AB  - To develop novel luminescent materials for optical temperature measurement, a series of Yb3+- and Er3+-doped Ca3Sc2Si3O12 (CSS) upconversion (UC) phosphors were synthesized by the sol– gel combustion method. The crystal structure, phase purity, and element distribution of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The detailed study of the photoluminescence emission spectra of the samples shows that the addition of Yb3+ can greatly enhance the emission of Er3+ by effective energy transfer. The prepared Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped CSS phosphors exhibit green emission bands near 522 and 555 nm and red emission bands near 658 nm, which correspond to the 2H11/2→4 I15/2, 4S3/2→4 I15/2, and 4F9/2→4 I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. The temperature-dependent behavior of the CSS:0.2Yb3+,0.02Er3+ sample was carefully studied by the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. The results indicate the excellent sensitivity of the sample, with a maximum absolute sensitivity of 0.67% K−1 at 500 K and a relative sensitivity of 1.34% K−1 at 300 K. We demonstrate here that the temperature measurement performance of FIR technology using the CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor is not inferior to that of infrared thermal imaging thermometers. Therefore, CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphors have great potential applications in the field of optical thermometry.

AB  - A facile strategy to modify the surface of K2SiF6:Mn4+ (KSFM) with commercially available hydrophilic hydroquinone (HQ) has been developed and waterproof stability (moisture resistance) of the KSFM has been significantly improved. It has been demonstrated that there are strong interactions between KSFM and HQ on the interface due to the hydrogen bonds of fluorine in KSFM with hydrogen in HQ. The relative luminous intensity of HQ-modified KSFM (denoted as KSFM-HQ) remained 99.7% of its initial value after immersion in water for 336 h, remarkable higher than that of KSFM which remained only 38.0%. It is proposed that the high water resistance of KSFM-HQ is achieved via two possible mechanisms: in situ decomposition of dark brown manganese (owing to the hydrolysis of [MnF6]2−) on the KSFM crystal surface and consequently the formation of a more protective Mn4+-free layer. The process effectively combines the advantages of transparent organic materials (herein HQ) before immersion in water and durable moisture resistance of inorganic materials (herein K2SiF6) on surface after immersion in water. The importance of HQ loading on moisture-sensitive fluoride phosphors has been further confirmed by using HQ-treated K2GeF6:Mn4+ (KGFM) as an additional example. This strategy provides a one-of-a-kind way to the development of water-resistant Mn4+-doped fluoride phosphors with high luminous stability for potential applications in water-borne fluorescent anti-counterfeiting ink and even warm WLEDs operating in high humidity. © 2023

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  - 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.
