Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of color-tunable BaLa2WO7:Eu3+ phosphor

Citric based sol–gel synthesis and luminescence characteristics of CaLa2ZnO5:Eu3+phosphors for blue LED excited white LEDs

“…White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), as an emerging solid state lighting (SSL) source, offers benefits in terms of reliability, energy saving, maintenance and positive environment effects and stands a real chance of replacing the traditional light sources such as incandescent and fluorescent lamps [1][2][3]. Now a days most of the commercial solid-state devices are using nearly monochromatic blue emission from GaN based LEDs to excite yellow-green emission from Ce 3+ -doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce) phosphors.…”

Blue and green emissions with high color purity from nanocrystalline Ca2Gd8Si6O26:Ln (Ln = Tm or Er) phosphors

“…Although the phosphor selection for fluorescent lamps, LEDs and FEDs has been made long ago there is still considerable research activity to improve the chemical stability and to adopt the materials to the production technology for the respective applications [3][4][5][6]. Luminescent materials with very high stability, which is invariable to operating conditions, is required for ongoing miniaturization, working lifetime improvement and spectral stability of fluorescent lamps on the one hand and brightness/contrast improvement in imaging systems on the other hand.…”

Multiwavelength excited novel red-emitting phosphor Eu3+-activated Li2Zn2(MoO4)3

“…However, Y 2 O 2 S:Eu 3+ phosphor has poor absorption in near-UV region where LED chips emission occurs. A good strategy to overcome this problem is to search for a host lattice that can absorb energy efficiently in the near-UV region and transfer the energy to the activator, resulting in emission in the red region (host sensitized emission) [5,6]. Hence, there has been a widespread and growing interest in the discovery or development of novel families of red-emitting phosphors with strong absorption in the near-UV to blue spectral region [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
