“…Among these applications, white lightemitting diodes (w-LEDs) have particularly attracted great interest because of their advantages of long lifetime, low energy consumption, high light output yield, and environmental-friendly characteristics [6]. Nowadays, many inorganic compounds such as molybdates [7,8], tungstates [9,10], vanadates [11,12] and aluminates [13,14] doped with RE 3+ ions were extensively studied due to their broad charge-transfer absorption bands in the near-UV and transferring the absorbed energy to the activator-RE 3+ ions.…”
