Synergistic effect of energy transfer offset enabling anti-thermal quenching

Thermal quenching and brightness are significant challenges for many phosphors, particularly those used in WLEDs, restricting their effectiveness for large-scale implementation. However, developing phosphors with both anti-thermal quenching (anti-TQ) and high brightness remains quite challenging. Here, we report on the synergistic effect (SE) of energy transfer (ET) offset enabling anti-TQ and intrinsic suppression of concentration quenching (CQ) in sensitized photoluminescent schemes. Anti-TQ (102.1%@400 K) is achieved through the synergistic effect of ET and strong structural rigidity. The chromaticity-shifting (ΔEs) level is 8.63×10 −3 , indicating that it retains PL thermal stability comparable to commercial phosphors. The sensitization effects were investigated both experimentally and through theoretical models as a function of Dy 3+ concentrations. The ET process were studied based on the force electric dipole at each ion, achieving an efficiency of 83.4% and ET rates of 165.8%. The Ca 3 ScAl 3 B 4 O 15 :0.015Tm 3+ ,0.12Dy 3+ -based WLED exhibits satisfactory parameters of R a (83.9) and low-CCT (3345 K). The results highlight how emitters play a crucial role in dissipating excitation energies, offering a new avenue for improving the efficiency of sensitized luminescent materials.
