摘要

In this study, a novel 3YSZ luminescent ceramic material with a vibrant yellow color was synthesized using the solid phase method. This was achieved by introducing chemical defects through ion doping to address the issue of significant volatility of colorant-doped 3YSZ ceramic at high temperatures and the instability associated with coloring ion doping. The study reveals that Pr3+ substitutes for Zr4+ to form a negatively charged defect (Pr3+ occupies the position of Zr4+), leading to the occurrence of point defect oxygen vacancy ( \({V}_{O}^{\bullet \bullet }\) ) as a chemical defect in the system for charge balance. The analysis of UV-Vis spectroscopy, based on Tauc theory, reveals a reduction in the band gap from 3.03 eV to 2.25 eV. It indicates that Pr ions can affect the band structure. Therefore, when regulating the valence change of Pr (3+/4+) in 3YSZ materials, leading to the reduction of oxygen vacancy (Ov), band gap, and spectral redshift. Under 447 nm photoexcitation, 0.25 wt% Pr ion doped 3YSZ showed the strongest luminescence, showing five emission peaks generated by the Pr3+ ion radiation transition, and the ceramics showed a yellow hue. The luminescent oxides doped by Pr ions with ZrO2 may be promising candidates for high temperature applications in industry.
