Study on Different Synthesis Methods of Spherical YAG:Ce3+ Phosphor and its Luminescence Properties

Spherical YAG:Ce3+ phosphors were synthesized by three different routes namely sol-gel method, co-precipitation method and solvethermal method. The microstructure, crystallization and luminescent properties of the phosphors were studied in order to find the best processing parameter for spherical shape and good luminescence properties of YAG:Ce3+ phosphor. Adding citric acid to the precursor solution resulted in the formation of spherical particles in sol-gel method. YAG:Ce3+ phosphor made by co-precipitation method was separated with PEG2000, and its spherical particles of size was around 500nm. The hydro-thermal method could get perfect spherical appearance, but it needed heat treatment improve the luminescence property.
