Abstract
Sc0.88Lu0.05(V1-xPx)O4:Eu3+0.07(0≤x≤0.5) phosphors were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The structure, morphology and luminescence spectra of samples were investigated by XRD, SEM and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The samples doped with Eu3+, Lu3+and PO43-can maintain the body-centered tetragonal structure of ScVO4and the morphology essentially remains unchanged with slight agglomeration. The excitation spectrum intensity of Sc0.88Lu0.05(V1-xPx)O4:Eu3+0.07increase within the near UV excitation (360-410nm). The optimum doping concentration of PO43-is 0.2(x value), and the maximum emission intensity of Sc0.88Lu0.05(V0.8P0.2)O4:Eu3+0.07is about 35 % higher than the Sc0.88Lu0.05VO4:Eu3+0.07under 365 nm excitation. Decay curve of5D0state for as-prepared samples fits the single order exponential behavior, the lifetime of5D0increase first and then decrease with the increase of PO43-doping concentration. The internal quantum efficiency is up to 66.73% under 365nm excitation, When the temperature rises to 200°C, the emission intensity maintains 79.3% of that in the room temperature. Sc0.88Lu0.05(V0.8P0.2)O4:Eu3+0.07phosphor shows high internal quantum efficiency and thermal stability, which is suitable for the UV-pumped white LED as red phosphor.
