The microstructure, white-light emission, and light-emitting mechanism of the powders were carefully studied using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectra. The excitation and emission spectra of the phosphor powders indicated the coexistence of efficient energy transfer from Eu3+ to Dy3+ and inefficient en-ergy transfer from Dy3+ to Eu3+ besides the energy transfer from VO43– to Eu3+. Increasing the Eu3+ concentration initially enhanced and then weakened the luminescent intensity of Dy3+. The white-light emissions of YVO4:1 mol.%Dy3+,xmol.%Eu3+ phosphor pow-ders were both related to the energy transfer between VO43– and Dy3+/Eu3+, as well as between Eu3+ and Dy3+.
