A groundbreaking strategy for fabricating YAG:Ce3+ transparent ceramic films via sintering of LRH nanosheets on a sapphire substrate.

Here, we proposed a groundbreaking strategy for fabricating YAG:Ce³⁺ transparent ceramic films via a novel interface reaction of LRH nanosheets with a sapphire substrate without a tedious process. The incorporation of Gd³⁺ greatly enhanced the emission intensity of the ceramic film by ∼11.3 times. The prepared transparent ceramic film with a high transmittance of ∼97% is a promising photo-converter for WLEDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
