Abstract

Novel single-phase white-light-emitting Sr7Zr(PO4)6:Dy3+ phosphors for light-emitting diode (LED) applications were synthesized by conventional solid-state reactions. The phases and luminescent properties of the obtained Sr7Zr(PO4)6:Dy3+ phosphors were characterized. The results show that the luminescence spectra excited by 350 nm consist of two characteristic blue and yellow bands, corresponding to the 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 and 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 transitions of Dy3+, respectively. When x > 0.02, the concentration quenching effect occurred, and the critical transfer distance (Rc) was ~19.247 Å. The energy transfer of the Dy3+ ions is the electric dipole–dipole interaction mechanism. The International Commission on Illumination chromaticity coordinates for Sr7−x Zr(PO4)6:xDy3+ phosphors were located in the white region. The developed phosphor has great potential as a single-component white-light-emitting phosphor for UV-LEDs.
