame zone thus ensuring Y2O3:Eu3+ formation at higher flame temperature. Higher temperature reached during combustion of urea promoted the formation of better crystallinity, nano-sized and spherical-shaped particles. The effect of urea in the precursor to obtain high-efficiency Y2O3:Eu3+ nanophosphor was studied.
