Highlights: • NaLa(W{sub x}Mo{sub 1−x}O{sub 4}){sub 2}: Eu{sup 3+} with various shapes were synthesized via hydrothermal method. • No structural modifier or organic solvents were used. • Morphology and luminescence properties were manipulated by mole ratio of W/Mo. • NaLa(W{sub x}Mo{sub 1−x}O{sub 4}){sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} was brighter than that of Com-Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}: Eu{sup 3+}. - Abstract: W{sup 6+} dopant on the NaLa(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} solid solution phosphors with various shapes have been synthesized via the hydrothermal method without using any structural modifier and organic solvents. The morphology and luminescence properties of W{sup 6+} doped NaLa(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} phosphors are obtained and characterized by SEM and PL/PLE spectra. Both morphology and luminescence properties are considered to manipulate by the mole ratio of W/Mo. By increasing the W{sup 6+} amount, particle shapes are changed from rice-shaped particles to spindle-shaped, cocoon-shaped, then to layers of octahedron-shaped. Under UV light excitation, all samples show bright red light due to the characteristic 4f-4f transitions of Eu{sup 3+}. Tungstate and molybdate phosphors have higher luminescence intensity than that of tungstate and molybdate solid solution phosphors.
