Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Oct 22;56(84):12761-12764. doi: 10.1039/d0cc05244b.

Abstract

Here, we proposed a groundbreaking strategy for fabricating YAG:Ce3+ transparent ceramic films via a novel interface reaction of LRH nanosheets with a sapphire substrate without a tedious process. The incorporation of Gd3+ greatly enhanced the emission intensity of the ceramic film by ∼11.3 times. The prepared transparent ceramic film with a high transmittance of ∼97% is a promising photo-converter for WLEDs.
