摘要
A novel near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting KCaGd(PO4)(2):Ce3+,Yb3+ phosphor was successfully developed. Due to the cooperative energy transfer from one Ce3+ to two Yb3+, an intense NIR emission around 1021 nm of Yb3+:F-2(5/2)-F-2(7/2) transition was obtained under 324 nm excitation. Yb3+ concentration dependent quantum efficiency has been calculated and the theoretical maximum efficiency approaches up to 158.2%. Because the emission of Yb3+ around 1021 nm is matched with the band gap of crystalline Si, the phosphors could be a potential candidate for silicon-based solar cells.
