AbstractBlue-emissive nanocrystals (NCs) with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) and excellent stability are essential for lighting and displays. Here, a facile top-down approach (including two steps: thermal annealing and ultrasonic treatment) by using aluminum acetylacetonate (Al(acac)3) as a precursor is adopted to fabricate blue-emissive Al(acac)3 NCs with high PL QY reaching 81.8%, the highest reported value for the aluminum compound-based NCs so far. Additionally, the as-fabricated Al(acac)3 NC solution (in toluene) exhibits high stability under air atmosphere condition, maintaining 61.2% of initial PL QY after 1 year. Furthermore, solution-processed Al(acac)3 NCs/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite film with blue emission is demonstrated. Finally, combinations of the blue-emitting Al(acac)3 NCs/PMMA composite film with red-emitting and green-emitting CuInS2 composite films are realized, resulting in remote ultraviolet-pumped white light-emitting diodes with a high color rendering index of 91. These findings inform new blue-emissive NCs and composite films, potentially paving the way to design new structures of lighting and display devices.

We prepared water-soluble white light-emitting ZnSe/ZnS-2-R-benzothiazole nanocrystals (NCs), R = 2-hydroxy-5-(2,5-dimethyl-thienyl)-phenyl. The penicillamine (Pen) capped ZnSe/ZnS NCs were firstly prepared with high photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QY) of 40%. Then they bond to 2-R-benzothiazole molecules, resulting in white light-emitting ZnSe/ZnS-2-R-benzothiazole NCs with QY of 75% over a 375 to 650 nm range of emission, which can be applied to white light-emitting diodes. The ZnSe/ZnS-2-R-benzothiazole NCs with two emission bands at around 451 and 557 nm were discussed and the possible mechanism of the interaction of ZnSe/ZnS NCs with 2-R-benzothiazole was also proposed.

A series of Ba7B3SiO13Br:Dy3+ phosphors were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method for the first time. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that the samples were pure phase and crystallized in a hexagonal phase with a space group of the P63mc (186). The luminescence spectrum exhibited a strong blue emission band peaked at 478 nm, a strong yellow emission band at 575 nm and a weak emission band at 665 nm, corresponding to the transitions from 4F9/2 to 6H15/2, 6H13/2 and 6H13/2 of Dy3+, respectively. According to the emission spectrum of Ba6.92B3SiO13Br:0.08Dy3+ excited at 349 nm, the chromaticity coordinate was calculated to be (0.317, 0.358) located on the white light region. The concentration quenching mechanism of Dy3+ in Ba7B3SiO13Br was ascribed to the multipolar-multipolar interaction. The current researches suggested that the phosphor can be used as a white phosphor suitable for white light-emitting diodes.

AbstractIn this study, the phosphors (Sr1−x , Znx)0.9(Al2−y , By)O4 doped 10 mol % Eu2+, were prepared by combustion method as the fluorescent material for white light emitting diodes (WLEDs), performing as a light source. The luminescent properties were investigated by changing the combustion temperature, the boron concentration, and the ratio of Sr to Zn. The luminescence, crystallinity and particle morphology were investigated by using a luminescence spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The highest intensity of Sr0.9(Al2−y , By)O4: Eu0.12+ phosphor was achieved when the combustion temperature was 600° and the concentration of B3+ was 8 mol % of the aluminate. A new blue emission was observed when the high Zn concentration (x ⩾ 0.8), and this blue emission disappeared with the Zn concentration became lower than 0.8. The combustion method synthesized phosphor (Sr0.6, Zn0.4)0.9(Al1.92, B0.08)O4: Eu0.12+ showed 3.3 times improved emission intensity compared with that of the Sr0.9(Al1.92, B0.08)O4:Eu0.12+ phosphor under λex = 390 nm.

A series of blue-emitting Mg2Al4Si5O18:Ce3+ phosphors were prepared via the conventional high temperature solid-state reaction method. The phase structure, photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL thermal stability, and fluorescence decay curves of the samples were investigated for the first time. Under excitation at 365 nm, the phosphor exhibited a broad band blue emission with peak at 440 nm, which was ascribed to the 4f → 5d transition of Ce3+, and the color coordinate was (0.1602, 0.0849). When the temperature increased to 150 °C, the luminescence intensity of the Mg2Al4Si5O18:0.06Ce3+ phosphor was 55.73% of the initial value at room temperature. The activation energy ΔE was calculated to be 0.25 eV, which proved the good thermal stability of the sample. The energy transfer critical distance between Ce3+ ions in Mg2Al4Si5O18 host were also calculated. The above results indicate that the Mg2Al4Si5O18:Ce3+ is a promising candidate as a blue-emitting near ultraviolet convertible phosphor for application in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs).
