Abstract Scope |
The investigation for high luminescence efficiency, thermally stable phosphors is crucial for advancing solid-state lighting technology. While borate-based phosphors are often desired due to their UV transparency, wide bandgaps, and exceptional optical damage thresholds, more thorough understanding of their luminescence tunability is needed. Here, we explore a systematic cation substitution strategy using a novel Ca<sub>4-<i>x</i></sub>Sr<sub><i>x</i></sub>La(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>O:Eu<sup>3+</sup> system for improving photoluminescent properties for white LED applications. By controlling the Sr<sup>2+</sup> substitution at Ca<sup>2+</sup> sites (<i>x</i> = 0.5-2), we obtained single-phase phosphor materials via solution combustion synthesis that altered the structural and optical characteristics. This study finds that the Sr<sup>2+</sup> incorporation reduced the Eu<sup>3+</sup> emission intensity by 30% compared to the host compound. This study presents the relationship between optical and structural properties of a novel borate phosphors and the inherent efficiency and stability challenges of the phosphors for energy-efficient lighting applications. |
