Hydrolysis Mechanism Analysis of (Ca, Sr)AlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ Red Phosphor Aged Under Pressure Cooker Test and 85°C&85%RH Test: Kinetics Modeling and First-principles Calculation

The (Ca, Sr) AlSiN₃:Eu²⁺(CSASN:Eu) red phosphor is widely used to improve color rendering of high-power phosphor-converted lighting diode (pc-WLED), but it is always unstable under high temperature and high humidity environments. Therefore, the studies on the temperature and humidity resistance of red phosphors and their aging mechanism have...

Revealing The Degradation Mechanism of (Sr,Ca)AlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ Phosphor Aged Under Thermal-Moisture-Sulfur Conditions: A Combined Experimental and Ab Initio Study

MAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ (M = Ca, Sr) is commonly used in high-power phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diodes and laser diodes to promote their color-rendering index. However, the wide application of this phosphor is limited by the degradation of its luminescent properties in high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-sulfur...

Mechanical performance characterization of lignin-modified asphalt mixture

Lignin, as a bio-based waste, has been utilized in the asphalt industry due to various advantages. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two lignin products (lignin powder and lignin fiber) on the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures. The raveling, rutting, thermal and fatigue cracking resistance, and moisture susceptibility of...
