Yellow-emitting phosphor Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ was synthesized by a solution-combustion method. The phase structure and microstructure were determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, respectively. The as-prepared Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ phosphor absorbed near ultraviolet and blue light of 320–500 nm, and showed an intense yellow emission band centered at 569 nm with the CIE coordinate of (0.453, 0.526). The lifetime of Eu2+ ions in Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ phosphor was measured, furthermore the temperature dependent luminescence property and mechanism were studied, which also testified that the present phosphor had a promising potential for white light-emitting diodes.
Graphical abstractA yellow-emitting phosphor Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ was firstly synthesized by the solution-combustion method. The photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, temperature dependence of luminescence intensity, and luminescence lifetime of the phosphor were investigated.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ phosphor was synthesized by a solution-combustion method. ► Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ showed an intense yellow emission band centered at 569 nm with the CIE coordinate of (0.453, 0.526). ► The temperature dependent luminescence property and mechanism of Ca2BO3Cl:Eu2+ were studied.
