A potential red emitting K4Ca(PO4)2: Eu3+ phosphor for white light emitting diodes

Europium (III) ions doped red phosphors K₄Ca(PO₄)₂ were prepared first time by high temperature solid state reaction method. The prepared phosphors structure was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The thermal properties of the synthesized phosphor were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of K₄Ca(PO₄)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphors have shown strong red emission at 618 nm (⁵D₀→⁷F₂) with near UV an excitation wavelength of λ_exc=394 nm (⁷F₀→⁵L₆). In addition, the decay curves and CIE color coordinate measurements are also carried out. Hence, emission and excitation characterization of synthesized phosphors shows that the phosphors may be a promising red component for the application in the white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).     

A novel yellow phosphor for white light emitting diodes

This paper reports that a novel yellow phosphor, LiSrBO₃:Eusup>2+, was synthesized by the solid-state reaction. The excitation and emission spectra indicate that this phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet (360 and 400~nm) and blue (425 and 460~nm) light, and exhibits a satisfactory yellow performance (565~nm). The role of concentration of Eusup>2+ on the emission intensity in LiSrBO₃ is studied, and it is found that the critical concentration is 3 mol\%, and the concentration self-quenching mechanism is the dipole--dipole interaction according to the Dexter theory. White light emitting diodes were generated by using an InGaN chip (460~nm or 400~nm) with LiSrBO₃:Eusup>2+ phosphor, the CIE chromaticity is (x=0.341, y=0.321) and (x=0.324, y=0.318), respectively. Therefore, LiSrBO₃:Eusup>2+ is a promising yellow phosphor for white light emitting diodes.     

Photoluminescence characterization of a novel red-emitting phosphor In2(MoO4)3:Eu3+ for white light emitting diodes

The red-emitting phosphor In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ with cubic crystal structure was synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction technique and its photoluminescence properties were investigated. The prepared phosphor can be efficiently excited by ultraviolet (395 nm) and blue (466 nm) light. The emission spectra of the phosphor manifest intensive red-emitting lines at 612 nm due to the electric dipole ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions of Eu³⁺. The chromaticity coordinates of x=0.63, y=0.35 (λ_ex=395 nm) and x=0.60, y=0.38 (λ_ex=466 nm) are close to the standard of National Television Standard Committee values (NTSC) values. The concentration quenching of In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ is 40 mol% and the concentration self-quenching mechanism under 466 nm excitation was the dd intereaction. As a result of the strong emission intensity and good excitation, the phosphor In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ is regarded as a promising red-emitting conversion material for white LEDs.

A novel yellow emitting phosphor Dy3+, Bi3+ co-doped YVO4 potentially for white light emitting diodes

Novel Y1 x yVO4:xDy3+,yBi3+(0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05,0 ≤ y ≤ 0.20) phosphors for light emitting diode(LED) were successfully synthesised by solid-state reaction.The calculation results of electronic structure show that YVO4 has a direct band gap with 3 eV at G.The top of the valence band is dominated by O 2p state and the bottom of the conduction band is mainly composed of O 2p and V 3d states.An efficient yellow emission under near-ultraviolet(365 nm) excitation is observed.Compared with the pure YVO4:Dy3+ samples,the Dy3+,Bi3+ co-doped samples show a more intensive emission peak(at 574 nm) and a new broad emission band(450-770 nm),due to the 4F9/2 6H13/2 transition of Dy3+ and the emission of the VO3 4 Bi3+ complex respectively.The optimum chromaticity index of Y1 x yVO4:xDy3+,yBi3+(0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.05,0 ≤ y ≤ 0.20) is(0.447,0.497),which indicates that YVO4:Dy3+,Bi3+ has higher colour saturation than the commercial phosphor YAG:Ce3+.The effects of concentration of Dy3+,Bi3+,electric states and the photoluminescence properties are discussed in details.

This paper describes an investigation of the crystalline morphology and photoluminescent properties of YInGe₂O₇ powders doped with different Eu³⁺ concentrations using microwave assisted sintering and conventional sintering. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of monoclinic YInGe₂O₇ structure as YInGe₂O₇:Eu³⁺ powders were sintered at 1200 °C in microwave furnace for 1 h, and the raw material phase of Y₂O₃ was observed when Eu³⁺ concentration was below 30 mol%. Scanning electron microscopy showed microwave assisted sintering results in smaller particle size and more uniform grain size distribution. In the photoluminescent (PL) studies, the concentration quenching effect was observed under the excitation at 393 nm, but not under the excitation at CTS band. The ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition (620 nm), exhibits a non-exponential decay behavior as YInGe₂O₇:Eu³⁺ powders were sintered by microwave with the Eu³⁺ concentration higher than 50 mol%.

A blue-green emitting phosphor (Ba_1.95, Eu_0.05)ZnSi₂O₇: B _x ³⁺ was prepared by combustion synthesis and an efficient blue-green emission under near-ultraviolet was observed. The luminescence, crystallinity and particle sizes were investigated by using luminescence spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The emission spectrum shows a single band centered at 503 nm, which corresponds to the 4f ⁶5d ¹ →4f ⁷ transition of Eu²⁺. The excitation spectrum is a broad band extending from 260 to 465 nm, which matches the emission of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes. The optical absorption spectra of the (Ba_1.95, Eu_0.05)ZnSi₂O₇: B _0.06 ³⁺ exhibited band-gap energies of 3.9 eV. The results showed that boric acid was effective in improving the luminescence intensity of (Ba_1.95, Eu_0.05)ZnSi₂O₇, and the optimum molar ratio of boric acid to zinc nitrate was about 0.06. The phosphor (Ba_1.95, Eu_0.05)ZnSi₂O₇: B_0.06³⁺ synthesized by combustion method showed 1.5 times improved emission intensity compared with that of the Ba_1.95ZnSi₂O₇: Eu_0.05²⁺ phosphor under λ _ex = 353 nm.

A series of color tunable phosphors K₂Ca_1?x?yP₂O₇:xMn²⁺, yEu³⁺ are synthesized by solid state reaction method. The energy transfer phenomenon from Mn²⁺ to Eu³⁺ has been observed in the Mn²⁺/Eu³⁺ codoped non-magnetic K₂CaP₂O₇ host, which was confirmed by PL spectra and decay curves. The Mn²⁺→Eu³⁺ energy transfer is controlled by quadrupole–quadrupole interaction between sensitizer and activator. The maximum efficiency of energy transfer is estimated to be 33% with x=0.125 and y=0.03 in K₂Ca_1?x?yP₂O₇:xMn²⁺, yEu³⁺ phosphor. The phosphors can emit light from green to yellow and eventually to orange under 400 nm excitation by changing the Mn²⁺/Eu³⁺ content ratio, indicating that K₂CaP₂O₇: Mn²⁺, Eu³⁺ would be potential candidates for use in lighting and displays applications.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Na2Ba2Si2O7:Eu2+ phosphor

Green-emitting phosphor Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇:Eu²⁺ has been synthesized by a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The phase structure and luminescence properties are characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, temperature-dependent emission spectra, respectively. It can be efficiently excited in the wavelength range of 325–400 nm and consists of a strong broad green band centered at about 501 nm, which is ascribed to 4f⁶6s⁰5d¹ → 4f⁷6s²5d⁰ transition of Eu²⁺. The critical quenching concentration of Eu²⁺ in the Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇ host is about 0.8 mol % and corresponding quenching behavior is ascribed to be electric dipole–dipole interaction. Furthermore, the phosphor has good thermal stability property, and the activation energy for thermal quenching is calculated as 0.34 eV.     

A novel red-emitting phosphor Ca9Bi(PO4)7:Eu3+ for near ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes

Red phosphors Ca₉Bi_1-x(PO₄)₇:xEu³⁺ (x = 0.06, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80 and 1.00) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) route. The X-ray diffraction patterns, photoluminescence spectra, ultraviolet–visible reflection spectroscopy, decay time and the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of these compounds were characterized and analyzed. The Eu-doped Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇ phosphors exhibited strong red luminescence which peaks located at 615 nm due to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ electric dipole transition of Eu³⁺ ions after excitation at 393 nm. Ultraviolet–visible spectra indicated that the band-gap of Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ is larger than that of Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇. The results indicate that the phosphor Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ can be a suitable red-emitting phosphor candidate for LEDs.
