Enhancement of luminescence properties of Zn(W–Mo)O4:Eu3+ red phosphors by co-doped charge compensators A+(Li+, Na+, K+)

Using a convenient high-temperature solid-state method, a novel Zn(W–Mo)O4 red phosphor co-doped with alkaline metal ions and Eu3+ was successfully synthesized. The effects of doping with one charge-compensating agent and mixed multiple charge-compensating agents on the phase composition, crystal structure, crystallinity and luminescence properties of phosphors were studied. Using a theoretical study, the crystal environment around the Eu3+ ion...
