Problems solved by technology

However, currently known UV-emitting wavelength-converting materials (also known as UV-emitting luminescent materials or UV-emitting phosphors), have many disadvantages, such as undesirably low conversion efficiency, low photochemical and / or chemical Stability, Lewis basicity, undesired chemical interactions with discharge leading to degradation of UV-emitting luminescent materials, and undesirably low disinfection efficiency due to spectral mismatch with bactericidal action curve
For example, in the presence of excimer discharges, the chemical instability of the luminescent material of US 2008 / 02588601 may require a protective coating such as aluminum oxide, which reduces the conversion efficiency

Abstract

The invention provides a wavelength converting material comprising a compound of the formula (Y1-w-x-y-zScwLaxGdyLuz)2-a(S04)3:Mea, wherein Me represents trivalent cation or a mixture of trivalent cations capable of emitting UV-C radiation, and wherein each of w, x, y and z is in the range of from 0.0 to 1.0 and w+x+y+z <= 1.0, and wherein 0.0005 <= a<= 0.2. The wavelength converting material may be applied in an illumination device for UV illumination, in particular for sterilization or disinfection by germicidal UV illumination.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of UV-emitting luminescent compounds, for example for use in UV lamps. Background technique [0002] Fluorescent lamps that include UV-emitting phosphors are widely used in many applications, including disinfection and decontamination, leather tanning, medical treatment of skin, polymer hardening, and semiconductor wafer processing. [0003] Conventionally, sources of ultraviolet radiation are based on low or medium pressure mercury (Hg) discharges (also known as mercury vapor lamps). The emission line spectra of low-voltage Hg discharges are mainly 185 nm and 245 nm lines. Increasing pressure results in line broadening, increasing emission in the visible spectrum at the expense of UV emission. Therefore, as an ultraviolet emitter, the discharge efficiency of medium-voltage Hg is relatively low. The efficiency of Hg discharge lamps is strongly temperature dependent due to changes in Hg vapour pressure. Add...
