The undoped and CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} (0.2≤x≤2.0 mol%) phosphors were synthesized at 1100 °C for 12 h by the conventional solid state reaction method. The synthesized CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Photoluminescence (PL) analyses. The PL spectra showed the presence of excitation peaks between 310 and 440 nm due to the 4f–4f transitions of Dy{sup 3+}. The emission of Dy{sup 3+} ions at 353.0 nm excitation was observed at 487.1 nm (blue) and 577.8 nm (yellow) due to the {sup 4}F{sub 9/2}→{sup 6}H{sub 15/2} transitions and {sup 4}F{sub 9/2}→{sup 6}H{sub 13/2} transitions, respectively. The PL analysis results also showed that the emissions increase with the increasing Dy{sup 3+} ion content. The emissions increased with the doping concentration of up to 1 mol%, and above this level decreased due to concentration quenching effect. The CIE chromaticity color coordinates (x,y) of the CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} phosphors were found to be in the white light region of the chromaticity diagram. - Graphical abstract: Emission spectra at λ{sub ex}=353.0 nm and CIE chromaticity coordinate diagram of CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} phosphors. - Highlights: • Pure and CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} was produced by solid state reaction method. • CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} phosphor exhibited blue and yellow emissions due to the {sup 4}F{sub 9/2}→{sup 6}H{sub 15/2} and {sup 4}F{sub 9/2}→{sup 6}H{sub 13/2} transitions. • The CCT value for 1.0 mol% CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6}:Dy{sup 3+} was 5133 K which was located in the cool white daylight region. • Dy{sup 3+} doped CdTa{sub 2}O{sub 6} phosphor has potential in the production of white LEDs.
