A series of Eu2+/Mn2+/Tb3+ doped LiSrPO4 phosphors have been synthesized by the solid state reaction. The XRD results show that all phosphors have the pure hexagonal crystal structure, indicating the doping ions have no influence on the phase of LiSrPO4 host. Under the excitation at 365 nm, LiSrPO4/Eu2+ phosphors emit blue emission originating from the 4f65d1 → 4f7 transitions of Eu2+. The Eu2+/Mn2+ or Tb3+ codoped LiSrPO4 phosphors show not only the emission of Eu2+ but also the red emission coming from the 4T2 → 6A1g transitions of Mn2+ or green emissions induced by the 5D4 → 7Fj transitions of Tb3+. The increasing Mn2+ or Tb3+ concentration induces the decrease of Eu2+ emission intensity, which suggests the energy from Eu2+ to Mn2+ or Tb3+ in LiSrPO4 host. For LiSrPO4:7 mol%Eu2+/5 mol%Mn2+/5 mol%Tb3+ phosphor, the white light can be obtained under the 365 nm excitation.
Graphical abstractThe Eu2+/Mn2+ and Eu2+/Tb3+ show emissions bands originating from the Eu2+/Mn2+ and Eu2+/Tb3+, suggesting energy transfer from Eu2+ to Mn2+ and Tb3+ in LiSrPO4 host.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
