The Cr3+-doped near-infrared (NIR) phosphors have been extensively investigated owing to their promising applications in biomedicine, food safety detection, and night vision surveillance. However, achieving broadband (FWHM > 160 nm) NIR emission is still challenging. In this paper, novel Y2Mg2Ga2−xSi2O12:xCr3+ (YMGS:xCr3+, x = 0.005–0.08) phosphors were prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The crystal structure, photoluminescence properties of the phosphor, and the device performance of a pc-LED were researched in detail. When excited at 440 nm, the YMGS:0.04Cr3+ phosphor exhibited broadband emission in the range of 650–1000 nm, peaking at 790 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of up to 180 nm. The wide FWHM of YMGS:Cr3+ is conducive to its extensive application in NIR spectroscopic technology. In addition, the YMGS:0.04Cr3+ phosphor could maintain 70% of the initial emission intensity at 373 K. By combining the commercial blue chip with the YMGS:0.04Cr3+ phosphor, the resulting NIR pc-LED demonstrated a near-infrared output power of 14 mW with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 5% at a drive current of 100 mA. This work provides a broadband emission NIR phosphor option for NIR pc-LED devices.

Graphical The Ca3Sc2Ge3O12:Cr3+ NIR emission garnet phosphor exhibits broadband emission peaking at 817 nm with a FWHM value of 128 nm. The developed phosphor presents balanced comprehensive performance and is suitable for NIR-LED application. The rapid growth in phosphor-converted near-infrared light-emission diodes (NIR-LEDs) has led to the development of NIR emitter with high efficiency, broadband emission and high thermal stability. In this work, an efficient broad NIR emission of Cr 3+ in novel Ca 3 Sc 2 Ge 3 O 12 (CSGO) garnet-based host was developed for the first time, which located at 700 to 1000 nm peaking at 817 nm with a broad bandwidth of ~128 nm. Such a broadband NIR emission originated from the preferential occupancy of Cr 3+ in Sc 3+ sites with weak octahedral field, which was manifested by the luminescence spectrum and decay behaviors. The Cr 3+ -doping concentration was regulated to achieve a good internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 72.1 % and a fantastic thermal stability (at 423 K, sustained approximately 85 % of the initial intensity). The mechanism for concentration and thermal quenching was further investigated. Benefiting from the excellent luminescence features, a prototype NIR-LEDs was assembled via integrating the optimized samples with commercial blue InGaN LED chips, which exhibited a satisfactory photoelectric property and a brilliant performance in night vision. These results demonstrated the as-obtained sample to be a great potential candidate for NIR-LEDs.

Lead-free halide perovskites have drawn considerable interest, owing to their low-toxicity and favorable photophysical characteristics. However, achieving efficient near-infrared (NIR) emission often suffers from a trade-off between the red shift and quantum yield. Herein, we report a synergistic host-dopant strategy in zero-dimensional Cs2-xRbxInBr5·H2O perovskites. Controlled Rb+ alloying induces lattice contraction, which unexpectedly weakens electron–phonon coupling and suppresses nonradiative decay, leading to a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 53.2%. Subsequently Mn2+ doping further passivates defect states, boosting the PLQY to 67.5%. Density functional theory calculations and temperature-dependent spectroscopy elucidate the role of the lattice strain in regulating self-trapped exciton emission. A prototype NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) fabricated from the optimized material demonstrates a promising performance in night-vision imaging and plant growth applications. This work provides a viable design strategy for efficient and stable NIR phosphors via a coupled lattice and defect engineering.

Owing to their environmental friendliness, structural tunability, and ability to emit self-trapped excitons, lead-free halide double perovskites (DPs) have demonstrated significant potential for applications in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors. However, their chemical and thermal stability is generally insufficient. These limitations hinder their practical application in LEDs, as these devices typically generate considerable heat under high operating currents and prolonged usage, particularly in the case of infrared LEDs. In this work, Er 3+ -doped double perovskites (Cs 2 NaYCl 6 and the Cs 2 NaYCl 6 @0.6 KBr composite) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The emission intensity of Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 % Er 3+ @0.6 KBr is five times greater than that of Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 % Er 3+ within the wavelength range of 1400–1600 nm. In the Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :Er 3+ @0.6 KBr composite, the surface defects of Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :Er 3+ were modified by the introduction of KBr, leading to an increase in the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :Er 3+ from 9.5 % to 30.0 %. Under a 150 mA working current, the operating temperatures of the near-infrared (NIR) LED devices based on the Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 %Er 3+ and Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 %Er 3+ @0.6 KBr composite are 53.2 and 47.4 °C, respectively. After working for 2 h, the temperatures of the NIR LEDs based on Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 %Er 3+ and Cs 2 NaYCl 6 :2 %Er 3+ @0.6 KBr were 60.3 °C and 46.0 °C, respectively, under a 100 mA operating current.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has garnered substantial attention owing to its diverse merits and widespread applications. Meanwhile developing phosphors with broadband and efficient NIR emission is still an enormous challenge for constructing NIR light sources. Herein, enhanced and broadened NIR luminescence of Gd2−xAlxGaSbO7 (G2−xAxGSO):y%Cr3+ phosphors can be realized via modifying the crystal field environment of Cr3+ induced by Al3+ → Gd3+ cation substitution. Upon blue light irradiation, G1.4A0.6GSO:4%Cr3+ exhibits a broadband luminescence ranging from 650 to 1000 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 136 nm, excellent thermal stability, and a tiny chromaticity shift. Through incorporating the resulting powders into a blue light-emitting diode (LED) chip, a NIR phosphor-converted (pc) LED with a high output power of 62.99 mW and a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 13.38% was manufactured. The fabricated pc-LED shows application potential in nondestructive food analysis. These findings confirm that the as-synthesized G2−xAxGSO:Cr3+ phosphor is a promising candidate for application in NIR pc-LEDs.

Cr3+-Activated broadband near-infrared (NIR) luminescence materials are attracting much attention as next-generation smart NIR light sources that are widely used in night vision, bioimaging, medical treatment, and many other fields. Herein, a series of Na3GaxAl1−xF6:Cr3+ NIR phosphors with broadband emission and tunable luminescence properties were designed and prepared. The luminescence intensity, peak position and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the materials can be controlled by adjusting the crystal field strength. Furthermore, Na3Ga0.75Al0.25F6:0.35Cr3+ exhibited high luminous efficiency and the emission intensity remained 81% at 423 K compared with the initial value at 298 K. The structural confinement and the electron–phonon coupling (EPC) effect may account for its good thermal stability. Finally, a pc-NIR-LED device with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 6.53% at 350 mA was fabricated by combining the as-prepared NIR phosphor and a blue InGaN chip, and its applications in night vision and medical fields were further investigated. This work will promote the development of NIR phosphors with tunable luminescence properties.

High performance broadband Near-infrared (NIR) phosphors with high efficiency and excellent thermal stability are highly demanded for constructing the next generation of NIR radiation sources. Herein, a broadband NIR emitting fluoride phosphor K 2 NaInF 6 :Cr 3+ peaking at 774 nm with a Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 116 nm (1906 cm −1 ) was demonstrated. A high Internal quantum efficiency (IQE) value of 70.2% can be obtained in the as-synthesized K 2 NaInF 6 :Cr 3+ phosphor. Additionally, benefiting from the relatively weak electron phonon coupling effect, the phosphor also exhibits excellent anti-thermal quenching behavior with the emission intensity at 150 °C retaining 78.3% of that at room temperature. A high power NIR pc-LED with NIR radiant flux of 492.85 mW@1050 mA is obtained by combing the as-synthesized K 2 NaInF 6 :Cr 3+ phosphor and a blue LED chip. Utilizing this high power NIR pc-LED as NIR radiation source, high-resolution human hand veins imaging is realized with the assistance of a NIR camera, which indicates that K 2 NaInF 6 :Cr 3+ phosphor has high potential in biological applications.

Broadband near-infrared (NIR) emission phosphor with combined high external quantum efficiency (EQE, >30%) and excellent thermal stability requires further inquiry. The crystal/band structure analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectra, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation for the Y 2 CaAl 4− x Ga x ZrO 12 garnets yielded a suitable x = 4.0 host for the exploration of the novel Y 2 CaGa 4− y ZrO 12 : y Cr 3+ (YCAGZO:Cr) NIR phosphors. The comprehensive investigation using Rietveld refinement and photoluminescence spectroscopy produced the optimal YCAGZO:Cr ( x = 4.0, y = 0.04) phosphor with wideband NIR emission (center at ∼764 nm, bandwidth ∼137 nm), high EQE= 32.0% (absorption efficiency ∼43.3%), and outstanding thermal stability ( I 423 K / I 298 K =90.0%, Δ E a =0.36 eV). Further, the satisfactory luminescence (NIR output power of 34.78 mW and photoelectric conversion efficiency of 12.42% at 100 mA) and imaging performance of the fabricated pc-NIR-LED using this optimal garnet phosphor prove that this newly developed phosphor is a promising choice for constructing the pc-NIR-LED devices used in scenarios such as food quality detection, noninvasive medical inspection, and night vision.

Broadband near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are considered to be at the forefront of the development of next-generation NIR light sources. However, the performance of NIR pc-LEDs is severely limited due to the narrow band emission, low quantum efficiency, and thermal quenching of NIR-emitting materials. Herein, an efficient and thermally stable broadband NIR LaMgGa11O19:Cr3+,Yb3+ (LMG:Cr3+,Yb3+) phosphor has been successfully designed by [Cr3+–Yb3+] co-doping. The broadband emission phenomenon of LaMgGa11O19:Cr3+ was confirmed to be due to selective lattice occupancy of Cr3+ ions based on the analysis of crystal structures, crystal field calculations, and fluorescence lifetimes. The NIR emission spectra in the range of 1000–1200 nm were enriched by using the highly efficient energy transfer of Cr3+ → Yb3+ ions and the energy transfer mechanism is discussed in detail. The prepared LMG:Cr3+,Yb3+ phosphors exhibit highly efficient ultra-broadband NIR emission from 650 to 1200 nm under 440 nm excitation with high internal and external quantum efficiencies of 94.2%/40.5% and excellent luminescence thermal stability of 89.3%@373 K. A NIR pc-LED prototype was fabricated by combining the optimized phosphor with a commercial 440 nm blue LED chip, providing 84.5 mW NIR output power at a 350 mA driving current. Finally, the potential applications of the phosphor in night vision lighting and non-destructive testing were demonstrated. The results show that this work is expected to provide a new strategy for efficient ultra-broadband NIR phosphor design.

In this study, we present a novel synthesis system for AgInS 2 /ZnS (AIS/ZnS) core/shell quantum dots (QDs) terminated with carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) as a ligand, which has not been previously documented. By varying the Ag/In ratio, we achieved emission wavelengths ranging from 590 to 697 nm, with the maximum photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 33.1 %. The synthesized AIS/ZnS QDs powder was mixed with YAG phosphor and combined with a blue gallium nitride (GaN) chip to produce a warm white light-emitting diode (WLED), resulting in the color rendering index (CRI) increase from 74 to 82 and the correlated color temperature (CCT) decrease from 6486 K to 3873 K. Additionally, the AIS/ZnS QDs powder can be directly utilized with a blue GaN chip to create a near-infrared light-emitting diode (NIR-LED) capable of night vision. By adjusting the concentration of CMC in the AIS/ZnS QDs solution, the material can be directly used for writing and screen printing, or dried to obtain a highly transparent and luminescent flexible composite film. This research demonstrates the significant potential of CMC-ligated AIS/ZnS core/shell QDs in display technologies and flexible device applications.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have sparked ongoing research interest due to their high-performance optoelectronic properties. However, blue-light excitable near-infrared (NIR) emitting MHPs is still inaccessible and the achievement of robust thermal-quenching resistance so far remains a huge challenge. In this work, we report on the synthesis of lead-free all-inorganic Mn 2+ -based perovskite-like single crystals using the designed nonstoichiometric precursor ratio. The special crystal structure endows Mn 2+ with efficient blue light excitation and red emission, which enables the capabilities of a good matching with commercial blue LED chips and an efficient sensitization for Ln 3+ emitters. The incorporations of Yb 3+ , Er 3+ , and Ho 3+ functionalize the CsMnCl 3 single crystals with multiple NIR emissions by virtue of feeding the energy from Mn 2+ to Ln 3+ via multi-channels. Most remarkable is the achievement of the robust thermal-quenching resistance, exhibiting (near-) zero-thermal-quenching and even anti-thermal quenching, of the Ln 3+ NIR emissions above room temperature . Finally, as a proof-of-concept study, a prototype of an NIR-LED device was fabricated. This work not only provides a general strategy to unlock the blue-light excitable NIR emission from f-f transitions of Ln 3+ ions, and a fundamental understanding of the sensitization-activation mechanisms in Ln 3+ -functionalized manganese (Ⅱ)-based perovskite-like phosphor, but also endows the MHPs with optical functionalities for the future high-potential applications, such as NIR phosphor-converted LEDs, and optical telecommunication.
