Cyan phosphors have attracted considerable attention in recent years as an indispensable component for realizing full-spectrum lighting. In this study, a novel nitride-based cyan-emitting phosphor Ca2BN2Cl:Eu2+ was successfully prepared. Its crystal structure refined by the Rietveld refinement reveals that Ca2BN2Cl is formed by a tight host lattice and the edge-sharing Ca(N,Cl)4 tetrahedrons along with multiple crystallographic Ca sites for Eu2+ ions to occupy, which corresponds to its broad emission band. Under the near ultraviolet (NUV) light excitation, Ca2BN2Cl:Eu2+ emits a broad-band cyan light and its full width at half-maximum (FWHM) can reach 121 nm, which effectively compensates the "cyan cavity". The time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra of Ca2BN2Cl:Eu2+ were investigated to expose the energy transfer between the multiple luminescent centers. Furthermore, the temperature-dependent spectra of Ca2BN2Cl:Eu2+ were measured to evaluate its thermal stability. All of the discussion and results reveal that Ca2BN2Cl:Eu2+ is a promising cyan phosphor for use in white light-emitting diodes to realize full-spectrum lighting.
