Mesoporous Aluminum Hydroxide Synthesized by a Single‐Source Precursor‐Decomposition Approach as a High‐Quantum‐Yield Blue Phosphor for UV‐Pumped White‐Light‐Emitting Diodes

Strongly emissive (photoluminescence quantum yield up to 65%), thermally stable aluminum hydroxide blue phosphors are synthesized by a single-source precursor-decomposition approach. Blue-emitting UV-pumped light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on the aluminum hydroxide phosphor reach luminous efficiency of 27.5 lm W−1, while UV-white-LEDs integrating blue-emitting aluminum hydroxide and red-emitting CuInS2 nanocrystals achieve high color-rendering-index values of 94.3 and luminous efficiency of 23.5 lm W−1.
