The effect of lithium on structural and luminescence performance of tunable light-emitting nanophosphors for white LEDs.

Li incorporated tunable YO:Eu red-emitting nanophosphors were synthesized using a wet chemical method. The effect of Li on structural and luminescence properties of the nanophosphors were studied in detail. The structural results exhibited that nanophosphors have a body-centered cubic (I) phase with point group symmetry 3̄.
