Abstract

A single-component Ca3YAl3B4O15 (CYAB):Dy3+, Eu3+ phosphor was synthesized by the traditional high temperature solid-phase method, Dy3+ and Eu3+ were codoped in the structure to obtain a warm white emission. The results of XRD and EDS revealed that all samples had the standard Ca3YAl3B4O15 structure, and no impurity phase appeared with codoping. The emission of Dy3+ in CYAB consisted of both main peaks at 476 nm and 570 nm, with which a white emission could be observed. Furthermore, a characteristic emission peak of Eu3+ appeared at 617 nm in Dy3+/Eu3+-codoped samples to supplement red component for the white emission of Dy3+, due to the energy transfer effect between Dy3+ and Eu3+. With the amount of Eu3+ raised, the correlated colour temperature of CYAB:Dy3+, Eu3+ phosphor obviously decreased, and a warm white light was successfully realized from the manufactured w-LEDs. Therefore, all results indicated that the single-component Dy3+/Eu3+ codoped CYAB white-emitting phosphor had a potential application in ultraviolet excited w-LEDs.
