Nitride red phosphors of Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ are synthesized in mild conditions and exhibit excellent luminescence properties; yet, the occurrence of thermal degradation results in a decrease of their luminous intensity and quantum efficiency at the high working temperature of wLED. This work shows that Sr2Si5N8:Eu2+ phosphors, prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction, undergo severe thermal degradation at high temperatures, not only in air atmosphere, but even in highly pure N2 gas. In order to shed light on the degradation mechanism, the materials obtained after heat-treatment at various temperatures up to 600 °C were thoroughly characterized at the investigated temperatures wi... |
