Synthesis of Y3Al5O12:Eu2+ Phosphor by a Facile Hydrogen Iodide‐AssistedSol–Gel Method

Pure yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) phosphor doped with Eu2+ has been successfully synthesized by a facile sol–gel method. The use of hydrogen iodide aimed to get Eu2+ ions, confirmed by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis. Nearly spherical and well dispersed particles were synthesized. The produced YAG:Eu2+ phosphor powder had a broad emission band in the range of 400–600 nm with a peak at 480 nm, attributed to the allowed 4f7–4f65d1 transition of electrons in Eu2+ ions. The proposed method could also be expanded to prepare many other Eu2+-doped phosphors with a solution method.
