Dual-emitting temperature dependent material based on Bi3+/Eu3+ co-activated Ba2Y2Si4O13 phosphor with multicolor anti-counterfeiting

Bi³⁺, Eu³⁺ co-doped Ba₂Y₂Si₄O₁₃ phosphors with multi-color luminescence properties were prepared by high temperature solid state method. The structure, luminescent properties and temperature characteristics were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, fluorescence spectrum and temperature-dependence of emission spectrum. Ba₂Y₂Si₄O₁₃: Bi³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors can emit color from cyan to red when the excitation wavelength was changed from 340 nm to 390 nm, which is attributed to that there are two Bi³⁺ ion emission centers, and their emission intensity will change with the change of excitation wavelength. Moreover, the emission of the phosphor has good temperature sensing characteristics, based on the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two blue emission bands of Bi³⁺ and the red emission peak of Eu³⁺, a multimode thermometer with high temperature sensitivity was constructed. At the same time, based on the dynamic luminescence characteristics of the phosphor, the dynamic anti-counterfeiting experiments are designed. Therefore, the results show that the material has a bright prospect in the field of temperature sensing and anti-counterfeiting.
