Abstract: Whitlockite is an excellent luminescent material. It has lower synthesis temperature and an abundance of adjustable crystal lattice.Ca1.8Li0.6La0.6-x(PO4)2xEu3+ (x=0,0.01,0.03,0.06,0.09,0.15) was synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction at 1 250 ℃, and its structure and luminescent properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that the phosphors belongs to whitlockite structure, and the doping of Eu3+ does not change the structure to a great extent. The phosphor in the system emits red light, and the characteristic emission of Eu3+ appears in the emission spectrum. The strongest emission peak locates at 617 nm and comes from 5D07F2 transition of Eu3+. As the concentration of Eu3+ increases, the fluorescence lifetime decreases, which proves the existence of energy transfer between Eu3+.

Key words: whitlockite, high temperature solid state method, photoluminescent property, phosphate luminescence material, red light, Eu3+ doping
