Abstract: Lanthanide ion doped inorganic nanocrystals featured great attention due to their unique optical property and it can be employed to make optoelectronic devices. Metal tungstates and its derivatives are (RWO4, R = Ca, Sr, Ba) excellent host materials in various optical application. In this work, we have studied the structural and photo physical analogue of Eu3+ activated CaWO4 nanophosphors via Lithium (Li+ = 2, 5, 7 and 10 at.%) ion incorporation. As-prepared (APS) samples were annealed at 900 oC to eliminate unwanted organic moieties present in the sample and to improve crystallinity. The samples are characterized employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-VIS spectroscopy, photoluminescence studies and lifetime decay studies. FTIR features an absorption band at ~832 cm-1, which correspond to its antisymmetric vibrations into O-W-O band in the WO42- tetrahedron. CaWO4 having the scheelite type structure with C4h point group and I41/a space group. The surface morphology of the samples are studied with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Lithium Co-doped CaWO4:Eu3+ nanoparticles show red luminescence because of strong host contribution and different energy transfer rates from host to Eu3+ ions under 266 nm excitations. Lithium ion enhances the crystallinity and radiative transition rate thus results in higher emissive property. Calculated CIE coordinates of these Li+ doped 900 oC annealed samples under 266 nm excitation is x = 0.65 & y = 0.34, which are closer to the standard of NTSC (x = 0.67 & y = 0.33). This material may be potential candidates for white light emitting diodes.
