In this study, SrCeO<sub>3</sub> nanophosphors (NPs) were synthesized utilizing the gel/solution combustion method and subsequently subjected to comprehensive structural, morphological, and optical characterization. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a predominant orthorhombic phase (<em>Pnma</em>) alignment of SrCeO<sub>3</sub> NPs, which is in agreement with the JCPDS card #01-083-1156, with a calculated crystallite size of 35.38 nm, corroborated by the Williamson-Hall (W–H) plot (37.15 nm).

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showcased a coral-like morphology, while energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) confirmed the presence of precursor elements.
