Abstract:
Provided a method of producing a β-sialon fluorescent material having excellent emission intensity. The method includes providing a first composition containing aluminum, an oxygen atom, and a europium-containing silicon nitride, heat treating the first composition, contacting the heat-treated composition and a basic substance to obtain a second composition, and contacting the second composition resulting from contacting the heat-treated composition with the basic substance and an acidic liquid medium containing an acidic substance.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of producing a β-sialon fluorescent material having a high light emission intensity and an excellent light emission luminance. The method includes preparing a calcined product having a composition of β-sialon containing an activating element; grinding the calcined product to obtain a ground product; and heat-treating the ground product to obtain a heat-treated product. A specific surface area of the ground product is 0.2 m2/g or more.
