“…In recent years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on phosphors have shown great potential in the application of cost-effective backlighting for liquid-crystal displays and multicolor displaying. − Especially, the phosphor-converted white LEDs will be a new generation of lighting sources used in daily life. − Generally, white LEDs are fabricated by ultraviolet (UV) as excitation combined with red-green-blue (RGB) phosphors or blue emission chip with yellow phosphors. − Among them, white LEDs assembled by rare-earth ion-based phosphors have been developed and have already become commercial. , Nevertheless, expensive raw materials and rigorous preparation conditions are still the problems currently encountered to prepare these phosphors. , More recently, semiconductor-based quantum dots (QDs), which possess high performances, including easily tunable band gap, narrow full-width at half-maximum (fwhm), and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), have attracted much attention for phosphor-based white LEDs. , However, concerns about the serious toxicity from Pb and Cd ions may hinder their practical application in LEDs. , Therefore, excellent alternatives with low toxicity, photostability, simple preparation, and cheap raw materials are highly desired for the phosphor-based LEDs. , …”
