Eu3+-Activated Sr3ZnTa2O9 single-component white light phosphors: emission intensity enhancement and color rendering improvement

Abstract

Single-component white light phosphors with a broad and full color spectrum are urgently required to overcome residual problems with commercial phosphors. In this paper, we describe how Eu3+, as the dopant of Sr3ZnTa2O9 (SZT), plays an important role in structural modulation (including structural order–disorder and intrinsic oxygen defects), as demonstrated by electronic structural calculations and systematic experiments. Furthermore, 5D07F2 emission of Eu3+ provides the red component of the emission spectrum and increases the color rendering index of SZT:Eu3+ phosphors. Consequently, the resulting phosphor SZT:10%Eu3+ shows significantly enhanced emission intensity, and its broadband emission covers the entire visible region from 400 nm to 720 nm. A fabricated LED device using a near-ultraviolet 370 nm chip coated with a single-component, the SZT:10%Eu3+ phosphor, shows warm white emission with a high color rendering index (Ra = 82).
