Preparation and Photoluminescent Properties of Ce3+, Yb3+ Co-Doped YF3 Nanophosphors for Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

An efficient near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting (QC) nanophospors with Ce3+, Yb3+ co-doped in YF3 had been prepared by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence spectra and decay dynamics. The obtained nanorods were uniform and monodisperse. Under the excitation of 5d level of Ce3+, an intense NIR emission at 900 1100 nm was observed which match to the energy of Si band gap of Si - based solar cells. In the Ce3+, Yb3+ codoped YF3, the lifetime of Ce3+ decreases and the quantum efficiency (QE) increases with increasing Yb3+ concentration.
