Graphical abstract: Graphical abstract (with Research highlights). This is a paragraph for graphical abstract. Research highlights: {yields} Synthesis of BAM:Eu{sup 2+} by MISCS using different fuel to oxidizer molar ratios. {yields} Both blue and red phosphors were obtained. {yields} Majority of blue phosphors was obtained for fuel-rich synthesis. {yields} A specific morphology was observed for each contribution. -- Abstract: Blue-emitting Eu{sup 2+}-doped barium magnesium aluminate (BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+}) for advanced displays and lighting devices was prepared by a microwave induced solution combustion synthesis using urea as combustion fuel and nitrates as oxidizer. Purity control of as-synthesized blue phosphor particles was undertaken by modifying the fuel to oxidizer molar ratio. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and photoluminescence were used to investigate powders crystallinity, particles size, morphology and luminescent properties, respectively. Fuel-rich urea reactions preferentially lead to pure phases compared to the powders synthesized with a stoichiometric fuel to oxidizer ratio. In both cases, we produce a nearly pure well-crystallized and nanostructured BaMgAl{sub 10}O{sub 17}:Eu{sup 2+}. Photoluminescence measurements exhibit the characteristic blue emission of Eu{sup 2+} under UV light excitation however a weak red emission associated to Eu{sup 3+} is also detected.
