Red-emitting Eu3+-activated (Y0.95-xAlx)VO4 (0<x≤0.12) nanophosphors with the particle size of ~30nm and thehigh crystallinity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. In the synthetic process, deionized water asa solvent and ethylene glycol as a capping agent were used. The crystalline phase, particle morphology, and thephotoluminescence properties of the excitation spectrum, emission intensity, color coordinates and decay time, of the prepared(Y0.95-xAlx)VO4:Eu3+ nanophosphors were compared with those of the YVO4:Eu3+. Under 147nm excitation, (Y0.95-xAlx)VO4nanophosphors showed strong red luminescence due to the 5D0-7F2 transition of Eu3+ at 619nm. The luminescence intensityof YVO4:Eu3+ enhanced with partial substitution of Al3+ for Y3+ and the maximum emission intensity was accomplished at theAl3+ content of 10mol%. By the addition of Al3+, decay time of the (Y,Al)VO4:Eu3+ nanophosphor was decreased in comparisonwith that of the YVO4:Eu3+ nanophosphor. Also, the substitution of Al3+ for Y3+ invited the improvement of color coordinatesdue to the increase of R/O ratio in emission intensity. For the formation of transparent layer, the red nanophosphors werefabricated to the paste with ethyl celluloses, anhydrous terpineol, ethanol and deionized water. By screen printing method, atransparent red phosphor layer was formed onto a glass substrate from the paste. The transparent red phosphor layer exhibitedthe red emission at 619nm under 147nm excitation and the transmittance of ~80% at 600nm.
