Popis: A high-purity green-emitting Sr2(Mg,Mn)Al22O36 solid-solution phosphor and its partial doped compound (Sr2(Mg,Mn)Al22O36: Eu2+) were synthesized via solid-state reaction. This solid-solution phosphor shows a green band at 518 nm from Mn2+ instinct 4T1-6A1 transition with a narrow FWHM of 28 nm. This green emission is of high color purity (87.7%) and thermal stable (80% of original intensity at 473 K). However, the emission intensity requires further enhancement due to the limitation of Mn2+ 3d-3d forbidden transition. With a tiny amount of Eu2+ introduced into Sr2(Mg,Mn)Al22O36, the luminescence intensity enormously improved to 260% of that in blank sample due to high-efficient Eu2+-Mn2+ energy transfer, which is induced by a structural confinement effect with Eu2+-Mn2+ distance of 6.225 A. Thus, the EQE of optimal phosphor Sr2Mg0.2Mn0.8Al22O36: 0.01Eu2+ is boosted to 42%. The above results hint that Sr2(Mg,Mn)Al22O36: Eu2+ has promising application potential as a green phosphor for backlighting LEDs in wide-color-gamut display, and this sensitized strategy could be applied for the development of high-performance phosphors.
