Abstract

A series of new composite perovskite Ba3In2-xWO9: xEu3+ red phosphors were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns, scanning electron microscope images, absorption spectrum, photoluminescence and thermal stability of Ba3In2-xWO9: xEu3+ were characterized and the CIE chromaticity coordinates, color purity and correlated color temperature value of Ba3In2−xWO9: xEu3+ were calculated. The results show that the absorption peaks of Ba3In2-xWO9: xEu3+ phosphors are at 350–500 nm, and the emission peaks are at 500–750 nm. The optimal doping is at x = 0.30. The energy quenching mechanism is the interaction of dipole–dipole. The phosphors have good thermal stability and the percentage luminescence intensity is 63.29% at 423 K of Ba3In1.7WO9: 0.3Eu3+, while the thermal quenching activation energy ΔE = 0.243 eV. The color coordinate of Ba3In1.7WO9: 0.3Eu3+ is calculated at (0.6293, 0.3651), and the color purity is 97.92%, which is excellent. All the results indicated that Ba3In2-xWO9: xEu3+ near-ultraviolet (394 nm) or blue-excited (464 nm) red phosphors have potential applications in white light-emitting diodes.
