Yttrium oxide, europium doped (Y2O3/Eu) is a luminescent material with high chemical stability and good resistance to corrosion. It is considered one of the best red oxide phosphors under the excitation wavelength (λ) of ~254 nm with a high melting point and high thermal conductivity. It can be synthesized by a variety of techniques such as sol-gel, solid-state reaction, hydrothermal synthesis, and wet chemical synthesis.

Application

Y2O3/Eu can be used for a variety of sustainable applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), luminescent sensors, and light-emitting displays (LEDs).

White solid-state light can be generated using three different approaches: By employing three diodes that emit red, green and blue light respectively, by using a near-UV LED that excites several phosphors that emit over the complete spectral range, or the third, most widely used alternative entailing down-conversion of a portion of blue LED light to longer wavelengths in such a manner that white light emerges.
