Green phosphors are essential for producing bright, energy-efficient white-light LEDs, powering everything from smartphones to streetlights. Traditionally, these phosphors rely on garnet structures, but researchers in Austria and Germany have discovered a new class of lithium-based green phosphors that could rival—and potentially replace—today’s commercial standard.
