摘要

Eu3+-activated red phosphors are popular for their classic 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) emission characteristics. However, the weak emission of the 5D0 →7F4 transition and the concentration quenching caused by energy migration have become the main obstacles to achieving strong far-red emission. Herein, we report a novel Ba3Sc1-x(BO2)9: xEu3+ phosphor that simultaneously enhances 5D0 → 7F4 emission and suppresses quenching through size confinement and low phonon energy. A Sr2+ → Ba2+ substitution strategy optimizes luminescence, achieving 1.56-fold intensity enhancement and improved quantum efficiency (IQE: 83% → 92%; EQE: 38% → 40%). The improvement mechanism was revealed through the local coordination distortion of Eu3+ and the change of the band gap when Sr and Ba coexist. Structural analysis reveals enhanced thermal stability (423 K: 86% → 97%; 483 K: 78% → 95%) originates from increased lattice rigidity. Abnormal thermal quenching (303–363 K) is white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) device prepared based on Ba2.80Sr0.20Eu(BO2)9 phosphor shows a color temperature of 4532 K and a color rendering index of 91.6. This article also explores three applications of plant growth, latent fingerprint visualization, and anti- counterfeiting QR code. This finding provides a reference for further exploring the design of high concentration quenching and efficient far-red emitting phosphors.
