Abstract

M+/Eu3+ (M = Li, Na, K) co-doped CaB2Si2O8 phosphors have been synthesized by a solid-state reaction approach. XRD measurements confirm that the phase purity of the CaB2Si2O8 host is maintained after the introduction of alkali metal ions and Eu3+ ions. The emission intensity of Eu3+ ions is enhanced by a factor of 1.75 and 1.55 with the incorporation of Li+ and Na+ ions, respectively, originating from the charge compensation and improved asymmetry in the crystal field, while the addition of K+ ions to the composition results in a decreased luminescence intensity due to the structural-defect-related quenching. Temperature dependent measurement reveals that the prepared phosphor exhibits excellent thermal stability with 81% at 423 K of the integrated emission intensity at 298 K. A white light-emitting diode (W-LED) device is fabricated based on the synthesized Eu3+ doped CaB2Si2O8 red phosphor modified by Li ions. All these results indicate that the synthesized phosphor is a promising red-emitting material for W-LEDs application.
