Resumo
Neste trabalho investigou-se a influência da concentração dos agentes complexantes etilenoglicol (EG) e sorbitol (SB) nas propriedades estruturais e fotoluminescentes do luminóforo Y2O3:Eu3+ (2 mol%) obtido pelo método Pechini modificado. A quimiometria, em especial, planejamento de experimentos (Design of Experiments – DOE), foi aplicada para planejar a proporção dos precursores dos luminóforos. Todos os dados estruturais, morfológicos e espectroscópicos relacionados aos luminóforos preparados pela variação dos parâmetros de síntese foram sistematicamente interpretados pelo uso de ferramentas de quimiometria de forma a gerar uma análise comparativa consistente entre todos os óxidos. Padrões de difração de todas as amostras são característicos da estrutura forma-C de óxido de ítrio, e a equação de Scherrer aplicada aos dados de difração de raios X indicaram que ambos agentes complexantes resultaram em partículas de Y2O3:Eu3+ com tamanho de cristalito similares no intervalo de 19 a 28 nm. Por imagens de microscopia eletrônica de varredura e de transmissão foi possível confirmar que independente do precursor utilizado, são formados aglomerados de partículas esferoidais com diâmetro de 10 a 30 nm no caso de óxidos obtidos via etilenoglicol e diâmetros maiores de 10 a 50 nm para partículas preparadas utilizando sorbitol. Espectros de fotoluminescência de todos os luminóforos exibiram as emissões no vermelho no intervalo de 550–750 nm esperadas atribuídas a todas as transições 4f–4f do Eu3+. Apesar do fato de nenhum diferença detectável ter sido observada no perfil dos espectros, o que indica que o ambiente ocupado pelo Eu3+ deve ser idêntico em todas as amostras independente do tipo de agente complexante utilizado, luminóforos preparados a partir de sorbitol apresentaram maior intensidade relativa de emissão. A análise dos dados ópticos também permitiu estabelecer as melhores proporções dos precursores do luminóforo que resultaram nos emissores de maior intensidade relativa. Em adição, as amostras com maior intensidade de luminescência preparadas com etilenoglicol foram aquelas com menor valor de energia liberada no principal pico exotérmico da curva DSC e com menor tamanho de cristalito. E as amostras preparadas com sorbitol com maior intensidade de luminescência, foram aquelas produzidas com menor valor de energia liberada no principal pico exotérmico da curva DSC e com maior tamanho de cristalito. Além disso, é possível concluir que o luminóforo vermelho Y2O3:Eu3+ preparado com sorbitol possui intensidade relativa de emissão maior do que as amostras preparadas com etilenoglicol, além disso, o sorbitol é um reagente de menor custo, não tóxico como o EG e o seu uso tornou a síntese bem mais rápida, tais vantagens reduzem consideravelmente os custos da síntese.
The investigation of ethylene glycol (EG) and sorbitol (SB) complexing agents concentration on structural and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Y2O3:Eu3+ (2 mol%) oxides obtained by Pechini method is reported. The chemometrics, in special, Design of Experiments (DOE), was applied to plan phosphor precursor’s ratio. All structural, morphological and spectroscopic data related to the phosphors produced by synthesis parameters variation were systematically interpreted by using chemometrics tools in order to provide a consistent comparative analysis of all oxides. Diffraction patterns for all samples are characteristic of yttrium oxide C-form structure, and Scherrer's equation applied to X-ray diffraction data indicated that both complex agents yielded Y2O3:Eu3+ particles with similar crystallite size in the range of 19 to 28 nm. By SEM and TEM images it was possible to confirm that particles, independently on the precursor used, form agglomerates of spheroidal particles with a diameter in the range of 10 to 30 nm in the case of the oxides obtained via ethylene glycol and a larger diameter range of 10 to 50 nm for the particles produced by using sorbitol. Photoluminescence data for all phosphors exhibit the expected red emission in the range of 550–750 nm ascribed to all Eu3+ 4f–4f set of transitions. Despite the fact that no detectable difference is observed in the spectra profile indicating that Eu3+ environment should be identical for all samples independent on the agent complex used, phosphors prepared using sorbitol showed the higher relative intensity emission. Samples with higher intensity of luminescence prepared with ethylene glycol were those with the lowest amount of energy released in the main exothermic peak of the DSC curve and less crystallite size and the samples prepared with sorbitol with higher intensity of luminescence, were those produced with lower amount of energy released in the main exothermic peak of the DSC curve and larger crystallite size . Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that the red phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ prepared with sorbitol has higher relative emission intensity than the samples prepared with ethylene glycol, in addition, sorbitol is a less costly reagent, non-toxic and its use has a much faster synthesis, such advantages significantly reduce the costs of synthesis.
