At present, rare-earth-activated perovskite-type materials have attracted lots of interest from researchers owing to their excellent advantages of unique electron properties and stable structure. This present work was designed to synthesize, investigate, and compare the photoluminescence properties in europium(III) (Eu 3+ )-activated Ca 2 BB′O 6 (B = Y, Gd, and La; B′ = Sb and Nb) double-perovskite (A 2 BB′O 6 ) luminescent materials. The doped Eu 3+ ions substitute the B sites of Y 3+ , Gd 3+ , and La 3+ ions, which are distributed to the equilibrium valence state and exhibit little difference in ion radius among them. All the resultant samples have a monoclinic structure, and the B sites strongly affect the space group in double-perovskite Ca 2 BB′O 6 frameworks. Additionally, the emission intensity, thermal stability, decay curve, color purity, quantum yield (QY), etc. were determined. The Ca 2 BNbO 6 :Eu 3+ (B = Y, Gd, and La) frameworks have good QYs (>42%), which are promising for white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). Besides, the red-emitting Ca 2 BB′O 6 :Eu 3+ − polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and white-emitting CYN0.1Eu 3+ −commercial phosphors (CP)−PDMS films were fabricated. Eventually, the packaged WLEDs based on the Ca 2 BNbO 6 :Eu 3+ (B = Y, Gd, and La) powders and a novel white-emitting structure based on the CYN:0.1Eu 3+ −CP−PDMS film were confirmed to have suitable color rendering index and correlated color temperature values for indoor illumination.
