Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we present the characteristics of photoluminescent YBO3 successfully synthesized through a solid-state reaction and a microwave-assisted method. We used yttrium oxide and boric acid in excess as the starting reagents. The synthesis conditions were reflected in the fluorescent characteristics and the structure. Excess boric acid caused structural changes, as observed by the FTIR spectroscopy analysis. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline phases and purity of the samples. We observed improved photoluminescence properties in the samples synthesized by the microwave-assisted method. These findings enhance the understanding of the material’s properties and indicate potential applications in illumination, displays, and narrow-band fluorescent smartphone-readable markers.
