Within the framework of this method, the dual role of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an organic solvent in the synthesis process has been determined. On the one hand, it stabilizes the formation of Gd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> crystals, preventing their uncontrolled growth and agglomeration, and on the other, it serves as a fuel during decomposition (combustion), contributing to an increase in the reaction temperature and thereby influencing the structural and emission properties of phosphors. It has been shown that successive drying of the initial homogeneous solution containing gadolinium and neodymium salts, as well as PVP, at room temperature for 24 h and heat treatment at 1000°C for 2 h make it possible to obtain high-luminescent near-infrared phosphors Gd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:Nd<sup>3+</sup>, whose crystals are characterized mainly by a cubic structure and an average size of about 40 nm.
