“…Photoluminescent materials based on rare earth elements have been attractive for novel fluorescent probes, effective spectral converters for solar cells, , used in an anticounterfeiting application, optical sensors for oxygen detection, and used in solid-state lighting, ,− general fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, and white light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs). − W-LEDs are the next-generation light source because of their high luminous efficiency, long lifetime, high thermal stability, , absence of pollution, ,, and low price. , For this reason, W-LEDs are a prospective replacement for conventional light sources. , Nowadays, commercial white LEDs available in the market are produced by combining a blue LED chip with yellow (YAG:Ce 3+ ) phosphors. Regrettably, this combination lacks a red component, rendering it poor quality for indoor lighting due to its high correlated color temperature (CCT > 6000 K) and low color rendering index (CRI, Ra < 80).…”
