[0047] Step 6: Grind the intermediate product obtained in Step 5 again for 15-25 minutes and put it back into the corundum crucible;

[0048] Step 7: Place the corundum crucible from Step 6 into a tube furnace and heat it to 1000-1300℃ in air at a heating rate of 3-6℃ / min. Calcinate at high temperature for 2-6 hours, and then cool it to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the calcined product.

[0049] Step 8: The calcined product obtained in Step 7 is subjected to graded grinding. First, it is coarsely ground for 5-10 minutes, then finely ground for 15-25 minutes, and passed through a 200-400 mesh sieve to obtain the near-infrared phosphor based on the energy resonance transfer effect. The chemical formula of the near-infrared phosphor is: Zn 1-a Ca a Ga 2-2a-x-y In 2a O4: xNi / yCe, where 0.01≤a≤0.09, x=0.008, 0.002≤y≤0.008.

[0050] In step 1, the Zn source is ZnO, the Ca source is CaCO3, the Ga source is Ga2O3, the In source is In2O3, the Ni source is NiO, and the Ce source is CeO2; the auxiliary agent is NH4Cl or H3BO3.

[0053] Technical principle of the invention:

[0054] This invention, based on the energy resonance transfer effect, achieves a significant improvement in the luminescence performance of materials through a cation-mediated valence state / field intensity synergistic modulation strategy. Its core principle is as follows:

[0055] 1. Defect level engineering. This invention utilizes co-doping of Ce... 4+ The ions introduce new defect levels (ET) between the valence and conduction bands of the ZnGa2O4 matrix. When Ni... 2+ Ions under 380nm violet light excitation from the ground state 3 A2( 3 F) Transitions to the excited state 3 T1( 3 After P), some electrons relax to nonradiative states. 3 T2( 3 F) energy level. However, the traditional ZnGa2O4:Ni 2+ The material contains a large number of oxygen vacancies, which can trap photogenerated carriers, leading to increased nonradiative recombination and decreased luminescence efficiency. This invention introduces Ce... 4+ Defect level ET and Ni 2+ of 3 T2( 3 F) When energy levels are close (energy level difference < 0.15 eV), electrons trapped by oxygen vacancies can transfer to the ET level via resonant tunneling or thermal excitation, and then migrate back to the Ni level.2+ of 3 T2( 3 The F) energy level eventually transitions to... 3 A2( 3 F) Near-infrared radiation is generated. This "capture-transfer-return" resonant energy transfer path effectively compensates for the number of photons lost in non-radiative transitions.

[0056] 2. Charge balance regulation. In spinel structures, Ni 2+ Ion-substituted Ga 3+ The ionic lattice sites introduce a charge imbalance (NiGa× carries an effective negative charge). To maintain electroneutrality, a large number of positively charged oxygen vacancies (V0) are spontaneously generated within the material. O •• This invention utilizes co-doped Ca. 2+ and In 3+ Ion: Ca 2+ Prioritize occupying Zn 2+ Grid position, In 3+ Occupy Ga 3+ The synergistic doping of lattice sites and both modulates local lattice strain and charge distribution. Specifically, In 3+ The introduction of Ni supplements 2+ Replace Ga 3+ The resulting loss of positive charge significantly suppresses the formation of oxygen vacancies. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests confirmed that the oxygen vacancy signal intensity in the co-doped system of this invention is reduced by approximately 62% compared to the undoped system.

[0057] 3. Crystal field engineering. Based on the Tanabe-Sugano diagram, Ni... 2+ The luminescence properties in an octahedral coordination field are strongly dependent on the crystal field strength (Dq). This invention utilizes Ca... 2+ In 3+ Co-doping slightly lengthened the Ni-O bond length, adjusting the crystal field parameter Dq to its optimal value (approximately 780 cm⁻¹). -1 ), making 3 T2( 3 F) Energy levels and 3 A2( 3 F) The energy level difference between energy levels and non-radiative relaxation reach an optimal balance, further increasing the probability of radiative transition.

[0058] In summary, this invention constructs a triple synergistic system of "lattice structure-energy level matching-defect modulation", which achieves a significant leap in near-infrared luminescence performance.

[0095] The preparation method of the near-infrared phosphor based on the energy resonance transfer effect is the same as steps 1-8 of Example 1.

The LED chip is an InGaN semiconductor chip with a peak emission wavelength of 370-380nm. Near-infrared phosphor is uniformly dispersed in a modified silicone adhesive (the mass ratio of near-infrared phosphor to modified silicone adhesive is 1:2.3), and then coated onto the chip (the chip is fixed on a packaging substrate) with a coating thickness of 200μm. The circuit is then connected, cured at 80℃ for 2 hours, and then further heated to 150℃ for 4 hours to obtain the near-infrared LED light-emitting device of this invention.

[0098] Single-factor experiments on key processes:

[0099] 1. Single-factor experiment on ball milling time

[0100] The process is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that the ball milling time in step 2 is set to 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h and 5h respectively. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0101] Table 1. Results of single-factor experiments on ball milling time

[0102]

[0103] The table above shows the following conclusions: When the ball milling time is less than 2 hours (e.g., 1 hour), the raw materials are mixed unevenly, resulting in large particle sizes (1200-1800 nm), insufficient solid-phase reaction, and low crystallinity (0.78), leading to a significant decrease in emission intensity and quantum efficiency (emission intensity only 62, IQY 28.3%). When the ball milling time is greater than 4 hours (e.g., 5 hours), excessive ball milling results in excessively fine particles (200-350 nm), a sharp increase in surface energy, easy particle agglomeration and impurity adsorption, and uncontrolled grain growth after calcination, which in turn reduces luminescence performance (emission intensity 76, IQY 30.5%). The optimal ball milling time range of this invention is 2-4 hours, with the optimal value being 3 hours.

[0104] 2. Single-factor experiment on pre-calcination temperature

[0105] The process was basically the same as in Example 1, except that the pre-calcination temperature was set to 300℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃ and 700℃ respectively. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0106] Table 2. Single-factor experimental results of pre-calcination temperature

[0107]

[0108] Conclusion and Analysis: When the pre-calcination temperature is below 400℃ (e.g., 300℃), precursors such as calcium carbonate decompose incompletely. The residual carbonate ions interfere with lattice formation during subsequent high-temperature calcination, generating impurity phases, resulting in an emission intensity of only 51 and an IQY of only 22.7%. When the pre-calcination temperature is above 600℃ (e.g., 700℃), the raw materials melt and sinter prematurely, forming localized glassy states, reducing the activity and uniformity of subsequent solid-phase reactions, causing the emission intensity to drop to 72 and the IQY to drop to 29.3%. The preferred pre-calcination temperature range of this invention is 400-600℃, with an optimal value of 500℃.

[0109] 3. Single-factor experiment on high-temperature calcination temperature

[0110] The process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the high-temperature calcination temperature is set to 1000℃, 1150℃, 1200℃, 1250℃ and 1300℃ respectively. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0111] Table 3. Results of single-factor experiments on high-temperature calcination temperature

[0112]

[0113] Conclusion and Analysis: When the calcination temperature is below 1150℃ (e.g., 1100℃), the solid-state reaction kinetics are insufficient, the spinel crystal phase is not fully formed, and a large number of amorphous or intermediate phases exist, activating Ni ions. 2+It is difficult for the Ni to effectively enter the crystal lattice sites, resulting in an emission intensity of only 63 and an IQY of only 27.4%. When the calcination temperature exceeds 1250℃ (e.g., 1300℃), the grains grow excessively (800-1200nm), the specific surface area decreases, and some Ni... 2+ It may be oxidized or undergo grain boundary segregation, while the oxygen vacancy concentration increases, nonradiative recombination intensifies, the emission intensity drops to 84, and the IQY drops to 33.7%. The preferred high-temperature calcination temperature range of this invention is 1150-1250℃, with an optimal value of 1200℃.

[0114] 4. Single-factor experiment on high-temperature calcination time

[0115] The process is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that the high-temperature calcination time is set to 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h and 7h respectively. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0116] Table 4. Results of single-factor experiments on high-temperature calcination time

[0117]

[0118] Conclusion and analysis: When the calcination time is less than 4 hours (e.g., 3 hours), the solid-phase reaction is insufficient, and Ni... 2+ Ce 4+ Plasma failed to diffuse sufficiently into the crystal lattice, resulting in excessively high local concentrations that caused concentration quenching or the formation of impurity phases, leading to an emission intensity of only 72 and an IQY of only 30.8%. When the calcination time exceeded 6 hours (e.g., 7 hours), prolonged high-temperature treatment caused some Ce to be lost. 4+ Restored to Ce 3+ This process disrupts the original defect energy level structure, increases energy consumption and particle agglomeration, and reduces the emission intensity to 88 and IQY to 33.5%. The preferred calcination time range of this invention is 4-6 hours, with the optimal value being 5 hours.

[0119] 5. Single-factor experiment on the dosage of adjuvants

[0120] The process is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the amount of additives is set to 0wt%, 0.5wt%, 1.0wt%, 1.5wt%, and 2.0wt%, respectively. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0121] Table 5. Results of single-factor experiments on the dosage of adjuvants

[0122]

[0123] Conclusion and Analysis: Without additives, the solid-phase reaction is incomplete, resulting in loose sintering, low crystallinity (0.85), emission intensity of only 78, and IQY of only 33.2%. Additive dosage less than 0.5% shows some improvement; however, dosage greater than 1.5% (e.g., 2.0%) leads to over-sintering, resulting in the formation of a glassy phase, decreased crystallinity, emission intensity dropping to 82, and IQY decreasing to 34.1%. The preferred additive dosage range of this invention is 0.5-1.5%, with an optimal value of 1.0%.

[0124] 6. Single-factor experiment on pre-calcination time

[0125] The process is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that the pre-calcination time is set to 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h and 5h respectively. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0126] Table 6. Results of single-factor experiments on pre-calcination time

[0127]

[0128] Conclusion and Analysis: When the pre-calcination time is less than 2 hours (e.g., 1 hour), the carbonate decomposition is incomplete, resulting in an emission intensity of only 72 and an IQY of only 30.5%. When the time is greater than 4 hours (e.g., 5 hours), although decomposition is complete, some raw materials begin to sinter slightly, increasing energy consumption, and reducing the emission intensity to 89 and the IQY to 33.8%. The preferred pre-calcination time range of this invention is 2-4 hours, with the optimal value being 3 hours.

[0129] 7. Single-factor experiment on heating rate

[0130] The process is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that the heating rate in step 7 is set to 1℃ / min, 3℃ / min, 5℃ / min, 7℃ / min and 10℃ / min respectively. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0131] Table 7. Results of single-factor experiments on heating rate

[0132]

[0133] Conclusion and Analysis: When the heating rate is too slow (1℃ / min), the grain growth time is too long, the size is uneven, the emission intensity is only 78, and the IQY is only 32.5%. When the heating rate is too fast (10℃ / min), thermal stress leads to grain cracking and increased defects, resulting in significant unevenness, and the emission intensity drops to 82 and the IQY drops to 33.9%. The preferred heating rate range of this invention is 3-7℃ / min, with the optimal value being 5℃ / min.

[0134] 8. Single-factor experiment on the effect of graded grinding time

[0135] The process was basically the same as in Example 1, except that the grading grinding time was set to 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min and 30 min respectively. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0136] Table 8 Single-factor experiments on graded grinding time

[0137]

[0138] Conclusion Analysis: When the fine grinding time is less than 15 min (e.g., 10 min), the particles are too coarse (800-1000 nm), resulting in poor dispersibility, an emission intensity of only 85, and an IQY of only 35.1%. When the time is greater than 25 min (e.g., 30 min), the particles are too fine (200-350 nm), easily agglomerating and adsorbing impurities, increasing non-radiative transitions, and reducing the emission intensity to 86 and the IQY to 34.5%. The preferred fine grinding time range of this invention is 15-25 min, with an optimal value of 20 min. Furthermore, this application demonstrates through experiments that a longer grinding time is not necessarily better.

Figure 2 a represents the XRD patterns of ZGN:Cl phosphors with different Cl doping concentrations. Figure 2 b shows the XRD patterns of ZGCI:Ni / Ce phosphors with different Ni / Ce co-doping concentrations; the XRD diffraction peaks of all samples correspond one-to-one with the cubic spinel structure standard card JCPDS38-1240, with no impurity peaks precipitated, and the diffraction peaks are sharp and have high diffraction intensity, proving that the samples of each doped system are pure phase structures with excellent crystal integrity and crystallinity.

Figure 3 a represents the luminescence spectra of ZGN:Cl phosphors with different Cl doping concentrations. Figure 3 b shows the emission spectra of ZGCI:Ni / Ce phosphors with different Ni / Ce co-doping concentrations. All doped samples produced near-infrared characteristic emission centered at 1300 nm. The excitation and emission peak shapes of each sample were basically the same, with only differences in relative emission intensity. Among the comparative samples, Comparative Example 1 had the highest emission intensity, while Example 1 of the present invention had the best emission intensity. The emission spectra of the samples effectively covered the 1100 nm-1650 nm near-infrared band. Compared with the single-doped system, Ce... 4+ / Ni 2+ The near-infrared emission intensity of the co-doped sample was significantly enhanced. Spectral characteristics showed that the 380 nm peak was due to Ni. 2+ of 3 A2( 3 F)→ 3 T1( 3 P) transition; a weak peak exists at 622nm. 3 A2( 3 F)→ 3 T1( 3 F) transition.

[0152] Figure 4 The images show a comparison of the fluorescence kinetics and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characteristics of the sample with the optimal doping concentration according to this invention. Figure 4 a is a comparison of the time-resolved fluorescence spectra of ZGN:Cl phosphor and ZGCI:Ni / Ce phosphor at the optimal doping concentration. The fluorescence decay curves of each sample all show a single decay characteristic, proving that there is only a single near-infrared luminescent center in the sample system, and the luminescence mechanism is uniform and stable. Figure 4 b shows a comparison of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of ZGN:Cl phosphor and ZGCI:Ni / Ce phosphor at the optimal doping concentration. The test results show that Ce 4+ After doping is introduced, it can interact with Ni in the crystal lattice. 2+ Significant interactions are generated, effectively regulating lattice defects and electronic states, thereby optimizing the luminescence performance of the sample.

[0153] Figure 5 This is a comparison of the luminescence intensity and quantum efficiency of mono-doped and co-doped samples at the optimal doping concentration of this invention. The excitation wavelength was 380 nm. Figure 5 a represents the luminescence intensity spectrum of the ZGCI:Ni single-doped phosphor with the optimal doping concentration, showing an internal quantum efficiency of 18.25% and an external quantum yield of 7.01%. Figure 5 b shows the luminescence intensity spectrum of the ZGCI:Ni / Ce co-doped phosphor with the optimal doping concentration, where the internal quantum efficiency is increased to 46.69% and the external quantum yield to 8.94%. Comparison shows that Ce... 4+ Co-doping modification can significantly improve the internal and external quantum yields of Ni-based phosphors and greatly optimize the near-infrared luminescence performance of the samples.

[0154] Figure 6 This document presents X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements and peak fitting diagrams of the O1s characteristic peaks for a series of samples from this invention, used to characterize the variation of oxygen vacancy content in the sample lattice.

Test analysis shows that single Ca... 2+ In 3+ The doped system sample has a high lattice oxygen vacancy content, while the introduction of Ce 4+ Ni 2+Co-doping can effectively reduce the oxygen vacancy concentration in the system, reduce defect quenching centers, and improve the luminescence efficiency of the phosphor.

[0155] Figure 7 The temperature-dependent fluorescence spectrum and thermal activation energy fitting test spectrum of the sample with the optimal doping concentration of this invention are used to characterize the thermally stable luminescence performance of the sample. Among them, Figure 7 a is a temperature-varying fluorescence spectrum and luminescence intensity comparison diagram of ZGN:Cl phosphor and ZGCI:Ni / Ce phosphor with optimal doping concentration at different temperatures. In the low temperature range of 98K-245K, the samples of the present invention and the comparative samples both have excellent thermoluminescence stability, and some comparative samples also exhibit reverse thermal quenching characteristics. Figure 7 b shows the fitted spectra of the thermal activation energies of the two samples, which are 0.21 eV and 0.25 eV, respectively. Analysis shows that the reverse thermal quenching performance of the samples is due to the release of trapped photogenerated carriers by lattice oxygen vacancies after the temperature reaches the activation energy threshold, which compensates for the luminescence loss caused by thermal quenching and ensures the luminescence stability of the samples over a wide temperature range.

[0156] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the crystal field theory analysis and near-infrared luminescence mechanism of the phosphor of this invention. Wherein, Figure 8 a is the Tanabe-Sugano energy level diagram constructed based on the sample composition, which confirms that the phosphor system of the present invention is in a medium crystal field strength and has the theoretical basis for broadband near-infrared emission; Figure 8 Figure b shows a schematic diagram of the energy level transitions and luminescence mechanism of the ZGCI:Ni / Ce co-doped phosphor.

Figure 9 Image a is a photograph of a fruit under visible light. Figure 9 b is a photograph of a human hand under visible light. Figure 9 c is a near-infrared image of fruit taken using the LED light source and near-infrared camera of this invention. Figure 9 Image d shows a near-infrared image of a human hand taken using the LED light source and near-infrared camera of this invention. The imaging results show that, relying on the near-infrared luminescence characteristics of the phosphor of this invention, the internal structure of fruits and details of deep tissues such as subcutaneous blood vessels in the human body can be clearly captured, with excellent imaging effects. This proves that the material of this invention can be applied to technical fields such as non-destructive testing of fruits and medical near-infrared imaging.

Figure 10 a represents the photoluminescence intensity variation curve of the device under different currents. The luminescence intensity of the device shows a positive increasing trend with the increase of the driving current, and the luminescence response is stable. Figure 10 b is the curve showing the change of device output power and photoelectric conversion efficiency with driving current. The device output power is positively correlated with the input driving current, and the output light power can be continuously increased as the current increases. The device photoelectric conversion efficiency is negatively correlated with the driving current, which is consistent with the photoelectric characteristics of conventional solid-state light-emitting devices. The overall device has stable working performance and strong practicality.
