摘要

In this present work single-phase blue white emitting CdWO4:Dy3+ phosphors have been synthesized in different solvents using hydrothermal/solvothermal method at a temperature as low as 150 ˚C for 5 h. The use of different synthetic solvent has drastic effect on crystallinity, particle size, morphology, band gap, and photoluminescence properties. Under 285 nm UV light irradiation, the synthesized phosphors produced blue-white light emission due to the partial energy transfer from the host CdWO4 to the dopant Dy3+. The excitation and emission intensities decrease with the reduction of crystallinity, likely due to increased in the concentration of defects that act as recombination centre for photo-excited electron and hole. The study of CIE and CCT revealed cool-white light emission with CCT exceeding 10,000 K. It is believed that the synthesized phosphors can have potential application for indoor lighting.
