摘要

Abstract

Inorganic luminescent materials hold great promise for optoelectronic device applications

yet the limited efficiency and poor thermal stability of oxide-based deep-red emitting phosphors hinder the advancement of plant lighting technologies. Herein

a simple compositional engineering strategy is proposed to stabilize the phase

boost external quantum efficiency (EQE) and enhance thermal stability. The chemical modification of the PO

tetrahedron in NaMgPO

: Eu by incorporating SiO

lowers the formation energy

leading to the generation of pure olivine phase and increasing the EQE from 27% to 52%

setting a record for oxide deep-red phosphors. In parallel

the introduced deep defect level improves thermal stability at 150 ℃ from 62.5% to 85.4%. Besides

the excitation and emission peaks shifted to 440 nm and 675 nm

respectively

aligning precisely with the specific spectral absorption requirements of plant phytoc

hromes. Moreover

the luminescent intensity showed nearly no decay after being exposed to 80% relative humidity and 80 ℃ for 6 h

and the pc-LED utilizing Na

1.06

MgP

: Eu achieves a high output power of 780 mW at 300 mA. Our research demonstrates a facile method for optimizing the performance of inorganic luminescent materials and provides alternative solutions for low-cost plant lighting.
