Blue-violet light can not only enhance the total content of biomass and glucoside but also enrich the taste of the fruit. Thus, it is meaningful to study the blue-violet luminescent materials for plant cultivation. In this study, titanium (IV) -activated CaYAlO4 (CYAO) phosphors were synthesized by conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction was employed to analyze the crystal-structure of CYAO. It is found that the doped Ti4+ ions do not change obviously the crystal structure of phosphors. Upon 246 nm excitation, CaYAl1-xO4:xTi(4+) phosphors exhibit broad blue...
