•A series of SC:0.01Eu3+ materials with different charge compensators were synthesized and further investigated by EDS, XPS, XRD and Rietveld refinements to verify the purity.•The effects of charge compensators on optical features were systematically studied via the reflectance and photoluminescence spectra.•The anionic charge compensators, especially F−, greatly enhanced photoluminescence properties, which may provide a novel method to synthesize and improve phosphors.
Presently enormous interest in the modification of photoluminescence properties of Sr2CeO4:Eu3+ with charge compensators has been stimulated. Here we report the effect of charge compensators on optical characteristic of Sr2CeO4:Eu3+ synthesized by altering types of charge compensators and propose the possible explanation. The conclusion is made that anionic charge compensators, especially F−, may provide a novel approach to the development and improvement of the phosphors.
