“…Renowned (oxy)nitrides in which Ce 3+ can extend the absorption band to blue/green include La 3 Si 6 N 11 , Ca‐α‐Sialon, CaAlSiN 3 , SrAlSi 4 N 7 , etc . Generally, the synthesis of (oxy)nitrides/carbides need harsh environment (i.e., high temperature/pressure) while sulfides suffer from hydrolysis degradation. In silicate, aluminate, and oxyhalide hosts, ε c of Ce 3+ becomes smaller and thus a large ε cfs is necessary to enable efficient excitation by violet‐to‐blue light .…”
