CaS:Eu2+phosphors were prepared by two steps method at a relatively low temperature (1050°C) using NH4Cl as a flux. The influences of NH4Cl flux concentrations on the crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescent properties of CaS:Eu2+phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence (PL), respectively. XRD analysis shows that when the raw materials added with the NH4Cl flux, the crystal structure was not changed .The SEM images indicate that increase of the NH4Cl flux enlarged the grain size of the phosphor particles. The luminescence intensity of CaS:Eu2+was enhanced with adding NH4Cl flux and up to the maximum emission intensity when the addition of NH4Cl flux is 1wt%.
