Highly efficient phosphor-glass composites by pressureless sintering.

ABSTRACT: The development of high-power white light-emitting diodes demands highly efficient and stable all-inorganic color converters. In this respect, phosphor-glass/ceramic composites show great promise as they could combine the merits of high quantum efficiency of phosphors and high chemical and thermal stabilities of glass/ceramic matrices. However, strong interfacial reaction between phosphors and matrices at high temperature results in quantum efficiency loss of the embedded phosphors, and traditional solutions rely on high-pressure consolidation techniques. Here we report the intrinsic inhibition of interfacial reaction by using silica glass rather than multicomponent glasses as the matrix. The embedment of phosphors is achieved via a pressureless sintering method, rendering these color-tuna
