Influence of sulfuretted temperature on the luminescent properties of Y2O2S:Eu3+, Mg2+, Ti4+ nanoarrays

► Y2O2S: Eu3+,Mg2+,Ti4+ nanaotube arrays with highly order and uniform size were successfully synthesized. ► The mixture of carbon powder and sulfer powder was used for sulfuration. ► Good morphology and properties of Y2O2S: Eu3+,Mg2+,Ti4+ nanaotube arrays were presented.
