NaY1-xTbx(WO4)2 green phosphors have been synthesized by a facile combustion method. The structure, morphology and luminescence properties of as-synthesized phosphors were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence spectra, and decay curve. The XRD results indicate that as-synthesized phosphors exhibit sheelite-type structure without any impurity phase. The as-obtained phosphors emit strong green light centered at 546 nm under ultraviolet light excitation. The lifetimes are about 0.57 ms. The excellent luminescence properties make it a new promising green phosphor for fluorescent lamps application.
