Influence of Na+ Doping on Upconversion Luminescence of LiYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ Microcrystals
The applications of the upconversion (UC) phosphors in solar cells are still constrained because of their relatively low luminescence efficiency. In this work
LiYF
4
:Er
3+
/Yb
3+
co-doped with different concentrations of Na
+
was prepared by a simple and green hydrothermal procedure. The co-doping of Na
+
was proposed to enhance UC luminescence of LiYF
4
:Er
3+
/Yb
3+
microcrystals. The influence of Na
+
on the crystal structure
morphology and luminescence of LiYF
4
:Er
3+
/Yb
3+
was investigated. The results indicate that the co-doping of Na
+
can tailor the local crystal field around Er
3+
. Compared with LiYF
4
:Er
3+
/Yb
3+
the green and red emission intensities of LiYF
4
:Er
3+
/Yb
3+
co-doped with 15% Na
+
are enhanced by about 4.2 and 2.9 times
respectively. The distortion of the local symmetry and the reduction of OH groups are confirmed to be the origin of the improvement.
