Abstract: | With great economic benefits, white LEDs (w-LEDs) have aroused worldwide attention. For phosphor-converted w-LED, highly efficient emission and good thermal stability of phosphor are significant parameters in practical application. Here, a yellow-orange garnet-structural phosphor, Ba2YAl3Si2O12:xCe3+ (x = 0-0.1) (BYAS:xCe3+) was developed by solid solution design. The broad emission spectrum of the as-synthesized phosphor could guarantee the effective increase of the color rendering index when it is combined with the InGaN blue chip. Benefiting from the garnet-type highly rigid framework, BYAS:xCe3+ exhibits an excellent thermal stability (50%@673K of the initial integrated intensity at 280 K) as well as high absolute quantum efficiency (80.4%@460 nm excitation light). Utilizing the approach of “phosphor-in-glass” (PiG), a high-power warm w-LED is achieved based on a blue LED plus PiG and the illuminance of this w-LED device can be as high as 4227 lx. |
