摘要

As the world evolves, the demand for efficient lighting sources is rising rapidly, and to cater to the burgeoning demand for swift expansion, technological advancement in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and lighting materials is crucial. In this work, the photoluminescence of La2O3 single-doped (Tm, Ho, Eu), double-doped and triple-doped phosphors prepared by combustion synthesis was studied. XRD confirms hexagonal phase (-P6c2c) with lattice contraction on doping, supported by Rietveld refinement, while SEM shows agglomerated particles (~ 12 µm) and FTIR confirms La–O bonding. Under UV excitation, Tm3⁺, Ho3⁺ , and Eu3⁺ give blue, green, and orange-red emission, respectively; in Ho3⁺ doped samples, the small 5F₄–5S2 gap (~ 200 cm⁻1) compared to host phonon energy (~ 400 cm⁻1) leads to merged emission. Efficient energy transfer (Tm → Ho, Ho → Eu, Tm → Eu) is observed in co-doped and tri-doped systems, with La2O3:Tm/Ho/Eu phosphor showing a strong red component. These results suggest La2O3—based phosphors are promising candidates for WLEDs, barcode security, and multicolour LED applications.
