Octahedron-dependent near-infrared luminescence in Cr3+-activated phosphors

Searching for broadband near-infrared (NIR) materials with high efficiency and excellent thermal luminescence stability is of great significance because of their widespread spectroscopic applications. Different element substitution can modulate the structure and crystal field of host lattice so as to regulate the luminescent properties. Herein, we report the octahedron-dependent NIR luminescence in Cr³⁺-doped KMP₂O₇ (M = Ga, Sc, In, and Lu) phosphors and investigate the effect of octahedral environment on luminescent properties, aiming to provide guidance for host material selection. The decreased crystal field strength leads to the apparent spectral red shift from 815 to 900 nm for the samples of M = Ga to Lu. The small Stokes shift as well as weak electron–phonon coupling effect decreases the non-radiative transition probability and thus gives rise to the highest emission intensity and excellent thermal stability of Cr³⁺-doped KGaP₂O₇. The optimal sample, KGa_0.89P₂O₇:0.11Cr³⁺, possesses an internal/external quantum efficiency of 55.8%/36.6%, and its integrated emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 68% of that at room temperature. Finally, we investigate the potential applications in non-destructive examination field by manufacturing a NIR phosphor-conversion light-emitting diode device.     

How far are luminescence properties predictable?

Our knowledge of the luminescence of isolators has increased considerably during the past decade. As a consequence it has become possible to understand the luminescence of technically important phosphors and even to predict efficient luminescent materials. We first illustrate how emission spectra of a given activator can be varied by changing the host lattice. Second we consider the factors influencing the luminescent efficiency. Using a single-configurational coordinate model, we have performed calculations on a model system. These illustrate which factors are important for efficiency. Some clear results are reported. Finally, we discuss the mobility of excitation energy. In some phosphors the excitation is highly mobile even at low temperatures. As a consequence emission originates from centers which trap the excitation energy. In other phosphors this mobility is low, and at low temperatures emission occurs from the regular luminescence centers. At higher temperatures the excitation energy can become mobile because of thermal activation.

New Strategy for Optimizing the Properties of Copper Halide Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Lighting-emitting Materials

Copper(I) halide organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials have many advantages, such as diverse structure, facile synthesis, high luminescent efficiency, tunable optical performance, etc., and show a broad application prospect in energy-saving lighting, display and other fields. However, compared with commercial rare-earth-metal-based phosphors, the reported hybrids generally suffer from poor stability and low luminescent efficiency, which are the bottleneck problem of their practical application. With the aim of developing high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials, a new synthesis strategy has been reported. This strategy can systematically design and synthesis copper(I) halide ionic hybrid structures by combining the covalent bonding and ionic bonding between inorganic and organic components into one structure, and use their synergistic effect to optimizing their properties. This design method is expected to develop high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent materials, promote the in-depth understanding of this field, and provide new ideas for the optimization of other types of hybrid materials.     

Improved Thermal and Chemical Stability of Oxynitride Phosphor from Facile Chemical Synthesis for Vehicle Cornering Lights

Orange Eu²⁺-doped phosphors are essential for light-emitting diodes for cornering lights to prevent fatal road accidents at night, but such phosphors require features of high thermal, chemical stability and facile synthesis. This study reports a series of yellow-orange-red emitting SrAl₂Si₃ON₆:Eu²⁺ oxynitride phosphors, derived from the SrAlSi₄N₇ nitride iso-structure by replacing Si⁴⁺−N³⁻ with Al³⁺−O²⁻. The introduction of a certain amount of oxygen enabled the facile synthesis under atmospheric pressure using the air-stable raw materials SrCO₃, Eu₂O₃, AlN and Si₃N₄. SrAl₂Si₃ON₆ has a smaller band gap and lower structure rigidity than SrAlSi₄N₇ (5.19 eV vs 5.50 eV, Debye temperature 719 K vs 760 K), but exhibits higher thermal stability with 100 % of room temperature intensity remaining at 150 °C compared to 85 % for SrAlSi₄N₇. Electron paramagnetic resonance, thermoluminescence and density functional theory revealed that the oxygen vacancy electron traps compensated the thermal loss. Additionally, no decrease in emission intensity was found after either being heated at 500 °C for 2 hours or being immersed in water for 20 days, implying both of the thermal and chemical stability of SrAl₂Si₃ON₆:Eu²⁺ phosphors. The strategy of oxynitride-introduction from nitride promotes the development of low-cost thermally and chemically stable luminescent materials.     

Controlling Cr3+/Cr4+ concentration in single-phase host toward tailored super-broad near-infrared luminescence for multifunctional applications

Full control on the valence of the active ions in solids to improve properties is the central topic of chemistry and materials. Cr³⁺ and Cr⁴⁺ ions generally emit wavelength-different near-infrared (NIR) light. Here, we have developed a chromium valence-controllable single-phase phosphor, Mg₂GeO₄:Cr³⁺,Cr⁴⁺ to achieve super-broad NIR luminescence. High Li ⁺ content charge compensators can stabilize Cr³⁺, whereas high-temperature sintering tends to facilitate the formation of Cr⁴⁺. Through fine adjusting the synthesis conditions, pure Cr³⁺ or Cr⁴⁺ luminescence can be obtained with peak emission locating at 935 nm and 1190 nm, respectively. Super broad band dual emission spanning from 650 nm to 1600 nm is realized via fully controlling the concentration ratio of Cr³⁺ to Cr⁴⁺ in a single host. By measuring the transmission spectra of several foodstuff illuminated by our phosphors, non-destructive analysis in food safety areas can be realized. This study provides a new strategy for exploiting super broad band NIR luminescent materials.     

Effects of Sm Co-doping on Luminescent Properties of Sr4Al14O25:M (M=Mn4+, Cr3+) Phosphors

The Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:M and doped Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:M+Sm³⁺ (M=Mn⁴⁺, Cr³⁺) phosphors were syn-thesized by a solid-state reaction method and their luminescent properties were investi-gated. The results showed that the co-doping of Sm ions did not change the positions of excitation band and emission band but signi cantly improved the luminescent properties of Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Cr³⁺ phosphors; whereas, the emission intensity of Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Mn⁴⁺ was re-dueced remarkably when Sm ions were co-doped. In addtion, a radiative-form energy transfer from Sm³⁺ to Cr³⁺ was observed for the first time in the Cr, Sm co-doped Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅ phos-phors. The results indicated that Sm ions could signi cantly improve the emission intensity of Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Cr³⁺, making the Sm³⁺co-doped Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Cr³⁺ phosphor a promising can-didate for the applications in display and solid state lightening.
