To incorporate the UV-emitting phosphors into the commercial YAG-based white light-emitting diode introduces the possibilities of healthy illumination to individuals' daily lives. 1 mol.% E3*-doped BaGd2ZnO5(BGZ) particles were synthesized via sol-gel method and efficient up-converted luminescence peaked at 380 nm was detected under 480 nm excitation. The mixed phosphors with varied mass ratio of Er3+:BGZ and Ce3+:YAG particles were encapsulated to form LEDs. The study of the LEDs indicated that the introduction of BGZ component favored the enhancement of color-rendering index and the neutralization of the white light emitting. The WLED with the BGZ/YAG ratio of 8:2 was recommendable for its excellent overall white light luminous performances and UV intensity of 84.55 mW/cm2. The UV illumination dose of the WLEDs with mixed YAG and BGZ was controllable by adjusting the ratio, the illumination distance and the illumination time. Er3+:BGZ phosphors are promising UV- emitting phosphors for healthy indoor illumination.展开更多
