Abstract

The Pr3+ -doped BaZrGe39 gallogermanate phosphors are reported to have a well-defined successive deep defect structure that effectively mitigates thermal carrier fading. This phosphor also presents a red emission with a peak at 615 nm, originating from the Pr3+ transtition from 1D2 to 3H4. We investigated the impact of Pr3+ -activated BaZrGe3O9 (referred to as BZG:Pr) on the lighting characteristics of light emitting diodes (LED) packages in this paper. By combining BZG:Pr with TiO2 particles and silicone, we produced a phosphor layer (designated as BZG:Pr@TiO2). The optical performance of the resulting LED was systematically examined by varying the TiO2 doping percentage. Our findings reveal that the incorporation of the BZG:Pr phosphor enhances the red spectral component, thereby contributing to improved homogeneity in color distribution. However, a progressive increase in TiO2 content within the phosphor layer corresponds to diminishing luminous output and decreased chromatic rendering efficiency of the LED. Employing a lower concentration of TiO2 proves advantageous, as it capitalizes on the scattering-enhancing attributes while leveraging the red emission of the BZG:Pr phosphor. This synergistic approach yields a favorable balance between luminosity and color quality, enhancing the LED’s overall performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the optical behavior of CdSe quantum dots, a class of semiconductor nanomaterials widely studied for light-emitting, photovoltaic, and bioimaging applications owing to their size-dependent electronic structure. The objective is to clarify the relationship between quantum dot size, size distribution, and emission characteristics through experimental and simulated optical spectra. UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence, and simulated PL spectra were analyzed for CdSe quantum dots excited at 325 nm. The experimental PL spectrum exhibits a single and narrow emission band assigned to the 1Se → 1Sh transition, which is blue-shifted compared with bulk CdSe, confirming strong quantum confinement in 2-3 nm particles with a very narrow size distribution of less than 1%. A large Stokes shift of 0.93 eV is observed, attributed to confinement effects and surface-related states. Simulated photoluminescence (PL) spectra for 3-6 nm quantum dots show progressive red-shifting and spectral broadening with increasing particle size, while smaller quantum dots display stronger PL intensity due to enhanced confinement and more efficient radiative recombination. Parameter analysis further reveals that size deviation and linewidth broaden emission and reduce intensity without changing the peak wavelength. These findings provide useful guidance for optimizing CdSe quantum dots for QLEDs, bioimaging, and broadband optoelectronic devices.

Abstract

Quantum dot-sensitized solar cells hold promise for low-cost, high-efficiency photovoltaic applications; however, instability due to quantum dot degradation and poor interfacial charge transport remain key challenges. In this study, a copper-doped Zn(S,Se) passivation layer was chemically synthesized and applied onto TiO₂/CdS/CdSe@Cu photoanodes. The goal was to shield quantum dots from corrosive polysulfide electrolytes and enhance photon absorption. The morphology, structure, and optical characteristics of the Zn(S,Se):Cu layers were systematically analyzed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. J-V measurements demonstrated that the ZnSe:Cu-coated photoelectrode achieved a higher power conversion efficiency (5.31%) than the ZnS:Cu counterpart (4.5%). Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed a lower charge transfer resistance (Rct2 = 331 Ω), indicating improved electron transport and reduced recombination. These findings highlight the potential of Zn(S,Se):Cu layers in enhancing the stability and efficiency of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells, paving the way for more durable and efficient solar energy devices.
