Co-doping activators can optimize the visible light emission of Y4GeO8 polycrystalline materials, with a doping concentration of Bi3+ reaching up to 6.25%. Under ultraviolet excitation, Y4GeO8:Bi3+,Eu3+ phosphors exhibit tunable emission, especially the sample Y4GeO8:0.25Bi(3+),0.65Eu(3+) shows excellent red emission performance.
Co-doping activators is an effective way to obtain flexible light source by manipulating the energy transfer between dopants. Herein, heavily Bi3+,Eu3+ co-doped Y4GeO8 polycrystalline with tuned visible photoluminescence were prepared by using solid-state reaction method. Systematical characterizations on crystal structure and optical properties were conducted via X-ray diffraction patterns, fluorescence spectra, fluorescence decay curves, temperature-dependent spectra and quantum efficiency. Results show that the doping concentration of Bi3+ reaches up to 6.25%. Under ultraviolet excitation, a tunable emission covering green, yellow and red region of visible light was observed on account of the co-absorption and Bi3+-> Eu3+ energy transfer. Especially, the sample Y4GeO8:0.25Bi(3+),0.65Eu(3+) presents excellent red emission with external quantum efficiency of 37.4% and quenching temperature of 443 K. Our results reveal that Y4GeO8:Bi3+,Eu3+ phosphors could be promising candidates for white light emitting diodes under ultraviolet excitation.
