    Abstract

    The present invention relates to a polysulfide upconversion phosphor, and belongs to the field of new optical function materials. The phosphor uses polysulfide as a substrate and rare earth ions as activators, and has a general formula of composition: mA.sub.2S.Math.nBS.Math.kC.sub.2-xS.sub.3:D.sub.x. The upconversion phosphor provided by the present invention can emit ultraviolet, blue, blue-green, green, red and near-infrared light when excited by near infrared light at 750-1650 nm.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    [0028] Different compositions and luminescence properties of the polysulfide of the present invention are described below through specific embodiments.

    [0029] Reference embodiment 1:green upconversion phosphor of commercial β-NaYF.sub.4:Yb,Er. Reference embodiment 2:blue upconversion phosphor of commercial β-NaYF.sub.4:Yb,Tm. Reference embodiment 3:red upconversion phosphor of commercial Y.sub.2O.sub.3:Yb,Er.

    [0030] The sample of the present invention is prepared by a solid phase reaction method, and raw materials are weighed according to the molar ratio of the constituent elements. The raw materials may be oxides, carbonates, oxalates, nitrates, acetate and sulfates of the elements mentioned in the technical solution. The raw materials are porphyrized and mixed evenly by a dry mixing method, put into a crucible, placed in a high temperature furnace, and calcined in a vulcanization atmosphere (such as H.sub.2S and CS.sub.2) at 900-1400° C. for 1-50 h. The calcination time is adjusted according to the amount of the materials. To improve the brightness, a small amount of cosolvent, such as 0-20 wt % of AF and/or BF.sub.2, including NH.sub.4Cl, NH.sub.4F, MgF.sub.2, CaF.sub.2, SrF.sub.2 and BaF.sub.2, can be added to the raw materials, which can significantly improve the upconversion luminescence efficiency.

    [0031] The present invention measures the luminescence brightness or luminescence intensity of the sample to evaluate the luminescence efficiency. The specific measurement method of the luminescence brightness comprises: placing the sample in a black disk with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 5 mm, and flattening the sample with a glass sheet to eliminate the influence caused by scattering. An excitation light source is a semiconductor laser. For visible light samples, after the sample is irradiated by a laser, the brightness of the sample is measured by a brightness meter. Commercial β-NaYF.sub.4:Yb,Er (green), β-NaYF.sub.4:Yb,Tm (blue) and Y.sub.2O.sub.3:Yb,Er (red), which have the highest upconversion luminescence efficiency at present, are used as reference samples. For invisible samples, compared with a method for measuring the luminescence intensity by a spectrometer, all test conditions are consistent in a set of embodiments.

    [0032] Embodiment 1: Y.sub.2O.sub.3 (99.99%) and Er.sub.2O.sub.3 (99.99%) are used as initial raw materials. The raw materials are weighed according to a chemical formula ratio Y.sub.1.9S.sub.3:Er.sub.0.01, fully ground for 30 minutes, and placed in a quartz tube; and then the quartz tube is placed in a resistance furnace. CS.sub.2 bubbles are introduced by Ar gas, or H.sub.2S gas containing Ar carrier gas is directly used; then, the sample is heated to 1050° C. at a speed of 10° C./min, preserved at the temperature for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature; and the sample is ground to obtain a target product. A 1500 nm laser is used as the excitation source and compared with reference embodiment 1. The performance indexes are shown in the following table.

    [0033] Embodiment 2 to embodiment 17 can be obtained by the similar methods.

    [0034] The influences of other parameters not listed in embodiments 1-17 on luminescence colors, luminescence intensity and thermal properties can also be obtained by the methods similar to those of embodiments 1-17. When A=Rb or Cs, there is a similar result as A=K, but Rb and Cs are more expensive. When A is used in combination, the performance is better. The combination of A=Li and K can make the particle size of the product more uniform. Under the condition of keeping the luminescence intensity unchanged, the reaction temperature can be appropriately reduced by 50-100° C. When B=Be, Ba, or Cd, there are similar results as B=Ca, but considering the environmental protection requirements, products containing these elements may encounter difficulties when applied. When B=Zn, the flow rate and the reducibility of a carrier gas atmosphere should be controlled. When C=Al, Ga or Bi, it is usually used for replacing no more than 30% of La, Gd, Lu, Y or Sc, which can improve the luminescence intensity by about 5-13%. When D=Er, the used ranges of the excitation wavelengths are 1450-1600 nm, 920-1150 nm and 780-860 nm. The three excitation wavelengths can be used separately or simultaneously, and the effect is similar to that of the 1500 nm excitation light source. The selection of the wavelengths of the excitation light source depends on the application conditions and the laser wavelengths available in bulk on the market. For luminescence brightness, infrared light in the wavelength range of 1450-1600 nm is used>infrared light in the wavelength range of 920-1150 nm is used>infrared light in the wavelength range of 780-860 nm is used. Especially, infrared light in the range of 1450-1600 nm has a safe wavelength for human eyes and has the highest brightness, which is particularly advantageous for application. In the above embodiment, a small amount of cosolvent is added to the raw materials, such as 0-20 wt % of NH.sub.4Cl, NH.sub.4F, MgF.sub.2, CaF.sub.2, SrF.sub.2, BaF.sub.2, etc., which can further improve the luminescence brightness by 5-28%. The combined use realizes better performance.

    [0035] When RE=Er, the physical properties of the material can also be changed through combination and co-doping with other RE ions, such as luminescence colors and endothermic performance. If a small amount of (x=0.01-0.3) Mo and W is added, the red luminescence component in the luminescence spectrum can be significantly reduced, and the color purity of green luminescence can be increased by 2-10 times. If Ho, Tm or Pr is added, the red luminescence component in the luminescence spectrum can be increased; the color purity of red luminescence can be increased by 2-15 times; and the luminescence brightness is 110-180% of that of reference embodiment 3 under the same excitation condition. At the same time the color purity of red luminescence is 200-300% of that of reference embodiment 3. If Yb, Ce, Sm, Tb, Eu or Nd is added, the thermal properties can be significantly enhanced and the luminescence colors can be changed; and at the same power density, the temperature rise of the sample can be more than doubled.

    [0036] When RE=Ho, the excitation wavelength can be changed to 1100-1190 nm, and the color purity of the green luminescence is more than 150% higher than that of RE=Er. When RE=Tm, the excitation wavelength can be changed to 1180-1260 nm and 760-850 nm, and the brightness of green luminescence is 150-300% of that of reference embodiment 2 under the same excitation conditions, thereby widening the application range. Through further combination with other RE, panchromatic luminescence can be obtained, or the color purity can be adjusted.

    [0037] When the values of m, n, k and x are beyond the range of embodiments 1-17, such as m=0.2-2, n=0.1-6, k=0.3-0.9, k=1.1-2.5 and x=0.2-2, the sample also has a good luminescence effect, but the luminescence intensity is reduced by 5-53% compared with embodiments 1-17 under the same conditions.

    [0038] Embodiment 18: NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1

    [0039] Y.sub.2O.sub.3 (99.99%), Er.sub.2O.sub.3 (99.99%) and Na.sub.2CO.sub.3 (99.99%) are used as initial raw materials. The raw materials are weighed according to a chemical formula ratio NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1, fully ground for 30 minutes, and placed in a quartz tube; and then the quartz tube is placed in a resistance furnace. CS.sub.2 bubbles are introduced by Ar gas; then, the sample is heated to 1050° C. at a speed of 10° C./min, preserved at the temperature for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature; and the sample is ground to obtain a target product.

    [0040] FIG. 1 shows the upconversion luminescence spectrum of NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1 sample under 1550 nm excitation. It can be seen that the NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1 sample shows green emission at 512-578 nm band and red emission at 640-698 nm, corresponding to Er.sup.3+ transitions at energy levels .sup.4S.sub.3/2.fwdarw..sup.4I.sub.15/2, .sup.2H.sub.11/2.fwdarw..sup.4I.sub.15/2 and .sup.4F.sub.9/2.fwdarw..sup.4I.sub.15/2, respectively.

    [0041] To further evaluate the upconversion luminescence performance of NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1, the luminescence brightness data of the NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1 samples under the 980 nm and 1550 nm excitation of the same power are compared with reference embodiment 1 (FIG. 2). Under 1550 nm excitation, NaY.sub.0.9S.sub.2:Er.sub.0.1 has very high upconversion luminescence efficiency, and the brightness is −60 times that of 980 nm excitation, and even more than twice that of commercial NaYF.sub.4:Yb, Er under 980 nm excitation.
