A broadband cyan Na-β"-Al2O3: Eu2+, Ce3+ phosphor based on Eu2+ double-site occupancy for WLED

Na-β"-Al 2 O 3 matrix materials, featuring a stable layered structure and Na + ions double sites, are promising as host materials for luminescent applications. In this work, a series of broadband Na-β"-Al 2 O 3 : x Eu 2+ , 0.08Ce 3+ cyan phosphors were designed and synthesized. Based on the ability of Eu 2+ to occupy two Na + sites in the Na-β"-Al 2 O 3 matrix, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra displayed dual-peak emissions centered at 470 and 500 nm, with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 140 nm. The Na-β"-Al 2 O 3 : Eu 2+ , Ce 3+ phosphors have excellent thermal stability (95.1 %@448 K). Finally, the fabricated white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.35) and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 6015 K, indicating their potential for application in full-spectrum WLEDs.
