A series of Bi3+ and Mn4+ co-activated Ca14Al10Zn6O35 (CAZO) phosphors were synthesized using a solid state sintering method. The phase and morphologies of the CAZO based phosphors were confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. A novel phosphor CAZO:Bi3+ emits bright blue light under near-ultraviolet (NUV) excitation and its luminescence properties were characterized by diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectra. Tunable luminescence from blue to red was observed in Bi3+ and Mn4+ co-activated CAZO, which is attributed to energy transfer from Bi3+ to Mn4+. The energy transfer mechanism has been characterized by the decay times of the Bi3+ emission, which changes with the concentration of Mn4+. The energy transfer efficiency from Bi3+ to Mn4+ increases linearly with increasing the concentration of Mn4+. The as-obtained phosphor has a potential application in agricultural industry because the blue and red lights excited by NUV light emitting diodes (LEDs) are helpful for the improvement of photosynthesis.
