The present invention relates to the field of luminescent material, in particular to a metal nanoparticle-coating titanate fluorescent material and preparation method therefor.
Currently, most commercial fluorescent materials are prepared by high-temperature solid-phase method, by which the appearance of the resulting fluorescent material is uneven, where repeatedly milling is required to achieve the desired particle size (5 to 10 μm), and that the luminescent intensity of the fluorescent material sometimes would be weaken by the defects thus generated and the impurities thus introduced during milling, which renders the luminescent intensity of the fluorescent material low.
Introduction of the concept of the core-shell material for use in inorganic fluorescent materials results in the formation of a spherical, size and morphology-controlled core-shell structured luminescent material. Further, the spherical morphology renders a higher bulk density, which facilitates the screen-coating process and improves the display performance. However, the luminescent intensity of the currently produced core-shell structured fluorescent material is relatively low.
On this basis, for the low luminescent intensity problem of the core-shell structured fluorescent material currently in use, it is necessary to provide a metal nanoparticle-coating titanate fluorescent material having a higher luminescent intensity, and a preparation method thereof.
