Abstract
AbstractCr3+‐activated near‐infrared (NIR) phosphors have gained extensive attention for use in NIR phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diodes (pc‐LEDs), which are required for smart NIR spectroscopy techniques. Nevertheless, obtaining broadband NIR‐emitting phosphors with outstanding thermal stabilities and photoluminescence (PL) efficiencies remains a significant challenge. Herein, considering NaSr2XGe5O14 (X = Al, Ga, Sc, and In) as hosts, which possess a large band gap and multiple sites for the substitution of Cr3+ ions. NaSr2XGe5O14:Cr3+ phosphors are successfully prepared using a solid‐state reaction technology. Upon blue light excitation, the phosphors cover a broad NIR emission band in 650–1100 nm region. Notably, an abnormal blueshift and PL enhancement are observed following the substitution of Al/Ga with Sc/In. In particular, the PL internal quantum efficiency is improved from 34.5% (NaSr2GaGe5O14: Cr3+) to 87.5% (NaSr2ScGe5O14: Cr3+). Moreover, the manufactured NIR pc‐LED exhibited an exceptional photoelectric efficiency of 17.7% with an NIR output power of 10.2 mW at 20 mA, and its potential application in nondestructive detection is demonstrated.
