Abstract
Due to the unique narrow-band red emission and broadband blue light excitation, as well as milder synthesis conditions, Mn4+ ion activated fluoride red phosphors show great promise for white light emitting diode (W-LED) applications. However, as the Mn4+ emission belongs to a spin-forbidden transition (2Eg → 4A2), it is a fundamental challenge to synthesize these phosphors with a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) above 60%. Herein, a highly efficient and thermally stable red fluoride phosphor, Cs2SiF6:Mn4+, with a high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 89% and ultrahigh EQE of 71% is demonstrated. Furthermore, nearly 95% of the room-temperature IQE and EQE are maintained at 150 °C. The static and dynamic spectral measurements, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, show that the excellent performance of Cs2SiF6:Mn4+ is due to the Mn4+ ions being evenly distributed in the host lattice Cs2SiF6. By employing Cs2SiF6:Mn4+ as a red light component, stable 10 W high-power warm W-LEDs w...
