[0073] The orange phosphors obtained in the above examples were subjected to photophysical characterization. Their luminescence properties were measured in a solid state at room temperature using an Edinburgh FLS920 fluorescence spectrometer. The results showed that the orange phosphors prepared under different conditions exhibited consistent luminescence properties, as detailed in Table 1. Taking the single crystal obtained in Example 1 as an example, this material can emit orange-red light under ultraviolet excitation (…). Figure 3 The emission color coordinates are (0.58, 0.41) (Table 1). Its excitation and emission spectra are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the maximum emission peak is located at 630 nm, and the maximum emission lifetime is 8.0 μs.

[0074] Application Example 2: Preparation and Characterization of White LEDs Based on the Orange Phosphor of the Present Invention

[0075] The orange phosphor produced in Example 1 was used in combination with commercial blue phosphor BaMgAl. 10 O 17 White LEDs (WLEDs) were prepared by adjusting the mass ratio of Eu, commercial green phosphor (Sr, Ba)2SiO4:Eu, and other components. The optimal mass ratio was determined to be: blue phosphor: green phosphor: orange phosphor = 10:7:20, which resulted in uniform white light output. The specific preparation steps were: 1) Weigh the three phosphors at a mass ratio of 10:7:20 and mix thoroughly until no obvious particle stratification occurred; 2) Thoroughly mix the phosphor mixture with AB glue; 3) Fill the mixture into 365nm UV LED beads using an acupuncture needle and dry at 100℃ for shaping. Device performance test results: After lighting, it exhibited bright and pure white light, and the electroluminescence spectrum was as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the color coordinates are (0.31, 0.35) (see...) Figure 7 The color temperature is 6469K, and the color rendering index is 94.7. Test data confirms that this WLED has high luminous efficiency and stable luminous performance, meeting the core technical requirements for white light lighting.

[0076] Comparative Example 1

[0077] Based on Example 1, the In(III) doped system was removed, and a doping-free strategy was adopted to prepare the target product: SbCl3 (1 equivalent), KCl (1 equivalent), and dibenzo-18-crown ether-6 (1 equivalent) were accurately weighed and dissolved in anhydrous methanol. The solution was then ultrasonically treated for 5–10 min until a homogeneous and clear solution was formed. Vapor diffusion treatment was performed using diethyl ether as the antisolvent. After standing for 2–5 days, colorless crystals precipitated in the system, named substance A. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments confirmed that the structure of substance A differed from that of the orange phosphor in this invention, indicating that the introduction of In(III) significantly altered the coordination environment and crystal packing mode of the antimony-based complex. The obtained crystals were separated by filtration, washed with a small amount of anhydrous methanol, and dried to obtain the final product, with a separation yield of 10.2%. The maximum emission peak wavelength of substance A was 635 nm, and the fluorescence quantum yield was approximately 0.1. In contrast, the quantum yield of the orange phosphor in this invention reached approximately 0.96, with a luminous efficiency nearly ten times higher than that of substance A.

[0078] Therefore, the doping of In(III) in this patent can not only change the composition and crystal structure of antimony-based phosphors, but also significantly improve their luminescence efficiency.
