Red and blue emitting phosphor
a b s t r a c t Phosphor-converted white light emitting diodes (white LEDs) have received great attention in recent years since they have several excellent features such as high lumen output, low power consumption, long lifetime and environmentally friendly In this work, we report the co-precipitation synthesis of red/blue
Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ/Eu2þphosphors with various Eu doping concentration The results show that the ob-tained Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ/Eu2þphosphors have good crystallinity and emit strong red (Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ) and blue (Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2þ) emissions under near UV light excitation The sharp emission peaks at 577,
590, 612, 653, and 701 nm corresponded to the typical5D0/7Fj(j¼ 0,1,2,3,4) transitions of Eu3þ, and the blue emission peaking at 460 nm is attributed to the typical 4f65d1-4f7transition of Eu2þin the same
Sr2MgSi2O7host lattice Both phosphors can be well excited in the wavelength range of 260e400 nm where the near UV-LED is well matched The above results suggest that the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ/Eu2þ phosphors are promising red/blue-emitting phosphors for the application in near UV pumped phosphor-converted white LEDs

1 Introduction
Phosphors are widely used in solid-state lighting, especially for
the phosphor-converted light emitting diode (white LED) in which
yellow light-emitting phosphor (such as YAG:Ce3þ) are pumped by
GaN chips to generate white light[1] On the one side, the current
white LEDs show several advantages over incandescent and
fluo-rescent lamps including low operating voltage, low energy
con-sumption, long lifetime… However, on the other side, this kind of
white LED shows relatively low color-rendering index (CRI), and
high color temperature due to lack of a red-light emitting
compo-nent [2,3] So far, one solution to these problems has been to
fabricate a white LED with high color rendering by combining red,
green and blue emitting tricolor phosphors pumped by a near
UV-LED[4,5] Therefore, extensive efforts have been made to develop
new blue and red phosphors with light luminous efficiency, good
color, and high CRI[6]
Recently, the alkaline earth silicates based-phosphors (alker-manite phosphors) have been reported as one of the most essential luminescent materials due to their excellent thermal and chemical stability and high brightness Particularly, Sr2MgSi2O7 is a good candidate for UV-LED application since it has a rigid tetragonal structure and strong absorption band in UV region[7,8] It is well known that Europium (Eu) is the most common rare earth to be used as an activator in phosphors Eu3þion is a preferable activator for red phosphors with sharp emission peaks in the red region (from 570 to 700 nm) caused by the5D0/7Fj(J¼ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions of the trivalent state, while Eu2þis the most frequently used activator in the blue phosphors and its emission usually consist of a broad band due to transitions from the 4f65d to the 4f7 ground state Additionally, Eu2þion can emit light from the UV to the infrared with broad band emitting luminescence on different host matrices since the involved 5d orbital of Eu2þion is external and strongly influenced by the crystal field[9,10]
Until now, the phosphors based on Sr2MgSi2O7host lattice were prepared by different methods such as solid-state reaction, hy-drothermal, solegel methods or combustion processing with ul-trasonic dispersion technique [11e14] Among the various synthesis methods, the co-precipitation method is known to

Trang 2produce phosphor powders with uniform, narrow size distribution,
and homogeneous distribution of the activator ions [15] It is
important to note that in most of the previous research, to
syn-thesis the Sr2MgSi2O7:Euþ2phosphor, the precursor powders were
normal sintered in reduced gas environment in a one-step
syn-thesis process, therefore only the blue emitting phosphors can be
obtained
In this work, we present the results of our study on red/blue
phosphors based on Eu-doped Sr2MgSi2O7 prepared by
co-precipitation method Initially, Eu3þ-doped phosphor was
synthe-sized as a red emitting phosphor, and its structure and luminescent
properties were investigated as a function of the sintering
tem-perature Lately, Eu2þdoped phosphor was obtained by reducing
the corresponding Eu3þ phosphor in forming gas environment
Moreover, the influence of Eu3 þ doping concentration on the
luminescent properties of the phosphors was also investigated
2 Experimental
The Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ phosphor was synthesized by a
co-precipitation reaction In this reaction, nitrate salts Sr(NO3)2,
Mg(NO3)2$6H2O, tetraethylorthosilicate (C2H5O)4Si (TEOS), and
europium oxide Eu2O3were used as precursors All these chemicals
were of analytic grade The raw materials were weighed according
to the nominal composition of Sr2-xMgSi2O7:xEu3þ(x¼ 0.02, 0.03,
and 0.04) Sr(NO3)2.4H2O and Mg(NO3)2$6H2O were mixed in
distilled water A stoichiometric amount of TEOS and Eu2O3was
also dissolved in ethanol and HNO3, respectively The solutions
were stirred until the solution became transparent, after which
they were mixed and continuously stirred for 3 h Subsequently, an
appropriate amount of NH4OH was added to the solution to enable
precipitation The precipitate and solution were continuously
stir-red to obtain a white viscous gel Then, centrifugal force was
applied to allow the resulting precursor to be separated The
separated precursor was washed with DI water for several times
After drying at 200C for 24 h, the dry powder was calcined in air at
various temperatures for 3 h to receive the Sr2-xMgSi2O7:xEu3þ
phosphors To produce the Sr2-xMgSi2O7:xEu2þ phosphors, the
corresponding Sr2-xMgSi2O7:xEu3þphosphor was subjected to ion
reduction in the mixture of H2/N2(10%/90%) gas at different
tem-peratures for 2 h
The phase purity of the phosphors was identified by X-ray
diffraction (XRD) pattern Measurements were carried out on a D8/
Advance-Bruker diffractometer with CuKaradiation (l¼ 1.5403 Å)
The scan rate was kept at 1 s/step at a scattering angle range of
20e70 The Raman spectra were recorded on a Horiba Jobin Yvon
LabRAM HR-800 spectrometer using HeeNe laser (632.8 nm) with
a power density of 215 W/cm2 A high-resolution mode of 1.2 cm1
was used Morphology was taken with a JSM-7600F (Jeol Co., Japan)
field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) PL and PLE
were measured on a NANO LOG spectrofluorometer PL and PLE
spectra were obtained by using a 450 W xenon light source with a
spectral resolution of about 1 nm
3 Results and discussion
Fig 1shows XRD patterns of the product sintered at 900, 1100,
1200, and 1300C for 3 h
It can be seen that until temperature of 1200 C, the main
crystalline phase in the powder is Si2SiO4, beside the Sr2MgSi2O7
and Sr3MgSi2O8 phases with smaller portion Contents of the
desired Sr2MgSi2O7 phase and the secondary Sr3MgSi2O8 phase
increase with increasing the sintering temperature At the
tem-perature of 1300C, intensity of the diffraction peaks related to the
SrSiO phase decreased abruptly, in contrast to the strong increase
of the Sr2MgSi2O7phase These results indicate that the presence and dominance of the Sr2MgSi2O7phase can only be obtained in the sample sintered at 1300C Our results are similar to those reported
by Kwon et al., in which the Sr2SiO4 phase in the Sr2MgSi2O7
phosphor (synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method) disappeared only after sintering at 1300C or higher[16] The XRD patternFig 1also confirms the tetragonal structure of the
Sr2MgSi2O7host lattice The main phase Sr2MgSi2O7has tetragonal crystal structure Sr2þion in this crystal structure occupies a unique position (position symmetry Cs) with eight neighboring O2ions and the SreO distance is 2.662 Å in average When Eu is doped into
Sr2MgSi2O7, Eu ions are expected to replace the position of Sr2þin the crystal network because of the excellent compatibility ionic radius of Eu3þand Sr2þ, 1.25 and 1.26 Å, respectively[17e19]
To evaluate the possibility of replacing the Eu3þ ions on the position of Sr ions in the host lattice, Raman spectra measurement
of the doped 4% Eu3þand undoped Sr2MgSi2O7host were carried out The Raman spectra taken at room temperature are shown in Fig 2 For the host lattice (curve a), Raman peaks are observed at
901, 652, 315, 220, 201 and 153 cm1 The peaks correspond to the stretching vibrations of the SieO and SieSi bonds of the Si2O7 group[20] For the doped Sr2MgSi2O7:4%Eu3þsample, the Raman spectrum (curve b) is similar to that of the undoped Sr2MgSi2O7
sample, no other peaks were found This result implies that the
Eu3þdopant ion was not substituted on the Si4þsite, and did not change the unite cell volume and SiOSi angle, instead they were incorporated in to host lattice by replacing the Sr2þsites
The morphology of the phosphors was characterized by FESEM Fig 3show FESEM images of the as-received phosphor (dry pow-der) (a) and the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þphosphor sintered at 1300C for
3 h (b) The dry powder show clusters of particles with variety shapes and sizes, whereas the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þphosphor exhibits needle-like shape particles with an average length of about 1 micron The chemical composition of the Sr2MgSi2O7:3%Eu3þ phosphor has been measured using energy dispersive X-ray spec-troscopy (EDS) The result of the EDS analysis is shown inFig 3(c) which is representing the composition of the phosphor powder studies

Sr2MgSi2O7:4%Eu3þ phosphor samples sintered at different tem-peratures in the range of 900e1300C Under the near UV

430e470 nm and several sharp lines in the orangeered region

Trang 3peaking at about 577, 590, 612, 653, and 701 nm The sharp red
emission lines should be ascribed to the transitions within the 4f6
configuration of Eu3þ These lines corresponds to the5D0 /7F0,
5D0/7F1,5D0/7F2,5D0/7F3and5D0/7F4transitions of Eu3þ,
respectively[21] Here, the emission line at 612 nm is attributed to
the electric dipole transition (5D0 / 7F2), while the emission
around 590 nm is assigned to the magnetic dipole transition
(5D0/7F1), which is sensitive to site symmetry According to the
parity selection rule, when the Eu3þions are located at the site with
an inversion symmetric center, the 5D0 / 7F1 magnetic dipole
transition is permitted, which results in orangeered emission
around 590 nm In the other case, if the Eu3þions located at the site
without an inversion symmetric center, because the opposite parity
5d configuration is mixed into 4f configuration, the parity selection
rule is able to lifted, and fef forbidden transition is partially
allowed, the hypersensitive5D0/7F2electric dipole transition will
be permitted, which results in red emission around 612 nm
[13,21,22] Thus, the observation of the strongest emission peak at
612 nm in our phosphor may indicate that Eu3þions mainly occupy
non-inversion symmetric center in the host lattice For the broad
blue emission band, it is known that Eu2þpresents a broad
emis-sion band peaking at around 460 nm due to the 4f65d1 to 4f7
transition of Eu2þ(8S7/2-7Fj, j¼ 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4) Since no reduction
process has been carried out with the phosphor, it is quite possible
that during the high temperature sintering, a small amount of Eu3þ
ions were reduced to Eu2þ ions that leads to the blue emission
[23e26] Longer sintering time and higher temperature can
enhance this ion transformation It can also be seen fromFig 4that
while the PL intensity of the red emissions increased with
increasing sintering temperature, the peak position and the shape
of the blue band change arbitrary with increasing temperature
Since the blue emission bands related to Eu2þions is sensitive to
the host lattice environment, the change of the blue emission band
with sintering temperature may indicate the change of the
crys-talline phases in the sample as observed from XRD results In our
opinion, the increase of the PL intensity of the red emission is
related to the higher content of the Sr2MgSi2O7 phase upon
increasing temperature from 900 to 1300C
Fig 5shows the excitation spectrum (PLE monitored at 612 nm)
of the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þphosphor The PLE spectrum covers a wide region between 350 and 600 nm revealing that the phosphor can be excited by near UV at 360, 381, 393 and 463 nm Such excitation wavelengths are well matched with near UV-LED excitation wavelength, indicating a great potential for white LED application Further, the strong excitation peak at 463 nm points out that the
Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þphosphor can also be used in the blue LED pum-ped white LED
To investigate the effect of Eu3þ doping concentration on PL intensity of Sr2MgSi2O7phosphors synthesized by co-precipitation method, the emission spectra of the phosphors at various Eu3þ concentrations (x¼ 0.02, 0.03, and 0.04) are presented inFig 6 The emission intensity increases until x¼ 0.03 and then decreases
as a result of enhanced dipoleedipole interaction This optimal
Eu3þ concentration is lower than that reported in the literature [17]

Trang 4The PL and PLE spectra of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2þphosphors sintered
at 1300C for 3 h and reduced at 1300 for 2 h are shown inFig 7
The PL spectra show a broad emission band in the blue peaking at
462 nm under the excitation wavelength of 360 nm This emission
is due to the 4f65d1e4f7transition of Eu2þions in the host lattice
Also, the PLE spectrum monitored at 460 nm is shown inFig 7 It is
shown that the blue emission band can be efficiently excited by
both UV and near UV excitation source from 260 to 415 nm Thus,
the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2þphosphor obtained in this work matches well
the excitation wavelength of the near UV LED chip
4 Conclusions
Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ/Eu2þ phosphors were prepared by the
co-precipitation method followed by sintering at 1300C for 3 h in
air ambient (Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ) and reduced at 1300C for 2 h in
forming gas environment (Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2þ) The Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ
phosphor shows strong red emission peaking at 612 nm that can be
excited by both near UV (360, 381, 393 nm) and blue (463 nm) LED
The Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2þphosphor emits strong blue light peaking at
462 nm and can be excited by both UV and near UV-LED These results suggested that the Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3þ/Eu2þphosphors have high potential for phosphor-converted white LED application Acknowledgments
