Nominal composition of Ca 1-x ZnxTiO3∶0.002Pr 3+ （x=0.000～0.200） phosphors were prepared by conventional solid reaction route. XRD and PL measurements were used to investigate the solid-solution structure and luminescence properties of Zn-doped Ca 1-x ZnxTiO3∶0.002Pr 3+ phosphors. The effect of solid-solution structure formed by substitution between Ca 2+ and Zn 2+ ions on the luminescent properties was analyzed. The results reveal that, with the increase of Zn substitution content below 0.010, lattice parameters and the intensity of excitation peak at both 260 and 330 nm as well as the corresponding 610 nm emission intensity are monotonously decreased quickly in a similar tendency. Also, the evolution of luminescence intensity and crystal cell parameters against Zn doping concentration are in good agreement. Above results are closely related with the structure change within Ca 1-x ZnxTiO3∶0.002Pr 3+ solid-solution phase formed by the Zn ions substitution for the Ca sites. Present study reveals that the solid-solution structure formed by substitution between Ca 2+ and Zn 2+ ions has significant effect on the luminescence properties of single phase Ca1-xZnxTiO3∶0.002Pr3+ phosphors.
