It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions： the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm （325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm） were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu^3＋. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of ^5D0-^7F2. In addition, the effects of the Eu^3＋ content and charge compensators of Li^＋, Na^＋, K^＋, and Cl^- ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.展开更多

TGA curves of the gel precursor for two series depicted that the loss of residual organic groups and NO3 groups occurs below 450℃. According to the XRD patterns, the major diffraction peaks of the MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 series are consistent with a proto-enstatite structure (JCPDS No.11-0273) and a forsterite structure (JCPDS No.85-1364) respectively. With the excitation at 415 nm, the red emission band of Mn2+ ions is peaked at 661 nm for MgSiO3:1%(atom fraction) Mn2+ or 644 nm for MgiSiO4: 1 %(atom fraction) Mn2+ . Compared with Mg2SiO4:Mn2+ samples, MgSiO3:Mn2+ samples exhibit higher luminescence intensity and higher quenching concentration. In addition, the two series co-doped with Eu2+ , Dy3+ , Mn2+ were also prepared. Photo-luminescence and afterglow properties of the two co-doped series were analyzed, which show that MgSiO3: Eu2 + , Dy3+ , Mn2+ is more suitable for a red long-lasting phosphor.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, used to characterize the crystallization process of the phosphor precursors, indicates that the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors had an SrMoO4 structure. The properties of these resulting phosphors have also been characterized by using photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The PL results indicate that all of the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors exhibit intense red emissions under 275, 395, and 465-nm excitation. The two strongest lines at 395 and 465 nm in the excitation spectra of these phosphors match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue GaN-based light-emitting diodes. Some process parameters for Eu3+ concentration, (C6H8O7)·H2O concentration, and solution pH value were also investigated. For (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors, there are two maximum emission intensities appearing with x = 0.6 and x = 1.4, respectively. When the molar ratio of citric acid is equal to that of metal cations and the solution pH is almost 4, (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 shows the strongest emission intensity compared to those under other conditions.展开更多

In this paper, the commercial Eu2＋-activated nitride red phosphors, Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05, Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15 and Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01 phosphors were an-nealed at different temperatures （beyond 300 oC） to investigate the dependence of their luminescence performance and structure vari-ability on the temperature. By photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calo-rimetry （TG-DSC） analysis, the high temperature stability of the hosts and activator of the three samples were disclosed. With the an-nealing temperature increasing, the activator Eu2＋ions were firstly oxidized and then host in Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05 and Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15, but for Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01, only the oxidation of the host could be observed, which would lead to the luminescence degradation and even failure of these phosphors. The activator Eu2＋ions were much more stable in CaAlSiN3：Eu than Sr2Si5N8：Eu due to their crystal surroundings, and its concentration also influenced the temperature stability of Sr2Si5N8：Eu.展开更多

A series of single-phased and high-efficiency SrSiN2：Eu2＋ red phosphors were synthesized based on this method. Their structure, morphology, luminescence, quantum efficiency （QE） and thermal quenching properties were investigated and compared with those of SrSiN2： Eu2＋ prepared by the conventional route.

文摘The luminescent properties of Eu^3＋doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions： the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm （325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm） were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu^3＋. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of ^5D0-^7F2. In addition, the effects of the Eu^3＋ content and charge compensators of Li^＋, Na^＋, K^＋, and Cl^- ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.

文摘Sol-gel method was utilized to synthesize two different series of red silicate phosphors : MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 powder samples doped with Mn2+, conducted the investigation of red long-lasting phosphor: MgSiO3 : Eu2 + , Dy3+, Mn2+ . TGA curves of the gel precursor for two series depicted that the loss of residual organic groups and NO3 groups occurs below 450℃. According to the XRD patterns, the major diffraction peaks of the MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 series are consistent with a proto-enstatite structure (JCPDS No.11-0273) and a forsterite structure (JCPDS No.85-1364) respectively. With the excitation at 415 nm, the red emission band of Mn2+ ions is peaked at 661 nm for MgSiO3:1%(atom fraction) Mn2+ or 644 nm for MgiSiO4: 1 %(atom fraction) Mn2+ . Compared with Mg2SiO4:Mn2+ samples, MgSiO3:Mn2+ samples exhibit higher luminescence intensity and higher quenching concentration. In addition, the two series co-doped with Eu2+ , Dy3+ , Mn2+ were also prepared. Photo-luminescence and afterglow properties of the two co-doped series were analyzed, which show that MgSiO3: Eu2 + , Dy3+ , Mn2+ is more suitable for a red long-lasting phosphor.
文摘A series of (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 red phosphors have been synthesized by using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction, used to characterize the crystallization process of the phosphor precursors, indicates that the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors had an SrMoO4 structure. The properties of these resulting phosphors have also been characterized by using photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The PL results indicate that all of the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors exhibit intense red emissions under 275, 395, and 465-nm excitation. The two strongest lines at 395 and 465 nm in the excitation spectra of these phosphors match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue GaN-based light-emitting diodes. Some process parameters for Eu3+ concentration, (C6H8O7)·H2O concentration, and solution pH value were also investigated. For (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors, there are two maximum emission intensities appearing with x = 0.6 and x = 1.4, respectively. When the molar ratio of citric acid is equal to that of metal cations and the solution pH is almost 4, (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 shows the strongest emission intensity compared to those under other conditions.

文摘The rapid development of phosphor-converted white light emitting diodes(pc-WLEDs)requires new red phosphors with efficient and thermally stable luminescence for high-quality warm-white lighting.However,it is still a challenge to discover red phosphors with facile synthesis,high internal quantum efficiency(IQE),excellent thermal stability and high color purity.Herein,a novel red-emitting Eu^(3+)activated barium dialuminum digermanate(BaAl_(2)Ge_(3)O_(8),EAGO)phosphor showing strong red emission at 610 nm was prepared.The IQE is improved from 32.91%to 78.84%by employing a charge compensation strategy.The lithium-ion co-dop ed BAGO:Eu^(3+)phosphor exhibits a nearly twofold increase in integral photoluminescence(PL)intensity and the high color purity reaches 94.17%.Impressively,the PL intensity of the BAGO:Eu^(3+),Li^(+)phosphor drops by only 2.6%at 150℃of that at room temperature.Finally,the pc-WLED using the red BAGO:Eu^(3+),Li^(+)phosphor exhibits white light with the chromaticity coordinate of(0.3515,0.3495),a high color-rendering index of 92 and a low correlated color temperature of 4746 K.All these results manifest that BAGO:Eu^(3+),Li^(+)phosphor is a suitable red phosphor for nearultraviolet(NUV)chip-based pc-WLEDs.

文摘The novel nitride-based luminescent materials have received much attention since the end of the last century. In this paper, the commercial Eu2＋-activated nitride red phosphors, Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05, Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15 and Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01 phosphors were an-nealed at different temperatures （beyond 300 oC） to investigate the dependence of their luminescence performance and structure vari-ability on the temperature. By photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calo-rimetry （TG-DSC） analysis, the high temperature stability of the hosts and activator of the three samples were disclosed. With the an-nealing temperature increasing, the activator Eu2＋ions were firstly oxidized and then host in Sr1.95Si5N8：Eu0.05 and Sr1.85Si5N8：Eu0.15, but for Ca0.99AlSiN3：Eu0.01, only the oxidation of the host could be observed, which would lead to the luminescence degradation and even failure of these phosphors. The activator Eu2＋ions were much more stable in CaAlSiN3：Eu than Sr2Si5N8：Eu due to their crystal surroundings, and its concentration also influenced the temperature stability of Sr2Si5N8：Eu.

文摘K2Ba（MoO4）2：Eu3＋ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction. The emission and excitation spectra of K2 Ba（MoO4）2：Eu3＋ phosphors exhibited that the phosphors could be effectively excited by near ultraviolet （394 nm） and blue （465 nm） light, and emitted red light at 616 nm.

文摘A series of red phosphors Ca10Li （PO4）7：Eu3＋ were synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method. Their luminescence properties were characterized by means of photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra,CIE chromaticity and quantum efficiency. Results indicated that the phosphors could be effectively excited by the near ultraviolet （NUV） light （393 nm）. The main emission peaks of the phosphor were ascribed to the transition 5D0–7F2 （613 and 617 nm） of Eu3＋ ion when samples were excited by 393 nm. The CIE chromaticity （x,y） of Ca9.9Li （PO4）7：0.10Eu3＋ was x=0.638,y=0.361 and the quantum efficiency of this phosphor was 75% excited by 393 nm. Therefore,this phosphor could be a promising red component for the applications in white LEDs.

文摘The Bi3＋ doped molybdate-based red-emitting phosphors, LiEu1-xBix（MoO4）2, were successfully synthesized with a sol-gel method. The prepared LiEu1-xBix（MoO4）2 phosphors exhibited pure and intense red emission at 613 nm under the excitation of near-UV 394 nm. It was discussed in detail that the influence of the synthesis conditions such as the doping concentration of Bi3, the dose of citric acid, pH of the precursor solution and the sintering temperature on the emission intensity of the phosphors. According to the results, the optimal condition was obtained： the doping concentration of Bi3＋ was 15 mol.%, molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions was 1.5：1, pH of the precursor solution was 1.0 and the sintering temperature was 800 ℃. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns of the LiEuo.85Bi0.15（MoO4）2 phosphor prepared under the optimal condition indicated that the phosphor was single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure. The Commission Intemationale de I＇E- clairage （CIE） chromaticity coordinates of LiEuo.85Bio.15（MoO4）2 were （x=0.655, y=0.345）, which were closer to the national television stan- dard committee （NTSC） standard values （x=0.670, y=0.330） than that of a commercial red phosphor of Y202S：Eu3＋（x=0.630, y=0.350）. This LiEuo.85Bi0As（MoO4）2 red phosphor is a promising candidate for the fabrication of white light-emitting diode （W-LED） with near-UV chips.

文摘CaTiO3：Eu3＋ red phosphors were prepared using H3BO3 assisted solid state synthesis. The structure and morphology of the obtained sample were observed by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. And the luminescence property was measured using photoluminescence excitation （PLE） and photoluminescence （PL） spectra, respectively. In the excitation spectra, main excitation peaks of the prepared samples were centered at 397 and 465 nm, revealing that these phosphors could be excited by commercial GaN- and InGaN-typed light emitting diodes （LEDs）. Dominant emission peaks of the phosphors were located at 616 nm, owing to the transition of 5D0→7F2 of Eu3＋. In the optimum condition, CaTiO3：3%Eu3＋ phosphor was obtained at a sintering temperature of 1200 °C in air with a content of 20 mol.% H3BO3 addition. When excited by 397 nm irradiation, the PL intensity of as-prepared red phosphor was 2.2 times higher than that of samples obtained by traditional solid state synthesis, while the PL intensity was 3 times higher than that excited by 465 nm irradiation. The added H3BO3 improved the crystallinity, and increased the color purity, implying the potential to be a promising red phosphor in white light emitting diodes （WLEDs）.

文摘A series of new oxyapatite red phosphors Ca_(3) Y_(7)(BO_(4)) (SiO_(4))_(5) O doped with different concentrations of Eu^(3+)were successfully synthesized by high temperature solid state method.The X-ray diffraction(XRD)Rietveld refinement results show that the structure of the phosphor belongs to space group P6_(3)/m and Eu^(3+)ion replaces Y^(3+)ion.The emission spectrum consists of the characteristic emission peaks corresponding to Eu^(3+)under the excitation of 274 nm and the dominant emission peak is at 614 nm(^(5)D_(0)→^(7)F_(2) of Eu^(3+)).The concentration quenching effect occurs and the optimized Eu^(3+)concentration is 4.0 mol%.The energy level diagram for luminous mechanism is also given and the non-radiative energy transfer mechanism between Eu^(3+)is mainly exchange interaction.The CIE coordinate is close to the ideal red light and the color purity is higher than 99.79%.Moreover,the phosphor exhibits moderate thermal stability because the photoluminescence intensity at 423 K is still maintained at higher than 78.97%of that at room temperature.The internal quantum efficiency of Ca_(3) Y_(7)(BO_(4)) (SiO_(4))_(5) O:4.0 mol%Eu^(3+)phosphor is 58.2%.A red light emitting diode(LED)device based on it can emit bright red light.The CCT values of the device are basically unchanged when driven by various bias current.The results show that Ca_(3) Y_(7)(BO_(4)) (SiO_(4))_(5) O:Eu^(3+)is a new type of oxyapatite red fluorescent material with good comprehensive performances.

文摘A series of non-rare earth Mn^(4+)-activated strontium aluminate phosphors Sr_(4)Al_(14)O_(25):Mn^(4+)co-doped with Sc^(3+)ions were successfully synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction method.XRD result reveals that there is no introduction of additional phase but expansion of lattice with incorporation of Sc34 ions.Excitation and emission spectrum measurement shows that the synthesized phosphors can be efficiently excited by near-ultraviolet and blue light,and a deep red emission centered at 652 nm with a narrow full width at half maximum(FWHM)can be obtained,which is attributed to the transition^(2)E→^(4)A_(2)of Mn^(4+)ions.In addition,the crystal field strength parameter(Dq)and Racah parameters(B,C)and energies of states were calculated based on experimental data.Moreover,the luminous intensity of Sr_(4)Al_(14-x)SCxO_(25):Mn^(4+)is enhanced and increased by 60%compared with Mn^(4+)single incorporated sample at x=0.06.A phenomenon of redshift is observed in the excitation spectrum and discussed systematically.Finally,the mechanism of the positive effects with Sc^(3+)ions incorporated into lattice is discussed in detail.All the results suggest that the Sr_(4)Al_(13.94)Sc_(0.06)O_(25):Mn^(4+)phosphor will become one of the great candidates for backlight of LCD.

文摘This paper reported a novel synthetic route to Eu2＋ doped SrSiN2 deep red phosphors for white light-emitting diodes. A series of single-phased and high-efficiency SrSiN2：Eu2＋ red phosphors were synthesized based on this method. Their structure, morphology, luminescence, quantum efficiency （QE） and thermal quenching properties were investigated and compared with those of SrSiN2： Eu2＋ prepared by the conventional route. It was found that the addition of a small amount of Si3N4 could promote the formation of SrSiN2 from Sr2SisN8 phase. A highly uniform rod-shaped morphology was obtained based on this method. The X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld refinement analysis identified the preferential crystalline orientation growth. Under the blue light excitation, Eu2＋ doped SrSiN2 phosphors showed excellent optical properties. Compared with those prepared by the conventional approaches, the external QE of SrSiN2：Eu2＋ phosphor was greatly improved, allowing it a promising phosphor for white LEDs.

文摘A series of(Y_(1-y), Gdy)_(0.95-x)(P_y, V_(1-y))O_4 :0.05Eu^(3+), xBi^(3+)+phosphors have been successfully prepared by a subsection method. The crystal structure, surface morphology and luminescence properties were investigated. It was found that the sintered samples crystallized in a tetragonal crystal system with space group I_(41)/amd(a = b = 0.7119 nm, c = 0.6290 nm). The products presented rod-like morphology with length of 100-150 nm and width of 50-100 nm. A maximum peak at 619 nm(~5D_0 →~7F_2) was observed in emission spectrum of the phosphors. It was also found that co-doping of Bi^(3+)+, P5+and Gd^(3+)ions into YVO_4:Eu^(3+)can not only made the right edge of the excitation band shift to the long-wavelength region, but also increased the emission intensity at 619 nm sharply and decreased the lifetime of fluorescence decay. These results may expand the application scope of the phosphors.
