Tunable emission, energy transfer and charge compensation in SrMoO₄:Sm³⁺,Tb³⁺,Na⁺ phosphor

Abstract

A series of SrMoO4:Sm(3+),Tb(3+),Na(+) phosphors was synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state reaction method in air. On excitation at 290 nm, SrMoO4:Sm(3+),Tb(3+) phosphor emitted light that varied systematically from green to reddish-orange on changing the Sm(3+) and Tb(3+) ion concentrations. The emission intensities of SrMoO4:Sm(3+) and SrMoO4:Sm(3+),Tb(3+) phosphors were increased two to four times due to charge compensation when Na(+) was added as a charge compensator. The luminescence mechanism and energy transfer could be explained using energy-level diagrams of the MoO4(2-) group, Sm(3+) and Tb(3+) ions. SrMoO4:Sm(3+),Tb(3+),Na(+) could be used as reddish-orange phosphor in white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on an ~ 405 nm near-UV LED chip. This research is helpful in adjusting and improving the luminescence properties of other phosphors.

Catalytic SrMoO4 nanoparticles and conducting polymer composite sensor for monitoring of K+-induced dopamine release from neuronal cells

“…9 Different nanostructures of SrMoO 4 NPs have been applied in some areas, such as in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), 10 photocatalytic/photoelectrocatalytic activity, 11,12 and host materials in light-emitting phosphors. 13 However, there are only few reports on the use of SrMoO 4 as a chemical sensor material. 14,15 Thus, our effort was to synthesize nanosized, different shaped, highly ordered octahedral SrMoO 4 particles for the first time for electrochemical sensor applications in the catalytic oxidation of biogenic amine compounds.…”

Synthesis and luminescence properties of CaSnO3:Bi3+ blue phosphor and the emission improvement by Li+ ion

“…Luminescent materials have attracted much attention because of their potential applications in many fields, including displays, solid‐state lighting and other photonic devices . The main group metal bismuth with a [ Xe ]4 f 14 5 d 10 6 s 2 6 p 3 electronic configuration is one of a number of green elements owing to its non‐carcinogenic and nontoxic properties .…”
