摘要
A novel near-infrared （NIR） downconversion （DC） phosphor KSrPO4：Eu2＋, Pr3＋ is synthesized by the conventional high temperature solid-state reaction. The Eu2＋ acts as an efficient sensitizer for Pr3＋ in the KSrPO4 host. With broad- band near-ultraviolet light excitation induced by the 4f→5d transition of Eu2＋, the characteristic NIR emission of Pr3＋, peaking at 974 nm and 1019 nm due to 3po →1G4 and 1G4→3H4 transitions, is generated as a result of the energy transfer from Eu2＋ to Pr3＋. The luminescence spectra in both the visible and the NIR regions and the decay lifetime curves of Eu2＋ prove the energy transfer from Eu2＋ to Pr3＋. This Eu2＋ and Pr3＋ co-doped KSrPO4 phosphor may be a promising candidate to modify the spectral mismatch behavior of crystalline solar cells and sunlight.
