Synthesis and photoluminescence of Eu³⁺-activated double perovskite NaGdMg(W, Mo)O₆– a potential red phosphor for solid state lighting

Abstract

A novel high-efficiency double perovskite NaGdMg(W, Mo)O6:Eu phosphor is obtained by an improved citrate–EDTA complexing method. An emission intensity over twenty times that of a commercial red phosphor is observed. The host material has high-efficiency absorption, high doping concentration for many rare earth ions and intense emission with different colors.
