Preparation and Luminescent Properties of Na5Eu(MoO4)4-x(PO4)x Red Phosphors for White Light-Emitting Diodes Application

(PO4)3- -doped red phosphors, Na5Eu(MoO4)4-x(PO4)x (x ≤ 0.10), were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method, and their luminescent properties were studied. Under the excitation of near-UV 395 nm, the phosphors show intense red emission. In particular, the relative emission intensity of Na5Eu(MoO4)3.96(PO4)0.04 sample reaches about 5.0 times in comparison with that of the commercial red phosphor Y2O2S:Eu3+. The phosphor could be suitable for the application of white light-emitting diodes.
