To fabricate such films, composites of luminescent materials and organic resins are often considered. However, organic resins have a drawback of low long-term stability, especially under continuous exposure to UV light. In this manuscript, we investigate synthesis of ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals for highly luminescent materials composed of earth abundant elements, and fabrication of a luminescent silica film emibedding the ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals. We synthesized the ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals by a precipitation method and optimized their luminescent properties by Mn-doping concentrations. Perhydropolysilazane was chosen for a silica precursor since it allows easy fabrication of silica thin films by solution printing methods. Luminescent thin films were obtained by doctor-blade method using a colloidal solution of ZnS:Mn2+ nanoparticles dispersed in perhydropolysilazane solution. Curing of the printed layer was optimized and complete transformation to silica was realized without compensating luminescent properties of embedded ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals.
