Abstract:
The site occupation engineering of activators in the phosphor directly affects its luminescence properties; thus, revealing the relationship between the site occupation and the activator luminescence is of great significance. In this work, a high efficiency green phosphor Sr8CaLu(PO4)(7): Eu2+ (SCLP: Eu2+) was successfully constructed based on the model of whitlockite beta-Ca-3(PO4)(2) host, and its phase structure, morphology features and optical properties were systemically investigated. The as-prepared SCLP: Eu2+ phosphor had a monoclinic symmetry and a broad green emission from 420 to 730 nm with a quantum yield as high as 77%. The SCLP host offered five types of Sr2+ ions sites for Eu2+ ions occupation; and the PL spectra were divided into three sub-peaks locating at 501 (19960.08 cm(-1)), 527 (18975.33 cm(-1)) and 566 nm (17667.84 cm(-1)), which were proved to the emission of Eu2+ ions at the nine-coordinated Sr(1, 3, 5)O-9, eight-coordinated Sr(2)O-8 and special vacant Sr(4)O-6 sites, respectively. The thermal stability was improved through the package of SiO2, and the activation energy was enhanced from 0.1098 to 0.1457 eV. Eventually, the SCLP: xEu(2+) phosphors were applied in white light-emitting diode, showing high color rendering index (Ra = 94.4 and R9 = 81.7) and moderate correlated color temperature (CCT = 4902 K). This work could help to understand the mechanism behind the site-controlled activator emission and offer some meaningful ideas to design a new whitlockite phosphor with desirable spectral emission for application in high quality lighting source.
