Abstract

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) has generated considerable research interest because of their novel inherent properties and tuneable functionality. In this study, reactive sintering method was used to synthesize HEOs with three different compositions (Ce,RE)O_2-δ·(La,Sm,Y)₂O₃ [RE=Pr], and CeO_2-δ·(RE,La,Sm,Y)₂O₃ [RE=Gd,Dy]. Replacement of Pr cation with Gd or Dy in the synthesized compositions significantly increased the band gap value from 1.8 eV to 3.13 eV and 3.18 eV respectively. The broader band gap improved luminescent properties of bulk ceramic samples. Strong emissions originating from Ce³⁺, Dy³⁺and Sm³⁺ in Dy-containing HEO and from Ce³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Sm³⁺in Gd- containing HEO were observed at multiple wavelengths through entire visible region. Under multi-wavelength excitation, effective regulation of the emission colour was achieved, resulting in enhanced photoluminescence performance. The prepared HEOs, CeO_2-δ·(RE,La,Sm,Y)₂O₃ [RE=Gd,Dy] can be considered as a novel materials for white light application (WLED) with excitation at multiple wavelengths and tuneable emission.
