Abstract

A near-infrared emitting phosphor, Li₂SrSiO₄:Ce ³⁺, Er³⁺, is developed as a potential solar spectral convertor for Ge solar cells. Structure and UV-Vis-NIR optical properties of Li₂SrSiO₄:Ce³⁺, Er³⁺ are investigated using the Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflection spectrum, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra at room temperature. These results show that Li₂SrSiO₄:Ce ³⁺, Er³⁺ phosphor has intense absorption broadbands dominating at 360 nm which can efficiently facilite the UV part of the solar spectral when compared to Li₂SrSiO₄:Er³⁺. Furthermore, it can give an intense emission around 1530 nm via efficient energy transfer process from Ce³⁺ to Er³⁺, matching well with the optimal spectral response of Ge solar cells.
