More Details: Mn2+-doped β-Zn2SiO4, a metastable phase of zinc silicate, is widely acknowledged for the uncertainties linked to its crystal structure and challenging synthesis process along with its distinctive yellowish luminescence. In this study, a vivid yellow luminescence originating from Mn2+-doped metastable zinc silicate (BZSM) nanophosphor is suggested, achieved through a straightforward single-step annealing process. The reliable production of this phosphor necessitates substantial doping, surplus SiO2, a brief annealing duration, and prompt cooling. The verification of the phase is demonstrated based on its optical and crystallographic characteristics. Moreover, the effective utilization of excimer lamps in practical scenarios is effectively demonstrated as a result of the vacuum ultraviolet excitation property of BZSM nanophosphor. This outcome paves the way for additional deployment of metastable zinc silicate in various fields, consequently generating novel prospects for future advancements.
