In the present paper, a single host phosphor for a white light emitting diode (W-LED) Sr3(VO4)2:Eu3+, prepared by the co-precipitation method and combustion one, has been reported. Formation of the compound was confirmed by studying the X-ray diffraction pattern. The photoluminescence (PL) properties were studied by fluorescence spectrophotometer F-7000. The Sr3(VO4)2:Eu3+ exhibited a broad emission band covering the entire visible region centered at 520 nm wavelength and a sharp peak at 613 nm, when excited by 350 nm. The excitation spectrum at 520 nm emission wavelength was found to be suitable for pc-W-LED application.
