Herein, novel Eu<sup>2+</sup> and Mn<sup>2+</sup> co-doped (1 – <i>x</i>)β-Ca<sub>3</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>-<i>x</i>Ca<sub>9</sub>La(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>7</sub> solid solution phosphors are designed to realizensingle-phased white light emission. The effects of variational <i>x</i> on lattice structure, color-tunable emission, thermalnstability, and energy-transfer efficiency from Eu<sup>2+</sup> tonMn<sup>2+</sup> are systematically investigated. Tunable color emissionsnare achieved by manipulating the redistributions of Eu<sup>2+</sup> ions among the different cationic sites under the influence of generatednempty site in the M(4) site. Meanwhile, the changes of critical distancesnamong the Eu<sup>2+</sup> and Mn<sup>2+</sup> caused by the variational <i>x</i> results in the changes of energy-transfer efficiency fromndifferent Eu<sup>2+</sup> luminescent centers to Mn<sup>2+</sup> duento the existence of structural confinement effect. The calculatednresults indicate that Eu1–Mn and Eu2–Mn possess highernenergy-transfer efficiencies than other Eu–Mn pairs. Undernthe combined influence of the two effects, single-phased full visiblenwhite emission covering from 400 to 700 nm has been realized via thenadjustment of solid solution, which makes the fabricated white-light-emittingndiode (WLED) possess high color-rendering index (86.9) and R9 (87.2)nas well as low correlated color temperature (3947 K).
