High-power white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) comprising binderless bulk phosphors and ultraviolet (UV) LED chips as next-generation illumination sources were intensively studied. The main challenge is the effective management of different color components in each suitable crystal phase while maximizing their optical properties with near-UV excitation. In this regard, we developed glass-ceramics that contain Na5Gd9F32 and NaAlSiO4, in which the phase-selective distribution of Eu3+ and Eu2+ results in warm white-light emission with a low correlated color temperature (CCT) (< 3000 K), high color rendering index (Ra > 70), and promising thermal stability. The obtained composite exhibits broadband photoluminescence (PL) around the blue-green (NaAlSiO4:Eu2+) and red (Na5Gd9F32:Eu3+) spectral regions. Up to 573 K, the PL intensity remains above 50% of that at room temperature (RT). The internal PL quantum yield was estimated as 35%. Further, a thermal-aging test was conducted for 1000 h at 573 K, after which the sample exhibited 70.7% of the initial PL intensity at RT and showed stability in the chromaticity coordinate for a warm white range. This study, which exhibits potential for practical applications, provides a strategy for the generation of a warm white-light color with Eu2+ and Eu3+ in oxide and fluoride phases in combination with UV LEDs.
