摘要

Alkali metal ion substitution is an effective strategy to improve the luminescence properties of phosphors. In this work, a series of red-emitting phosphors Na(1-x)Li(x/2)K(x/2)La(0.6)En(0.4)MgWO(6) were prepared by a traditional high temperature solid-state reaction. Their phase structure, microstructure, luminescence properties and potential application in phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs) were investigated in detail. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result revealed the formation of a solid solution when x <= 0.3, which kept monoclinic structure of NaLaMgWO6. Photoluminescence investigation indicated that the partial substitution of Li+/K+ ions for Na+ ions improved largely the red emission of Eu3+. Based on the optimized Na0.7Li0.15K0.15La0.6Eu0.4MgWO6 sample with relatively good thermal stability, a WLED device was fabricated by combining a near-ultraviolet (NUV) chip (similar to 400 nm) with the phosphor mixture of commercial green/blue phosphors and the optimized red phosphor. The results indicated that the optimized red phosphor in this work could be a potential candidate for WLEDs pumped by NUV chips.
