Abstract A series of novel single-phase white light-emitting Dy3+ doped Ca9Al(PO4)7 nanophosphors was successfully synthesized at 1100 ˚C via solution combustion route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement analysis of Ca9Dy0.03Al0.97(PO4)7 sample confirmed that this phosphor had a trigonal crystal structure with space group R3c(161). Meanwhile, as-observed from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study; particles of Ca9DyxAl(1−x)(PO4)7 samples were found to have a quadrilateral shape with crystallite sizes around 40–60 nm which were also confirmed by the Debye Scherrer equation. Under near-ultraviolet (NUV) excitation at 350 nm, photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of nanocrystalline Ca9Al(PO4)7: Dy3+ phosphors showed two peaks at 481 nm and 572 nm corresponding to 4F9/2→6H15/2 and 4F9/2→6H13/2 transitions, respectively. The optimum concentration was found to be x = 0.03 mol. The critical energy transfer distance was calculated to be 20 and further Huang analysis concluded the exact mechanism i.e. dipole-dipole interactions responsible for concentration quenching in Ca9DyxAl(1−x)(PO4)7 samples. Furthermore, the Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of Ca9Dy0.03Al0.97(PO4)7 nanophosphor was calculated to be (0.260, 0.297) and this nanophosphor had correlated color temperature (CCT) of 11332 K which is located in a cool white area. Existing results indicate that Ca9Dy0.03Al0.97(PO4)7 nanophosphor may be considered as a favorable candidate in NUV based single-phase cool White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).

NaBa 0.97-x BO 3 0.03 Dy 3+, x Eu 3+(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.09) single-phase white phosphors with tunable correlated color temperature (CCT) were synthesized using a conventional solid state reaction method. The phase structure and luminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were investigated. The Dy 3+, Eu 3+ doped and Dy 3+/ Eu 3+ co-doped NaBaBO 3 phosphors excited by 361 nm show two blue and yellow emissions corresponding to the 4 F 9/2 → 6 H 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 → 6 H 13/2 transitions of Dy 3+ ions and two red emissions due to the 5 D 0 → 4 F J (J = 1, 2) transitions of Eu 3+ ions. Under 361-nm light excitation, the NaBa 0.97-x BO 3 0.03 Dy 3+, x Eu 3+(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.09) phosphors feature a white light emitting property. Through the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity analysis and CCT calculation, the CIE chromaticity coordinates of the emission light are all located in the white region and can be tuned from bluish white light to reddish white light when the Eu 3+ concentration increases, and the CCT values of the obtained samples can vary from 5514.31 K to 8269.42 K. Furthermore, the energy transfer phenomenon from Dy 3+ ions to Eu 3+ ions in Dy 3+/ Eu 3+ co-doped samples was also investigated. The results indicated that, through tuning the Eu 3+ concentration of the NaBaBO 3: Dy 3+/ Eu 3+ phosphors, the NaBaBO 3-based phosphor can act as a potential single-phase white emitting phosphor for the application in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) white light emitting diodes.

Bismuth oxide photocatalysts were synthesized and coated on the front surface of phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes to produce a safe and environmentally benign lighting source. Bismuth oxide photocatalyst powders were synthesized with a spray pyrolysis method at 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C. Using the absorption spectrum in the blue and UV regions of the bismuth oxide photocatalysts, the blue light and UV leakage problems of phosphor-converted white LEDs can be significantly reduced. The experimental results showed that bismuth oxide photocatalyst synthesized at 700°C exhibited the most superior spectrum inhibiting ability. The suppressed ratio reached 52.33% in the blue and UV regions from 360 to 420 nm. Related colorimetric parameters and the photocatalyst decomposition ability of fabricated white-light LEDs were tested. The CIE chromaticity coordinates(x,y)were (0.349, 0.393), and the correlated color temperature was 4991 K. In addition, the coating layer of photocatalyst can act as an air purifier and diffuser to reduce glare. A value of66.2±0.60 ppmv of molecular formaldehyde gas can be decomposed in 120 mins.

Abstract Single-phase CaSr2(PO4)2:Dy3+,Li+ phosphors were prepared using the high-temperature solid-state method in the air. To characterize the luminescence properties of the synthesized phosphors, Powder X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), scanning electron microscopy images (SEM), photoluminescence spectra, and concentration-dependent emission spectra were measured to characterize the luminescence properties of the synthesized phosphors. The results showed that the CaSr2(PO4)2:Dy3+,Li+ phosphors exhibited white luminescence, and the emission spectra of the phosphors consisted of two sharp peaks at ≈486 and ≈578 nm (the most intense one). The optimum concentration of Dy3+ doping was determined to 0.06 mol.%. On the basis of the Dexter's theory, the mechanism of energy transfer between the Dy3+ ions was determined to dipole–dipole interactions. The results of the temperature-dependent luminescence confirmed that the as-prepared phosphors are proved to be promising UV-convertible material capable of white light emitting in UV-LEDs due to its excellent thermal stability and luminescence properties. Luminescence intensity and decay time of the CaSr2(PO4)2:Dy3+,Li+ phosphors were improved remarkably with the addition of charge compensators (Li+ ions), which would promote their applications in white light-emitting diodes based on the near-UV chip.

We have synthesized a Eu2+-activated Sr3MgSi2O8 blue phosphor and (Sr,Ba)2SiO4 yellow phosphor. We fabricated a phosphor-conversion white light emitting diode(LED) using an InGaN chip that emits 400 nm near-ultraviolet(n-UV) light and phosphors that emit in the blue and yellow region. When the white LED was operated at a forward-bias current of 20 mA at room temperature(RT), the color temperature(Tcp), average color rendering(Ra), operating voltage(Vf) and luminous efficacy(ηL) were estimated to be 5800K, 72.08, 3.4V, and 7.61 lm/W, respectively. The commission International de I’Eclarirage(CIE) chromaticity coordinates obtained from the measured spectra remained almost constant during the forward-baias current increase from 0.5 mA to 60 mA.

AbstractInNb1-xPxO4:Eu3+ red phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reaction and their luminescence properties were also studied through photoluminescence spectra. The excitation and emission spectra make it clear that the as-prepared phosphors can be effectively excited by near-ultraviolet (UV) 394 nm light and blue 466 nm light to emit strong red light located at 612 nm, due to the Eu3+ transition of 5D0 → 7F2. The luminescence intensity is dependent on phosphorus content, and it achieves the maximum at x = 0.4. Excessive phosphorus in the phosphors can result in reduction of luminescence intensity owing to concentration quenching.With the increasing content of phosphorus, the phosphors are prone to emit pure red light. This shows that the InNb1.6P0.4O4:0.04Eu3+ phosphor may be a potential candidate as a red component for white light emitting-diodes.
