Here,the luminescence properties of the Er^3+/Sm^3+ co-doped BiOCl phosphors as single-phase phosphors were reported. Upon near ultraviolet excitation(NUV, 380 nm corresponding the ^4 I15/2→ ^4 G11/2 transition of Er^3+ ions), the phosphors exhibit the efficient characteristic emissions of Er^3+ and Sm^3+ ions simultaneously. The energy transfer(ET) from Er^3+ to Sm^3+ ions in the layered crystals has been validated by the variation of emission intensities and decay lifetimes respectively, which is ascribed to be a dipoledipole interaction. By virtue of the ET behavior and increasing Sm^3+ ion concentration, the enhancing emission intensity of Sm^3+ and the tunability of emission color from yellowish-green(0.318, 0.420) to white(0.343, 0.347) are realized. The results of our work indicate that the Er^3+/Sm^3+ co-doped BiOCI phosphor has a promising application serving as single component white emitting phosphors for NUV excited WLEDs.展开更多
