Microwave synthesis technique for long phosphorescence phosphor SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ using carbon reduction

As described herein, we prepared SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor using a domestic microwave oven operated at 2.45 GHz with 500 W in 30 min, processes with carbon reduction. Using carbon as the microwave absorber it generates thermal energy. Furthermore, heating with carbon can provide a reductive atmosphere. Prepared samples emitted phosphorescence emission for a long time.
