The preparation of various strontium aluminates including SrAl2O4 (SrO-Al2O3), Sr3Al2O6 (3SrO-Al2O3), and Sr4Al4O10 (4SrO-2Al(2)O(3)) was performed by using a simple aqueous sol-gel processing. The formation of strontium aluminate phases was investigated as a function of temperature in the range of 700-1200 degrees C. The obtained compounds were doped with cerium in the concentration range of 0.25-3.00 mol%. The sol-gel derived samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that optical properties of obtained phosphor materials slightly depend on the nature, crystal structure and phase purity of the strontium aluminate matrix.
