Sol-gel produced Zn2V2O7 phosphors' improved luminous properties: The role of thermal treatment

Zn2V2O7 phosphor was made using a sol-gel technique and then annealed at temperatures ranging from 700 to 850 °C. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that Zn2V2O7 exhibits a single monoclinic phase. The width at half-maximum of the (022) XRD peak shrank overall resulting in improved crystal...
