Abstract

The photoluminescence, electroluminescence and surface properties of ZnS:Cu,Cl phosphor coated by sol-gel process were studies. Na-silicate was used as precursor coating material. pH of solution and the concentration of Na-silicate are the important conditions to obtain the uniform coating on the phosphors. Also, the electroluminescent devices were made with Na-silicate coated phosphor. The spectroscopic characterization is performed by photospectrometer.
