A facile and environmentally friendly ion exchange-assisted surface passivation (IASP) strategy is presented for synthesizing red emitting Mn-activated fluoride phosphors. A substantial, pristine Mn-free shell layer, applied as a coating to Mn doped potassium fluorosilicate KSiF:Mn (KSFM) phosphors, enhances both water resistance and luminescence efficiency. The stability test of fluoride in water at ambient temperature and boiling water demonstrates that IASP-treated KSFM phosphors are highly water resistant. Furthermore, both the negative thermal temperature (NTQ) fitting results and the photoluminescence (PL) decay confirm that the IASP process effectively passivates surface defects, leading to enhanced luminescence performance. The maximum internal quantum yield (QY) of the IASP-KSFM phosphor is 94.24%. A white LED realized a high color rendering index (CRI) of 93.09 and luminous efficiency (LE) of 149.48 lm/W. This work presented a novel technique for the development of stable fluoride phosphors and has the potential to increase the use of KSFM phosphors in plant supplementary lighting systems and white light-emitting diodes.

Due to the advantages of low phonon energy, structural diversity, excellent thermal stability and optical properties, fluoride compounds have sparked considerable research attention. On this foundation, a novel red-emitting phosphor, KScF:Mn (abbreviated as KSF:Mn), was successfully designed and synthesized via a conventional co-precipitation process. The phosphor was comprehensively analyzed in terms of its phase, structure, morphology, elemental composition, and optical performance.

This study aims to identify the key factors governing the thermal quenching of Mn ion luminescence in fluoride-based phosphor materials used as red emitters in modern-day phosphor-converted LED devices. Here, we employ first-principles calculations for Mn-doped NaSiF, NaKSiF, and KSiF hosts to explore how host properties and local coordination environments influence thermal quenching behavior. The ΔSCF method was used to model the geometric structures of the MnA (ground) and E, T (excited) states and the energies of the optical transitions between these states.

A fluoride material phosphor doped with rare earth ions Eu and Dy was studied for its photoluminescence (PL) properties. The material was synthesized using a combustion method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and PL techniques. The NaCa(SO)F: Eu phosphor exhibits two distinct peaks at 593 nm (orange) and 615 nm (red) at an excitation wavelength of 395 nm.

Article Synopsis
- - Praseodymium (Pr)-doped LiYF nanophosphors show great promise for use in lasers, phosphors, and quantum memories, but their local coordination and luminescence properties have not been thoroughly studied.
- - The study uses advanced modeling techniques to explore the structure of Pr:LiYF crystals and reveals a [PrF] ligand complex, uncovering the detailed energy levels of Pr ions in these nanocrystals.
- - By applying Judd-Ofelt theory, the researchers successfully reproduce many observed emissions and also predict two new emission bands at 675 nm and 849 nm, which could help in developing solid-state lasers using Pr:LiYF nanophosphors.
