Using functional phosphors that have a range of benefits, such as quick response to n-UV/blue light excitation, high quantum efficiency and low thermal quenching is crucial. In this work, we have utilized the traditional high-temperature solid-state reaction to synthesized Ce3+, Tb3+ single- and co-doped KBaBP2O8 (KBBPO) phosphors. The phase purity, crystal structure, surface morphology, decay behavior, thermal stability, the luminescence properties and energy transfer process from Ce3+ to Tb3+ were investigated in details. Due to the Ce3+ can adequately sensitize Tb3+, the co-doped phosphors ...
