A series of CeB6-doped and CeO2-doped Ca1-xSiAlN3:xCe3+(denoted as CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 and CASN:Ce3+@CeO2, respectively) were synthesized by alloy-nitridation method under high-purity nitrogen atmosphere.

The morphologies, crystal phases, and luminescence properties were investigated in detail.With an increase in the concentration of CeB6, the unit cell volume of CASN:Ce3+@CeB6slightly increases due to the substitution between ions, which leads to a change of micro structure around Ce3+. CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 efficiently emits yellow-orange light with a maximum emission intensity at around 550 nm for the content x of 0.01(being in comparable situation, CASN:Ce3+@CeO2is x = 0.04) when excited at460 nm. Compared with CASN:Ce3+@CeO2, the red emission component of Ce3+ in CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 is much stronger. This is ascribed to energy transfer of intra-Ce3+(within one Ce3+ ion) and inter-Ce3+(between Ce3+ and Ce3+ ions). In addition, the replacements of N3-(0.132 nm for CN = 4) and O2-(0.124 nm for CN = 4) by B2-(0.140 nm for CN = 4), which can lead to a marked expansion of the host lattice and a decrease of the oxidation of samples, are also responsible for the increase of red emission component. Furthermore, CASN:Ce3+@CeB6phosphor has an excellent thermal stability because of the partial substitution of Ce-O(Ce-N) bonds by more covalent Ce-B. As a result, the outstanding luminescent properties of CASN:Ce3+@CeB6 phosphor make it practical to use in the single phosphor-coated high-color-rendering power white LED.展开更多
