Enhancing thermal degradation stability of BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺ for white light-emitting diodes by ultra-thin Al₂O₃ layer via atomic layer deposition

The cyan-emitting BaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺ phosphor is a promising narrow-band and high-efficiency luminescent material used in wide-color-gamut white light-emitting diodes (wLEDs). However, its serious degradation under thermal attacks hinders its practical applications and needs to be improved. Herein, we...

Intriguing luminescence properties of (Ba, Sr)₃Si₆O₉N₄: Eu²⁺ phosphors via modifying synthesis method and cation substitution

Synthesizing pure phase Ba₃Si₆O₉N₄ by the conventional solid-state reaction method is challenging because of easily formed secondary phase Ba₃Si₆O₁₂N₂ showing similar crystal structure. In this work, an alternative low temperature synthesis method is...
