Structure regulation of transition metal ion-activated double perovskite phosphors: performance optimization of Sr2YZr0.5W0.5O6:Mn4+
摘要
For most Mn4+-aliovalent-doped A2BB’O6 phosphors, defects formed during doping act as non-radiative quenching centers, strengthening phonon-electron interactions and promoting non-radiative transitions. This study focuses on Mn4+-activated double perovskite luminescent materials via isovalent doping. Equimolar Zr4+ and W6+ fully replace pentavalent B’ sites in Sr2YB’O6, creating isovalent doping sites for Mn4⁺. Results show the as-synthesized Sr2YZr0.5W0.5O6:Mn4+ (SYZW:Mn4+) has an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 57.6%, and it retains 82% of its room-temperature emission intensity at 423 K. Quantitative analysis verifies that nonradiative energy transfer in SYZW:Mn4+ is dominated by dipole–dipole interaction, and the thermal quenching activation energy is determined to be 0.448 eV. In plant growth lighting tests, the high-efficiency SYZW:Mn4+ phosphor effectively supplements 688 nm red light for plant photosynthesis. This work enhances the performance of Mn4+-activated double perovskite red phosphors through composition optimization, providing an effective modification strategy for designing similar material systems.
