Abstract

Abstract The hydrothermal synthesis and optical properties of undoped and Sb 3+ -doped lithium metasilicate and lithium disilicate nanomaterials were investigated. The microstructures and morphologies of the synthesized Li 2−2 x Sb 2 x SiO 3 and Li 2−2 x Sb 2 x Si 2 O 5 nanoparticles were studied with powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques, respectively. The synthesized undoped and doped lithium metasilicate and lithium disilicate nanomaterials, respectively, are isostructural with the standard bulk Li 2 SiO 3 (space group Cmc2 1 ) and Li 2 Si 2 O 5 (space group Ccc2) materials. The electronic absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the synthesized materials are studied. The measured optical properties show dependence on the dopant amounts in the structure.
