Abstract:
Near-infrared phosphor-converted light-emitting diode(NIR pc-LED) light source has a great application prospect in medical imaging, food detection, sensing and other aspects. The spectral characteristic and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the pc-LEDs are highly dependent on the performance of NIR phosphors. Currently, the development of inexpensive, efficient, and thermally stable broadband NIR phosphors remains a great challenge. Among the potential broadband NIR phosphors, the Cr3+ activated NIR materials have attracted serious attentions due to their advantages of being able to be excited efficiently by blue light and tunable emission band. In this study, a broadband NIR phosphor NaAlP2O7∶Cr3+ was successfully synthesized by high temperature solid-state method. Under 450 nm blue light excitation, the phosphor shows a broadband emission covering 650-1 000 nm with a peak centered at ~780 nm and a full width at half-maximum(FWHM) of 1 580 cm-1. Particularly, at 423 K, the NaAlP2O7∶4%Cr3+ sample retained ~71% of the photoluminescence(PL) intensity at room temperature, exhibiting good PL thermal stability. Furthermore, the crystallographic site occupation and crystal field strength parameter of Cr3+ ions in NaAlP2O7 host were investigated based on the structural analysis and temperature-dependent(8-503 K) spectra of the phosphor. The zero-phonon lines of Cr3+ energy levels were determined by low temperature spectroscopy at 8 K and theoretical calculation. The PL thermal quenching mechanism of Cr3+ was discussed in combination with high temperature dependent spectra. In summary, this work presents a new broadband NIR phosphor for application in NIR pc-LEDs, and highlights some strategies to explore this class of materials. © 2022 Chines Academy of Sciences.
