Ba2SiO3Cl2:Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphor was synthesized by high-temperature solid state reaction at 900~1200°C in a slightly
reducing atmosphere for 2.0~8.0 hours. The raw materials were the mixture of BaCO3, SiO2, MnCO3, NH4Cl, and Eu2O3
in the mol ratio of 3, 2, 0.004, 2 and 0.02. Ba2SiO3Cl2:Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphor's absorption and luminescence spectra were
studied. The results indicated that the emission band consists of three peaks located at 425 nm, 492nm and 608nm,
respectively. The emission peaks at 425 and 492nm originate from the transition 5d→4f of Eu2+ ions that occupy the
two Ba2+ sites in the crystal of Ba2SiO3Cl2, while the 608nm emission is attributed to the energy transfer from Eu2+ ions
to Mn2+ ions. The white light can be obtained by mixing the three emission colors of blue (425 nm), green (492 nm) and
red-orange (608 nm) in the single host. When the concentrations of the Eu2+ ions and Mn2+ ions were 0.02mol and
0.004mol respectively, the sample presented intense white emitting. The excitation spectra of the three emissions
extending from 300 nm to 460 nm indicated that Ba2SiO3Cl2:Eu2+ phosphor can be excitated by InGaN chip UV
emission effectively, and it is a single-phase white phosphor with low-cost and high brightness for white LEDs.
