Abstract Broadband near-infrared (NIR)-emitting phosphors are key for next-generation smart NIR light sources based on blue LEDs. To achieve excellent phosphors, we propose a strategy of enhancing the crystallinity, modifying micromorphology, and maintaining valence state Cr 3+ in Ca 3 Sc 2 Si O 12 garnet (CSSG). By adding fluxes sintering reducing atmosphere, internal quantum efficiency (IQE) is greatly enhanced to 92.3%. The optimized CSSG:6%Cr exhibits thermal stability. At 150 °C, 97.4% emission at room temperature can be maintained. fabricated NIR-LED device emits high optical power 109.9 mW 520 mA. performances both achieved phosphor almost best results until now. mechanism optimization investigated.

Abstract Near-infrared luminescent materials exhibit unique photophysical properties that make them crucial components in photonic, optoelectronic and biological applications. As broadband near infrared phosphors activated by transition metal elements are already widely reported, there is a challenge for next-generation discovery introducing rare earth activators with 4 f -5 d transition. Here, we report an unprecedented phosphor K 3 LuSi 2 O 7 :Eu 2+ gives emission band centered at 740 nm full-width half maximum of 160 upon 460 blue light excitation. Combined structural spectral characterizations reveal selective site occupation divalent europium LuO 6 K2O polyhedrons small coordination numbers, leading to the unexpected emission. The fabricated phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes have great potential as non-visible source.
