The borate Ba₃InB₉O₁₈ (BIBO) is a promising host material for phosphors. A series of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ codoped Ba₃InB₉O₁₈ phosphors were synthesized. Based on the Rietveld method, structure refinement of the codoped BIBO phosphor was carried out. Then, the luminescence properties of BIBO:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors were extensively investigated under ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation. The measured PL spectra and decay times evidenced that energy transfer occurs between the Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions. The energy-transfer mechanism from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ in Ba₃InB₉O₁₈ is dominated by electric multipolar interactions, with the critical distance calculated to be 10.97 Å. The temperature sensitivity of the Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ codoped sample under VUV was also investigated at the low temperature range from 25 K to 298 K. The emission color could be tuned from green to the red region by adjusting the concentration of codoped ions. The results indicate that the BIBO-based phosphors are valuable candidates for applications in the display and lighting fields.
