Bi3+, and doped Sc0.73Y0.2VO4: phosphors were synthesized by solid state reaction at 1200 °C. The structure, morphology and luminescence properties were investigated. The synthesized phosphors show narrow particle distribution with average size around 2 μm. Under 365 nm excitation, integrate emission intensity increases after doping with Bi3+, and cf44888e4bd3b511cb6">. The optimal doping concentrations are 1%, 20%, 10% for Bi3+, and , respectively. The thermal stability is greatly improved, especially for doped sample, whose intensity is about 92% of its original intensity even at 200 °C.
