Preparation and luminescent properties of mesoporous (SBA-15)-Eu2O3 nano materials

The CH3-(SBA-15) and (SBA-15)-Eu2O3 host-gust nanocomposite materials were synthesized by post-synthesis method, ultrasonic synthesis method (UM) and ultrasonic assisted synthesis methods (UAM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption method were used to observe the structure, the surface morphology and the chemical composites of the prepared products. The luminescent properties, and the luminescent intensity of the samples were studied by excitation and emission spectra. The results showed that, for the (SBA-15)-Eu2O3 composite materials, the hexagonal pore structure of the SBA-15 molecular sieve was maintained. The luminescent intensity of the UM sample was about 6 times higher than that of the mechanical mixture of SBA-15 and nano-Eu2O3 (5 wt %). The excitation spectrum intensity was 2 times higher than that of the mechanical mixture.
