Synthesis and luminescent properties of novel double perovskite Ca2SrWO6: Eu3+ red phosphor
摘要
A new series of red phosphors, Ca2-xSrWO6: Eu3+(x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5), was synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state technique. The phase composition, crystal structure, luminescent properties, and thermal stability of the synthesized phosphors were examined through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, high-temperature fluorescence spectroscopy, and fluorescence decay lifetime assessments. The findings demonstrate that Ca2-xSrWO6: xEu3+ phosphors may be efficiently stimulated by 395 nm near-ultraviolet light, resulting in pronounced red light emission at 614 nm. The light intensity predominantly arises from the 5D0 → 7F2 transition of Eu3+ at 614 nm. The luminescence intensity of Ca2-xSrWO6: xEu3+ phosphors increases initially followed by a decrease with increasing Eu3+ doping concentration. Concentration quenching occurs at a doping concentration of x = 0.3, and this phenomenon is attributed to electric dipole–electric dipole (d–d) interactions in accordance with Dexter’s theory. Moreover, the fluorescence lifetime decreases progressively with increasing Eu3+ doping concentration. The CIE color coordinates and thermal stability of the Ca1.7SrWO6: 0.3Eu3+ sample were examined. The color coordinates (0.6585, 0.3410) roughly align with the typical red light coordinates (0.670, 0.330). The color purity reached 96.5%, with the luminous intensity at 423 K nearly 75% of that at ambient temperature. The results suggest that Ca2-xSrWO6: xEu3+ is a promising candidate for a new red phosphor in white light-emitting diode (WLED) applications.
