A novel white-light-emitting phosphor CaAl₂Si₂O₈:Tm, Dy was synthesized in ambient atmosphere by solid-state reaction. The energy transfer from Tm³⁺ to Dy³⁺ ions via a dipole–quadrupole reaction was observed and investigated. Upon UV excitation, white light emission was achieved by integrating a blue emission band located at 455 nm and an orange one located at 574 nm attributed to Tm³⁺ and Dy³⁺ ions, respectively. In addition, the energy-transfer efficiency and critical distance were calculated. Results suggested that the phosphor might be promising as a single-phased white-light-emitting phosphor for UV white-light LED. - Graphical abstract: The results indicate the existence of energy transfer from Tm³⁺ to Dy³⁺. By tuning the concentration of Dy³⁺, single-phased white light can be realized. Highlights: • Energy transfer from Tm³⁺ to Dy³⁺ was investigated. • Color tunable from blue to white can be achieved. • White light can be realized in CaAl₂Si₂O₈:Tm³⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphor.
