AB  - Modulation of structural order-disorder transition and structural oxygen defects can provide fundamental insights in the optimization of luminescence performances of phosphors. In this study, the luminescence of Ba3ZnTa2O9(BZT) was systematically elucidated, including the emission arising from the charge transfer (Nb5+/Ta5+ O2-) and anti-site oxygen defect emission due to the B-site disordering (defect type: [2ZnNb3-+ 3Vo2+]), as corroborated by the electronic structural calculations and detailed experiments. We present a two-step design for the optimization of luminescence properties of Ba3ZnTa2O9phosphor. In the first step, the B-site equivalent doping (Ta5+substituted by Nb5+) was used to modulate the B-site atomic arrangement, which induced the formation of the cubic phase with B-site full disordering. In the second step, the A-site nonequivalent doping (Ba2+substituted by Eu3+) was used to decrease the oxygen defect concentration. After the two-step optimization, the photoluminescence excitation spectrum of Ba3-yEuyZnNb2O9(y= 0.1) shows a broad band excitation (300-400 nm), which is a good match with the near-UV LED chip emission. Even more importantly, the emission spectrum covers the entire visible spectral region and exhibits a remarkably enhanced emission intensity (a 40 times enhancement when compared to that of the intrinsic BZT). The fabricated LED device comprising an n-UV chip (= 370 nm) and a single-component Ba3-yEuyZnNb2O9(y= 0.1) phosphor coating emits a warm white light with a low correlated color temperature (CCT = 4813 K) and a good color rendering index (Ra= 82.36).

AB  - Single-component white light phosphors with a broad and full color spectrum are urgently required to overcome residual problems with commercial phosphors. In this paper, we describe how Eu3+, as the dopant of Sr3ZnTa2O9 (SZT), plays an important role in structural modulation (including structural order-disorder and intrinsic oxygen defects), as demonstrated by electronic structural calculations and systematic experiments. Furthermore, D-5(0) F-7(2) emission of Eu3+ provides the red component of the emission spectrum and increases the color rendering index of SZT:Eu3+ phosphors. Consequently, the resulting phosphor SZT:10%Eu3+ shows significantly enhanced emission intensity, and its broadband emission covers the entire visible region from 400 nm to 720 nm. A fabricated LED device using a near-ultraviolet 370 nm chip coated with a single-component, the SZT:10%Eu3+ phosphor, shows warm white emission with a high color rendering index (R-a = 82).

AB  - The local crystal structure engineering becomes an important strategy to design new phosphors with enhanced optical and thermal performance of white light-emitting diodes. Herein, a series of Na3Sc2(PO4)3: Eu2+ and KyNa2.97-ySc2(PO4)3: 0.03Eu2+ phosphors were synthesized via traditional high temperature solid-state reaction method. X-ray powder diffraction analysis and Rietveld refinement provide insight in the detailed crystal structure. Furthermore, Eu2+ doped Na3Sc2(PO4)3 exhibits bright blue emission in 400–540 nm spectral range with a maximum value at ~ 460 nm under n-UV light excitation. The concentration quenching mechanism of Eu2+ in Na3Sc2(PO4)3 is certified to be a dipole-dipole interaction. Additionally, crystal structure tailoring is a potential strategy to design new phosphors for particular applications. Therefore, the effects of K+ substitution on the structure and photoluminescence of Eu2+ activated Na3Sc2(PO4)3 is presented in detail. Rietveld refinement data revealed that unit cell volume and Na/K–O band length increase when K+ occupy the Na+ sites. This sensitive local structure resulted in a considerable enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity of Eu2+. Incorporation of K+ in the crystal structure is a feasible route to realize fine-tuning of emission color and broaden the color gamut. In the meantime, Na2.7K0.27Sc2(PO4)3: 0.03Eu2+ phosphor exhibits excellent thermal stability at high temperature over a significant radiative recombination of energy transfer from traps to Eu2+. These results confirm that Na2.7K0.27Sc2(PO4)3: 0.03Eu2+ phosphor might be used as a blue component in n-UV chip activated white light-emitting diodes for the next-generation of indoor solid-state lighting applications. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - One of prospective ways for boosting efficiency of luminescent materials is their combination with noble metal nanoparticles. Collective, so-called plasmon, oscillations of surface electrons in a nanoparticle can resonantly interact with incident or fluorescent light and cause an increase in the light absorption cross section or radiative rate for an adjacent emitter. Plasmonic inorganic phosphors require gentle host crystallization at which added noble nanoparticles will not suffer from aggregation or oxidation. The prospective plasmonic Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ phosphor containing core@shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles is prepared here by spare low-temperature annealing of a sol-gel host precursor. It is revealed that Mn4+ luminescence nonmonotonously depends on the size and concentration of 40 and 70 nm silver nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that luminescence of the Mg2TiO4:Mn4+ phosphor can be up to a 1.5 times increase when Mn4+ excitation is supported by localized surface plasmon resonance in Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles. © 2019 American Chemical Society.

AB  - Broad emission with a full and continuous color spectrum realized by crystal engineering is extensively desired to simulate natural sunlight and improve the white color quality. Herein, new insight into the modulation of B site order-disorder and intrinsic oxygen defects for complex perovskite (A(3)BB(2)O(9)) Sr3-xScxZnNb2O9 (0 x 0.1) phosphors is demonstrated for broad-band emission via crystal engineering. We elucidate that the spectrum of Sr3ZnNb2O9 synthesized at an optimal temperature exhibits two emission bands under near-ultraviolet excitation ((ex) = 374 nm) which is readily available from near ultraviolet chips. The two broad emission bands can be ascribed to charge transfer from the empty 4d (t(2g))-orbitals of Nb5+ ions to the filled 2p-orbitals of O2- ions and the intrinsic oxygen defects. Further, as a proposed strategy to optimize the luminescence property of Sr3ZnNb2O9 (SZN), we realized A-site nonequivalent doping to induce B-site disordering and cancel the luminescence quenching which results from B site ordering. The A-site nonequivalent doping efficiently offsets intrinsic oxygen defects, as validated by systematic analyses of experiments and DFT calculations. Consequently, the novel phosphor Sr3-xScxZnNb2O9 (x = 0.1) shows a high color rendering index (R-a = 82.2) and negligible color shift. In addition, its emission intensity is enhanced by approximate to 70 times as compared to the pristine Sr3ZnNb2O9.
