The interface adhesion of CaAlSiN₃: Eu²⁺ phosphor/silicone used in light-emitting diode packaging: A first principles study

The CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ red phosphor and its silicone/phosphor composite are very promising materials used in the high color rendering white light-emitting diode (LED) packaging. However, the reliabilities of CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ and its composite are still being challenged by phosphor hydrolysis at high...

High moisture accelerated mechanical behavior degradation of phosphor/silicone composites used in white light-emitting diodes

In a high-power white light emitting diode (LED) package, the phosphor/silicone composite is typically used for photometric and colorimetric conversions, ultimately producing the white light. However, the phosphor/silicone composite is always exposed under harsh environments with high temperature, high blue light irradiation and high moisture...
