Abstract
A blue-red dual-emitting phosphor, Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Eu2+, Mn2+ was developed in this study. Eu2+ acts as a sensitizer ion in Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Mn2+, which significantly improves the undesirable luminous efficiency of Mn2+. The energy transfer between Eu2+ and Mn2+ significantly boosts both internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the phosphor, achieving values of 72.5% and 42.6%, respectively. Additionally, the phosphor demonstrates exceptional thermal stability, at 150 °C, maintaining 71.49% of its initial emission intensity. The emission spectrum of the phosphor closely matches the chlorophyll's absorption spectra, with similarities of 75.06% and 94.52%, respectively. This was further confirmed through a fabricated LED with a n-UV chip (395 nm). To further assess the potential for agritech applications, a light-conversion film incorporating the developed phosphor in PDMS glue was prepared. An outdoor cultivation trial with Chlorella showed that the algae's growth rate improves by 27.3% relative to a control group. These results reveal the significant potential of the Na3KMg7(PO4)6: Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphor for enhancing plant growth in practical applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.
The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
