The invention discloses a method for producing a
rare earth ion doped
yttrium aluminum garnet nano
phosphor powder. The general formula of the nano
powder is (Y1-xLnx)3Al5O12, wherein Ln is one of
rare earth elements Ce and Eu, x is more than or equal to 0.0 and less than or equal to 0.1,
mixed solution of nitrates or acetates of Al, Y and Ln is used as a
mother liquor of salt, and
mixed solution of NH4HCO3 and NH3.H2O is used as solution of compound precipitator; the
ammonia water is used for adjusting the pH value of the solution of compound precipitator to 10; and the
mother liquor of salt undergoes
ultrasonic atomization and then is sprayed in the solution of compound precipitator which is continuously stirred, and after complete reaction, the
mixed solution if filtered, washed, dried, repeatedly ball-milled and calcined to obtain uniform and dispersed
rare earth ion doped YAG nano
phosphor powder. The method has the advantages that the produced nano
phosphor powder is uniform and dispersed, the
granularity is small (between 50 and 70 nanometers), and the generated phase is unitary; and the high-concentration uniform
doping of the
rare earth ions is realized, so that the rare earth
ion doped
yttrium aluminum garnet nano phosphor powder can be obtained in high efficiency.
