TL;DR: This review will survey recent progress in the development of spectral converters, with a particular emphasis on lanthanide-based upconversion, quantum-cutting and down-shifting materials, for PV applications, and present technical challenges that arise in developing cost-effective high-performance solar cells based on these luminescent materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the recent progress made in the fields of UV-visible quantum cutting (QC) and the mechanism involved, including QC in single RE ion activated fluorides- and oxides-based phosphors, energy transfer and downconversion, QC in dual/ternary ions activated phosphors; and NIR QC in RE3+-Yb3+ (RE=Tb, Tm, and Pr) dual ions doped phosphors via cooperative energy transfer.

TL;DR: The development of high-performance red-emitting phosphors provides new opportunities for fabricating white LEDs with both high colour rendering index and high luminous efficacy as discussed by the authors, which can be used to improve the performance of white LEDs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of novel Eu3+-activated NaBiF4 nanoparticles were synthesized by an ultra-fast chemical precipitate method at room temperature.

TL;DR: A series of Eu 3+ -activated CaW 1- x Mo x O 4 red-emitting phosphors were prepared through a high-temperature solid-state reaction route to study the influence of molybdenum ions doping on the luminescent performances of CaWO 4 :Eu 3 + phosphor.
