A series of promising cyan, green, and yellow emission (Ba, Sr) 3 (Si, Al) 6 (O, N) 15 :Eu 2+ phosphors were synthesized by a Pechini-type sol−gel ammonolysis method. Variations in luminescence properties and crystal structure caused by the modification of phosphor composition were studied in detail. The prefired temperatures of the precursors play a key role in the process of forming the final products. Under UV light excitation, the as-prepared Ba 3 Si 6 O 15 :Eu 2+ phosphor presents a strong cyan emission located at 498 nm. Moreover, the as-prepared oxynitride phosphors, Eu 2+activated (Ba 1−y Sr y ) 3 Si 6−x Al x O 15−μ N δ (x = 0−1.2, y = 0−0.6), display a broader excitation band covering the entire visible region. Under blue light excitation, Ba 3 Si 6−x Al x O 15−μ N δ :Eu 2+ phosphors show a intense and narrow green emission at 520 nm, and the luminescent intensity can be enhanced by increasing Al content within a certain range. However, (Ba 1−y Sr y ) 3 Si 6 O 15−μ N δ :Eu 2+ phosphors exhibit green (520 nm) to yellow (554 nm) emission with increasing Sr content. Unexpectedly, Eu 2+ doped Ba 3 Si 6 O 9 N 4 -type Ba 3 Si 6 O 15−μ N δ −1300 °C phosphor exhibits a bluish green emission and strong thermal quenching behavior. The (Ba 1−y Sr y ) 3 Si 6−x Al x O 15−μ N δ :Eu 2+ phosphors exhibit a small thermal quenching, and the quantum yields measured under 460 nm excitation could reach up to 89% for green Ba 3 Si 6−x Al x O 15−μ N δ :Eu 2+ phosphor and 71% for yellow (Ba 1−y Sr y ) 3 Si 6x O 15−μ N δ :Eu 2+ phosphor. White LEDs with tunable color temperature and higher color rendering index were fabricated by combining the prepared cyan Ba 3 Si 6 O 15 :Eu 2+ /green Ba 2.91 Eu 0.09 Si 6−x Al x O 15−μ N δ (x = 0.06)/yellow (Ba 0.97−y Sr y ) 3 Eu 0.09 Si 6 O 15−μ N δ (y = 0.4) phosphor and a red phosphor with a UV or blue LED chip, indicating that they are promising phosphors for white LEDs.
