Synthesis and luminescence properties of a broad-band red phosphor Ca3Si2O7:Eu2+ for warm white light-emitting diodes

Single-phase broad-band red-emitting Ca₃Si₂O₇:Eu²⁺ phosphors, with photoluminescence features that qualify them as candidates for white light-emitting diodes applications, were successfully synthesized via a modified solid-state reaction method that employed H₃BO₃ as a flux. The phosphors produced have an intense broad red emission band, with a peak at 603 nm, a full width at half maximum of 110 nm, and color coordinates of (0.550, 0.438). Concentration quenching occurred at 0.01 mol Eu²⁺. The discussion of the results shows that Eu²⁺ ions should be accommodated at the Ca-sites of the lattice, dipole–dipole interactions should predominantly govern the energy transfer mechanism among them, and the critical distance between them is ～31 Å.

采用化学共沉淀法一次煅烧工艺合成了BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+蓝色荧光粉.用X射线衍射仪和荧光分光光度计等对BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+蓝色荧光粉的相结构、发光性能进行了测试.结果表明:化学共沉淀法一次煅烧工艺合成的BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+蓝色荧光粉为单相;其激发光谱分布在240-410 nm的波长范围,峰值位于320 nm处,可以被InGaN管芯产生的350-410 nm辐射有效激发;在365 nm近紫外光的激发下,测得其发射光谱是位于465 nm附近的宽带峰.BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+蓝色荧光粉的发光强度随Eu2+浓度的增大逐渐加强,当Eu2+掺杂的摩尔分数为3.5%时,发光强度达到最大值,而后随掺杂浓度的增加而减小,发生浓度猝灭;根据Dexter能量共振理论,该浓度猝灭是由于Eu2+的离子间交换相互作用引起的.     

The luminescence properties of Eu2+ doped Na2CaMg(PO4)2 phosphor

The blue-emitting phosphors of Eu²⁺-doped Na₂CaMg(PO₄)₂ were prepared by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The crystal phase formation was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction measurement. The luminescence properties were investigated by photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra. The phosphor exhibited the blue luminescence due to the 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷ transition of Eu²⁺ ions under the excitation of near UV light. The influence of temperature on the luminescence intensities and decay lifetimes of Eu²⁺ was investigated. An unusual increase of the decay lifetimes of the 4f⁶5d emission of Eu²⁺ ion is observed in Na₂CaMg(PO₄)₂ from 10 K to room temperature. The thermal stability of the luminescence of Eu²⁺-doped Na₂CaMg(PO₄)₂ was discussed.

Luminescent properties of Eu2+and Dy3+ ions in Ba4Al2O7 phosphor for solid state lighting

In this paper we report the combustion synthesis of rare earth (RE=Eu, Dy) doped Ba₄Al₂O₇ phosphors. Prepared phosphors were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), CIE color co-ordinates and their photoluminescence (PL) properties were also investigated. In case of Ba₄Al₂O₇: Eu²⁺, the emission spectra show unique band centered at 495 nm, which corresponds to the 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷ transition of Eu²⁺, and PL emission spectra of Dy³⁺ ion under 348 nm excitation give two bands centered at 478 nm (blue) and 575 nm (yellow), which originate from the transitions of ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 of Dy³⁺, respectively. The results indicate that the Eu²⁺ and Dy³⁺ activated Ba₄Al₂O₇ phosphor could find application in solid state lighting.

Effect of Sr2+-doping on structure and luminescence properties of BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+ phosphors

Sr²⁺ doped BaAl₂Si₂O₈:Eu²⁺ phosphor was synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. With the increase of Sr²⁺ concentration, the phase structure of (Ba_0.965 ? xSr_xEu_0.035)Al₂Si₂O₈ changes from hexagonal phase to monoclinic phase owing to large activation energy in SrAl₂Si₂O₈ system. (Ba_0.965 ? xSr_xEu_0.035)Al₂Si₂O₈ phosphor exhibits a broad blue band peaking at 425 nm due to the 4f⁶5d–4f⁷(⁸S_7/2) transition of Eu²⁺ ions. The emission intensity increases, accompanied by the blue shift of emission maximum from 459 to 417 nm with the Sr²⁺ doping concentration increasing. The optimal concentration of Sr²⁺ ion is 40%, and the phosphor shows high color stability in CIE chromaticity diagram. The result indicates that Sr²⁺ doped phosphor not only can enhance the relative intensity but also can adjust the chromaticity coordinate.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of green phosphors Ca6Sr4(Si2O7)3Cl2:Eu2+ for white light emitting diodes

Divalent europium-activated chlorosilicate Ca₆Sr₄(Si₂O₇)₃Cl₂:Eu²⁺ phosphors were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction under reductive atmosphere. These phosphors can be efficiently excited by UV–visible light from 320 to 420 nm, which matches that of a near UV-emitting InGaN chip. Under the 360 nm excitation, Ca₆Sr_3.97(Si₂O₇)₃Cl₂:0.03Eu²⁺ phosphor shows a strong and broad emission centering at 515 nm, which is attributed to the 5d→4f transition of Eu²⁺ ion. The mechanism of concentration quenching was determined to be the dipole–dipole interaction and the critical energy-transfer distance of Eu²⁺ was calculated as 3.31 nm. The CIE chromaticity coordinates of Ca₆Sr_3.96(Si₂O₇)₃Cl₂:0.03Eu²⁺ phosphor are (0.127, 0.770) according to the emission spectrum. It can be expected that Ca₆Sr₄(Si₂O₇)₃Cl₂:Eu²⁺ phosphor is a promising candidate as the green component for near-ultraviolet InGaN-based white LED.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of hexagonal BaZnSiO4:Eu2+ phosphor

A green-emitting phosphor of hexagonal BaZnSiO₄:Eu²⁺ was prepared by a combustion-assisted synthesis method and an efficient green emission from ultraviolet to visible light was observed. The luminescence and crystallinity were investigated by using luminescence spectrometry and X-ray diffractometry. In the hexagonal structure of BaZnSiO₄:Eu²⁺ phosphor, Eu²⁺ ions occupy three different lattice sites by substitution for Ba²⁺ ions. Eu²⁺ ions on Ba (1) and Ba (2) sites gave emissions at about 505 nm while Eu²⁺ ions on Ba (3) sites showed an emission band at 403 nm. The excitation spectrum is a broad band extending from 260 to 465 nm, which matches the emission of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes. The critical quenching concentration of Eu²⁺ in BaZnSiO₄:Eu²⁺ phosphor is about 0.05 mol. The value of the critical transfer distance is calculated as 10.97 Å. The corresponding concentration quenching mechanism is verified to be the electric multipole–multipole interaction. The CIE coordinates of the optimized sample $\mathrm{Ba}_{0.95}\mathrm{ZnSiO}_{4}{:}\mathrm{Eu}_{0.05}^{2+}$ were calculated as (x,y)=(0.172,0.463).

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 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.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of red long-lasting phosphor Y2O2S:Eu3+, Zn2+, Ti4+ nanotubes via hydrothermal method

Red long-lasting phosphor Y₂O₂S:Eu³⁺, Zn²⁺, Ti⁴⁺ nanotubes were prepared by hydrothermal method. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra (TL) were used to characterize the long-lasting phosphor.

SEM observation showed that the sulfuretted phosphor inherited the tube-like shape from the precursor. Under 325 nm UV excitation, the result indicated the strongest red-emission lines at 627 nm, corresponded to the transition from ⁵D₀ to ⁷F₂ level of Eu³⁺ ion. Both the afterglow decay curves and TL curves revealed that the phosphor had efficient luminescent and excellent long-lasting properties.

Luminescence properties and energy transfer in Eu2+, Mn2+ codoped Na(Sr,Ba)PO4 phosphor

Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ singly doped and codoped Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄ phosphors were synthesized, and their luminescent properties were investigated. A broad blue emission and a broad orange emission band were observed in Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄:Eu²⁺, Mn²⁺ phosphor. The resonant-type energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ was demonstrated, and the energy transfer efficiency was also calculated according to their emission spectra. Based on the principle of energy transfer, the emission intensity ration of Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ could be appropriately tuned by adjusting the contents of activators. Due to the strong absorption in the 250–400 nm range, Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄:Eu²⁺, Mn²⁺ phosphor could be used as a potential candidate for near-UV white light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Dose effects on the long persistent luminescence properties of beta irradiated SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor

The SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ is a phosphor characterized by a long persistent luminescence (PLUM) when it is excited with UV–VIS light and ionizing radiation. In this paper, we study the PLUM behavior as a function of beta irradiation dose in the 0–650 Gy range with a fixed dose rate of 5 Gy/min. The PLUM intensity showed a complex decay behavior, exhibiting a near linear response in the 0–1.7 Gy low dose range and gradually increasing up to 160 Gy. The PLUM reached the saturation for higher doses (>275 Gy) with a slight decrease in the range of 300–650 Gy. In addition, a systematic PLUM enhancement was produced after a thermal cleaning procedure and irradiation at RT in a series of 10 cycles. The observed phenomenon may be related to a radiation-induced process of charge trapping accumulation, which is triggered by thermal stimulation during the irradiation stage. It improves the luminescent characteristics of SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors rendering them suitable for permanent display and illumination devices.     

Preparation and luminescence properties of Eu2+-doped BaSi2O5 glass-ceramics

We report on the preparation of Eu²⁺-doped BaSi₂O₅ glass-ceramics by crystallizing an Eu³⁺-doped barium-silicate glass at temperatures in the range from 750 to 1100 °C. Single phase BaSi₂O₅ glass ceramics can be obtained by thermal annealing at temperatures of about 950 °C. The luminescence intensity of Eu²⁺ increases dramatically if monoclinic BaSi₂O₅ is formed. Monoclinic Eu²⁺:BaSi₂O₅ shows efficient, broad band luminescence between 450 and 550 nm by excitation in the near UV. Annealing at temperatures >1000 °C leads to orthorhombic BaSi₂O₅ with much smaller Eu²⁺ luminescence. Static and time-resolved luminescence measurements indicate that Eu²⁺ ions are incorporated into the BaSi₂O₅ crystallites while Eu³⁺ ions remain in the amorphous phase.
