摘　　要：BiOCl crystal shows potential as efficient optical host due to its special layered structure. Here,the luminescence properties of the Er^3＋/Sm^3＋ co-doped BiOCl phosphors as single-phase phosphors were reported. Upon near ultraviolet excitation（NUV, 380 nm corresponding the ^4 I15/2→ ^4 G11/2 transition of Er^3＋ ions）, the phosphors exhibit the efficient characteristic emissions of Er^3＋ and Sm^3＋ ions simultaneously. The energy transfer（ET） from Er^3＋ to Sm^3＋ ions in the layered crystals has been validated by the variation of emission intensities and decay lifetimes respectively, which is ascribed to be a dipoledipole interaction. By virtue of the ET behavior and increasing Sm^3＋ ion concentration, the enhancing emission intensity of Sm^3＋ and the tunability of emission color from yellowish-green（0.318, 0.420） to white（0.343, 0.347） are realized. The results of our work indicate that the Er^3＋/Sm^3＋ co-doped BiOCI phosphor has a promising application serving as single component white emitting phosphors for NUV excited WLEDs.BiOCl crystal shows potential as efficient optical host due to its special layered structure.
