Abstract: Addressing the urgent demand for high color rendering index and low color temperature single-phase phosphor for near-ultraviolet-excited white light emitting diode (WLED), this study proposed a novel color-tunable phosphor system based on MgY2Si3O10 host co-doped with Bi3+and Eu3+. A series of MgY2Si3O10∶0.02Bi3+, mEu3+ (m=0~0.22) samples were successfully synthesized via the high-temperature solid-state method. Their phase structure and luminescence properties were systematically characterized. The results indicate that Bi3+ occupies two distinct crystallographic sites in the host lattice, exhibiting a dual-peak broad-band emission under 344 nm excitation, while Eu3+ displays characteristic red emission. Through spectral overlap analysis and fluorescence lifetime test, it is confirmed that there is efficient energy transfer (ET) from Bi3+ to Eu3+, with its efficiency increasing with Eu3+ doping concentration and reaching a maximum of approximately 65%. The critical energy transfer distance (RC) is calculated to be about 13.2 ? based on the concentration quenching model and the primary ET mechanism is electric dipole-electric quadrupole (d-q) interaction. By adjusting the Eu3+ doping concentration, continuous tuning of the emission color is successfully achieved, ranging from blue through white to red. The white emission exhibits chromaticity coordinates of (0.333,0.306), a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5 419 K, a general color rendering index (Ra) of approximately 85.6, as well as good thermal stability. This study provides systematic experimental and theoretical foundations for the development of high-performance, color-tunable phosphor materials for WLED applications.
