Description :
Red light is extremely effective for the growth and development of plants specially fruits and flowering plants. The plant’s green chlorophyll absorbs red light more rapidly than any other colour present in the visible light spectrum. This leads to produce more energy which ultimately uses to grow the plant taller and healthier.
Keeping all the things in mind in the present work, we synthesized ZnAl2O4inorganic phosphors co-doped with different concentrations of Eu3+ which emit red light with high emission intensity, by using solution combustion method. Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra show intense emission peak at 614nm and the highest emission intensity was observed for ZnAl2O4: Eu 0.5 mol% phosphor.Thus, the phosphor can be used as red-light emitting phosphor.
