A series of Tm 3+ -and Dy 3+ -codoped LiLa(MoO 4 ) X (WO 4 ) 2-X phosphors were prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction method. It was discovered that both the optimum single doped concentration of Tm 3+ and Dy 3+ are 0.04 for LiLa(WO 4 ) 2 host, LiLa(WO 4 ) 2 :0.04Tm 3+ and LiLa(WO 4 ) 2 :0.04Dy 3+ will emit blue and yellow light, respectively. On the other hand, the emission colors of Tm 3+ -and Dy 3+ -codoped LiLa(WO 4 ) 2 could be tuned from blue to white through tuning the 10 energy transfer. With increasing the Dy 3+ doped concentration, the energy transfer efficiency of LiLa(WO 4 ) 2 :0.005Tm 3+ ,yDy 3+ increased gradually and reached as high as 88% when the concentration of Dy 3+ is 0.05. The energy transfer from Tm 3+ to Dy 3+ was revealed to be resonant type via the quadrupolequadrupole mechanism. As for the LiLa(MoO 4 ) X (WO 4 ) 2-X :0.005Tm 3+ ,0.03Dy 3+ phosphors, both the emission intensity of Tm 3+ and Dy 3+ were found to reach a maximum when the molar ratio of Mo/W is 15 0:2. In addition, with increasing the proportion of MoO 4 2-, the location of the chromaticity coordinates changed from the edge to the center of the white area. The chromaticity coordinate when the relative ratio of Mo/W is 2:0 was much closer to the standard chromaticity coordinate for white. The results indicate that these phosphors may have potential applications in the fields of UV-excited white light-emitting diodes.
