Novel green-emitting Na2CaPO4F:Eu2+ phosphors for near-ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes

► Novel green-emitting Na2CaPO4F:Eu2+ phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions in this research. ► White LEDs were fabricated by integrating a 390 nm NUV chip comprising blue-emitting BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+, green-emitting Na2CaPO4F:0.02Eu2+, and red-emitting CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ phosphors into a single package. ► The white LEDs exhibited white light with a correlated color temperature of 5540 K, a color-rendering index of 90.75, and color coordinates (0.332, 0.365) close to those of ideal white light.
