摘要

T-type La0.998Pr0.002VO₄ phosphor was synthesized via a hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 16 h under varying pH values. The results indicate that while pH value has no impact on the crystal structure, a nanorod morphology is achieved at pH = 8. The emission spectra, under excitation at 315 nm, reveal a broad emission band attributed to the VO43− charge transfer (VCT) transition and a sharp emission peak corresponding to the characteristic 1D2 → 3H4 electronic transition of Pr3⁺ ions. The highest emission intensity is observed for the phosphor synthesized at pH = 8, approximately 1.5 times greater than that of the phosphor prepared at pH = 5, which is attributed to the optimized nanorod structure. Furthermore, the decay time for the phosphor synthesized at pH = 8 is 8.62 ms, the longest among all samples, highlighting enhanced luminescent performance. These findings demonstrate that various particle morphologies of color-tunable t-type La0.998Pr0.002VO₄ phosphors can be achieved by adjusting the pH value during synthesis, making them promising candidates for advanced photonic and lighting applications.
