Mn4+ co-doped double perovskite CaSrLaSbO6: Bi3+ phosphors with multiple luminescent centers for optical temperature sensing and indoor plant cultivation films

The high-temperature solid-state method synthesized novel double perovskite CaSrLaSbO 6 : Bi 3+ , Mn 4+ phosphors. Its crystal structure, luminescence properties, crystal field strength, energy transfer process, and temperature-sensitive properties were comprehensively investigated. The band gap values of CaSrLaSbO 6 were calculated using density functional theory. In the CaSrLaSbO 6 host, Bi 3+ exhibits multiple emission properties in the violet, blue, and NIR regions due to the 3 P 1 → 1 S 0 transition, while the red emission is due to the 2 E g → 4 A 2g transition of Mn 4+ . Light-converting films fabricated using CaSrLaSbO 6 :Bi 3+ , Mn 4+ under 302 nm UV excitation with multiple emissions showed significant plant growth promotion. In addition, the optical temperature-dependent response of CaSrLaSbO 6 : Bi 3+ , Mn 4+ was analyzed using the luminescence intensity ratio technique, and the relative sensitivity of the best samples reached 2.1 % K −1 . The above results indicate that CaSrLaSbO 6 : Bi 3+ , Mn 4+ provides almost all the light sources necessary for plant growth and can be applied in the field of optical temperature sensors, which shows that this multifunctional phosphor has great potential for application.
