The powder samples of Ca9Sc(PO4)7:xDy3+white emitting phosphors were prepared via a solid state reaction technique. The Ca9Sc(PO4)7:Dy3+samples were researched by using the GSAS Rietveld refinement and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods, and SEM images and elemental maps were recorded. Under 350 nm excitation, the emission spectra of Ca9Sc(PO4)7:xDy3+samples have two obvious peaks and one weak peak at 484, 572 and 660 nm, corresponding to the characteristic electron transitions of (4F9/2→ 6H15/2, blue), (4F9/2→ 6H13/2, yellow) and (4F9/2→6H11/2, red), respectively. The concentration quenching effect, decay lifetime and thermal quenching of the as-synthesized Ca9Sc(PO4)7:Dy3+ samples were researched systematically. The Ca9Sc(PO4)7:0.02Dy3+phosphor possesses a good thermal stability, of which the emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 79％of the initial value (273 K). In addition, through the study of the chromaticity coordinates of the Ca9Sc(PO4)7:0.02Dy3+phosphor, it is found that it is located in the white region, and the Commission Internationalede L'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates are (0.339, 0.389). The above results show that Ca9Sc(PO4)7:xDy3+ phosphors can be excellent candidate material for applications in NUV-excited white LEDs.
