摘要
En 中文
Lanthanides are routinely incorporated into quantum dots to act as down-shifting and up-converting phosphors in display and lighting applications due to their high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY). Recent efforts in the field have demonstrated that trivalent lanthanide, Ln(III), incorporated into ZnAl2O4 spinel nano-crystals can achieve PLQYs of 50% for down-shifting nanophosphors using earth abundant materials. The high PLQY is surprising as the Al(III) site in a spinel is centrosymmetric, which should lead to poor performance for these nanophosphors. However, spinels are prone to formation of an admixture of inverse and normal spinel lattices when the cation size ratio is not optimal. Such behavior can produce local cation disorder that can influence the phosphor performance. Herein, we describe the use of Tb(III) as an optical probe to evaluate the fractional population of the inverse and normal spinel structures within TbxZnAl2-xO4. The experimental data exhibits a Tb(III) concentration dependent change in the fractional population that results in a maximum PLQY of 37% with 3.56% Tb(III) incorporation. A decrease in the degree of inversion (cation disorder) leads to larger amounts of the cubic Fd (3) over barm phase resulting in the observed photoluminescence behavior. The correlation of NMR, pXRD, and optical methods provides direct insight into the high PLQY behavior for this class of nanophosphor.
