ABSTRACT
The tetravalent-state stability of manganese is of primary importance for Mn4+ luminescence. Double perovskite-structured A2B'Bâ³O6Mn4+ has been recently prevalent, and the manganese ions are assumed to substitute for the Bâ³(IV-VI)O6 site to stabilize at the tetravalent charge state to generate far-red emissions. However, some Mn-doped A2B'Bâ³O6-type materials show no or weak luminescence such as typical Ca2MgWO6Mn. In this work, a cation-pair co-substitution strategy is proposed to replace 2Ca2+ by Na+-La3+ to form Ca2-2xNaxLaxMgWO6Mn. The significant structural distortion appears in the solid solution lattices with the contraction of [MgO6] but enlargement of [WO6] octahedron. We hypothesize that the site occupancy preference of Mn migrates from Mg2+ to W6+ sites. As a result, the effective Mn4+/Mn2+ concentration enhances remarkably to regulate nonluminescence to highly efficient Mn4+-related far-red emission. The optimal CaNa0.5La0.5MgWO60.9%Mn4+ shows an internal quantum efficiency of 94% and external quantum efficiency of 82%, reaching up to the top values in Mn4+-doped oxide phosphors. This work may provide a new perspective for the rational design of Mn4+-activated red phosphors, primarily considering the site occupancy modification and tetravalent-state stability of Mn.
