Uniform SiO{sub 2}-CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} red phosphor has been synthesized by sol-gel method, and its luminescence properties have been studied by fluorescence spectrometer. The structure and morphology of the SiO{sub 2}-CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} red phosphor have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FT-IR spectrometer. Results indicate that phosphor particles have a core-shell structure and the thickness of the SiO{sub 2}-shell is about 60 nm. In addition, the luminescent intensity of SiO{sub 2}-CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} red phosphor has been greatly enhanced with respect to CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} phosphor. But the lifetime {tau} value of SiO{sub 2}-coated CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} is slightly smaller than that of non-coated CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+}. - Graphical abstract: A SiO{sub 2} nano-layer with thickness of 60 nm and good uniformity was successfully coated on the surface of CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} phosphor. This coating greatly increases luminescent intensity of the phosphor. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer SiO{sub 2}-CaMoO{sub 4}:Eu{sup 3+} was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The SiO{sub 2} nano-layer increases luminescent intensity of the phosphor. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The SiO{sub 2} nano-layer reduces fluorescence lifetime of the phosphor.
