Abstract
- Abstract A series of Bi3+ ions activated blue-emitting phosphors Gd 2-x ZnTiO 6 :xBi3+ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.015) were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state procedure. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the host lattice Gd 2 ZnTiO 6 possessed a direct band gap of 3.07 eV which agreed well with the optical band gap of about 3.80 eV obtained from the diffuse reflection spectrum. Moreover, the Gd 2-x ZnTiO 6 :x Bi3+ crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n (# 14) and the representative Gd 1.9925 ZnTiO 6 :0.0075Bi3+ phosphor presents an irregular crystal shape with smooth surface, clear edges and corner. All of them emit bright blue light with the emission peak at 419 nm under 375 nm excitation and the optimum Bi3+ ion doping concentration is 0.0075. In addition, the thermal quenching properties and PL decay test show that the Gd 1.9925 ZnTiO 6 :0.0075Bi3+ possess good thermal stability and an efficient energy transfer between Bi3+ ions. Finally, we explored the application of Gd 1.9925 ZnTiO 6 :0.0075Bi3+ phosphor by fabricating the warm pc-WLED device. Notably, the device presents good luminescence properties with the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) coordinates of (0.4485, 0.4222), a high color rendering index (CRI) of 89.4 and low corresponding color temperature (CCT) of 2956 K under 60 mA current. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Gd 2 ZnTiO 6 :Bi3+ were synthesized as blue-emitting phosphors. • Gd 1.9925 ZnTiO 6 :0.0075Bi3+ possess efficient energy transfer between Bi3+ ions. • The Gd 1.9925 ZnTiO 6 :0.0075Bi3+ based WLED presents excellent luminescence properties.
