© 2018 International Union of Crystallography. Luminescence due to the d-f transition of Ce3+ is quite rare in metal-organic complexes where concentrate quenching frequently occurs. One of the possible ways to avoid this is to design an architecture with elongated metal-metal distances. In the structure of the title complex, triaquatris(1,1,1-trifluoro-4-oxopentan-2-olato-2O,O0)cerium(III), [Ce(C5H4F3O2)3(H2O)3], the CeIII complex is linked to neighbouring ones by hydrogen bonding. Within the complex, the CeIII atom is coordinated by nine O atoms from three 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-oxopentan-2-olate (tfa) anions as bidentate ligands and three water molecules as monodentate ligands. Thus, the coordination number of CeIII atom is nine in a monocapped square-antiprismatic polyhedron. The F atoms of all three independent CF3 groups in tfa are disordered over two positions with occupancy ratios of about 0.8:0.2. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the ligands involve tfa-water interactions along the [110] and [110] directions, generating an overall two-dimensional layered network structure. The presence of the F atoms in the tfa anion is responsible for an increased intermolecular metal-metal distance compared to that in the analogous acetylacetonate (acac) derivatives. Fluorescence from Ce3+ is, however, not observed.

Magnesium metavanadate dihydrate (MgV2O6.2H(2)O) was synthesized as a nanophosphor by a water assisted solid-state reaction (WASSR) method, and its crystal structure and luminescence properties were investigated in detail. MgV2O6.2H(2)O has an orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma. In the crystal structure, the MgO6 octahedra and VO4 tetrahedra formed a layered structure in the direction of the b axis, and the VO4 tetrahedra formed a chain structure along the a axis. The nanophosphor showed broad and strong optical absorption in the near-ultraviolet region and exhibited a broad yellow emission peak at 563 nm. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

© 2017 the Partner Organisations. Novel Eu2+-activated phosphate phosphors based on high-temperature phase σ-Ba2P2O7, which is an unstable phase at room temperature, were synthesized for the first time by a melt synthesis technique using an arc-imaging furnace. By doping Mg2+ into the host lattice, Eu2+-activated σ-Ba2P2O7 phosphors were successfully obtained in a single phase form of a hexagonal structure and the emission intensity was also effectively enhanced. The relative emission peak intensity of the σ-(Ba0.67Eu0.03Mg0.30)2P2O7 phosphor was 315% of that for the σ-(Ba0.97Eu0.03)2P2O7 phosphor. The emission color tunable from green emission with a peak at 516 nm to yellow emission with a peak at 551 nm can be achieved by controlling the Mg2+ content in the σ-(Ba0.97-yEu0.03Mgy)2P2O7 phosphors.

Most conventional white light emitting diodes (white-LEDs) that are widely used as a new lighting system in next generation lights with Y3Al5O12: Ce3+ (YAG: Ce3+)-based phosphors have a low colour rendering index (CRI) because the YAG: Ce3+ phosphor shows a weak emission intensity in the red spectral region. Therefore, discovering a red-emitting phosphor with a high-efficiency is quite important to enhance the CRI of white-LEDs. In this study, we successfully discovered a novel, red-emitting Ce3+-activated Sr3Sc4O9 phosphor that can be excited by blue-light irradiation at 425 nm. A crystal structure of the host material was first determined by Rietveld refinement, which indicated that it should be isostructural with Ba(3)Ln(4)O(9) (Ln = Sc, Y and Dy-Lu). As the Ce3+ content increased, the X-ray diffraction patterns shifted to a lower angle, which suggested that the Ce3+ ion could substitute Sc in the Sr3Sc4O9 host. Under UV and blue-light excitation, the Ce3+-activated Sr3Sc4O9 phosphor exhibited a broad emission band with a maximum peak at 620 nm, and its full width half maximum (FWHM) was 180 nm (4530 cm(-1)). The highest emission intensity was obtained for Sr-3(Sc0.997Ce0.003)(4)O-9, and the internal quantum efficiency of this phosphor under excitation at 425 nm was 53%. To the best of our knowledge, the emission band of the Ce3+-activated Sr3Sc4O9 phosphor is the longest wavelength for a reported Ce3+-activated oxide phosphor.

Yellow phosphors are the major components of contemporary solid-state lights. YAG:Ce3+ is a widely adopted yellow phosphor component; however, it too has limitations. Here, we report the synthesis and application of a very highly efficient yellow-emitting orthosilicate phosphor. Yellow-emitting Sr1.44Ba0.46SiO4:0.1Eu(2+) was synthesized by an unconventional cellulose template liquid phase precursor process (CTLPP). The naturally abundant and nonhazardous cellulose template facilitates efficient synthesis at lower temperatures. The synthesized phosphor was indexed to alpha-Sr2SiO4 phase and exhibited broad excitation and broad emission with a peak at 545 nm, very high intensity, almost 130% of commercial YAG upon excitation at 450 nm. The morphology of the phosphors was also nearly spherical, which also enables their use in WLEDs. Use of non-stoichiometric Si precursors (i.e. Sr1.44Ba0.46SixO4:0.1Eu(2+), x = 0.95, 1.0 and 1.05) in the process resulted in remarkable effects on the morphology (size and surface) and luminescent characteristics and exceptional quantum efficiencies of the phosphors.

We here prepared polystyrene-derived carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)(3) composite (NVP/C) cathode materials via a solid-phase reaction using a mixture of NVP precursor and polystyrene (as the carbon source), followed by calcination at high temperatures. Using this method, we were able to obtain active NVP materials with relatively high purity while allowing a uniform surface coating with carbon layers about 3-4 nm thick. This structure significantly prevented NVP particle growth even after calcination at high temperatures. The NVP/C material calcined at 700 degrees C exhibited the best charge-discharge performance among the samples studied. (C) 2017 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

Novel inorganic sky-blue pigments, Ca6Ba(P1-xMnx)4O(17) (0 <= x <= 0.13) were synthesized in a single phase form by a conventional solid-state reaction method and their color properties were investigated in the detail. The pigments exhibited strong optical absorption in the UV and the yellow-red light regions due to the cT transition in MnO4 tetrahedra and the DMSO-d(6) transitions of Mn5+, which is the origin of the sky-blue color. The optimization of the composition resulted in the attainment of the highest sky-blue hue for the Ca6Ba(P0.99Mn0.01)4O(17), where the L*, a*, b*, C, and H values are 75.47, -11.67, -10.29, 15:6, and 221.4 degrees, respectively. These pigments showed a low chemical stability of color for acid/alkali solution, whereas the pigments showed an excellent color durability for heat and light. Although they are required to improve the chemical stability of color, the present pigment could be an attractive candidate as a novel environment friendly inorganic sky-blue pigment.(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Novel nontoxic LaAl1-xMnxGe2O7 (0.01 <= x <= 0.20) violet pigments were synthesized through a conventional solid-state reaction. The crystal structures, optical properties, and color properties of these pigments were investigated. The LaAl1-xMnxGe2O7 (0.01 <= x <= 0.20) pigments prepared in the present study show excellent potential as environmentally friendly inorganic violet pigments. These pigments exhibit a strong optical absorption in the yellow-red light region due to the Mn3+ d-d transitions, which is the origin of the violet color. Among the obtained LaAl1-xMnxGe2O7 (0.01 <= x <= 0.20) pigments, LaAl0.90Mn0.10Ge2O7 showed the most vivid violet color and the L*, a*, and b* values are 50.8, 18.0, and -29.7, respectively, values greater than those of a commercial cobalt violet pigment (Co-3(PO4)(2); L* = 46, a* = 33, b* = 32). Because the LaAl0.90Mn0.10Ge2O7 pigment is composed of nontoxic elements, this pigment can be an effective alternative to currently used commercial violet pigments. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Rb3V5O14, which was successfully synthesized by a water assisted solid state reaction (WASSR) method, is a fluorescent red pigment that is environmentally friendly. The Rb3V5O14 fluorescent pigment showed a strong optical absorption in the green light region due to the energy transfer from O2- 2p orbital to V5+ 3d orbital of VO5 polyhedra and band-gap energy of Rb3V5O14 was 2.02 eV. The fluorescent pigment presented a broad red emission peaked at 625 nm due to the T-3(2) -> (1)A(1) and T-3(1) -> (1)A(1) transitions of the [VO4](3-) group. The Rb3V5O14 fluorescent pigment showed a bright-vivid red body color, and the L*, a*, and b* values were 47.4, +45.9, and +34.4, respectively. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Thus, the coordination number of the La atom is nine in a monocapped square antiprismatic polyhedron. There are three types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between ligands, the first involving nitrate-water O⋯H - O interactions running along the [001] direction, the second involving acac-water O⋯H - O interactions along the [010] direction and the third involving an Im-nitrate N - H⋯O interaction along the [100] direction (five interactions of this type). Thus, an overall one-dimensional network structure is generated. The molecular plane of an ImH molecule is almost parallel to that of a nitrate ligand, making an angle of only 6.04(12)°. Interestingly, the ImH plane is nearly perpendicular to the planes of two neighbouring acac ligands.

A single-phase red-emitting NaEu(MoO4)(2) phosphor with nanosized particles was synthesized using a water-assisted solid state reaction (WASSR) method, a new low-temperature synthesis method developed by our group. NaEu(MoO4)(2) exhibits a monoclinic structure with a space group C2/c (no. 15), which is composed of a Na/EuO8 dodecahedron with the site occupancy of Na/Eu = 1 : 1 and an MoO4 tetrahedron. To enhance the emission intensity of the NaEu(MoO4)(2) phosphor, Gd3+ was doped into the Eu3+ sites and NaEu1-xGdx(MoO4)(2) (0 < x <= 0.50) samples were synthesized using the WASSR method. The emission intensity of the phosphors was successfully enhanced by increasing the Gd3+ content in the samples with 0 <= x <= 0.30, but was reduced with x > 0.30. This indicates that the optimum composition of the phosphor for achieving a high emission intensity that is similar to 3.8 times higher than that of the NaEu(MoO4)(2) (x = 0) phosphor is NaEu0.70Gd0.30(MoO4)(2). These phosphors exhibit a granular particle morphology with the particle size of the phosphor being similar to 200 nm.

MSi2O2N2 (M=Ba, Sr, Ca) crystal structure was obtained from M0.98Si2O2N2: Eu-0.02(2+) phosphor fired at 1400 degrees C using the PLPP process. However these phosphors were not synthesized through the SSR process at same temperature. M0.98Si2O2N2: Eu-0.02(2+)(M=Ba, Sr, Ca) phosphors from PLPP produced a blue color emission at 487 nm (380 nm excitation), a green color emission at 528 nm (374 nm excitation), and a yellow color emission at 538 nm (371 nm excitation). M0.98Si2O2N2: Eu-0.02(2+) phosphors from PLPP had higher luminescence and crystallinity compared with those obtained from the SSR process. The prepared phosphors were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

The lanthanum oxysulfide phosphor La2O2S:Tb3+ is generally synthesized by the direct sulfidation of La2O3 using H2S or CS2 gas. However, these gases are known to be highly toxic to humans. In this paper, a new synthesis method that uses 0.6U(2)SO(4)-0.4Na(2)SO(4) as the flux is proposed for obtaining La2O2S:Tb3+ phosphor, without the need for H2S or CS2 gas. The proposed method consists of two steps: 1) oxidation to obtain La2O2SO4 and 2) reduction to reduce La2O2SO4 to La2O2S. Using this novel method, (La1-xTbx)(2)O2S (0.01 <x < 0.13) were successfully synthesized in a single-phase form. The synthesized phosphors exhibited extraordinary luminescence behavior. Further, despite their low Tb3+ ion content, the phosphors showed high emission intensities. The relative emission intensity of (La0.95Tb0.05)(2)O2S (lambda(ex) = 270 nm) was 132% that of the commercial green-emitting phosphor (La0.52Ce0.31Tb0.17)PO4 (lambda(ex) = 285 nm), which shows the highest excitation absorption.

BaAl2Si2O8: Eu2+ + xSiO(2) (x = 0, 1, 2 and 3) has been synthesized with phosphors via novel liquid phase precursor (LPP) method. The best crystalline BaAl2Si2O8 : Eu2+ phosphor could not be synthesized as the calcination temperature is inadequate fully to crystalize the phosphor leading to the crystal and amorphous. Albeit, the firing temperature is insufficient so as to form the fine crystal, the added excess SiO2 could act as an additive for the crystallization of the phosphor. As a function of SiO2, the size of the crystal has been augmented and formed fine crystals with the concentration of added SiO2. Moreover, the added excess SiO2 makes SiOC : Eu2+ phosphor as a deep blue illumination at 440 nm. Photoluminescence intensity of the phosphors is increased continuously by the addition of SiO2 heretofore x = 3. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to synthesize and observe carefully for photoluminescence properties with regard to the crystalline structure, optical property and surface morphology.

Green emitting phosphor (Ba1-xSr1-x)SiO4:2xEu(2+), x = 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 were synthesized through a Liquid Phase Precursor Process (LPP). Liquid phase precursor method is reported to result in phosphors with markedly increased emission intensities compared to other synthesis methods. Here microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) templates were studied to achieve high efficiency green phosphors. The phase formation was investigated by XRD analysis which showed the conformation of the Ba2SiO4 (JCPDS card number 761631) phase. The obtained samples exhibited broad excitation spectra with maximum at 430 nm and a green emission centered around 520 nm. An optimized dopant concentration was selected and the effect of two different types of cellulose, i.e. MCC and HPC templates on the emission properties was considered. It was found that the samples synthesized using HPC and fired at 1050 degrees C under a reducing atmosphere, showed a high intensity of almost 2 times that of the MCC sample. Further experiments were conducted by varying viscosity, particle weight, and molecular weight of the HPC template. It was found that the green emission from the (Ba,Sr)SiO4:Eu2+ increased with the increase in viscosity and molecular weight of the template. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Ba2TiP2O9 has a monoclinic crystal structure with a space group C2/c (no. 15), which is built out of PO4 tetrahedra and TiO5 pyramidal polyhedra connected to form a chain structure along the c-axis. The emission of Ba2TiP2O9 is due to a charge transfer transition between Ti4+-O2- in the pyramidal TiO5. The obtained Ba2TiP2O9 was excited efficiently by UV and VUV and displayed a bright bluish-white luminescence.

A new type of carbon black CB1 was developed, by Asahi Carbon Co., Ltd., for usage of a lithium-ion battery (LIB). Compared with commercially available acetylene black, CB1 in which the network structure of carbon is developed has a relatively larger specific surface area. Therefore, CB1 dispersed in LiFePO4 precursors by planetary ball milling inhibited LiFePO4 primary particles' growth during calcination process. Charge/discharge performance was improved by coexistence of CB1 with polystyrene (PS) carbon layers deposited on LiFePO4 particle surfaces, compared to the performance for the LiFePO4 sample covered with carbon layers derived from only PS.

Ti-doped lithium vanadium(III) phosphate cathode materials, Li3-2x(V1-xTix)(2)(PO4)(3), were prepared by a solid state reaction. The Ti-doped samples exhibited that the gamma-phase is stabilized at room temperature by substituting Ti for V sites at more than x = 0.10. The discharge capacity of the doped samples at a 60C rate was found to be much higher than that for the non doped sample. This improved performance found for the doped cathodes was attributed to the increase in ionic conductivity given by the transition of alpha- to gamma-phase via Ti substitution.

Influence of precursor intermediates (PI) on the synthesis of high efficient green emitting beta-Ca2SiO4:Eu2+ (beta-C2S:Eu) phosphors were demonstrated by a novel liquid-phase-precursor (LPP) method utilizing (a) CaCl2-EuCl3, (b) Ca(NO3)(2)-EuCl3, (c) CaCl2-Eu(NO3)(3), and (d) Ca(NO3)(2)-Eu(NO3)(3) combinations as precursors. The crystallinity and morphology of the PI analyzed using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements showed both the amorphous and crystalline type precursor intermediates (API and CPI) depending upon the metal-source materials. The final morphology and luminescence properties of beta-C2S:Eu phosphors were found to be strongly influenced by the crystallinity (amorphous and crystalline) and morphology of the PIs. The APIs have led to regular-shaped homogeneous phosphor particles with higher luminescence when compared with the CPIs. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This study investigated the luminescence properties of novel deep red phosphors Ca14Zn6M10O35:Mn4+ (M = Al3+ and Ga3+). These phosphors efficiently excited using a blue LED light. It exhibited a deep red emission around 713 nm. The luminescence intensities of CZA:Mn-0.03 and CZG:Mn-0.03 excited at 450 nm were, respectively, about 2.2 and 2.7 times higher than that of YAG:Ce3+ (P46). These phosphors also show little temperature quenching, but more than that shown by YAG:Ce3+ at 423 K. These results show that the deep red phosphor Ca14Zn6M10O35:Mn4+ (M = Al3+ and Ga3+) is a beneficial phosphor for use in indoor plant cultivation.

An ordered hierarchical meso/macroporous monoclinic bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) particle was fabricated for the first time by a simple two-step melamine template hydrothermal method followed by calcination. The physiochemical parameters of as-prepared porous materials were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman, Barrett-Emmett-Teller, and UV-vis techniques. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement and pore size distribution curve suggest that meso/macropores exist in these hierarchical microarchitectures. Further, it is found that melamine plays a significant role in the formation of porous BiVO4 particles, and when a known amount of melamine was added, the surface area and pore size of such porous BiVO4 particles were increased. The photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared hierarchical BiVO4 samples were measured for the photodegradation of Congo red aqueous dye solution under visible light irradiation. Surprisingly, the porous BiVO4 particles showed outstanding photocatalytic activities than polycrystalline BiVO4 sample. The possible enhancement of such catalytic performance has also been further discussed. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Crystals of dilithium manganese(II) silicate were grown under high-temperature hydro-thermal conditions in the system LiOH - MnO2 - SiO2. The title compound crystallizes in the ΒII-Li 3PO4 structure type. The coordination polyhedra of all cations are slightly distorted tetra-hedra (m symmetry for MnO4 and SiO4), which are linked by corner-sharing to each other. The vertices of the tetra-hedra point to the same direction perpendicular to the distorted hexa-gonal close-packed (hcp) array of O atoms within which half of the tetra-hedral voids are occupied by cations. In comparison with the previous refinement from powder X-ray data [Dominko et al. (2006). Electrochem. Commun. 8, 217-222], the present reinvestigation from single-crystal X-ray data allows a more precise determination of the distribution of the Li+ and Mn2+ cations, giving a perfectly site-ordered structure model for both Li+ and Mn2+.

Compared with emission intensity of prepared sample, the emission intensity of Ba3- Si6O12N2 green-emitting phosphors using LPP method is more than 2.5 times than that of Ba3Si6O12N2 green-emitting one by a solid state reaction method.

Green emitting Eu2+-doped Ca2SiO4 phosphors were synthesized by three different methods (a conventional solid state reaction (SSR) method, a novel liquid phase precursor approach using SiO2 sol (LPP-SiO2(sol)) and water-soluble silicon compound (LPP-WSS)). The obtained phosphors exhibited a broad excitation spectrum ranging from 225 to 450 nm and a strong green emission peak at 502 nm due to the 4f(6)5d(1)-> 4f(7)(S-8(7/2)) transition of Eu2+. The highest luminescent intensity was obtained for the samples fired at 1100 degrees C. The dependence of luminescence properties on Eu2+ concentration for the phosphors synthesized using LPP-WSS method was also examined from 0.1 to 5.0 mol% and the maximum emission intensity was observed at 3.0 mol% Eu2+. A detailed analysis using various characterizations revealed that phosphors produced by the LPP-WSS process exhibited more homogenous phase distribution and higher luminescence intensity than those from the other two processes, which suggested the potential application of Ca2SiO4:Eu2+ in white light-emitting diodes and fluorescence lamps.

Highly efficient Ba3Si6O12N2 green-emitting phosphors using boron-coated Eu2O3 were synthesized by a gas reduction nitridation method under flowing NH3 gas. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the synthesized phosphor was a pure phase of Ba3Si6O12N2. The Ba3Si6O12N2 green-emitting phosphors synthesized by modification of an alumina boat were crystallized much better as well as showed higher emission intensity. The emission spectra showed a typically broad green emission band attributed to the 4f(6)5d-->4f(7) electronic transition of Eu2+ ions under excitation at 405 nm. The green-emitting Ba3Si6O12N2 phosphors that were synthesized using boron-coated Eu2O3 by modification of an alumina boat could be applied to generate white light emitting diodes.

Well-crystallized Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ powders were grown on a substrate by the vapor phase reaction between a mixed powder (barium carbonate and europium oxide) and SiO gas. The vaporization of SiO occurs at 1400-1600 degrees C from the SiO2 source (or SiO powder) in a reducing atmosphere. The formed SiO gas was transported by 95 vol% Ar - 5 vol% H-2 gas and reacted with the raw material powders. The emission intensity of the Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphor synthesized by the new vapor phase technique is about 2.6 times higher than that of a conventional solid-state reaction sample.

Eu3+ doped Na3YSi2O7 phosphors were prepared by a solid state reaction. It was found that the excitation spectra included two regions: i.e. the broad excitation band at 237 nm and narrow peaks at 395 nm and 463 nm. The peak located at 237 nm was assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, while the peaks at 395 nm and 463 nm were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu3+. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of D-5(0)-F-7(2). The Eu3+ doped Na3YSi2O7 phosphor was suitable for use in fluorescent lamps and white LED applications. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

Perovskite-related compounds have been investigated in many fields, because they have various unique properties due to their compositions and structures which are characterized by various combinations of the A and B cations. In addition, defect perovskite-type compounds have also been investigated in many areas, especially as ion conductors. In this study, we used the A-site and oxygen-deficient perovskite, Sr3Al2O6, as a photoluminescent host material. This means that the defect sites were able to substitute several ions. We investigated the A(3)Al(2)O(6):Eu2+ phosphor material (A = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) produced by a solid state reaction in several kinds of atmospheres. Based on our results, the phosphor showed wide excitation and emission bands of 300-400 nm and 450-600 nm, respectively. The emission color control depended on the A-site substitution ratio. It is a very useful phosphor for white LEDs. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

We succeeded in the single crystal growth of Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ by novel synthesis method which was gas (SiO) and solid (Ba - Sc - Al - Eu - 0) phase hybridized. The Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ single crystal was synthesized by interfacial crystal growth after the reaction of the SiO gas with the surface of Ba - Sc - Al - Eu - O substrate in the reductive atmosphere. The single crystals were plate-like crystals with about 500 mu m sizes and emitted green light around 500 nm under 300 - 450 nm excitation.

Luminescence property of a new phosphate phosphor, RbPO3:Tb, is reported in this paper. A single phase sample was obtained by thermal decomposition of a raw material mixture (RbH2PO4 and Tb4O7) at 973 K. The phosphor could be efficiently exited by the UV light, yielding an intense green emission around 550 nm. The intense green emission is originated from the f-f transition of Tb3+ ion.

To synthesize various complex oxide materials and their solid solutions, we applied a novel "melt-synthesis technique" rather than conventional solid-state reaction techniques. Rapid synthesis methods to develop those double oxides have been strongly anticipated. During melt synthesis, the mixture of oxides or their precursors is melted rapidly (1-60 s) in an arc-imaging furnace using strong light radiation. A spherical molten sample with multiple homogeneously mixed cations was solidified directly on a copper hearth with rapid cooling of ca. 10(2) degrees C/s.
We studied the synthesis of A(2)BO(4) type double oxides (AA')(2)BO(4) (A= Sr(2+), Ca(2+), A' = La(3+), Gd(3+), Y(3+), Eu(3+), B=Al) using this method. Homogeneous samples with Eu(3+) dopants were synthesized using liquid phase mixing in a few seconds, which is much faster than diffusions of ions in solid phase. Red fluorescence under the irradiation of ultraviolet light (254 and 365 nm) was observed. The excitation band shifted. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Eu3+ doped and undoped Y(P,V)O-4 phosphors were prepared using multi-mode and single-mode microwave oven operated at 2.45 GHz. In the case of the microwave heating method, the phosphor particles were non-aggregated. A homogeneous distribution of Eu ion was observed in the microwave synthesis. No sintering behavior found in the microwave heating may be attributed to a quite shorter heating time. The Eu3+ doped sample synthesized by microwave heating showed intense red emission under UV excitation.

A series of coordination polymers constructed by sodium, lanthanide(III), and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (dipic),NaLn(dipic)(2) center dot 7H(2)O (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb), have been prepared under a hydrothermal condition. The crystal structures of the three compounds which are isostructual were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two-dimensional layers found in the compounds are built up from six-folded {NaO(6)} polyhedra and nine-folded {LnN(2)O(7)} polyhedra, these being edge-shared each other along the c axis and bridged by carboxylate groups of dipic along the b axis, respectively. This two-dimensional framework provides cavities inside the layer and interlayer spaces outside the layer for accommodation of the two dipic molecules coordinated to a lanthanide(III) ions. The dehydrated materials obtained by heating the as-synthesized crystals at 200 degrees C held their crystal structure, and absorbed the same amounts of water molecules as those of the as-synthesized crystals upon the exposure of 100% relative humidity at room temperature. The Eu and Tb compounds showed strong red and green emissions, respectively, due to an energy transfer from dipic molecules to trivalent emission ions. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper represents the hydrothermal synthesis of new isomorphous lanthanide-vanadium complexes with one-dimensional coordination polymers: [Pr(2)(VO(2))(2)(dipic)(4)(H(2)O)(9)] center dot nH(2)O with dipic = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and n = 7.75. The structure determination shows a unique one-dimensional structure in which three types of chains run along the c-axis: the chain of positively charged praseodymium complexes bridged by a dipic ligand ([Pr(dipic)(H(2)O)5](+)), the chain of negatively charged, stacked vanadium complexes ([VO(2)(dipic)](-)), and the chain of neutral praseodymium complexes with a bridged dipic ligand and a coordinating dipic ligand ([Pr(dipic)[VO(2)(dipic)](H(2)O)(4)]). Such one-dimensional chains provide open channels which can accommodate water molecules. Not only accommodated water molecules but also ones coordinated to praseodymium ions were easily removed and absorbed upon heating at 200 degrees C and exposure of humidity at room temperature, respectively.

The stacking of the networks provides one-dimensional tunnels suitable for Na-beta-[Mo(8)O(26)] chains. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Metastable Sr0.5TaO3 with a perovskite structure was prepared by using layer-structured H2Sr1.5Ta3O10 by two different processes: direct dehydration and nanosheet processing, and the photocatalylic activities of the obtained structures were investigated for the evolution of H-2 and O-2 from distilled water under UV light irradiation. The average gas evolution rates were 66 mu mol h(-1) (H-2) and 1.6 mu mol h(-1) (O-2) for Sr0.5TaO3 prepared by direct dehydration, whereas those obtained by nanosheet processing were 1.26 mu mol h(-1) (H-2) and 33 mu mol h(-1) (O-2). It was shown that nanosheet processing is effective for obtaining metastable Sr0.5TaO3 with high photocatalytic activities. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)

In order to synthesize compounds of various Perovskite-related structures, we have utilized a novel "melt synthesis technique" for phosphors rather than the conventional solid state reaction techniques. The solid state reactions require multi-step processes of heating/cooling with intermediate grindings to make homogeneous samples. However, for the melt synthesis, it is possible to make a homogeneous sample in a single step within a short period of time (1-60 s) due to the liquid phase reaction in the molten samples, which were melted by strong light radiation in an imaging furnace. In this study, we have prepared a red-phosphor CaLaGaO(4):Eu(3+) which has a perovskite-related layered K(2)NiF(4) structure. Well-crystallized CaLa(1-x) Eu (x) GaO(4) samples with the K(2)NiF(4) structure have been obtained up to x = 0.25, but there was the formation of an olivine phase when x = 0.5-1.0. The red emission at 618 nm increased with the increasing value of x up to x = 0.25.

BaMgAl<SUB>10</SUB>O<SUB>17</SUB>:Eu<SUP>2+</SUP> is a promising blue phosphor for lump, CRT and PDP. Conventionally, the BAM phosphors synthesize by the solid-state reaction from the mixture of oxide or carbonate starting materials. The solid-state reaction needs high temperature to get well-crystallized single phase. However, the control of particle morphology and size distribution is difficult for such a high temperature synthesis. In this study, we reported new synthetic technique using flash creation method derived nanopowder precursor. In the new technique, well-crystallized single phase phosphors were obtained at 1400°C for 6h. Although the powders were grown into the plate-like particles, the BAM powders retain the nano-size morphology after annealing. The emission intensity under UV excitation of Ba<SUB>0.9</SUB>Eu<SUB>0.1</SUB>MgAl<SUB>10</SUB>O<SUB>17</SUB> from the FCM-derived nanopowder was 110% compared with phosphors prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction.

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[NaSm(C7H3- NO4)(2)(H2O)(4)]center dot 3H(2)O}(n), was first reported by van Albada, Gorter & Reedijk [(1999), Polyhedron, 18, 1821-1824]. It has now been reinvestigated and confirmed from single-crystal data, giving greater understanding of the role of the water molecules. The two-dimensional layers found in the compound are built up from six-coordinate NaO6 polyhedra and nine-coordinate SmN2O7 polyhedra. The former share edges with each other along the c axis and the latter are bridged by carboxylate groups of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anions along the b axis. Eight-membered rings of water molecules, connected to one another by hydrogen bonding, are formed in the interlayer spaces.

Al-doped LiMn2O4 cathode materials synthesized by a newly developed wet-milling method and a dry process method using a conventional solid-state reaction were evaluated physicochemically and electrochemically. In the wet-milling method, a precursor was made from the raw materials atomized by a wet milling. A good cyclic performance was obtained for the LiMn2O4 samples prepared by the wet-milling method, achieved up to 99% of retention of capacity at 50 degrees C at the 30th cycle. The precursor obtained by the wet-milling method was well homogenous and highly reactive due to their finely ground particles, giving good crystallinity to LiMn2O4 products.

It has been observed for the binary systems of oriented nematic hosts and nonmesomorphic guests (substituted anthraquinones) that the orientational orders of amino-substituted anthraquinones ascend with increasing guest concentrations. A new quantitative anti experimental procedure has been proposed for obtaining the host-guest isotropic dispersion, isotropic electrostatic, anisotropic dispersion, and anisotropic electrostatic interaction energies. Among these four host-guest interaction energies, the host-guest isotropic dispersion interaction energy alone is demonstrated to be well correlated with the concentration dependence of the orientational order of the guest. A model is also proposed for the cooperative and isotropic host-guest interaction.

Emission intensity of Tb3+ in the (Ce3+, Tb3+)-codoped phosphor was five times greater than that of the Tb3+ single-doped phosphor because of the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+.

Plasma display panels (PDP) are most promising for large flat panel displays at present. However, luminescence efficiency and lifetime of PDP phosphors should be improved. Alkaline earth silicates show remarkable properties as phosphor hosts with various crystal structures and high chemical stability.

YVO4:Eu3+ phosphors were prepared using a domestic microwave oven operated at 2.45 GHz with 500 W. The temperature of raw materials with mixtures of Y2O3, V2O5 and Eu2O3 that were irradiated with the microwave increased to about 840 degrees C within 150 s. Subsequently, the temperature dropped sharply in spite of the continuing microwave irradiation. Measurement of the dielectric loss factor of the raw materials and products at 2.45 GHz at temperatures from 25 degrees C to 800 degrees C revealed a high absorption efficiency of microwave energy by V2O5, which provided a rapid increase in the raw material's temperature. A low dielectric loss factor observed for YVO4:Eu engendered a sharp temperature drop after completion of the reaction of Y2O3 with V2O5, (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Long persistence phosphors of BaMg2Si2O7:Eu2+, Mn2+, with red emission were prepared using a conventional solid state reaction. Phosphors doped only With Eu2+ emitted 1400 nm violet light; those doped only with Mn2+ emitted red light that was hardly visible. Phosphors doped with both Eu2+ and Mn2+ showed two emission peaks of 400 and 660 nm, exhibiting a reddish luminescence to the naked eye. These facts suggested an energy transfer from Eu2+ to Mn2+. Non-stoichiometric co-doped phosphors with a deficient Ba component showed long persistence phosphorescence with reddish color. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In order to purify waste water containing fluoride, the calcium additive method has usually been used to recover fluoride ions in the form of refractory calcium fluoride. In this case, the removable fluoride concentration is limited to be 10-15 mg/1 due to the solubility of calcium fluoride. In this study, we report 3CaO·Al2O3·3CaSO4· 32H2O (ettringite) as a highly absorbent substance for the fluoride. The fluoride concentration of the water treated with the ettringite was achieved to be less than 8 mg/l without sludge.

We prepared low temperature phase of triple layered perovksite KCa 2Nb3O10 by an ion-exchange reaction. Liintercalated low temperature phase, Li0.79KCa2Nb 3O10, shows strong diamagnetic signal around at 7.8 K. The magnetic phase transition temperature of Li-intercalated low temperature phase is higher than that of Li-interca-lated high temperature phase.

The physical and photocatalytic properties of a novel solid solution between GaN and ZnO, (Ga1-xZnx)(Ni1-xOx), are investigated. Nitridation of a mixture of Ga2O3 and ZnO at 1123 K for 5-30 h under NH3 flow results in the formation of a (Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx) solid solution with x = 0.05-0.22. With increasing nitridation time, the zinc and oxygen concentrations decrease due to reduction of ZnO and volatilization of zinc, and the crystallinity and band gap energy of the product increase. The highest activity for overall water splitting is obtained for (Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx) with x = 0.12 after nitridation for 15 h. The crystallinity of the catalyst is also found to increase with increasing the ratio of ZnO to Ga2O3 in the starting material, resulting in an increase in activity.

A series of Ruddlesden-Popper-type hydrous layered perovskites, A'(2)ATa(2)O(7) (A' = H or K, A = La-2/3 or Sr), were presented as novel catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting into H-2 and O-2 under UV irradiation. These hydrous perovskites showed higher activity than anhydrous perovskites (KTaO3, La1/3TaO3) for overall splitting of water. Results of photoluminescence spectroscopy and H-2 evolution from aqueous n-butylamine solution support the hypothesis that the high activity of the hydrous perovskites results from their hydrated layered structure, where the photogenerated electrons and holes can be effectively transferred to the intercalated substrates (H2O and n-butylamine). Addition of Ni cocatalyst to H2La2/3Ta2O7 via an ion-exchange reaction increased the activity, while Ni addition did not improve the activity of H2SrTa2O7. Ni K-edge EXAFS/XANES, UV-vis spectroscopy, and TEM results for Niloaded catalysts indicate that Ni2+ ions and small NiO clusters are intercalated into the layers of H2La2/3Ta2O7, while relatively large NiO particles at the external surface of the perovskite are the main Ni species in H2SrTa2O7. Thus, the highly dispersed Ni(II) species at the interlayer space are shown to act as effective sites for H-2 evolution in the photocatalytic water splitting.

Potassium niobate thin films with a perovskite structure were prepared by a new nanosheet self-assembly technique on a SiO2 glass substrate. A homogeneous nanosheet precursor solution was obtained by dissolving layered perovskite K2NbO3F in water at room temperature without any modifier. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction that the films have a pseudocubic perovskite structure and show continuous transformation from layered perovskite K2NbO3F to perovskite KNbO3. The ultraviolet-vi sib le absorption spectra of the films showed an increase in absorbance with the thickness of thin films, suggesting the growth of a self-assembled multilayer consisting of perovskite nanosheets and K+ ions.

YVO4:Eu3+ phosphor was prepared using a domestic microwave oven operated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz and a power of 500 W. The temperature of raw materials, mixtures of Y2O3, V2O5 and Eu2O3, irradiated with the microwave was rose up to about 1113 K in 150 s, followed by a sharp drop in the temperature in spite of irradiating the microwave continuously. From the measurement of a dielectric loss factor of the raw materials at 2.45 GHz, a high absorption of microwave energy by V2O5 was found to provide an increase in temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, a low dielectric loss factor of YVO4 caused the sharp drop in temperature as soon as the reaction of Y2O3 with V2O5 was completed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Long persistent phosphors are materials which can absorb visible light energy to show afterglow. Previously, alkaline earth metal sulfides and zinc sulfides doped radioactive materials were used for the long persistent phosphors. However, sulfides tend to deteriorate upon expose of moisture in air. On the other hand, though the radio luminous phosphors give long afterglows, radioactive materials have serious influence on environment. The highly stable and highly luminescent long persistent phosphors without radioactive materials are desired.
In this study, silicate families were chosen as hosts because of their excellent physical and chemical stability. The Ca0.5Sr1.5Al2SiO7: Ce3+, Tb3+ phosphor showed the fluorescence of 5 times as high radiation intensity as the Ce3+ single-doped phosphor. The cause is energy migration from Ce3+ to Tb3+. The co-doped phosphor showed white long-persistent phosphorescence. The non-stoichiometric BaMg2Si2O7: Eu2+ Mn2+ phosphors with a Ba-deficient component exhibiting a long persistent phosphorescence with reddish color with two emission peaks of 400 mn and 660 nm. The cause is energy migration from Eu2+ to Mn2+. The afterglows of these long persistent phosphors are occurred by sensitization between co-doped ions.

Compositionally uniformed nitride powders (GaN and GaN-ZnO solid solution) were synthesized from metal oxide powders using a fluidized bed in a NH3 and/or a N-2 flow. GaN was synthesized by a two-step heating; the first step was done at 700 degrees C for 1 h, and the second step was done at 900 degrees C for 4h. A GaN-ZnO solid solution was synthesized at 900 degrees C for 4h. The synthesized nitride powders were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Optical properties of the products were examined by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The grain size of the products was smaller than that of the starting materials. On the other hand, the crystallite size of the GaN-ZnO solid solution was almost the same as that of the starting material of Ga2O3.

The silica sand is primarily composed of high purity SiO2. Mt. Iide over Niigata, Yamagata and Fukushima prefectures is known as a rich mine for silica sand. In this study, we adopted natural resource (silica sand from Mt. Iide, Osodani area) as a starting material for the synthesis of akermanite type long-persistent phosphor Sr2MgSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+. The silica sand derived (Sr 0.98Eu0.01Dy0.01)2MgSi 2O7 showed long afterglow phenomena. Therefore, the silica sand can be potentially used in preparing silicate phosphors.

The need to identify a thermally stable blue phosphor for plasma display panels (PDPs) is vital, because the currently used BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM) phosphors have serious thermal degradation problems. In this respect, we report on the screening of a Eu2+-doped SrO-B2O3-P2O5 system by a combinatorial chemistry technique so that combinatorial libraries could be developed in terms of luminance and color chromaticity. As a quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) model, a continuous luminance map was obtained as a function of composition using an artificial neural network trained using the results from the combinatorial screening. Promising photoluminescence was found in a lineshape composition range in the SrO-B2O3-P2O5 ternary library, and the samples in this composition range were crystallized into a single major phase of Sr6BP5O20:Eu2+ in an I $(4) over bar $ c2 symmetry with cell parameters a=9.784 and c=19.01. The luminance of Sr6BP5O20:Eu2+ was 2.8 times as high as BAM under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation and underwent negligible thermal degradation, even though the CIE color chromaticity was somewhat poor.

Well-crystalline LiFePO4 particles were prepared by a hydrothermal reaction. The particles thus prepared by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the starting reaction solution were fine crystalline in the range of 0.5-1.5 mum with a narrow particle size distribution. The initial discharge capacity of the sample as a lithium secondary battery was achieved to 143 mAhg(-1) at 0.5 mA cm(-2) (corresponding to 35 mA g(-1)) larger than that of the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method without PEG. The increase in the initial discharge capacity should be correlated with the change in particle size and degree of crystallization. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A series of layered perovskite tantalates, A(2)SrTa(2)O(7) (A=H, Li, K, and Rb), were prepared as novel photocatalysts for photocatalytic water splitting into H-2 and O-2 under UV irradiation. The layered perovskite tantalates with hydrated interlayer space, A(2)SrTa(2)O(7).nH(2)O (A=H, K, and Rb), showed higher H-2 formation rate than anhydrous layered tantalate, Li2SrTa2O7, and anhydrous perovskite tantalate, KTaO3. H2SrTa2O7.nH(2)O and K2SrTa2O7.nH(2)O showed high activity for overall splitting of water without loading co-catalysts. The reaction over H2SrTa2O7.nH(2)O proceeded steadily more than 70 h, demonstrating a high durability of the catalyst. Effects of hydrated interlayer space on the catalytic activity were discussed on the basis of the results of photoluminescence spectra and the hydrogen evolution from aqueous solution of n-butylamine as a test reaction. The results indicate that the availability of interlayer space of layered tantalate as reaction sites is an important factor to improve the photocatalytic activity of Ta-based semiconductor materials.

Serpentine is a hydrated ultra-mafic rock, which is primarily composed of magnesium silicate minerals such as chrysotile and antigorite. Fibrous chrysotile is the most common type of asbestos. Since the rich mines supplied serpentine in Japan, application of natural ore "serpentine" as raw materials for ceramics has one of the potentially lowest cost ceramics production. In this study, long afterglow phosphor, Sr2MgSi2O7, has been successfully synthesized using natural ore serpentinite. Eu2+ and Dy3+ co-doped compounds show long-lasting phosphorescence. This demonstrates that the "serpentine" could be used in preparing alkaline earth silicate phosphors.

A new soft chemical method has been developed to remove the rock-salt type layers in the Ruddlesden-Popper-type layered perovskite at room temperature. The rock-salt type (KF) blocks in the layered perovskite, K2NbO3F, were selectively dissolved into water to give three-dimensional perovskite, KNbO3, at room temperature. In the alkali metal aqueous solution, the ion-exchange reaction of parent layered compound with coexisting ions in the alkaline solution results in the new perovskites containing the other metal ions for the A-site. The development of this synthetic route could lead to interesting new metastable perovskite materials at low temperature. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Well-crystallized Li3Fe2(PO4)(3) with an orthorhombic beta-Fe-2(SO4)(3)-type structure was able to be synthesized by using two synthetic routes, where hydrothermal reaction and successive heat treatment with relatively low temperatures were employed. The samples prepared were found to show orthorhombic symmetry, contrary to the fact that a conventional solid state synthesis heating at temperatures higher than 1000 degreesC usually gives monoclinic symmetry. The sample showed two plateau potentials of 2.8 and 2.7 V vs. Li/Li+ upon discharge, and the total discharge capacity of the sample exhibited more than 80 mA h g(-1) under 0.5 mA cm(-2).

The crystal chemistry of non-stoichiometric europium orthoniobate, EuxNbO4-1.5(1-x), prepared using Rb2CO3 flux, was studied. The lattice parameters vary clearly with the rare earth content of the orthoniobate specimens. In the Eu2O3-Nb2O5 system without a flux, the non-stoichiometric compound could not be synthesized as a single phase. With the use of flux, europium-deficient non-stoichiometric solid solution appears to form in which oxygen vacancies are the predominant defects. These non-stoichiometric compounds have the potential to act as new oxide ion conductors.

Li3V2(PO4)3 and solid solutions of Li3-2x(V1-xZrx)2(PO4)3 were prepared by a solid state reaction. A high temperature orthorhombic phase of Li3V2(PO4)3 with a β-Fe2(SO4)3-type was successfully stabilized at room temperature by substituting Zr for V with substitution ratios beyond x = 0.05. The pure material of Li3V2(PO4)3 exhibited a cathode performance with two well defined regions of plateau at around 3.7 and 4.1 V vs. Li/Li+ upon charging and 3.6 and 4.0 V vs. Li/Li+ upon discharging, respectively, suggesting two types of phases produced upon the charge/discharge process. On the other hand, the cathode performance of the orthorhombic stabilized materials showed almost the same charge/discharge voltages as those of the pure material, but, with two plateaus slightly sloping, showed a considerably improved charge/discharge cycle performance compared to that of the pure material. Such improvement on the charge/discharge cycle performance is suggested to come from the disordered lithium ion arrangement in the orthorhombic phase.

On TG-DTA measurements, Li3V2(PO4)3 exhibited two types of phase transition, while Li3(V1-xZrx)2(PO4)3 exhibited no phase transition. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis and conductivity measurements confirmed an evidence for the stabilization of the high temperature phase at room temperature. The discharge capacity of the Zr-substituted Li3(V1-xZrx)2(PO4)3 samples became much larger than that of the pure Li3V2(PO4)3 sample.

Lithium ion conductors, Li3-2x(In1-xZrx)(2)(PO4)(3) (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.20), were synthesized by a solid state reaction. A superionic conductive phase of Li3In2(PO4)(3) was stabilized down to room temperature, assisted by the substitution of Zr4+ for In3+ sites of Li3In2(PO4)(3). TG-DTA analysis indicated no phase transition in the samples with x superior to 0.05. The substituted samples showed much higher ionic conductivity by a couple of magnitude than that of Li3In2(PO4)(3). In particular, the highest conductivity at room temperature was 1.42 x 10(-5) Scm(-1) for Li-2.8(In0.9Zr0.1)(2)(PO4)(3). Thin films with the composition of Li-2.8(In0.9Zr0.1)(2) (PO4)(3) was prepared by a sol-gel method. A coating solution was made from lithium isopropoxide, indium isopropoxide, zirconium isopropoxide and diphosphorus pentaoxide. Well crystallized films were obtained on silicon dioxide and quartz glass substrates by dropping the coating solution, followed by firing over 873 K. In the temperatures above 473 K the lithium ionic conductivity of the film was slightly higher than that of sintered samples prepared by the solid state reaction at 1373 K.

New reduced tantalates, Li2LaTa2O7, Li2Ca2Ta3O10 and Na2Ca2Ta3O10, with a layered perovskite structure have been synthesized by a chemical or an electrochemical intercalation reaction of the alkali metal cations with the parent Dion-Jacobson series compounds. The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction patterns, and found to be analogous to those of the parent compounds. The intercalation of the lithium ion leads to a large contraction along the stacking direction of perovskite layers because of a higher interlayer charge density. These intercalation compounds are the first example of reduced tantalates with a layered perovskite structure.

New reduced tantalate, Na2Ca2Ta3O10, and titanate, Na1.0Ca0.95La2Ti3O10, were synthesized by intercalation reaction from the parent Dion-Jacobson and Ruddlesden-Popper type layered perovskite compounds. The crystal structure of the tantalate was determined by the Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The intercalation compound, Na2Ca2Ta3O10, is the first example of reduced tantalate with the Ruddlesden-Popper type structure. In some of reduced tantalate and titanate compounds, the diamagnetic signals have been observed below 7 K. Therefore, these compounds are thought to be good candidates for new oxide superconductors.

The crystal structure of lithium ion conductors, Li3Sc2(PO4)(3) and Li3-2x(Sc1-xMx)(2)(PO4)(3) (M = Ti, Zr) with x = 0.10, were refined by Rietveld analysis for neutron diffraction patterns in order to confirm the site location and site occupancy for Li ions. The Rietveld refinement confirmed that a high disorder was introduced to three kinds of Li sites in the high temperature superionic conduction phase of Li3Sc2(PO4)(3). The high temperature phase was stabilized at room temperature by substituting Ti4+ or Zr4+ for Sc3+ sites. The stabilized materials were also found to have similar high disorder over the Li sites.

Chemical and electrochemical lithium intercalation behavior was investigated on Li2CrTi(PO4)(3). Lithium ions with an almost one mole per formula were inserted by the chemical intercalation by n-butyllithium. The structure refinement was done by the Rietveld method for both parent and intercalated materials. The results showed that both materials crystallized in a lower crystal symmetry, R (3) over bar or C2/c, which is different from that previously reported in the literature. The intercalated material exhibited a cathode performance with a plateau at around 2.8 V vs. Li/Li+ upon charging and 2.4 V vs. Li/Li+ upon discharging.

A new reduced tantalate, Na2Ca2Ta3O10, with layered perovskite structure was synthesized by an intercalation reaction from the parent sodium compound, NaCa2Ta3O10, The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by the Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction pattern. Although the framework of the perovskite layer of intercalation compound is analogous to that of the parent compound, the coordination of interlayer sodium ion in the intercalation compound is clearly distinct from that of the parent compound. The sodium ions within the interlayer of intercalation compound have a rock-salt coordination because of a too strong repulsive force fas a tetrahedral coordination. The intercalation compound, Na2Ca2Ta3O10, is the first example of a reduced! tantalate with a Ruddlesden-Popper type structure. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science BN. All rights reserved.

The quenching of Eu3+-emission in the layered perovskite compounds SrRE2Al2O7, BaRE2Ti3O10, RETa3O9 and RbRETa2O7 (RE = rare earths) with two-dimensional arrangement of rare earth ions was investigated. The highest luminescence intensity was observed in both tantalum compounds, RETa3O9 and RbRETa2O7. The concentration quenching found in these compounds can be explained by a percolation model with two-dimensional interactions between the Eu3+ sites in the host lattice. The energy transfer between the Eu3+ ions takes place by the multipole-multipole interaction among the nearest-neighbor sites in the rare earth sublattice. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Lithium superion conductors, Li3+2x(Sc1-xMgx)(2)(PO4)(3), Li3-2x(Sc1-xMx)(2)(PO4)(3) (M=Ti, Zr, Sn, Hf) and Li3-4x(Sc1-xMx)(2)(PO4)(3) (M = Nb, Ta) were prepared by a solid-state reaction. TG-DTA analysis indicated no phase transition in Li3+2x(Sc1-xMgx)(2)(PO4)(3) and Li3-2x(Sc1-xMx)(2)(PO4)(2) (M = Ti, Zr, Sn, Kf) with x higher than 0.05, and in Li3-4x(Sc1-xMx)(2)(PO4)(3) (M=Nb, Ta) with x higher than 0.025. The room temperature ionic conductivity of Li3Sc2(PO4)(3) has been increased by three orders of magnitude with the highest conductivity observed in Li3-2x(Sc1-xTix)(2)(PO4)(3) with x = 0.20 and in Li3-2x(Sc1-xZrx)(2)(PO4)(3) with x = 0.10. It was ascribed to the stabilization of the high temperature superionic conduction phase and the introduction of vacancies on the Li+ sites by substituting Ti4+ Or Zr4+ for Sc3+.

X-ray powder diffraction analysis of these samples clearly showed the stabilization of a superionic conduction phase at room temperature with an orthorhombic system Pbcn. The highest conductivity was observed for the sample with x = 0.05, and ascribed to the stabilization of the superionic conduction phase and the introduction of vacancies on the Li+ sites by substituting Zr4+ for Sc3+.

Dependence of emission intensity on Eu3+ concentration in new layered perovskite compound, RbLa1-xEuxTa2O7, with a perfect two-dimensional arrangement of luminescence center was studied. Critical value for concentration quenching is x = 0.5 for RbLa1-xEuxTa2O7. The critical concentration of this compound is discussed in terms of the crystal structure determined by the powder X-ray diffraction pattern using the Rietveld method. The concentration quenching found in this compound can be explained by means of a percolation model with two-dimensional interactions between Eu3+ sites in the host lattice.

A soi-gel method was applied to prepare thin films of LiLnSiO(4) (Ln=La,Sm). The coating solution was made from lithium isopropoxide, silicon tetraethoxide, and tris(acetylacetonato)rare-earth. Well crystalline films with 0.1 similar to 0.3 mu m in thickness were obtained on alumina and quartz glass substrates by spin-coating, followed by firing over 400 degrees C. The lithium ionic conductivity of the films was much greater than that of sintered samples prepared by a conventional solid state reaction at 1000 degrees C.

The crystal structures of silver ion-exchanged compounds were determined by the Rietveld analysis for powder XRD patterns. These compounds, which are probably metastable, could only be obtained by the ion-exchange reaction. The relatively high ionic conductivities attributed to the interlayer silver ions were observed at high temperatures.

The layered perovskite compounds NaLnTiO4 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Y and Lu) were synthesized by the solid state reaction. The crystal structure of these compounds were determined by the Rietveld analysis. Single phases of the compounds (except for Ln = Lu) could be prepared only under very restricted preparation conditions. The composition of NaLuTiO4 was not a single phase under the conditions employed in this study. Compounds NaLnTiO4 have a tetragonal symmetry for Ln = La-Nd, while an orthorhombic symmetry is observed for Ln = Sm-Lu. The stabilization of NaLnTiO4 is discussed on the basis of the relative sizes of the rare earth and the alkali metal ions. The lowering of the symmetry is considered to be introduced by the mismatch between TiO2 and LnO2 layers. Ionic conductivities attributed to the interlayer sodium ions were observed at high temperatures. The magnitude of ionic conductivity of NaLaTiO4, with a single perovskite layer, was much higher than that of Na2La2Ti3O10, with a triple perovskite layer. This high ionic conductivity is due to the weak interaction between the perovskite layer and interlayer sodium ions.

New layered perovskite compounds, LiLnTiO(4) (Ln=La and Eu), have been synthesized by an ion-exchange reaction from parent sodium compounds, NaLnTiO(4). The crystal structures of LiLaTiO4 and LiEuTiO4 were determined by Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The lithium ion-exchanged compounds retain the crystal symmetry of the parent phases. Although the framework of the perovskite layer of these compounds is the same as that of the parent compounds, there exists a fundamental difference. The lithium ions within the interlayer have a tetrahedral coordination because of small ionic radius for a rock-salt coordination. The structure of LiLaTiO4 and LiEuTiO4 consist of intergrowths of the perovskite sheets with the layers of Li-O in a tetrahedral coordination and those of Ln-O in a distorted rock-salt coordination. These compounds exhibit new phases analogous to the Ruddlesden-Popper phase.

Intercalation of water was observed in a layered perovskite compound, NaEuTiO4, leading to its hydrated derivatives. There are some metastable intermediates in the hydrated derivatives. The hydration process includes several steps that are topotactic. The crystal structure of the hydrated derivatives was identified by Rietveld analysis for the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. It is confirmed that the water molecules are inserted into the sodium layer of NaEuTiO4.

Although the framework of the perovskite layer of lithium compound is the same as those of the corresponding sodium and potassium compounds, a fundamental difference exists. The lithium ions within the interlayer have a tetrahedral coordination because the ionic radius is too small for a rock-salt coordination. The layered perovskite compound Li2La2Ti3O10 exhibits a new phase analogous to the Ruddlesden-Popper phase.

Dependence of emission intensity on Eu3+ concentration in Na2Gd2(1-x)Eu2xTi3O10 with a triple perovskite layer and NaGd1-xEuxTiO4 with a single perovskite layer was studied. Critical values for concentration quenching are x = 0.40 for Na2Gd2(1-x)Eu2xTi3O10 and x = 0.25 for NaGd1-xEuxTiO4. The difference in the critical concentration between both compounds is discussed in terms of their crystal structures determined by the powder X-ray diffraction patterns using the Rietveld method. The concentration quenching found in these compounds can be explained by means of a percolation model with nearly two-dimensional interactions between Eu3+ sites in the host lattice. © 1995.

An ion-exchangeable layered perovskite compound, Na2La2Ti3O10, was directly synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The crystal structure of Na2La2Ti3O10 was determined by electron diffraction analysis and Rietveld analysis for the powder X-ray diffraction pattern. The unit cell is tetragonal with a = 0.383528(7) nm, c = 2.85737(7) nm and Z = 2 with the space group I4/mmm (No. 139). The structure of this compound is analogous to that of the Ruddlesden-Popper phases. The ionic conductivity of Na2La2Ti3O10 was not very high compared with those of niobate compounds, NaLaNb2O7 and NaCa2NaNb4O13. Such a low ionic conductivity is due to the rigid rock-salt-type coordination around sodium ions located at the interlayer.
