Luminescence Properties of Ce3+ Doped Y3Al5O12 Phosphors Synthesized by Solution Combustion Method for White LEDs

Article Preview

Abstract:

We prepared Y3Al5O12:xCe3+ (0.002≤x≤0.010) phosphors by the solution combustion method, using citric acid as the combustion fuel. The crystal structure, surface morphology, and photoluminescence properties were studied, depending on Ce3+ content. The Y3Al5O12:xCe3+ powders prepared showed high-quality characteristics, i.e., smooth surface as well as regular and spherical-like morphology. The excitation and emission intensities of the Y3Al5O12:xCe3+ phosphors increased with Ce3+ content up to x=0.010. The broad emission bands peaked at 525 nm were caused by the 5d–4f transition of the Ce3+ activator. The solution combustion method could be highly favorable for preparing high-quality yellow Y3Al5O12:xCe3+ phosphors.
