Graphical abstract: Display Omitted Research highlights: > The LuAG:Ce{sup 3+} nano-garnet powder has been prepared by Pechini sol-gel method which are found to be agglomerated with an average particle size of 22 nm. > The thermal stability of luminescence under 460 nm excitation of LuAG:Ce{sup 3+} up to 150 deg. C found to be better than YAG:Ce{sup 3+} nano-garnet. > The LuAG:Ce{sup 3+} nano-garnet exhibits stable color co-ordinates with respect to temperature. - Abstract: Ce{sup 3+}-doped lutetium aluminum (LuAG) nano-garnet powder has been prepared by Pechini sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, excitation and photoluminescence spectra and decay measurements. The thermal stability of luminescence of the LuAG:Ce{sup 3+} has been evaluated for the temperature range 25-150 deg. C under the 460 nm excitation. The results indicate that the thermal stability of LuAG:Ce{sup 3+} is better than that of commercially available YAG:Ce{sup 3+} nano-garnet. The CIE chromaticity co-ordinates have been found to remain constant with change in temperature. Hence, it could be an apt candidate for generating white light when coupled to a blue LED.
