Synthesis and optical properties of a LiCaY(MoO4)3:Eu3+ red phosphor with negligible concentration quenching for highly efficient white LED and plant growth applications

, and a CRI value of 72 was obtained, with a CCT of 7986 K and CIE coordinates of (0.29, 0.30). A deep orange-red LED was fabricated using the red phosphor and a near-UV LED to cover the phytochrome spectra for plant growth application.
