摘要

In recent years, rare-earth-doped inorganic phosphors have gained significant attention in the field of display technologies. In this study, 0.7 mol% Tb3+ x mol% Eu3+ -activated KAlF4 phosphors were synthesized using the wet chemical method. The crystal structure and phase composition of the obtained phosphors were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) combined with Rietveld refinement. Photoluminescence (PL) studies revealed that, under excitations at 394 nm and 466 nm, Eu3+-doped and Tb3+/Eu3+ co-doped KAlF4 phosphors displayed prominent emissions: an orange peak at 594 nm and a red peak at 614 nm corresponding to the 5D0 → 7F1 and 5D0 → 7F2 transitions of Eu3+, respectively, while Tb3+ doping yielded green emission. Co-doping both ions in the host matrix resulted in photoluminescence with color tunability from green to red. These findings suggest that the synthesized phosphors are promising candidates for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) and display device applications.
