In the recent years, Mn4+-doped phosphors for indoor plant cultivation have received extensive concern owing to the far-red emission that can match well with the absorption spectra of plant pigments. Whereas, many Mn4+-doped phosphors still face some challenges such as poor light efficiency and low thermal stability. It is an effective way to resolve these problems via cation vacancies engineering. Herein, the Ca14-xAl10Zn6-yO35: Mn4+ phosphors are successfully synthesized by combustion method. The luminescence intensity of Ca14-xAl10Zn6-yO35: Mn4+ phosphor is enhanced through engineering Ca2+...
