Abstract
Red phosphors with good luminescent properties have attracted widespread attention because they can satisfy the lighting requirement of white LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) preferably. K2ZnP2O7: Eu3+ powder with a stable structure was successfully synthesized via the high-temperature solid-state method, involving a two-step process: pre-sintering at 450 °C for 12 h followed by sintering at 650 °C for 8 h. Under the excitation of 394 nm near ultraviolet light, the phosphor produces bright red emission. The highest emission peak of the K2Zn(1–1.5x)P2O7: xEu3+ (x = 0.1) phosphor is located at 595 nm (5D0 → 7F1), followed by the red emission peak at 612 nm (5D0 → 7F2). When the temperature reaches 150 °C, the emission integral intensity of K2ZnP2O7: 0.1Eu3+ remains 91.1% of that at room temperature (ΔE = 0.1946 eV), which proves that K2ZnP2O7: Eu3+ has good thermal stability. In addition, the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) coordinates of the white LED packaged by K2ZnP2O7: 0.1Eu3+ are (0.3312,0.3578), and the CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) and CRI (Color Rendering Index) of the LED lamp are 5765 K and 87.6, respectively. This indicates that K2ZnP2O7:Eu3+ is promised as a red-emitting phosphor for white LED excited by near-ultraviolet chips.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
