Inorganic hosts, such as SrB<sub>4</sub> O<sub>7</sub> or certain nitrides, intrinsically stabilize Eu<sup>2+</sup> even when the dopant is an Eu<sup>3+</sup> -based precursor and reducing conditions are not employed in the synthesis. Although this concept is well known in the synthesis of phosphorescent materials, the mechanistic details are scarcely understood. Herein, we demonstrate that trapped charge carriers, such as color centers, can also act as redox partners to stabilize certain oxidat ...[more]
