Ce3+/Eu2+ doped SrSc2O4 phosphors were synthesized by a solid state reaction. The phase and luminescent properties of the synthesized phosphors were investigated. In SrSc2O4 host, Ce3(+/)Eu(2+) substitute Sr2+ sites and form the solid solution. Ce3+/Eu2+ singly doped SrSc2O4 phosphors respectively show emission band locating in green and deep red regions and the emission peaks shift to longer wavelength with the increasing concentration due to the enhancements of crystal field. In Ce3+/Eu2+ codoped SrSc2O4 phosphors, the intensities of Ce3+ and Eu2+ emissions change with the changing Eu2+ concentrations due to energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu2+. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
