New vanadate-phosphate phosphors for lighting application

In this study, we report the room temperature synthesis and luminescence properties of white-light-emitting Rb(V,P)$O_3$. The vanadate phosphor, RbV$O_3$, was synthesized by simple mixing of $RbCO_3$ and $V_2O_5$ at room temperature in air. New direct room temperature solidstate reaction is a cost-effective method to synthesize the above luminescent materials.
