Abstract: A red emitting phosphor R2-x(MoO4)3:xEu3+(R=Y, Gd) was synthesized by solid-state reaction. The effects of the sinter temperature, flux content and Eu3+ doping concentration on luminescent properties were studied by XRD and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The results indicated that the Gd0.6(MoO4)3:1.4Eu3+ have two structures, monoclinic in 800℃ and the orthorhombic in 950℃, but there is only the orthorhombic in Y0.2(MoO4)3:1.8Eu3+ preparaed in 800℃ and 1000℃. The intensity will reach the strongest of Gd0.6(MoO4)3:1.4Eu3+ and Y0.2(MoO4)3:1.8Eu3+ when the NH4Cl is the appropriate flux and its most suitable mass fraction is 3%, the sinter temperature is 1000℃ and sinter time is 3 h. The results show that this phosphor can be excited by UV light of 395 nm and blue light of 465 nm, also emit red light at about 612 nm, which attribute to the intrinsic transition from 5D0 to 7F2 of Eu3+. The phosphor may be a better phosphor candidate for solid-state lighting applications.
