Abstract
Novel structures of La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts were successfully prepared by electrospinning combined with double-crucible
method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts were pure hexagonal phase with
space group P-3m1. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis reveals that La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts have coarse surface
with the mean width of 2.86±0.39 μm. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis manifests that La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts emitted green
emission at 544 nm attributed to 5D4→
7
F5 energy levels transition of Tb3+ ions. CIE analysis demonstrated that the emitting
colors of La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts were located in the green region and color-tuned luminescence can be obtained by
changing doping concentration of Tb3+ ions, which is considered to be a promising candidate for application in LEDs. The
possible formation mechanism of La2O2S:Tb3+ nanobelts was also proposed. More importantly, the design conception and
construction technology are of universal significance to fabricate other oxysulfides nanobelts.
