Hydrothermal synthesis and characteristics of anions-doped calcium molybdate red powder phosphors

- Four anion-doped CaMoO4:Eu3+ red phosphors were prepared by hydrothermal approach.
- Some samples exhibit nearly spherical morphology and well-distributed fine particles.
- The red luminescence can be obviously enhanced after certain amount of anion doping.
- The improved phosphor system is a potential candidate for white LED applications.
