Abstract: YBO3:Eu3+phosphor with different morphologies was successfully prepared by hydrothermal process below 300℃, which is lower about 800℃ than the temperature by solid state method. The reaction conditions, such as starting materials, pH value, reaction temperature, reaction media, catalyst, etc, were investigated. The optimum reaction conditions for preparing spherical vaterite type YBO3:Eu3+ phosphor with uniform size was obtained. Under 254 nm excitation, the main emission peak appeared at 598 nm for spherical shape Y0.95Eu0.05BO3 phosphor synthesized by hydrothermal process and the photoluminescence intensity(5D07F1 transition) of it was higher by 50% than that prepared by solid-state reaction. These results indicate that hydrothermal process has a promising application to preparing phosphors for lamps and displays.
