Eu^(2+) and Mn^(2+) co-activated CaAlSiN_(3) red phosphors were produced using the solid-state reaction tech⁃nique in a N2 environment.Excitation spectra,emission spectra,and diffuse reflection spectra were used to study the luminescence characteristics,energy gap,and thermal stability in detail.CaAlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+) exhibits an extended emission band when stimulated with 450 nm blue light,which is caused by the 4f65d to 4f7 transition of Eu^(2+).Similar⁃ly,CaAlSiN_(3)∶Mn^(2+) displays a wide emission band centered at 628 nm,which results from Mn^(2+)’s transition from 4T1(4G) to 6A1(6S).When the ions of Mn^(2+)were combined into CaAlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+),the photoluminescence intensity of Eu^(2+ )was greatly boosted because there was energy transfer and co-emission between Mn^(2+) and Eu^(2+).Beyond that,CaAlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+),Mn^(2+) emerges with splendid thermostability and high quantum efficiency,the quenching temperature surpasses 300℃,and the internal quantum efficiency is determined to be around 84.9%.The white LED was pack⁃aged with a combination of CaAlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+),Mn^(2+),LuAG∶Ce3+ and a blue chip.At a warm white-light corresponding color temperature(3009 K) with CIE coordinates(0.4223,0.3748),the color rendering index Ra has reached 93.2.CaAlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+),Mn^(2+) would have great application potential as a red-emitting phosphor for white LEDs.

Sol-gel method was utilized to synthesize two different series of red silicate phosphors : MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 powder samples doped with Mn2+, conducted the investigation of red long-lasting phosphor: MgSiO3 : Eu2 + , Dy3+, Mn2+ . TGA curves of the gel precursor for two series depicted that the loss of residual organic groups and NO3 groups occurs below 450℃. According to the XRD patterns, the major diffraction peaks of the MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 series are consistent with a proto-enstatite structure (JCPDS No.11-0273) and a forsterite structure (JCPDS No.85-1364) respectively. With the excitation at 415 nm, the red emission band of Mn2+ ions is peaked at 661 nm for MgSiO3:1%(atom fraction) Mn2+ or 644 nm for MgiSiO4: 1 %(atom fraction) Mn2+ . Compared with Mg2SiO4:Mn2+ samples, MgSiO3:Mn2+ samples exhibit higher luminescence intensity and higher quenching concentration. In addition, the two series co-doped with Eu2+ , Dy3+ , Mn2+ were also prepared. Photo-luminescence and afterglow properties of the two co-doped series were analyzed, which show that MgSiO3: Eu2 + , Dy3+ , Mn2+ is more suitable for a red long-lasting phosphor.

A white long-lasting phosphor Y_2O_2S:Tb^(3+), Sm^(3+): an improvement of Y_2O_2S:Tb^(3+)

As an improvement of reported Y2O2S：Tb^3＋, a white-light long-lasting phosphor： Y2O2S：Tb^3＋, Sm^3＋ was prepared by the solid-state reaction. The photo-luminescence spectra showed that the position and shape of Tb^3＋ and Sm^3＋ emissions under UV excitation were similar in this host, which ensured a stable white emission color （daylight standard of IEC） under different excitations. The decay curves of co-doped samples indicated that the decay times of emissions of the two ions were close. The thermo-luminescence measurement suggested that the traps created by the doped Sm^3＋ ions were helpful to postpone the white afterglow of co-doped samples. Therefore, the function of co-doped Sm^3＋ ions was confirmed as improving the white emission colors of samples and acting as new trap centers.

A type of red luminescent Sr3Al2O6：Eu2＋, Dy3＋ phosphor powder is synthesised by sol-gel-combustion processing, with metal nitrates used as the source of metal ions and citric acid as a chelating agent of metal ions. By tracing the formation process of the sol-gel, it is found that it is necessary to reduce the amount of NO3 by dropping ethanol into the solution for forming a stable and homogeneous sol-gel. Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimeter Analysis, x-ray diffractionmeter, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are used to investigate the luminescent properties of the as-synthesised Sr3A1206：Eu2＋, Dy3＋.

The excitation and the emission spectra indicate that the excitation broadband lies mainly in a visible range and the phosphors emit a strong light at 618 nm under the excitation of 472 nm. The afterglow of （Sr0.94Eu0.03Dy0.03）3Al2O6 phosphors sintered at 1250℃ lasts for over 1000 s when the excited source is cut off.

A white long-lasting phosphor Ca2MgSi2O7:Dy3+ was prepared by the solid-state reaction. A strong band peaked at 260 nm was shown in the excitation spectrum of 578 nm emission, which might be attributed to the oxygen deficiency of the host. After irradiated with 254 nm for 4 min, the white afterglow of the sample could be seen for 3 h. Moreover, the depths and frequency factors of trap centers were calculated from the thermo-luminescence curve of the sample, which indicated that the trap centers corresponding to the 414 K band were more helpful to the long-lasting phosphorescence.

It was found that the sintered samples crystallized in a tetragonal crystal system with space group I_(41)/amd(a = b = 0.7119 nm, c = 0.6290 nm). The products presented rod-like morphology with length of 100-150 nm and width of 50-100 nm. A maximum peak at 619 nm(~5D_0 →~7F_2) was observed in emission spectrum of the phosphors. It was also found that co-doping of Bi^(3+)+, P5+and Gd^(3+)ions into YVO_4:Eu^(3+)can not only made the right edge of the excitation band shift to the long-wavelength region, but also increased the emission intensity at 619 nm sharply and decreased the lifetime of fluorescence decay. These results may expand the application scope of the phosphors.

A series of (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 red phosphors have been synthesized by using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction, used to characterize the crystallization process of the phosphor precursors, indicates that the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors had an SrMoO4 structure. The properties of these resulting phosphors have also been characterized by using photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The PL results indicate that all of the (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors exhibit intense red emissions under 275, 395, and 465-nm excitation. The two strongest lines at 395 and 465 nm in the excitation spectra of these phosphors match well with the two popular emissions from near-UV and blue GaN-based light-emitting diodes. Some process parameters for Eu3+ concentration, (C6H8O7)·H2O concentration, and solution pH value were also investigated. For (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 phosphors, there are two maximum emission intensities appearing with x = 0.6 and x = 1.4, respectively. When the molar ratio of citric acid is equal to that of metal cations and the solution pH is almost 4, (SrNa)2-xEux(MoO4)3 shows the strongest emission intensity compared to those under other conditions.

Luminescent properties of Ca_2SiO_4:Eu^(3+) red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu^3＋doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions： the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm （325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm） were assigned to the f-f transitions of Eu^3＋. The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of ^5D0-^7F2. In addition, the effects of the Eu^3＋ content and charge compensators of Li^＋, Na^＋, K^＋, and Cl^- ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.
