Cr3+ doped near-infrared phosphors hold significant applications and generate considerable research interest. The critical parameter for assessing the strength of crystal field in Tanabe–Sugano diagram is boundary value Dq/B, representing ratio splitting to Racah B. Nevertheless, there are conflicting values this parameter, as reported various studies, such 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 C/B = 4.5–4.8. Moreover, some with wide-band emissions exhibit a Dq/B that falls within region contradictory strong field. In study, we numerically determine which distinguishes between weak fields. results then demonstrate dependence on host material correlated parameters B C. This work resolves inconsistency emission profile Cr3+, providing researchers more profound comprehension luminescence.

Abstract Broadband near‐infrared (NIR) phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diodes are next‐generation smart NIR light sources. However, the phosphor suffers from serious thermal quenching (TQ), resulting in efficiency reduction and spectral shift. Here, a novel strategy is realized to suppress TQ by minimizing bond angle distortion, completely different conventional suppression approach through length variation.

Increasing 0 1 reduces amplitude of 16.17° 5.06°, weakening electron–phonon coupling and, consequently, raising temperature significantly 320 570 K. This mechanism elucidated both theoretical calculations spectroscopic studies. The findings open new horizon for exploration thermally stable phosphors.
