A series of emission color tunable Ce3+, Tb3+, and Eu3+ co-doped La2Si2O7 (LSO) phosphors have been prepared via a solid state reaction. The crystal structure, luminescence properties, and thermal stability of the phosphors were studied in this paper. There exists two kinds of energy transfer (ET) modes under UV excitation, namely, electric dipole-dipole interaction for Ce3+-> Tb3+ and terbium bridge model [Ce3+-> (Tb3+)(n)-> Eu3+] for LSO:Ce3+,Tb3+,Eu3+ system. The emitting color of the phosphors can be tuned from green to yellow and eventually to orange-red through the Ce3+-> Tb3+-> Eu3+ energy transfer. Although codoping Tb3+ and Eu3+ into La2Si2O7:Ce3+ leads to the reduction of thermal stability, it still remains 80% for LSO:0.05Ce(3+),0.8 Tb3+,0.02Eu(3+) at 150 degrees C when compared to that at room temperature. The absolute quantum yield (QY) increases from 71.04% (LSO:0.05Ce(3+)) to 95.60% (LSO:0.05Ce(3+), 0.6 Tb3+), while those of LSO:0.05Ce(3+),yTb(3+),0.02Eu(3+) samples remain more than 70%. These results indicate that the phosphors can be candidates for application in phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs). (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
