Temperature dependent radioluminescence under X-ray excitation (XRL) and luminescence decay time measurements following 430 nm laser excitation have been performed in the 10–775 K range on Gd2O2S:Pr3+,Ce3+ scintillating ceramics. From 200 K to both low and high temperature, XRL light yield decreases by 60%. High temperature luminescence quenching has been revisited. Temperature dependent lifetime measurements imply non-radiative de-excitation mechanism at electronic defects spatially correlated to Pr3+ emitting ions. At low temperatures, decreasing XRL light yield with irradiation time is linked to very intense thermoluminescence (TL) peak around 120 K ascribed to sulfur vacancies. These traps cause efficient electron trapping which competes with the prompt recombination mechanism.
► Pr3+ luminescence is quenched at high temperatures.
► Luminescence mechanisms are studied.
► Gd2O2S ceramics contain a large amount of electronic defects.
