Abstract
Green-emitting Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+ phosphors for white LED are successfully synthesized by a gel-combustion method. The as-synthesized phosphors are investigated by XRD, SEM, and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results indicate that the crystal structure of the phosphor is pure. The particle morphology of the sample is basically spherical in shape. The particle size is smaller than 1μm. The emission spectrum shows a broad band emission, and the main emission peak locates at 505 nm. Bright green-emission broadening is attributed to the characteristic emissions 5d-2F5/2 and 5d-2F7/2 transitions of Ce3+. The optimal doping concentration of Ce in Ca3-xSc2Si3O12:Ce is x=0.1. The thermal stability and the luminescence intensity of the Ca3Sc2Si3O12:Ce3+ are significantly improved compare with those of YAG:Ce.
