Synthesis of Sulfide-based Phosphors by Multiply Combined Methods Based Upon Inorganic Chemistry

We developed a panel of innovative solution-based approaches for synthesis of multicomponent sulfide phosphor materials. The application of these synthesis strategies allowed for preparation of high-purity and high-brightness $BaAl_2S_4:Eu$ and $Ba_2SiS_4:Eu$ phosphors and led to the discovery of new phosphors suitable for application in the LED-based lighting including $Sr_2ZnS_3:Eu$, $CaBaSiS_4:Eu$ and $(Ba,Sr)_2ZnS_3:Eu$.
