The current research illustrates excitation energy-triggered photoluminescent characteristics of Pr3+ions in SrCeO3 providing a practical approach for developing high CRI wLED and its applications. SrCeO3: xPr3+ (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 wt) perovskites synthesized by fuel excess gel combustion method generate high CRI (~98) for wLED applications. Crystalline phosphors with orthorhombic structures having space group Pnma were confirmed by XRD. The unit cell volume expansion occurred with an increase in Pr3+ concentration was verified through the Rietveld refinement technique. Surface morphology, particle distribution, and size were observed via FE-SEM imaging, and detected a well-defined regular distorted spherical structure with average grain size 0.826 μm for Pr3+ doped SrCeO3. Elemental mapping and EDS analysis identified the uniform distribution and elemental purity of SrCeO3: 0.01 Pr3+. Further, the molecular vibrations and modes were analyzed from the Raman spectrum. Moreover, the average particle size assessed via TEM analysis was found to be ~83.2 nm, consistent with XRD analysis. UV–visible absorption spectra for optical energy-band gap analysis showed a decrease in band gap energy with an increase in Pr3+ concentration, realizing an effective energy transfer from Ce4+ to Pr3+. PL measurements showed a huge variety of emission transitions, corresponding to excitations 290 nm, 321 nm, 373 nm, and 449 nm. The critical dopant concentration instigated by concentration quenching was 1 wt% Pr3+, ascribed to dipole–dipole interaction. The fluorescence lifetime of the optimal sample was 4.835 μs. Commission International de I’Eclairage (CIE) diagram exposes the white light emanation of SrCeO3: Pr3+. Among which white light with high CRI (~98) and comparably low CCT (~6311 K) was obtained for SrCeO3: 0.01 Pr3+ at 373 nm excitation. The obtained results recommend that SrCeO3: Pr3+ perovskite as an efficient white phosphor for fabricating high-performance wLEDs.

通过控制高 CRI wLED 应用的激发波长来优化 Pr3+ 激活的 SrCeO3 钙钛矿的白光发射
目前的研究阐明了SrCeO 3中Pr 3+离子的激发能触发光致发光特性,为开发高显色性wLED及其应用提供了实用方法。通过燃料过量凝胶燃烧法合成的SrCeO 3 : xPr 3+ (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 wt)钙钛矿可为WLED应用产生高CRI (~98)。通过XRD确认了具有空间群Pnma的具有斜方结构的晶体磷光体。通过Rietveld 精修技术验证了随着Pr 3+浓度增加而发生的晶胞体积膨胀。通过FE-SEM成像观察表面形貌、颗粒分布和尺寸,发现Pr 3+掺杂的SrCeO 3具有清晰的规则扭曲球形结构,平均晶粒尺寸为0.826 μm。元素分布和EDS分析确定了SrCeO 3 : 0.01 Pr 3+的均匀分布和元素纯度。此外,从拉曼光谱中分析了分子振动和模式。此外,通过 TEM 分析评估的平均粒径约为 83.2 nm,与 XRD 分析一致。光学能带隙分析的紫外-可见吸收光谱显示,带隙能量随着Pr 3+浓度的增加而降低,实现了从Ce 4+到Pr 3+的有效能量转移。 PL 测量显示出各种各样的发射跃迁,对应于 290 nm、321 nm、373 nm 和 449 nm 的激发。 浓度猝灭引发的临界掺杂剂浓度为 1 wt% Pr 3+ ,归因于偶极-偶极相互作用。最佳样品的荧光寿命为4.835 μs。国际照明委员会 (CIE) 图表显示了 SrCeO 3 : Pr 3+的白光发射。其中SrCeO 3 : 0.01 Pr 3+在373 nm激发下获得具有高CRI (~98)和相对低CCT (~6311 K)的白光。所得结果表明SrCeO 3 : Pr 3+钙钛矿作为制造高性能wLED的有效白色荧光粉。
