摘要

Almost monodisperse three-dimensional (3D) BaMoO4, BaMoO4:Eu3+ micron-octahedrons and micron-flowers were successfully prepared via a large-scale and facile sonochemical route without using any catalysts or templates. X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersion X-ray (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were employed to characterize the as-obtained products. It was found that size modulation could be easily realized by changing the concentrations of reactants and the pH value of precursors. The formation mechanism for micron-octahedrons and micron-flowers was proposed on the basis of time-dependent experiments. Using excitation wavelengths of 396 or 466nm for BaMoO4:Eu3+ phosphors, an intense emission line at 614nm was observed. These phosphors might be promising components with possible application in the fields of near UV- and blue-excited white light-emitting diodes. Simultaneously, this novel and efficient pathway could open new opportunities for further investigating the properties of molybdate materials.
