- Abstract
The blue-emitting KBaYSi 2 O 7 :Bi3+ phosphor was prepared via the high-temperature solid-phase method, and the structural Si4+ was partially substituted by Al3+ and Ge4+ to improve its luminescence properties. A blue emission peak of the KBaYSi 2 O 7 :Bi3+ phosphor appears at 418 nm under an excitation of 370 nm, which is attributed to the 3P 1 →1S 0 electron transition of Bi3+. The luminescence intensity (λ em = 418 nm) of KBaYSi 1.94 Al 0.06 O 7 :0.03Bi3+ and KBaYSi 1.96 Ge 0.04 O 7 :0.03Bi3+ was 1.81 and 1.94 times that of KBaYSi 2 O 7 :0.03Bi3+, respectively. The luminescence intensity of phosphors at 423 K remained at 62.5 % (KBaYSi 1.94 Al 0.06 O 7 :0.03Bi3+) and 65.7 % (KBaYSi 1.96 Ge 0.04 O 7 :0.03Bi3+) of the initial values (at 303 K), respectively. The actual w -LEDs were fabricated with these blue-emitting phosphors, emitting a warm and bright white light. Therefore, the KBaYSi 2-x Al x O 7 :0.03Bi3+ and KBaYSi 2-y Ge y O 7 :0.03Bi3+ blue-emitting phosphors with excellent luminescence performance can be potential applied in w -LEDs and display fields. • Al3+ and Ge4+ substituted KBaYSi 2 O 7 :Bi3+ was first prepared for excellent blue emission. • The luminescence intensity of KBaYSi 2 O 7 :Bi3+ was enhanced by 1.81 and 1.94 times by Al3+ and Ge4+ substitution. • The combined w -LEDs with KBaYSi 2-x Al x O 7 :Bi3+ and KBaYSi 2-y Ge y O 7 :Bi3+emit a warm and bright white light.
