Nanostructuration of YAG:Ce Coatings by ZnO Nanowires: A Smart Way to Enhance Light Extraction Efficiency

Résumé

In this study, we report on the enhancement of the light extraction efficiency of sol–gel-derived Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) coatings using ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays. The ZnO NWs were grown by hydrothermal synthesis from a ZnO seed layer directly deposited on a YAG:Ce coating. Highly dense and vertically aligned ZnO NW arrays were evidenced on the top of the YAG:Ce coating by electron microscopy. A photoluminescence study showed that this original design leads to a different angular distribution of light together with an increase in emission efficiency of the YAG:Ce coating upon blue excitation, up to 60% more efficient compared to a non-structured YAG:Ce coating (without NWs). These improvements are ascribed to multi-scattering events for photons within the structure, allowing them to escape from the phosphor layer by taking optical paths different from those of the non-structured coating. This strategy of light extraction enhancement appears to be very promising, since it uses soft chemical processes and cheap ZnO NWs and is applicable to any sol–gel-derived luminescent coating.
