Abstract
Exploiting red emission phosphors with high luminescent performance remains a challenge for improving phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Herein, a series of Ba2LaTaO6: xEu3+ (BLTO: xEu3+) phosphors were fabricated by a high-temperature solid-phase method. The ultraviolet diffuse reflectance results suggest that the energy gap of BLTO: 13%Eu3+ phosphor is 4.02 eV. All of the obtained samples have the strongest emission peak at 594 nm instead of the common 617 nm, which may be due to the high overall symmetry of BLTO lattice. The optimal doping concentration of BLTO: xEu3+ is 13%, and the concentration quenching mechanism is related to the dipole-quadrupole interaction. Through the temperature-related emission spectra, it can be known that the Ba2LaTaO6: 13%Eu3+ phosphor has good thermal stability with an activated energy of 0.245 eV. In addition, the color coordinates, CCT, and CRI of the manufactured WLEDs with BLTO: Eu3+ phosphors are (0.3728, 0.3577), 4066 K, and 85.18 under a driving current of 20 mA, respectively, indicating that the encapsulated WLEDs are suitable for indoor lighting.
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.
