A series of Tm3+ and/or Eu3+ doped Ca9Gd(VO4)7 single composition phosphors were synthesized by a solid state reaction method, and their luminescence properties were investigated. Tm3+ and Eu3+ co-doped Ca9Gd(VO4)7 phosphors showed a blue with the peak at 477 nm and red with the stronger peak at 620 nm dual emission bands under the UV excitation, which originates from the f-f transitions of Tm3+ and Eu3+ ions, respectively. The energy transfer from O2--V5+ CT (charge transfer) energy to Tm3+ and Eu3+ ions as well as the energy transfer from Tm3+ to Eu3+ ions were investigated. The photoluminescence intensity ratio of blue and red emission could be tuned by adjusting the concentration of Tm3+ and Eu3+ ions and as a result the emission color varies from blue to white to red. The white-light emission is realized in single phased phosphor of Ca9Gd(VO4)7:Tm3+, Eu3+ by combining the Tm3+-emission and the Eu3+-emission.
