The hues of the LiBaBO3:Ce3+, Eu2+ phosphor varies from blue to white and eventually to yellow-green by properly tuning the Ce3+/Eu2+ ratio. Under UV excitation, white light was generated by coupling blue and yellow-green emission bands attributed to Ce3+ and Eu2+ emissions, respectively. The luminous efficacy of LiBaBO3:1%Ce3+, 2%Eu2+ calculated from the emission spectrum was about 290 lm/W.展开更多
A series of CeB6-doped and CeO_2-doped Ca_(1-x)SiAlN_3:xCe3+(denoted as CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 and CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2, respectively) were synthesized by alloy-nitridation method under high-purity nitrogen atmosphere.

The morphologies, crystal phases, and luminescence properties were investigated in detail.With an increase in the concentration of CeB_6, the unit cell volume of CASN:Ce3+@CeB_6 slightly increases due to the substitution between ions, which leads to a change of micro structure around Ce3+. CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 efficiently emits yellow-orange light with a maximum emission intensity at around 550 nm for the content x of 0.01(being in comparable situation, CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2 is x = 0.04) when excited at460 nm. Compared with CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2, the red emission component of Ce3+ in CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 is much stronger. This is ascribed to energy transfer of intra-Ce3+(within one Ce3+ ion) and inter-Ce3+(between Ce3+ and Ce3+ ions). In addition, the replacements of N3-(0.132 nm for CN = 4) and O^(2-)(0.124 nm for CN = 4) by B^(2-)(0.140 nm for CN = 4), which can lead to a marked expansion of the host lattice and a decrease of the oxidation of samples, are also responsible for the increase of red emission component. Furthermore, CASN:Ce3+@CeB_6 phosphor has an excellent thermal stability because of the partial substitution of Ce-O(Ce-N) bonds by more covalent Ce-B. As a result, the outstanding luminescent properties of CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 phosphor make it practical to use in the single phosphor-coated high-color-rendering power white LED.展开更多

文摘The powder samples of Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(^(3+))white emitting phosphors were prepared via a solid state reaction technique.The Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):Dy^(3+)samples were researched by using the GSAS Rietveld refinement and X-ray diffraction(XRD) methods,and SEM images and elemental maps were recorded.Under 350 nm excitatio n,the emission spectra of Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(3+)samples have two obvious peaks and one weak peak at 484,572 and660 nm,corresponding to the characteristic electron transitions of(^(4)F_(9/2)→ ^(6)H_(15/2),blue),(^(4)F_(9/2)→ ^(6)H_(13/2),yellow) and(^(4)F_(9/2)→ 6 H11/2,red),respectively.The concentration quenching effect,decay lifetime and thermal quenching of the as-synthesized Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):Dy^(3+)samples were researched systematically.The Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):0.02 Dy^(3+)phosphor possesses a good thermal stability,of which the emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 79% of the initial value(273 K).In addition,through the study of the chro maticity coordinates of the Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):0.02 Dy^(3+)phosphor,it is found that it is located in the white region,and the Commission Internationalede L’Eclairage(CIE) chromaticity coordinates are(0.339,0.389),The above results show that Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(3+)phosphors can be excellent candidate material for applications in NUV-excited white LEDs.

文摘Here,we report a series of Bi^(3+)-doped Ba_(2)Y_(1-x)Sc_(x)NbO_(6)(0≤x≤1.0 mol)phosphors by using the traditional high temperature solid-state reaction.To achieve the structural and photoluminescent(PL)information,several experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations were carried out,including X-ray diffraction(XRD),Rietveld refinement,UV-visible diffuse reflectance and PL spectra,temperature dependent PL spectra,and density functional theo retical(DFT)calculations.The XRD results show that the Bi^(3+)-doped Ba_(2)Y_(1-x)Sc_(x)NbO_(6)samples belong to the double-perovskite phase with a cubic space group of Fm3 m,and the diffraction positions shift toward high diffraction angle when the larger Y^(3+)ions are gradually replaced by the smaller Sc^(3+)ions.In addition,the refined XRD findings show that the Bi^(3+)ions tend to substitute the Y^(3+)and Sc^(3+)sites in the Bi^(3+)-doped Ba_(2)Y_(1-x)Sc_(x)NbO_(6)0<x<1.0 mol)solid solutions.The PL spectra show that the emission positions of the solid solution samples tune from446 to 497 nm with the increase of Sc^(3+) content,which can be attributed to the modification of crystal field strength around Bi^(3+)ions.Moreover,there is energy transfer from the Ba_(2)YNbO_(6)host to Bi^(3+)ions,which is dominated by a resonant type via a dipole-quadrupole(d-q)interaction.The Ba_(2)Y_(0.6)Sc_(0.4)NbO_(6):0.02 molBi^(3+)shows the strongest PL intensity under 365 nm excitation,with the best quantum efficiency(QE)of 68%,and it keeps 60%of the room temperature emission intensity when the temperature increases to 150℃,meaning that the Ba_(2)Y_(0.6)Sc_(0.4)NbO_(6):Bi^(3+)features excellent thermal quenching of luminescence.By combining this optimal sample with a commercial red-emitting Sr_(2)Si_(5)N_(8):Eu^(2+)phosphor,and a commercial 365 nm UV LED chip,a white LED device,with the color temperature(CT)of 3678 K,color rendering index(CRI)of 67.9,and CIE coordinates at(0.371,0.376),is achieved.

文摘Carbon dots(CDs),as a kind of carbon nanomaterials,have attracted widespread attention due to their unique structure and excellent optical properties,and they are low-cost,environmentally friendly and biocompatible.However,the development of near-infrared(NIR)emission CDs remains a challenge.In this study,we successfully prepared CDs with a maximum emission of714 nm using citric acid as the carbon source,thiourea and ammonium fluoride as the dopant source,and N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent.The quantum yield(QY)is as high as 22.64%.Interestingly,the prepared CDs self-oxidize in the presence of oxygen,resulting in a blue shift of their emission.Therefore,they can be used to prepare white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)without adding other fluorescent substances.Notably,the work presented herein constitutes the first report of WLEDs preparation from single CDs.

文摘It is well known that cyan-emitting phosphors play a very important role in full-spectrum white LEDs.A large number of cyan-emitting phosphors have been reported in the past few years,however,most of them can only be effectively excited by near-ultraviolet light.There are very few cyan-emitting phosphors that can be intensively excited by blue light(440 and 470 nm).Here,a novel blue-light excitable cyan-emitting phosphor BaLu_(1.95)Ce_(0.05)Al_(2)Ga_(2)SiO_(12)with excellent performance is reported.The cyan phosphor has a cubic structure in space group Ia3^(-)d with a=1.205379(3)nm,which can be easily obtained through a solid-state reaction pathway.The emission peak of the cyan phosphor is located at 500 nm and its internal quantum efficiency is as high as 90.01%when excited at 455 nm at 25℃.The cyan phosphor exhibits superior resistance against thermal quenching of luminescence,and its intensity at 125℃is as strong as 92.14%of the intensity at room temperature.Meanwhile,it also shows an outstanding resistance against water,where its luminescence intensity is hardly changed after being immersed in pure water for 528 h.The white LED lamp prepared by employing the obtained BaLu_(1.95)-Ce_(0.05)Al_(2)Ga_(2)SiO_(12)as cyan phosphor displays remarkable optical properties with CCT=4441 K,Ra=93.7,CRI=90.4 and CIE 1931(x,y)as(x=0.3648,y=0.3752).The experimental results demonstrate that BaLu_(1.95)Ce_(0.05)Al_(2)Ga_(2)SiO_(12)is a promising cyan-emitting phosphor with great application potential in full-spectrum white LEDs.

文摘To date,most current reports on the development and optimization of artificial lighting sources have focused on the energy performance levels and limited color qualities of white light-emitting diodes(LEDs).However,these properties are insufficient in terms of representing all performance levels required when adjusting white LEDs for healthy and smart lighting.Here,we introduce essential and advanced figures of merit pertaining to circadian performance as well as vision performance and color quality.We compare all possible properties of commercialized artificial lighting,daylight and four-package white LEDs which consist of long-wavelength pass dichroic filter(LPDF)-capped,phosphor-converted red,amber and green LEDs(pc-LEDs)and a blue LED.We show that these tunable four-package white LEDs produce a tunable circadian effect for melatonin suppression/secretion,a high color quality for color perception/reproduction,high efficiency for energy savings and tunable figures of merit for the smart LED lighting market.

文摘Ce3+/Eu2+ co-doped LiBaBO3 phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method, and its luminescent character- istics were investigated. The hues of the LiBaBO3:Ce3+, Eu2+ phosphor varies from blue to white and eventually to yellow-green by properly tuning the Ce3+/Eu2+ ratio. Under UV excitation, white light was generated by coupling blue and yellow-green emission bands attributed to Ce3+ and Eu2+ emissions, respectively. The luminous efficacy of LiBaBO3:1%Ce3+, 2%Eu2+ calculated from the emission spectrum was about 290 lm/W.

文摘A series of CeB6-doped and CeO_2-doped Ca_(1-x)SiAlN_3:xCe3+(denoted as CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 and CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2, respectively) were synthesized by alloy-nitridation method under high-purity nitrogen atmosphere. The morphologies, crystal phases, and luminescence properties were investigated in detail.With an increase in the concentration of CeB_6, the unit cell volume of CASN:Ce3+@CeB_6 slightly increases due to the substitution between ions, which leads to a change of micro structure around Ce3+. CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 efficiently emits yellow-orange light with a maximum emission intensity at around 550 nm for the content x of 0.01(being in comparable situation, CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2 is x = 0.04) when excited at460 nm. Compared with CASN:Ce3+@CeO_2, the red emission component of Ce3+ in CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 is much stronger. This is ascribed to energy transfer of intra-Ce3+(within one Ce3+ ion) and inter-Ce3+(between Ce3+ and Ce3+ ions). In addition, the replacements of N3-(0.132 nm for CN = 4) and O^(2-)(0.124 nm for CN = 4) by B^(2-)(0.140 nm for CN = 4), which can lead to a marked expansion of the host lattice and a decrease of the oxidation of samples, are also responsible for the increase of red emission component. Furthermore, CASN:Ce3+@CeB_6 phosphor has an excellent thermal stability because of the partial substitution of Ce-O(Ce-N) bonds by more covalent Ce-B. As a result, the outstanding luminescent properties of CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 phosphor make it practical to use in the single phosphor-coated high-color-rendering power white LED.

文摘Over the past few decades,I-III-VI quantum dots(QDs)have attracted considerable attention due to their large Stokes shifts,good eco-friendliness,and wide tunable emissions.In this work,a facile microwave-assisted aqueous route using glutathione(GSH)and citric acid(CA)as dual stabilizers is introduced to synthesize AgInGaS/ZnS(AIGS/ZnS)core/shell QDs.An exceptional photoluminescence quantum yield(PL QY)as high as 79%is successfully achieved,boosting the best performance of water-dispersible AIGS QDs.By varying the Ag/Ga ratio,the PL peak wavelength can be tuned from 547 to 616 nm,and luminescent hydrogel films with different colors are obtained by embedding AIGS/ZnS QDs in polyacrylamide/poly-vinyl alcohol(PAAm/PVA)hydrogels.The white light-emitting diode(WLED)with a high color rendering index(CRI)of 92.1(R_(9)=92.0)and a correlated color temperature(CCT)of 3022 K is fabricated using QDs-PAAm/PVA hydrogel films in combination with a blue InGaN LED chip,indicating that the as-prepared QDs are competitive color-conversion materials for WLEDs.

文摘Benefiting from the large Stokes shift between fluorescence and phosphorescence,fluorescence/phosphorescence dual-emitting carbon dots(CDs)have gradually entered at the stage of single-phase white light-emitting diodes(WLEDs)as‘green material'.However,most of the developed dual-emitting CDs have weak phosphorescence,short emission wavelength and narrow emission band,resulting in relatively bluish white light emission and low color rendering index(CRI).Herein,an ultrabroad-band fluorescence/phosphorescence dual-emitting CD-based material(UB-CD@BA)is prepared by thermal treatment of boric acid(BA)and CDs with large conjugated structure.The stable covalent bonding between CDs and BA,as well as three-dimensional spatial restriction effect of selfpolymerization BA molecules around CDs during long-term heating efficiently rigidified the single/triplet excited states of CDs from non-radiative deactivation,thus producing strong dual emissive materials with the high phosphorescence quantum yield of 21%.Remarkable,the prepared UB-CD@BA powders exhibit bright pure white light emission with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)coordinates of(0.32,0.33)and the highest reported full width at half maximum of 250 nm.Based on the unique characteristics of UB-CD@BA,it was used as a color conversion layer to prepare a WLED with CIE coordinates of(0.35,0.33)and the CRI value of 87.

文摘A system with uniform light reflection in the inner surface within a horizontal 2/3 cylindrical structure for line-scan CCD of the print testing was designed.The design was based on diffuse reflection uniformity of the integrating sphere and requirement of the strip uniform illumination region.This system was called dome light.White light LED array light sources were used for uniform illumination.The LEDs were filtrated to composite array light source based on coefficient of variation of a single LED.The standard white board and SG color checkers were used in the line-scan CCD imaging experiments under the dome light and ordinary illumination light source.The average color difference(ΔE)of SG color checkers in CIELAB space was 2.091 under the dome light and 2.286 under ordinary illumination light source respectively.Experimental results indicate that the dome light can satisfy illumination uniformity and color rendering consistency for line-scan CCD and provide a standard light source for uniform calibration of different cameras.

文摘Carbon dots(CDs)have been extensively studied owing to their fascinating optical properties and wide potential applications.Here,we report an easy-to-perform and organic-solvent-free synthesis strategy for green-emissive CDs(G-CDs)possessing high photoluminescence(PL)quantum yield(QY).The G-CDs are synthesized by heating the homogeneous precursors of citric acid and cyanamide in an open vessel,circumventing the use of organic solvents,complex operations,high-pressure reactors,and expensive instruments in the synthesis process.The effect of various reaction variables on the formation and the optical properties of G-CDs are systematically investigated.The resultant G-CDs show bright PL emission at 521 nm with PL QY up to 73%.Then a white light-emitting diode(LED)with Commission Internationable de L'Eclairage(CIE)coordinates of(0.33,0.34)and color rendering index(CRI)of 92 is constructed based on G-CDs/thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)composite.Moreover,a visual microfluidic detection platform is designed by using G-CDs as fluorescent probes for rapid quantitative detection of Fe^(3+),Cu^(2+),and Mn^(2+)metal ions,which can realize synchronized testing of multiple samples.This study might promote the development and preparation methods of high-performance CDs with various optical applications.

文摘A precursor of the Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) phosphor was obtained by co-precipitation of the solution of high purity nitrates with ammonium bicarbonate solution. The precipitation process of the precursor was studied in this work. YAG:Ce yellow phosphors with fine morphology was synthesized by annealing the precursor at a reducing atmosphere. The crystal phase, microstructure of the phosphors and their photoluminescence were investigated. The results indicated that the pure phase of YAG:Ce could be obtained at 1673 K annealing temperature. The particles of phosphor were basically spherical in shape with the mean size less than 2 μm. The excitation spectrum showed a broad and strong absorption band at about 460 nm, compatible with the excited wavelength of commercial blue light emitting diode (LED) for white LED lighting. Bright yellow-emission located at 540 nm was observed.

文摘Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+ phosphors with single-phase were successfully synthesized by a gel-combustion method.Annealing atmosphere greatly affected the luminescent properties of the phosphor.The intensity of absorption band at 450 nm was greatly increased with a reducing atmosphere,which was very suitable as a color converter in white LED.The absorption at 243 and 311 nm was gradually enhanced with a stronger reducing atmosphere and a new absorption peak at 362 nm appeared in N2+H2 mixing gas.The emission intensity also increased when using reducing atmosphere.Meanwhile,the emission peaks slightly moved to the longer wavelength in reducing atmosphere.A white LED with higher color rending index and lower color temperature was obtained by putting our improved product Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+ green phosphor and Sr2Si5N8:Eu red phosphor onto a blue LED.

文摘Mn^(2+)doped LuAG phosphors with different contents of Si^(4+)ions were synthesized via the solid-state reaction method and the effects of Si^(4+)doping on the crystal structure and luminescence properties of phosphors were studied.XRD patterns of all phosphors exhibit a pure phase but with different extents of deviations.Owing to the 4 T1→6 A1 transition of Mn^(2+),the LuAG:Mn^(2+),Si^(4+)phosphors exhibit a broad emission band with an emission peak at 582 nm.Moreover,the introduction of Si^(4+)not only improves the emission intensity but also induces a red-shift with the emission peak from 582 to 612 nm and the spectra broadening with the full width at half maximum value from 64 to 74 nm,which results from the decrease of bond length between O2-anions and Mn^(2+)cations and the re-absorption of Mn^(2+)-Mn^(2+)pairs.Suitable content of Si^(4+)replacement can weaken thermal quenching of Mn^(2+).Thus,via regulating the content of Si,the Mn^(2+),Si^(4+)co-doped LuAG phosphor with low correlated color temperature is a candidate for warm wLEDs.

文摘Wide color gamut(WCG) backlight for liquid crystal display(LCD) utilizing white light-emitting diodes(LED) has attracted considerable attention for their high efficiency and color reduction.In this review,recent developments in crystal structure,luminescence and applications of phosphors for wide color gamut LED backlight are introduced.As novel red phosphors,Mn4+activate fluoride and aluminate phosphors are advanced in quantum efficiency,thermal quenching and color saturation for their characteristic spectrum with broad excitation band and linear emission.The crystal structure and fluorescence properties of Mn4+doped fluosilicate,fluorogermanate,fluotitanate,as well as Sr4 Al14O25,CaAl12O19 and BaMgAl10O17 phosphors are discussed in detail.A serial of narrow-band red-emitting Eu2+,Eu3+and Pr3+-doped nitride silicates and molybdate phosphors are also introduced.Rare-earth-doped oxynitride and silicate green-emitting phosphors have attracted more and more attention because of the wide excitation,narrow emission,high quenching temperature,high quantum efficiency,such as β-sialon:Eu2+,Ba3Si6O12N2:Eu2+,MSi2O2N2:Eu2+(M=Ca,Sr,Ba),y-AlON:Mn2+and Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+.All above phosphors demonstrate their adaptability in wide color gamut LCD display.Especially for Mn4+doped fluosilicate red phosphor and β-sialon:Eu2+green phosphor.To achieve an ultra-high color gamut in white LED backlight and against the OLED,innovative narrow-band-emission red and green phosphor materials with independent intellectual property rights are continuously pursed.

文摘CaMoO_(4):Eu^(3+)and CaMoO_(4):Eu^(3+),A+(A=Li,Na,K)phosphors for light-emitting diode(LED)applications have been prepared by microwave sintering method(MSM),and their structure and luminescence properties are investigated.The influences of microwave reaction time and concentration of different kinds of charge compensation A+and Eu^(3+)on luminescence have also been discussed.The samples emit a red luminescence at 615 nm attributed to the^(5)D0→^(7)F2 transition of Eu^(3+)under 464 nm excitation.It is observed that adding charge compensation A+in the sample synthesis increases luminescence intensity.The optimized sample made with 32 mol%Li+and 32 mol%Eu^(3+)has an enhancement factor of 4 in photoluminescence compared to the sample made without charge compensation.The CIE(Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage)coordinates of Ca0.36MoO_(4):0.32Eu^(3+),0.32Li+are x=0.661 and y=0.339,which indicate that the obtained phosphor can be a promising red color candidate for white LED fabrications.
