Abstract: The study details a green-mediated hydrothermal route for the synthesis of Eu3+ activated La(OH)3 and La2O3 nanophosphors using Calotropis milk latex (CML) as a surfactant. The functionalization of as-formed La (OH)3: Eu3+ (10 ml, 1, 5, 9, 11 mol%), calcined La2O3: Eu3+ (2–12 ml, 9 mol%) and La2O3: Eu3+ (10 ml, 1–11 mol%) nanophosphors was investigated through PXRD, FTIR, SEM,TEM and photoluminescence (PL) studies. From the surface morphology, it was noticed that theCML/ Eu3+ concentration showed tremendous potential in the self-assembly process and has been utilized as a soft template for the engineering of ordered nanostructures. The energy band gap of calcined La2O3: Eu3+ (10 ml, 1–11 mol%) was found to decrease from 4.68 to 3.91 eV. The PL intensities of transitions between different J levels depend on the symmetry of the local environment of Eu3+ activators. The high ratio of intensity of (5D0→7F2) and (5D0→7F1) provides the conclusion that the Eu3+ ion occupies a site with a low symmetry and without an inversion centre. La (OH)3: Eu3+ (10 ml, 9 mol%) and La2O3: Eu3+ (10 ml, 9 mol%) nanophosphors show an intense red emission with CIE coordinates (0.56, 0.43) and (0.58, 0.41) respectively. The correlated color temperature (1893 K, 1786 K) was within the range of vertical daylight. The present study successfully demonstrates biotemplatemediated green synthesis of hexagonal La(OH)3: Eu3+ and La2O3: Eu3+ nanophosphors for display applications.
