Title: Crystal structure, thermally stability and photoluminescence properties of novel Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:Eu{sup 2+} phosphors

Abstract

A series of novel luminescent phosphors Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:Eu{sup 2+} with apatite structure were synthesized via a high temperature solid-state reaction. The phase structure, photoluminescence (PL) properties, the PL thermal stability, as well as the fluorescence decay curves of the samples were investigated to characterize the resulting samples, and the selected Sr{sub 9.97}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:0.03Eu{sup 2+} phosphor exhibits strong thermal quenching resistance, retaining the luminance of 88.73% at 150 °C. The quenching concentration of Eu{sup 2+} in Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O was about 0.03 attributing to the dipole–quadrupole interaction. The Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:Eu{sup 2+} phosphor exhibited a broad-band blue emission at 439 nm upon excitation at 346 nm. The results indicate that Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:Eu{sup 2+} phosphors have potential applications as near UV-convertible phosphors for white-light UV LEDs. - Graphical abstract: Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:Eu{sup 2+} phosphors have potential applications as near UV-convertible phosphors for white-light UV LEDs. - Highlights: • Sr{sub 9.97}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O:0.03Eu{sup 2+} phosphor exhibits strong thermal quenching resistance. • Two different Eu{sup 2+} emission centers exists in Sr{sub 10}(PO{sub 4}){sub 6}O. • The activation energy was also estimated for the Eu{sup 2+} luminescence center.
