Near-infrared phosphor has shown an important application prospect in the fields of living organism imaging. However, the near-infrared phosphor for organism imaging has some bottleneck problems such as a lack of variety and poor thermal stability. Broadband near-infrared Ca₄HfGe₃O₁₂∶xCr³⁺ (0≤x≤0.09) phosphors were synthesized by the solid phase method. X-ray diffraction and energy spectrum analysis showed that Cr³⁺ ions successfully entered the Ca₄HfGe₃O₁₂ crystal lattice. Upon 469 nm excitation, Ca₄HfGe₃O₁₂∶xCr³⁺ phosphors presented a width emission band covering 690-1 200 nm (strongest peak of 825 nm for ⁴T₂-⁴A₂, bandwidth of 141 nm) with a fluorescence quantum efficiency of 33.63% (x=0.03), which exhibited good thermal stability, 60.5% of room temperature intensity at 400 K. The excitation peak shape and lifetime decay behavior results showed that Cr³⁺ occupies only one cation sites in the matrix. In addition, the self-made near-infrared phosphor conversion device was used to illuminate the palm of the human hand and the fruit shielded by the 700 nm filter, and the venous vessels and the shelter-fruit outline were clearly observed.
