Abstract

A robust and bright red emitter is recognized as a key enabler for high-quality warm white light-emitting diode (w-LED). Herein, triple molybdate scheelite-type NaCaLa1-x(MoO4)3:xEu3+ (NCLM:xEu3+) phosphors derived from NaCaLa(MoO4)3 host by the equivalent-valent substitution strategy are successfully synthesized and systematically studied. Impressively, the NCLM:Eu3+ phosphors (λem = 615 nm) can be effectively stimulated by 395 and 466 nm light, exhibiting an ultra-high color purity and quantum efficiency close to 100%. The structure-related emission characteristics were analyzed based on the Judd-Oflet theory. The packaged white LED device used tri-color phosphors displays a superior color rendering index of 86.0 and low correlated color temperature of 2797 K. Moreover, the NCLM-based polydimethylsiloxane film maintains an impressive luminescent performance when it is folded or bent, demonstrating the potential applications in the field of flexible display and other light-emitting devices.
