Enhanced orange-red emission by using Mo codoped in Ba2CaWO6: Eu3+, Li+ phosphor under near UV excitation

► The samples form solid solutions when Mo is added into Ba2CaWO6: Eu3+, Li+ phosphors. ► Addition of Mo in Ba2CaWO6: Eu3+, Li+ shifts the PLE spectra maximum from UV region to near UV region. ► In Ba2CaMoxW1−xO6:Eu3+, Li+, the most efficient concentrations occur at 0.1 and 0.2 for Eu and Mo.
