The tunable emission color phosphors Ba3Gd(PO4)3: Ce3+, Mn2+were synthesized by conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The photoluminescence properties and energy transfer (ET) of the Ce3+and Mn2+co-doped Ba3Gd(PO4)3phosphors were studied systematically. Through an efficient energy-transfer process, the obtained phosphors show both dual-emission including a ultraviolet (UV) to blue emission originating from Ce3+and a reddish-orange emission from Mn2+under UV excitation (~310 nm) with considerable intensity. When the Ce3+doping content is fixed at 0.05, the emission color tone can be adjusted from blue through reddish-purple and ultimately to red region by tuning the contents of Mn2+from 0.01 to 0.5. The critical distance between Ce3+and Mn2+was calculated to be 12.23 Å. The concentration quenching of Mn2+was experimentally found to be 0.3. The energy-transfer efficiency was discussed and the ET mechanism between Ce3+and Mn2+ions was proved to be dipole–dipole interaction. The Ce3+and Mn2+co-doped Ba3Gd(PO4)3phosphors are potential UV-convertible candidates in UV white-light LEDs for the energy transfer from Ce3+to Mn2+ions.
