| Abstract: | A SrLiAl3N4:Eu2+ (SLA) red phosphor prepared through a high‐pressure solid‐state reaction was coated with an organosilica layer with a thickness of 400–600 nm to improve its water resistance. The observed 4f65d→4f7 transition bands are thought to result from the existence of Eu2+ at two different Sr2+ sites. Luminescence spectra at 10 K revealed two zero‐phonon lines at 15377 (for Eu(Sr1)) and 15780 cm?1 (for Eu(Sr2)). The phosphor exhibited stable red emission under high pressure up to 312 kbar. The configurational coordinate diagram gave a theoretical explanation for the Eu2+/3+ result. The coated samples showed excellent moisture resistance while retaining an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 70 % of their initial EQE after aging for 5 days under harsh conditions. White‐light‐emitting diodes of the SLA red phosphor and a commercial Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ yellow phosphor on a blue InGaN chip showed high color rendition (CRI=89, R9=69) and a low correlated color temperature of 2406 K. |
