Abstract

The BaZrO3 doped with europium(III) and codoped with alkali ions (Li+, Na+ and K+) nanophosphor series was prepared by sol-gel synthesis. The materials thus obtained were heated to 10500C to improve the crystallinity and their morphology was examined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy respectively. XRD spectra showed perovskite cubic structure for the materials BaZrO3 Eu3+, M+(M=Li+, Na+, K+) having smooth and regular surface. The phosphors emitted red color and the emission were due to 5D0&
