The luminescence mechanism of the phosphors which showed broad red emission bands in the range of 610–715 nm and had a different maximum intensity when activated by UV illumination was discussed. Such a red emission can be attributed to the intrinsic ²E → ⁴A₂ transitions of Mn⁴⁺.

Energy Transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+/Dy3+/Mn2+ in Ca9Ga(PO4)7 Phosphors: Synthesis,Structure and Tunable Multicolor Luminescent Properties

A series of Ca₉Ga(PO₄)₇:Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺ phosphors with tunable color, in which Ce³⁺ acts as the sensitizer, was synthesized. Energy transfer (ET) from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺ was investigated in detail. Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺ single-doped Ca₉Ga(PO₄)₇ can exhibit green, yellow, and red emission, respectively. Incorporating Ce³⁺ into a Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺ single-doped Ca₉Ga(PO₄)₇ phosphor can remarkably promote the luminous efficiency of the Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺ ions. This enhancement originates from an efficient ET from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺/Dy³⁺/Mn²⁺. The ET was validated by luminescence spectra, decay dynamics, and schematic energy levels. Moreover, the intensity ratio of red emission of Mn²⁺ to violet emission of Ce³⁺ was analyzed based on energy-transfer and lifetime measurements. In Ce³⁺-Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺-Dy³⁺, and Ce³⁺-Mn²⁺ doped Ca₉Ga(PO₄)₇, the emitting color changed from violet to green, yellow, and red, respectively, which indicates the potential use of this new tunable phosphor in UV light-emitting diodes.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel blue emitting Na2CaSiO4:Ce3+ phosphor

The blue phosphors Na_(2?x)Ca_(1?x)SiO₄:xCe³⁺ were synthesized by the sol–gel method and their luminescence characteristics were investigated for the first time. Structural information about prepared samples is obtained by analyzing the XRD patterns and SEM micrographs. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra indicate that the Na_(2?x)Ca_(1?x)SiO₄:xCe³⁺ phosphors can be effectively excited by ultraviolet (360 nm) light. The PL emission spectra exhibit tunable blue broadband emission with the dominant wavelength of 427–447 nm under excitation of 360 nm by controlling the doping concentration of Ce³⁺. The concentration quenching effect for Ce³⁺ was found at the optimum doping concentration of 4 mol%. The Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage 1931 chromaticity coordinates of Na_1.96Ca_0.96SiO₄:0.04Ce³⁺ are (0.1447, 0.0787), which are better color purity compared to the commercial Eu²⁺-doped BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇ phosphor. Na_1.96Ca_0.96SiO₄:0.04Ce³⁺ composition shows intense blue emission (peak wavelength, 439 nm) with relative intensity versus commercial BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇:Eu²⁺ blue phosphor (Nichia) 65 and 158 % under 254 and 365 nm excitation, respectively. All the results indicate that Na_(2?x)Ca_(1?x)SiO₄:xCe³⁺ phosphors are potential candidate as a blue emitting phosphor for UV-converting white light-emitting diodes.     

Suppression of charge imbalance via Li+-Mn4+ co-incorporated Sr2YSbO6 red phosphors for warm w-LEDs

Mn⁴⁺-activated double perovskite phosphors with composition diversity have presented excellent luminescent performances. However, the charge imbalance between Mn⁴⁺ and matrix cations would increase non-radiative recombination and reduce the structural stability. Here, novel high-efficiency stable Li⁺/Mn⁴⁺ co-incorporated Sr₂YSbO₆ red phosphors are successfully synthesized via a solid-state reaction method for warm w-LEDs, where the Li⁺ ions have the effect of charge balance for Sr₂YSbO₆:Mn⁴⁺ and reduce the non-radiative energy transfer among Mn⁴⁺ ions. It is demonstrated that the substitution of Li⁺–Mn⁴⁺ pairs for Sb⁵⁺ can enhance the bonding with low-shifted diffraction peaks and high emission intensity, and prolong the decay lifetime, compared with those of Mn⁴⁺ single-doped ones. Impressively, the thermal stability is enhanced to 89.72% from 84.61% at the original value of 303 K. Finally, a w-LED device based on the optimal phosphor Sr₂YSbO₆:0.01Mn⁴⁺/0.01Li⁺ red component exhibits a correlated color temperature of 4487 K and color rendering index of 80.2. Therefore, the incorporated Li⁺ ions serve as both charge compensator and co-activator in Mn⁴⁺-activated double perovskite phosphors with the aim of high luminescent performance and thermal stability.     

Finding an efficient far-red-emitting CaMg2La2W2O12:Mn4+ phosphor toward indoor plant cultivation LED lighting

The development of high-brightness far-red-emitting phosphors with emission wavelength within 650–750 nm is of great significance for indoor plant cultivation light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. Herein, we demonstrate a novel efficient far-red-emitting phosphors CaMg₂La₂W₂O₁₂:Mn⁴⁺ (abbreviated as CMLW:Mn⁴⁺) toward application in plant cultivation LEDs. Interestingly, the CMLW:Mn⁴⁺ phosphors show a broad excitation band in the 250–600 nm spectral range with two peaks at 352 and 479 nm, indicating they could be efficiently excited by near-ultraviolet and blue light. Under 352 nm excitation, the CMLW:Mn⁴⁺ phosphors exhibit an intense far-red emission band in the wavelength range of 650–800 nm peaking at 708 nm, corresponding to the ²E_g → ⁴A_2g transition of Mn⁴⁺ ions. Mn⁴⁺ doping concentration-dependent luminescence properties are studied in detail, and the concentration quenching mechanism is also investigated. Particularly, the internal quantum efficiency of CMLW:Mn⁴⁺ phosphors reaches as high as 44%, and their PL spectra match well with the absorption spectrum of phytochrome P_FR (P_FR stands for far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome). Furthermore, a prototype LED device is fabricated by coating the as-prepared CMLW:0.8%Mn⁴⁺ phosphors on a 460 nm blue LED chip, which produces bright far-red emissions upon 20–300 mA driving currents. This work reveals that the newly discovered far-red-emitting CMLW:Mn⁴⁺ phosphors hold great potential for application in indoor plant cultivation.     

Novel high-saturated red-emitting phosphor Sr9(Mg0.5Mn0.5)K(PO4)7: Eu2+ with great quantum efficiency enhancement by La3+ codoping for white LED application

In this work, a novel whitlockite-structure red-emitting phosphor host, Sr₉(Mg_0.5Mn_0.5)K(PO₄)₇, is designed and successfully synthesized via a solid-state reaction. Upon X-ray diffractometer Rietveld refinement, it is revealed that this compound possesses compact Eu²⁺-Mn²⁺ distance (3.6809 Å) and large intra-Mn²⁺ distance (8.9905 Å), which is beneficial to the high-efficient Eu²⁺-Mn²⁺ energy transfer. By Eu²⁺ sensitization, our new phosphor exhibits a high-saturated and bright red Mn²⁺ emission at 620 nm with high color purity of 97.9%. Great emission enhancement up to 245 times than host is achieved by La³⁺ heterovalent substitution, which can be ascribed to the La³⁺-induced further structural confinement effect. Moreover, the quantum efficiency is boosted by twofold. The as-fabricated white phosphor-converted LEDs device shows bright warm white light with correlated color temperature (CCT) of 3,487 K, color-rendering index (CRI) of 92.4, and luminous efficacy of 31.59 lm/W. This work proves the feasibility of chemical unit co-substitution strategy in emission engineering of Mn²⁺-based phosphors, which can stimulate further studies on the red-emitting phosphor materials.     

Designing ultra-highly efficient Mn2+-activated Zn2GeO4 green-emitting persistent phosphors toward versatile applications

Developing highly efficient green-emitting phosphors is very significant because human eyes are sensitive to green spectral region. Herein, Mn²⁺-activated Zn₂GeO₄ phosphors, which can emit bright green light with an ultrahigh internal quantum efficiency of 98.5%, were prepared by a solid-state reaction technology in ambient atmosphere. At 323 nm irradiation, the emission spectrum shows a narrow band centered at 534 nm, which is ascribed to the ⁴T₁ → ⁶A₁ transition of Mn²⁺, with a full width at half maxima of 49.5 nm. Through monitoring the temperature-dependent photoluminescence emission intensity and decay time of Mn²⁺, we explored the thermometric properties of the resultant compound and found maximum relative sensitivities of Zn₂GeO₄:0.02Mn²⁺ phosphor are 4.90% K^?1 and 0.74% K^?1, respectively. Furthermore, green afterglow phenomenon is observed in the designed phosphors, and its mechanism is verified by discussing the thermoluminescence. Because of the excellent luminescence behaviors, various multimode luminescent patterns for information encryption are designed, including anticounterfeiting and fingerprint identification. Furthermore, using the prepared Zn₂GeO₄:0.02Mn²⁺ as green-emitting components, a white-light-emitting diode with suitable color coordinates, high color rending index (>90), and low correlated color temperature (5,000–6,000 K) was fabricated. These results demonstrate that Mn²⁺-activated Zn₂GeO₄ phosphors are multifunctional green-emitting components for optical thermometry, anticounterfeiting, fingerprint detection, and solid-state lighting applications.     

Luminescent properties and energy transfer process of Sm3+-Eu3+ co-doped MY2(MoO4)4 (M=Ca,Sr and Ba) red-emitting phosphors

MY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ and MY₂(MoO₄)₄:xSm³⁺,yEu³⁺ (M=Ca, Sr and Ba) phosphors were successfully prepared using solid-state reaction route, and their luminescent properties and energy transfer process from Sm³⁺ to Eu³⁺ were systematically investigated. The results indicate that MY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ phosphors can be effectively excited by 407 nm near UV light originating from the ⁶H_5/2 → ⁴F_7/2 transition of Sm³⁺, and exhibit a satisfactory red emission at 646 nm attributed to the ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2 transition of Sm³⁺, in which the emission intensity of SrY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ is the strongest among the MY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ (M=Ca, Sr and Ba) phosphors. For Eu³⁺ co-doped MY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ samples, with increasing Eu³⁺ doping content, the main emission peaks of Sm³⁺ (approximately 646 nm) are decreased, but the emission peaks and intensity of Eu³⁺ are increased while the maximum intensity of luminescence at the Eu³⁺ concentration 0.9. The introduction of Eu³⁺ in the MY₂(MoO₄)₄:Sm³⁺ phosphors can remarkably generate a strong emission line at 616 nm, originating from the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ and Sm³⁺ (⁴G_5/2) → Eu³⁺ (⁵D₀) effective energy transfer process. The energy transfer mechanism from Sm³⁺ to Eu³⁺ was discussed in detail.     

A New Mode of Energy Transfer between Mn2+ and Eu2+ in Nitride‐Based Phosphor SrAlSi4N7 with Tunable Light and Excellent Thermal Stability

In this work, reciprocal energy transfer between Mn²⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions in nitride SrAlSi₄N₇ has been found and investigated in detail. In contrast to Mn²⁺‐ and Eu²⁺‐activated oxide‐based phosphors, the red light centered at 608 nm is ascribed to 4f–5d transitions of Eu²⁺ ions and Mn²⁺‐activated SrAlSi₄N₇ emits a cyan light peaking at 500 nm. Additionally, the special broad excitation band of SrAlSi₄N₇:Mn²⁺ centered at 362 nm has been covered by that of Eu²⁺ ions ranging from 300 to 550 nm. The overlap of the energy level of Mn²⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions creates the conditions for reciprocal energy transfer between Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ ions. A series of SrAlSi₄N₇:0.002 Mn²⁺,xEu²⁺ (0≤x≤005) with tunable light emission have been synthesized and the decay curves of samples prove the reciprocal occurrence of the energy transfer between Mn²⁺ and Eu²⁺ ions. This mode of energy transfer not only prevents the loss of energy, but also improves the thermal stability, and the intensity of SrAlSi₄N₇:Mn²⁺,Eu²⁺ at 150 °C is still beyond 92 % of the initial intensity. The results provide a new mode of energy transfer, which is expected to reduce the drawbacks existing in energy transfer.     

Eu2+ & Mn2+‐Coactivated Ba3Gd(PO4)3 Orange‐Yellow‐Emitting Phosphor with Tunable Color Tone for UV‐Excited White LEDs

A novel orange‐yellow‐emitting Ba₃Gd(PO₄)₃:x Eu²⁺,y Mn²⁺ phosphor is prepared by high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. The crystal structure of Ba₃Gd(PO₄)₃:0.005 Eu²⁺,0.04 Mn²⁺ is determined by Rietveld refinement analysis on powder X‐ray diffraction data, which shows that the cations are disordered on a single crystallographic site and the oxygen atoms are distributed over two partially occupied sites. The photoluminescence excitation spectra show that the developed phosphor has an efficient broad absorption band ranging from 230 to 420 nm, perfectly matching the characteristic emission of UV‐light emitting diode (LED) chips. The emission spectra show that the obtained phosphors possess tunable color emissions from yellowish‐green through yellow and ultimately to reddish‐orange by simply adjusting the Mn²⁺ content (y) in Ba₃Gd(PO₄)₃:0.005 Eu²⁺,y Mn²⁺ host. The tunable color emissions origin from the change in intensity between the 4f–5d transitions in the Eu²⁺ ions and the ⁴T₁‐⁶A₁ transitions of the Mn²⁺ ions through the energy transfer from the Eu²⁺ to the Mn²⁺ ions. In addition, the mechanism of the energy transfer between the Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ ions are also studied in terms of the Inokuti–Hirayama theoretical model. The present results indicate that this novel orange‐yellow‐emitting phosphor can be used as a potential candidate for the application in white LEDs.

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.     

Investigation of Luminescence Properties of Eu3+, Dy3+ and Gd3+ Doped MgAl2Si2O8 Red‐emitting Phosphors

The phosphors were characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), thermoluminescence (TL) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X‐ray powder diffraction studies show that the phosphors were crystallized in the triclinic crystal system. The phosphors show characteristic broad band phosphorescence of Eu³⁺. This broad band phosphorescence has red emission bands in the range of 580–705 nm corresponding to ⁵D₀ → ⁷F_j (j:0,2,3,4) transitions of Eu³⁺.     

Tunable luminescence and energy transfer process between Tb3+ and Eu3+ in GYAG:Bi3+, Tb3+, Eu3+ phosphors

The XRD pattern of GYAG phosphor sintered at 1500 °C confirms their garnet phase. The luminescence properties of these phosphors have been explored by analyzing their excitation and emission spectra along with their decay curves. The excitation spectra of the GYAG:Bi³⁺, Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors consists of broad bands in the shorter wavelength region due to 4f⁸ → 4f⁷5d¹ transition of Tb³⁺ ions overlapped with 6s² → 6s¹6p¹ (¹S₀ → ³P₁) transition of Bi³⁺ ions and the charge transfer band of Eu³⁺–O^2?. The present phosphors exhibit green and red colors due to ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺ ions and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ transition of Eu³⁺ ions, respectively. The emission was shifted from green to red color by co-doping with Eu³⁺ ions, which indicate that the energy transfer probability from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions are dependent strongly on the concentration of Eu³⁺ ions.

The crystallization processes were tracked by means of X-ray diffraction and thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The size and shape of the products were characterized using a scanning electron microscope, while the luminescent spectra of these resulting phosphors were recorded using a photoluminescence (PL) spectrophotometer. PL studies reveal that the emission intensity of SLM:Eu phosphors was strongly related to sintering temperature as well as the doping concentration of Eu³⁺ ions. The present phosphor has a strong excitation at 395 and 459 nm, indicating that it could serve as a promising red-emitting candidate for near-UV and GaN-based blue light-emitting diode chips.

Luminescence Tuning of Sr8MgCe(PO4)7:Eu2+,Mn2+ Phosphors: Structure Refinement,Site Occupancy,and Energy Transfer

Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺,Mn²⁺ phosphor with whitlockite‐type structure was prepared by a combustion‐assisted solid‐state reaction. The crystal structure and luminescence properties were investigated. Under UV radiation, Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇ host exhibits a violet‐blue emission band from Ce³⁺ ions. When Eu²⁺/Mn²⁺ are doped into the host, the samples excited with 270 nm UV radiation present multicolor emissions due to the energy transfer (ET) from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺/Mn²⁺. The emitting color of Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺ can be tuned from violet‐blue to yellow‐green, whereas Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇:Mn²⁺ can emit red light. Under excitation with long wavelength at 360 nm, Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺ phosphor shows a broadband emission from 390 to 700 nm, which is attributed to the 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷ transition of Eu²⁺ without the contribution from Ce³⁺ emission. Tunable full‐color emitting light can be achieved in the Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺‐codoped Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇ phosphor by ET_Eu–Mn through control of the levels of doped Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ ions. These results suggest that Sr₈MgCe(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺,Mn²⁺ phosphor has potential applications in NUV chip pumped white LEDs.
