Graphical abstract: The phosphor has two separated emission centers with the dependent emission intensity on Eu{sup 2+} doping. There is a red-shift in the emission due to energy transfer with increasing the Eu{sup 2+}-doping. - Highlights: • Green-origin-emitting phosphors of Eu{sup 2+}-doped Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16} were firstly prepared by chemical sol–gel method. • The tunable luminescence color was realized by the changing Eu{sup 2+}-doping in Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16}. • Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16}:Eu{sup 2+} displays two typical luminescence centers with the emission depending on Eu{sup 2+} doping. • Eu{sup 2+}-doped Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16} phosphor has an excellent thermal stability on the temperature quenching. - Abstract: Color tunable green-origin-emitting phosphor of Eu{sup 2+}-doped phosphate-silicate Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16} was prepared by chemical sol–gel method. The X-ray powder diffraction, the photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, time resolved spectra, and thermal stability were measured. The excitation spectra can well match with the emission light of near UV-LED chips (360–400 nm). The tunable luminescence was realized by changing Eu{sup 2+}-doping concentration. Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16}:Eu{sup 2+} displays two typical luminescence centers, which were suggested to originate from two Ca{sup 2+} sites in the host. With increasing Eu{sup 2+} doping concentrations, the green emission band shifts to long wavelength. Energy transfer between the two different Eu{sup 2+} ions is discussed by analyzing the photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, concentration-dependent luminescence intensity, and lifetimes. The dependence of the luminescence intensity of Ca{sub 7}Si{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 16}:Eu{sup 2+} on temperatures was measured. The activation energy (ΔE) for thermal quenching was reported.
