The study systematically screened multi-doped CLAB samples, developed phosphors with tuning emission and high color purity, and established a kinetic model of energy transfer mechanisms to explain the red emission properties. The results showed that CL(0.8)AB:Ce-0.1(3+),0.1Sm(3+) exhibited high chemical stability and thermal stability.
The important objectives that have been usually ignored regarding the development of white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are the stability, red spectral region deficiency, high correlated color temperature (CCT), and low color-rending index (CRI) that restrict their effectiveness for practical implementation. Herein, we used systematic screening of multi-doped Ca3LuAl3B4O15 (CLAB) samples to evaluate singly and doubly doped down-converting phosphors that exhibit tuning emission and spectrally pure red emission with high color purity at the ultraviolet light excitation and enhanced thermal stability. A comprehensive kinetic model of the energy transfer (ET) mechanism was developed and validated with the extensive experimental data set. Applying this model, we elucidated the ET mechanisms producing a spectrally pure red emission via dipole-dipole interaction. Moreover, CL(0.8)AB:Ce-0.1(3+),0.1Sm(3+) revealed excellent chemical stability under 80% relative humidity and 80 degrees C severe thermal conditions. Interestingly, when the temperature was increased from 300 to 425 K, the intensity of Ce3+ emission was reduced with the production of certain Sm3+ emissions via ET. The WLED containing CL(0.8)AB:(0).Ce-1(3+),0.1Sm(3+) and Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ demonstrated warm white light with a high CRI of 89.8-85.7 and a low CCT equal to 4393-4482 K. These parameters are comparable to that of the commercially available YAG:Ce3+ phosphor combined with a blue LED chip (CCT approximate to 7746 K and CRI approximate to 75).
