Synthesis and luminescence properties of Mn-doped Cs2KBiCl6 double perovskite phosphors

Novel lead-free double perovskite phosphors of Mn-doped Cs2KBiCl6 (Cs2KBiCl6:Mn2+) have been facilely synthesized by using typical hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and photoluminescence measurements confirm that the synthesized Cs2KBiCl6:Mn2+ phosphors behave double perovskite structure, good morphology, excellent stability, and superior optical properties. An optimal doping concentration of Mn/Bi = 0.4 is achieved in Cs2KBiCl6:Mn2+ phosphors, showing maximum photoluminescence quantum yield of 87.2
