In this study, the surface of multicrystalline silicon solar cells was coated with an up-conversion molybdate phosphor to improve the spectral response of the solar cell in the near-infrared spectral range. The short circuit current (Isc), open circuit voltage (Voc), and conversion efficiency (η) of spectral conversion cells were measured. Preliminary experimental results revealed that the light conversion efficiency of a 1.5%–2.7% increase in Si-based cell was achieved.展开更多

The phosphors were synthesized by the traditional solid-state reaction method. The structures of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Under 980 nm excitation, Ho3+/yb3+ co-doped Gd2Mo3O9 exhibited strong yellow UC emission based on the green emission near 541 nm generated by 5F4,5S2→5i8 transition and the strong red emission around 660 nm generated by 5F5→5I8 transition, which assigned to the intra-4f transitions of Ho3+ ions. The doping concentrations of Ho3+ and Yb3+ were determined to be 0.01 mol Ho3+ and 0.2 mol Yb3+ for the strongest yellow emission. Then the dependence of UC emis- sion intensity on excitation power density showed that the green and red UC emissions were involved in two-photon process. The possible UC mechanisms for the strong yellow emission were also investigated. The result indicated that this material was a promis- ing candidate for the application in the yellow display field.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) implied that the distribution of dopants (Er3+ , Y3+ , Yb3+ , Sc3+) was improved effectively with the rise of Sc3+ concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) results demonstrated that the ligand around the quenching center -OH and the population of -OH were altered by introducing different amounts of Sc3+ . The PL intensity centered at 1530 nm was increasingly improved with the rise of Sc3+ concentration, as well as the corresponding full widths at the half maximum (FWHM) and lifetime. The optimized PL intensity was 4.7 times higher than that non-Sc3+ doped sample for the Al2O3 powders codoped with 10mol% Sc3+ . This material can be promising candidates for optical fiber amplifier.展开更多

The result indicates that the unit cell parameter c is linearly increased with the increase of Eu2O3 content in Y2O2S: Eu^3+ (0.01 ≤ x ≤0.10). On the other hand, the change of unit cell parameter a is not linear dependence. In the Y2O2S: Eu^3 + crystal structure, Eu^3+ ions only replaced Y^3 + ions' places in which it posited center position of c axis. With the increase of Eu2O3 content, the position of the strongest emission peak changed from 540 nm (5D1→^ 7F2 transition) to 626 nm (^5Do→^7TF2 transition), and the maximum intensity was obtained when x = 0.09 in Y2O2S: Eu^3+ (0.01 ≤x ≤0.10). This is due to the environment of trivalent europium in the crystal structure of Y2O2S. Doping with Mg^2+ or Ti^4+. ions alone cannot get the good long-lasting afterglow effect, whereas co-doping with Mg^2 + and Ti^4 + ions and excited with 365 nm ultraviolet light, a strong thermoluminesence peak appeared, red and orange long-lasting phosphorescence (LLP) was also observed and the phosphorescence lasted nearly 3 h in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye (0.32 mcd·m^-2). Thus the LLP mechanism was analyzed.展开更多

The photoluminescence spectra, decay curves, thermoluminescent spectra and chromaticity coordinate curves were investigated. The results show that the luminescence intensity of Y1.94-xMgxO2S :0.06Ti (0≤x≤0. 10) phosphors decrease gradually with increasing Mg2+ ion content, and the shape of luminescence spectra and chromaticity coordinate change as well. Furthermore, two thermoluminescent peaks in single Ti-doped Y2O2S sample are found at 91.8 and 221.5℃, respectively. Nevertheless, significant different spectra were found for the Mg, Ti co-doped Y2O2S samples that three thermoluminescence peaks appear at 52.3, 141.7 and 226.8℃, respectively. These results indicate that the co-doped Mg ion changes the inherent trap depth of single Ti-doped Y2O2S: Ti phosphor, and induces simultaneously a new trap level in the Y1.94-xMgxO2S:0.06Ti phosphor. Based on the analysis of thermoluminescent spectra, photolumi-nescent spectra, decay curve and crystal structure defect, it was proposed that the varied structure defect and introduced new trap level by the doped Mg2+ ions should be responsible for reducing luminescence intensity and varying color in the Y1.94-x Mgx O2S : 0.06Ti phosphor.展开更多

The crystalline structure of all synthesized phosphors was investigated by XRD. The result showed that all synthesized phosphors had a hexagonal crystal structure, which was the same as Y2O2S. The emission spectrum and excitation spectrum were measured, and the effect of Sm^3 + molar ratio on the spectra was discussed. The emission spectra of the phosphors showed three emission peaks due to typical transitions of Sm^3 + (4G5/2→6HJ ,J = 5/2, 7/2, 9/2), and the emission peaks at 606 nm was stronger than others. With the increase of Sm^3 + molar ratio, the emission intensity was strengthened. The excitation peaks were ascribed to the representative energy transition 4f→4f of Ti^4+ phosphor prepared by co-precipitation method was Sm^3+ ions. The results indicated that the Y2O2S : Sm^3+ , Mg^2+ , an efficient long afterglow phosphor.展开更多

The VUV photoluminescent intensity of Y2O2S:Eu^3+ was weak, however, considerably stronger red emission at 626 nm with good color purity was observed in Y2O2S:Eu^3+,Bi^3+ systems. Investigation on the photoluminescence reveals that the strong VUV luminescence of Y2O2S:Eu^3+,Bi^3+ at 147 nm is mainly because the Bi^3+ acts as a medium and effectively performs the energy transfer process: Y^3+-O^2-→Bi^3+→Eu^3+, while the intense emission band at 172 nm is attributed to the absorption of the characteristic ^1So-^1P1 transition of Bi^3+ and the direct energy transfer from Bi^3+ to Eu^3+. The Y2O2S:Eu^3+,Bi^3+ shows excellent VUV optical properties compared with the commercial (Y,Gd)BO3:Eu^3+. Thus, the Y2O2S:Eu^3+,Bi^3+ can be a potential red VUV-excited candidate applied in Hg-free lamps for backlight of liquid crystal display.展开更多

The phosphors showed three typical transitions of Sm 3+ ( 4G 5/2→ 6H J, J=5/2,7/2,9/2), and the emission peaks located at 570, 606 and 659 nm respectively. A prominent luminescence and phosphorescence in orange-red can be seen in this phosphor when illuminated with UV light or visible light. The synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction, the excitation and photoluminescence spectra, and the after-glow intensity decay curve.

XRD patterns, photoluminescence spectra, time-resolved phosphorescence spectra and decay curves of the phosphor were investigated. XRD results reveal that a single Y 2O 2S phase exists with Ti content up to 6% (mol fraction). Yellow long lasting phosphorescence for present materials was observed in the dark with naked eye after the removal of the excitation light. From the time-resolved phosphorescence spectra the broad emission band centered at 565 nm was confirmed to be responsible for the long lasting phosphorescence which could maintain above 1 h. The possible mechanism responsible for the long lasting phosphorescence of the Y 2O 2S∶Ti phosphor was proposed.展开更多

The phosphors were synthesized by the traditional solid-state reaction method. The structures of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Under 980 nm excitation, Ho3+/yb3+ co-doped Gd2Mo3O9 exhibited strong yellow UC emission based on the green emission near 541 nm generated by 5F4,5S2→5i8 transition and the strong red emission around 660 nm generated by 5F5→5I8 transition, which assigned to the intra-4f transitions of Ho3+ ions. The doping concentrations of Ho3+ and Yb3+ were determined to be 0.01 mol Ho3+ and 0.2 mol Yb3+ for the strongest yellow emission. Then the dependence of UC emis- sion intensity on excitation power density showed that the green and red UC emissions were involved in two-photon process. The possible UC mechanisms for the strong yellow emission were also investigated. The result indicated that this material was a promis- ing candidate for the application in the yellow display field.

文摘Long-lasting phosphor Y2O2S : Eu^3+ , Mg^2+ , Ti^4+ was synthesized by a flux method and their luminescence properties were investigated. The result indicates that the unit cell parameter c is linearly increased with the increase of Eu2O3 content in Y2O2S: Eu^3+ (0.01 ≤ x ≤0.10). On the other hand, the change of unit cell parameter a is not linear dependence. In the Y2O2S: Eu^3 + crystal structure, Eu^3+ ions only replaced Y^3 + ions' places in which it posited center position of c axis.
