Abstract
Red-emitting phosphors play a pivotal role in the field of lighting technologies. This study introduces an innovative class of Li6SrEu2Sb2O12 garnet-structured phosphors, distinguished by the resistance to concentration quenching. A comprehensive examination of the crystal structure, electronic configuration, and photoluminescence characteristics has been conducted. Notably, the doping Eu3+ ions and their doping concentrations barely affected the crystal structure and morphology, and the band gap slightly decreased as the doping concentration increased. Interestingly, the obtained samples exhibit an ultra-high color purity, good thermal stability (78.60 % at 423 K), and suitable internal photoluminescence quantum yield (44.18 %). Consequently, a phosphor-converted white LED has been successfully fabricated, which boasts an outstanding correlated color temperature of 3271 K. Beyond conventional application, this research also introduces the concept of innovative flexible-transparent displays harnessing the phosphor film. Overall, this work has synthesized a groundbreaking red-emitting phosphor, poised to enhance traditional lighting sources and potentially pave the way for new applications in the field of advanced optical displays.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
