It shows a broad excitation band extending from 250 to 520 nm and an asymmetric emission band with a main peak at about 550 nm. The emission intensity of the SrSi202N2:Eu2+ is about 1.2 times higher than the commercial yellow phosphor YAG:Ce3+ (P46-Y3). The temperature- dependent luminescence characteristic of SrSi202N2:Eu2+ has been investigated in this paper. With increasing temperature, the emission band of SrSi202N2:Eu2+ shows anomalous blue-shift along with decreasing emission intensity and the broadening full width at half maximum (FWHM). Particularly, compared with YAG:Ce3+ (P46-Y3), the yellow SrSi202N2:Eu2+ phosphors exhibit higher thermal stability due to their weaker electron-phonon coupling strength (1.1), lower stokes shift (0.0576 eV) and larger activation energy (0.288 eV). All these results indicate that SrSi202N2:Eu2+ yellow phosphors have potential application for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), What's more, an energy level scheme is constructed to explain the anomalous blue-shift phenomenon.展开更多

However, research on the synthesis of multicolor solid-state fluorescence(SSF) CDs(from blue to red) is rarely reported. Herein, we used o-phenylenediamine, mphenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine with dithiosalicylic acid(DTSA) in the solvothermal reaction using acetic acid as a solvent to obtain aggregation-induced emissive(AIE) CDs of red(620 nm), green(520 nm), and blue(478 nm), respectively. XPS spectra and TEM image show that with the red-shift of luminescence, the particle size and content of C=O of the CDs gradually increases. Finally, based on the non-matrix solid-state multicolor luminescence characteristics of CDs, the application of white light LED devices is realized. Besides, based on the fat-soluble properties of CDs, fingerprint detection applications are realized.展开更多
