To enhance the display quality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), it is of great significance to exploit green/yellow-emitting phosphors with narrow emission band, high quantum yield, and excellent color purity to satisfy the application. Herein, orthophosphate-based green/yellow-emitting Na3Tb(PO4)2:Ce3+/Eu2+ (NTPO:Ce3+/Eu2+) phosphors have been successfully synthesized by a facile solid-state reaction method. The absorption band of NTPO samples was extended to the near-ultraviolet region and the absorption efficiency was significantly improved owing to a highly efficient energy transfer from Ce3+/Eu2+ ion to Tb3+ ion in NTPO host certified by time-resolved PL spectra. Upon 300 nm excitation, the NTPO:Ce3+ is characterized by ultra-narrow-band green emission of Tb3+ with an absolute quantum yield of 94.5%. Unexpectedly, NTPO:Eu2+ emits bright yellow light with a color purity of 73% as a result of the blending of green light emission from Tb3+ and red light emission from Eu3+. The thermal stability has been improved by controlling the stoichiometric ratio of Na+. The prototype white LED used yellow-emitting NTPO:Eu2+ phosphor has higher color-rendering index (Ra = 83.5), lower correlated color temperature (CCT = 5206 K), and closer CIE color coordinates (0.338, 0.3187) to the standard white point at (0.333, 0.333) than that used green-emitting NTPO:Ce3+ phosphor, indicating the addition of the yellow light component improved the Ra of the trichromatic (RGB) materials. 相似文献
Nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) nanosheets have shown optimal oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance; however, the role of the intercalated ions in the OER activity remains unclear. In this work, we show that the activity of the NiFe-LDHs can be tailored by the intercalated anions with different redox potentials. The intercalation of anions with low redox potential (high reducing ability), such as hypophosphites, leads to NiFe-LDHs with low OER overpotential of 240 mV and a small Tafel slope of 36.9 mV/dec, whereas NiFe-LDHs intercalated with anions of high redox potential (low reducing ability), such as fluorion, show a high overpotential of 370 mV and a Tafel slope of 80.8 mV/dec. The OER activity shows a surprising linear correlation with the standard redox potential. Density functional theory calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicate that the intercalated anions alter the electronic structure of metal atoms which exposed at the surface. Anions with low standard redox potential and strong reducing ability transfer more electrons to the hydroxide layers. This increases the electron density of the surface metal sites and stabilizes their high-valence states, whose formation is known as the critical step prior to the OER process.
This is a follow-up paper to our "Scale effect of Planck's law over nonisothermal blackbody surface". More examples are used to describe the scale effect in detail, and the scaling-up of Planck law over blackbody surface is further extended to three-dimension nonisothermal surface. This scaling-up results in a conceptual model for the directionality and spectral signature of thermal radiation at the scale of remote sensing pixels. This new model is also an improvement of Li-Strahler-Friedl conceptual model in a sense that the new model needs only statistic parameters at the pixel scale, without request of sub-pixel scale parameters as the LSF model does. 相似文献
A small area Josephson tunnel junction is fabricated with the suspended metal mask made of ordinary razor blades.The junction overlap is formed by two successive evaporations of superconductor materials at oblique angles.The advantages of this technique are that the fabrication processes can be performed continuously without opening the evaporation chamber and also it is suitable for making a small area tunnel junctions.The Ⅰ-Ⅴ characteristic of a tunnel junction made by this technique has been taken at 4.2K. 相似文献
In this work a facile synthesis for a high-performance PtRuBi/C catalyst was presented through a simple mixture of commercial PtRu/C and Bi(NO3)3. Most of the Bimodified the PtRu particle surface via irreversible adsorption and deposition processes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that Bi2O3 was the main form in the catalyst and that there exists an interaction between Bi2O3 and Pt. The current density of PtRuBi/C (1:1:0.2 for Pt:Ru:Bi) in the cyclic voltammograms for methanol or ethanol oxidation is over 2.6 times higher than that of PtRu/C. The anti-poisoning ability of this catalyst was also greatly improved. The Bi-containing catalyst had abundant oxygenated species and facilitated removal of poisonous intermediate species. 相似文献
