Fluorosilicate glasses and glass-ceramics with MF 2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba), ZnF 2 or LaF 3 components were investigated to host divalent Eu 2+ for photoluminescence (PL) application. X-ray diffraction phase identification and a series of spectroscopic analyses were performed to reveal the relationship between microstructure and the reduction of Eu 3+ → Eu 2+ . The precursor glasses were believed being constituted by silicate-rich phases and fluoride-rich phases, due to the immiscibility of fluoride-and-silicate mixed glass system. After heat treatment, the fluoride-rich glass phases could transform into fluoride crystalline phase in the glass-ceramics. Europium tended to enrich in the fluoride-rich phases in the glasses or in the precipitated fluoride crystalline phases in the glass-ceramics. Small amounts of Eu 3+ were reduced to Eu 2+ in the glasses where the electronegativity had a crucial impact. In contrast, large amounts of Eu 3+ were reduced to Eu 2+ in the glass-ceramics containing MF 2 nanocrystals, where the reduction was determined by lattice site substitution. Using ZnAl 2 O 4 containing glass-ceramics as reference, it was evidenced that the similar and a little larger radii between sites and substitution ions are the prerequisite for Eu 3+ /M 2+ substitution. And using LaF 3 containing glass-ceramics as reference, it was certified that unbalanced charge at substitution sites induce the Eu 3+ → Eu 2+ reduction.
