Abstract
The series of Ba2−xSrxZnS3:Eu2+,Ce3+ (x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) red emission phosphors was synthesized by a solution based technique employing polymerizable complex method. The prepared materials conformed to Ba2MnS3 type crystal structure. Red fluorescence could be efficiently exited by the blue light of 445nm; thus these phosphors are prospective in white LED lighting application. The emission intensity vs. Sr concentration showed a distinct maximum at x = 0.4, while co-doping with Eu2+ and Ce3+ allowed for enhancement of emission intensity by 5-15% compared to the Ce free samples. The maximum emission intensity at 670nm exhibited by the material with optimal Sr concentration approached 80% compared to one of the best commercially available YAG:Ce3+.
