摘要

The phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs) are considered a promising replacement for traditional light sources in the lighting industry. This work employed a high-temperature solid-state reaction to synthesize a novel series of single-component Ca8SrLa(PO4)7:Eu2+,Mn2+ (CSLP:Eu2+,Mn2+) phosphors with tunable emission properties, and the phase and crystal structures of CSLP:Eu2+,Mn2+ were characterized. The Eu2+-activated phosphors are highly responsive to excitation by ultraviolet (UV) light in the 250- to 400- nm range and emit a strong green emission with the peak at about 510 nm. By co-doping Eu2+ and Mn2+ ions into the CSLP matrix, the relative intensities of the green and red emissions, which come from the Eu2+ and Mn2+ respectively, can be adjusted by changing the Mn2+ concentration. The emission color shifts from green to warm white as the Mn2+ concentration increases. By means of decay lifetime measurements and photoluminescence analysis, the energy transfer process from Eu2+ to Mn2+ in the CSLP:Eu2+,Mn2+ compound gas been comprehensively investigated, and it has been demonstrated that the energy transfer is mediated by a dipole–quadrupole mechanism. The CIE coordinates and thermal stability of CSLP:Eu2+,Mn2+ were further studied, and the results suggest that CSLP:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphors hold significant potential for use as UV-convertible phosphors in w-LEDs.
