Abstract

A novel green-emitting phosphor Eu²⁺-doped Ca ₁₅(PO₄)₂(SiO₄)₆ with a structure derivative of α′-Ca₂SiO₄ is synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The photoluminescence properties, the concentration quenching of Eu²⁺ ion, and the thermal stability are investigated. The Ca₁₅(PO₄) ₂(SiO₄)₆:Eu²⁺ phosphor is excited efficiently at a wavelength of 330 nm. At the optimum doping concentration of 0.5 mol% Eu²⁺ ion, the Ca₁₅(PO₄) ₂(SiO₄)₆:Eu²⁺ phosphor has the strongest emission intensity at 491 nm. The main mechanism of concentration quenching is found to be the rapid migration of excitation between the excited Eu²⁺ ions by exchange coupling. The thermal activation energy barrier is confirmed as 0.244 eV. Furthermore, the performance of this phosphor is tested by the fabrication of a phosphor-converted LED (pc-LED) through the integration of an InGaN-based near-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) and driving under from 50 mA to 300 mA. The pc-LED reveals high color rendering index (CRI) value over 50, which is good for applications in w-LED.
