Abstract

This study explored optimal preparation conditions for K₂GeF₆:Mn⁴⁺ red phosphors by using chemical coprecipitation method. The prepared hexagonal P3m1 K₂GeF₆:Mn⁴⁺ exhibited efficient red emission, high color purity, good Mn⁴⁺ concentration stability, and low thermal quenching. Structural evolution from hexagonal P3m1 to P6₃mc and then P6₃mc to cubic Fm3m occurred after thermal treatment at approximately 400 and 500°C, respectively. Hexagonal P6₃mc phase showed an obvious zero phonon line peak at 621 nm, whereas cubic Fm3m phase showed no red emission. Yellowish K₂GeF₆:Mn⁴⁺ with both hexagonal P3m1 and P6₃mc symmetries are promising commercial red phosphors for white light-emitting diodes. (Figure Presented)
