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...

The continuous swelling-degradation behaviors and chemo-rheological properties of waste crumb rubber modified bitumen considering the effect of rubber size

The chemo-rheological properties of crumb rubber modified bitumen are always unstable due to the mutable and uncontrollable swelling-degradation degree of crumb rubber in bitumen matrix. The study aimed at exploring the continuous swelling and degradation behaviors of crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) considering the influence of rubber size...

LED-Based Luminaire Color Shift Acceleration and Prediction

Color stability is of major concern for LED-based products. Currently, much effort is done on lumen maintenance, and for color shift, no agreed method currently exists, be it from testing or from prediction side. To investigate the physics of color shift, we present experiments of each individual part failure of each individual part that are...

A novel lifetime prediction for integrated LED lamps by electronic-thermal simulation

In this paper, an integrated LED lamp with an electrolytic capacitor-free driver is considered to study the coupling effects of both LED and driver's degradations on lamp's lifetime. An electrolytic capacitor-less buck-boost driver is used. The physics of failure (PoF) based electronic thermal simulation is carried out to simulate the lamp's...
