Bringing Phosphorescence to the Classroom: Fast and Simple Synthesis of SrAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>:Eu<sup>2+</sup>,Dy<sup>3+</sup> Via Solution Combustion and Microwave-Assisted Synthesis

Listed in ZivaHub and Deakin Research Online and DMU Figshare — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1021/acs.jchemed.6c00241.s004

A novel hands-on experiment was developed to foster authentic scientific inquiry in chemistry among high school students.

Description

The experiment centers on the rapid synthesis and characterization of a persistent luminescent phosphor, SrAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>:Eu<sup>2+</sup>,Dy<sup>3+</sup>. In contrast to conventional solid-state syntheses that require prolonged high-temperature treatment, the adapted procedure allows students to produce a functional afterglow material in under 5 min, making it accessible and safe for standard classroom environments.

This experiment has been successfully conducted with approximately 100 ninth-grade students during school visits.
