This article puts emphasis on the role of phosphors in the advancement of Light-emitting
diodes (LEDs). The increasing use of phosphors in LEDs, consequently, led to the …

Great progress has been made in inorganic persistent phosphors, especially in the recent
two decades, motivated by the discoveries of the SrAl 2 O 4: Eu 2+-Dy 3+ in the green and …

Abstract Rare earth (RE3+)-doped phosphors generally suffer from thermal quenching, in
which their photoluminescence (PL) intensities decrease at high temperatures. Herein, we …

White light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) are promising next‐generation solid‐state light
sources. However, the commercialization route for WLED production suffers from challenges …

Photoluminescence is a radiative recombination process of electron–hole pairs. Self-
trapped excitons (STEs), occurring in a material with soft lattice and strong electron–phonon …

Single‐component materials with white‐light emission are ideal for lighting applications.
However, it is very challenging to achieve white luminescence in single‐dopant activated …

Advances in solid state white lighting technologies witness the explosive development of
phosphor materials (down-conversion luminescent materials). A large amount of evidence …

The synthesis of lanthanide-activated phosphors is pertinent to many emerging applications,
ranging from high-resolution luminescence imaging to next-generation volumetric full-color …

The development of extra‐broadband emitting phosphors is challenging but meaningful
work. So far, however, phosphors that can be effectively excited by GaN‐based blue light …

Bismuth ion is an excellent activator and sensitizer for luminescent materials, which has
been extensively studied during the recent decades. Bi3+‐doped phosphors have received …
