<![CDATA[The color quality of current commercial white light emitting diodes (wLEDs) suffers low performance owing to the lack of the red-emission component. Developing quality and stable red-emission phosphors is feasible among various approaches to obtain the red spectral supplement for the w-LEDs in the pursuit of color quality improvement. In this paper, the Sm3+-Eu3+ codoped Ba2Gd(BO¬3)2Cl (BGBC:Sm-Eu) red phosphor was proposed for using in commercial w-LEDs. Its luminescence and influences on w-LED properties were simulated and presented. The solid-phase method was utilized for the fabrication of the phosphor. The results indicated that the phosphor emitted the strong emission in orange-red region with a peak centering at 593 nm. It can be caused by the proficient power shift between Sm3+ and Eu3+. In the w-LED package, the presence of BGBC:Sm-Eu phosphor stimulated the scattering efficiency to promote the blue-light conversion and extraction. The orange emission spectrum of the w-LED increased with the higher BGBC:Sm-Eu doping amount. The luminous strength of the w-LED was enhanced and so was the color temperature uniformity. The color rendering properties declined with high BGBC:Sm-Eu phosphor concentration owing to the red-light dominance over the light spectrum. The BGBC:Sm-Eu phosphor is a promising red phosphor for improving commercial w-LED color-temperature stability and luminosity. It also helps to obtain full-spectrum w-LED with high color rendition when combined with other blue-to-green luminescent materials.]]>
