Full-spectrum high-display-index fluorescent ceramic for solid-state lighting and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to fluorescent ceramics, in particular to full-spectrum high-display-index fluorescent ceramics for solid-state lighting and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of luminescent materials.
Background
Solid state lighting is a modern lighting technology, represented by LEDs, and has the advantages of energy conservation, environmental protection, long service life and the like. At present pcWLED, yellow luminous Ce is often adopted, namely YAG fluorescent ceramic is combined with a blue LED, wherein the garnet-based ceramic fluorescent body has the advantages of good thermal stability, strong heat bearing capacity, high designability of chemical components and stable fluorescent performance. The common garnet-based fluorescent ceramics doped with Ce 3+ have two significant problems, namely, lack of sufficient red light component and lack of cyan light portion, resulting in relatively low color rendering index (CRI of about 60). There are various disadvantages such as color shift of emission, reduced sensory comfort of human eyes, and the like. For example, literature (X.Liu,H.Zhou,Z.Hu,et al.Transparent Ce:GdYAG ceramic color converters for high-brightness white LEDs and LDs,Opt.Mater.2019,88:97-102.) reports that the color rendering index of the ceramic is improved to 67.2 at the maximum by Gd 3+ ion doping YAG to Ce fluorescent ceramic. Therefore, the search for a high-index fluorescent ceramic material is important for achieving a light source of higher quality and practicality.
