abstract |
Solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are driving the lighting industry towards efficient and environmentally friendly lighting and displays. Current challenges encompass efficient and low-cost down-shifting phosphors with tuned emission colors. Green light lies on the low-loss optical transmission window in plastic optical fibers and plays a special role in the regulation of the human and plant circadian rhythms. Moreover, green-emitting phosphors may suppress the green gap found in semiconductor-based LEDs. In this work, a UV-photostable green-emitting complex, Tb(NaI)(3)(H2O)(2), with NaI = nalidixic acid (1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-7-methyl-4-oxo-1,8-naftiridine-3-carboxylic acid), was incorporated into tripodal organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The hybrid hosts boost the absolute emission quantum yield from approximate to 0.11 (isolated complex) to approximate to 0.82 (doped hybrid), which is the largest value reported for Tb3+-based hybrid phosphors. A green-emitting LED was fabricated by coating a near-UV LED (365 nm) with a Tb3+-activated organic-inorganic hybrid having pure-green-colored light with Commission International de l'Eclairage color coordinates and an efficacy value of (0.33, 0.59) and 1.3 lm W-1, respectively. |
