Abstract: CaBPO5;RE(RE=Eu,Tb) phosphors were synthesized by hydrothermal method under a mild condition. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and luminescence spectrometer, etc.. Photoluminescence characteristics of the rare earth ions and sensitization of Ce3+ were investigated and compared with that of products prepared by solid state reaction at a high temperature. The results show that Eu3+, Tb3+ and Eu2+ co-exist in one matrix because there is an electron transfer process between Eu3+and Tb3+. It is interesting that the emission spectrum is peaked at 428 nm for Eu2+ in CaBPO5;Eu,Tb prepared by hydrothermal method. Sensitization of Ce3+ improves the intensity of emission of Eu3+, Tb3+ and Eu2+. The reasons maybe are the competitions between the electron transfer among conjugate rare earth ions and the energy transfer between Ce3+ and Eu3+, Eu2+ and Tb3+.
