Phosphor, white light illumiantion device and solar cell utilizing the same

Abstract

The invention provides phosphors composed of Eu(1-x)MaxMg(1-y)MbyAl(10-z)MczO17, wherein Ma is Yb, SN, Pb, Ce, Tb, Dy, Pr, Ca, Sr, Ba, or combinations thereof, and 0≦x≦0.9; Mb is Mn, Zn, or combinations thereof, and 0<y≦0.7; Mc is Ga, In, B, or combinations thereof, and 0≦z≦5. These phosphors emit visible light under the excitation of ultraviolet light or blue light, and these phosphors may be further collocated with different color phosphors to provide a white light illumination device. Alternatively, the phosphors of the invention can improve the efficient utilization of the light in solar cell.
