The red-emitting phosphor CaZnOS:Eu2+ was synthesized from CaCO3, ZnS, Eu2O3 and CeCl3 by controlling the sintering condition. It was found that Ce3+ ions can play a role of reductant to contribute to the formation of Eu2+ in CaZnOS matrix under inert protective atmosphere. While the gas flow changed to H2/N2, the product turned to CaS easily. XRD, photoluminescence spectra, UV-vis and IR absorption spectra were evaluated to investigate the origin of the distinctions of the optical properties and stabilities between the two divalent europium ions doped phosphors CaZnOS:Eu2+ and CaS:Eu2+. The similarities and differences between them were analyzed.
