Abstract

The crystal structure and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Tb³⁺−activated garnet−type Li₇La_3−xZr₂O₁₂ garnet phosphors are reported. As−synthesized Li₇La_3−xZr₂O₁₂:xTb (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) phosphors form a tetragonal crystal structure and emit efficient green light due to the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺. On the other hand, aged Li₇La_3−xZr₂O₁₂:xTb phosphors form mixed tetragonal and cubic crystal structures and contain a small amount of Li₂CO₃. The aged LLZO:xTb phosphors are brownish due to the oxidation of Tb³⁺ to Tb⁴⁺. The Tb⁴⁺ ions act as quenching sites for Tb³⁺ green emission owing to their strong absorption in UV–visible region. The aging significantly degrades emission intensities and color quality due to the presence of Tb⁴⁺ and Li₂CO₃.
