Synthesis of Rare-Earth-Doped Strontium Tungstate Phosphor at Room Temperature and Applied Flexible Composite

In this study, we successfully synthesized rare-earth-doped crystalline SrWO4 at room temperature by co-precipitation. The results from the X-ray diffraction analysis showed a main diffraction peak related to the (112) plane. Phosphors doped with either Dy3+ or Sm3+ ions showed strong light absorption in the UV region and blue-yellow and red light emission. To synthesize a white light phosphor, Dy3+ and Sm3+ ions were co-doped to produce a SrWO4:[Sm3+]/[Dy3+] phosphor. When the Sm3+ ion concentration was increased and the Dy3+ concentration was maintained, the red light intensity increased while the blue-yellow light intensity decreased. The composites were combined with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and a flexible composite material was fabricated. The composite exhibited various luminescence properties under UV and visible light, which suggested its potential for use as an LED color filter.
