Preparation and optical properties of Na-β″-Al2O3: Ce3+ phosphors

In order to expand the multi-scene application of rare earth doped luminescent materials in the field of blue light illumination, a series of Ce 3+ doped Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 phosphors were prepared by solid-state method with Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 as matrix. The crystal structure, micro-morphology, optical properties and thermal stability were investigated systematically. The results show that the activated ion Ce 3+ in the prepared Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 : x Ce 3+ phosphor replaces the Al 3+ (CN = 6) lattice in the crystal, and with a outstanding blue light emission. In addition, the thermal stability of Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 : 0.05Ce 3+ phosphor is analyzed by variable temperature spectrum, and its luminescence intensity at 573K can reach 71.55 % at room temperature. Finally, Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 : 0.05Ce 3+ phosphors are packaged with 330 nm n-UV LED chips to obtain high quality blue LED devices. With its high color rendering index (81.60), low color temperature (2886 K) and good color consistency, it provides a theoretical basis for the application of Na-β″-Al 2 O 3 -based phosphors in blue LED devices, and makes it show great application potential in the field of solid-state blue spectral lighting.
