Luminescent Metal-Ceramic Phosphor Composite

Abstract:

When solar energy irradiates conductive metal surfaces, it is primarily converted into heat due to the generation of eddy currents on the metal surface. However, combining metals with inorganic ceramic long-persistent phosphors enables the storage and reuse of solar energy. In this study, a chemical precipitation method was employed to coat nickel precursors onto SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ (SAO) ceramic phosphors, which emit a broad green spectrum at 520 nm under 440 nm excitation. A uniform nickel shell was successfully deposited on the surface of the phosphor particles, with only a slight decrease in photoluminescence intensity. The formation of a complete shell layer was confirmed through EDS elemental mapping analysis. Advanced oxidation heat treatment effectively produced a NiO shell and enhanced the structural integrity of SrAl₂O₄. Subsequent reduction heat treatment converted the NiO into a metallic nickel shell. This metallic layer improved the wettability and interfacial bonding between SAO and nickel backbone, providing increased resistance to mechanical stress. Due to the larger surface area of the foamed nickel structure, the resulting porous phosphor composite demonstrated superior luminescent performance compared to traditional phosphor-metal castings. This innovative phosphor-metal composite shows great potential for novel lighting applications in the metal and lighting industry.
