Abstract
An energy efficient solution combustion technique was selected for fabricating a series of energy-efficient novel down-converted Ba3Y4O9:Er3+ nanoparticles with green emission. Crystal structure engineering along with the morphological aspects was investigated via certain advanced characterizations such as Rietveld refinement and powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD) procedure, microscopic practices like scanning and transmission electron microscope techniques, photoluminescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic analysis. Average crystallite size (65.71 nm–74.15 nm) and micro strain (0.0012) of the optimum powder nanomaterial were analyzed from high quality XRD data using Williamson-Hall (W–H) plot method. Alluring spectroscopic features were realized by photoluminescent (PL) spectra recorded upon excitation via near ultraviolet (NUV) source of 381 nm; displaying an intense emission peak (562 nm) situated in the visible region that is solely responsible for the green glow of the prepared phosphor. PL analysis witnessed a bright green emission via a reliable emanation transition (4S3/2 → 4I15/2) of Er3+ ions. Excellent colorimetric parameters of optimized nanophosphor like CIE coordinates (0.3420, 0.6064), 5356K CCT and 79.02% color purity validated its advanced photonic and optoelectronic applications for cool light emitting WLEDs, lasers, optical sensors, solar and photovoltaic cells.
