The aim of this study is to prepare nanoparticles molybdates doped with rare earth ion Eu^(3+) synthesized by sol-gel method to study the luminescence property of these crystal powders. The influence of pH and doping amount of Eu^(3+) on these nanoparticles was also investigated. The results showed that CaMoO_4: Eu3+ (6%, mass ratio) prepared in pH value 7-9 and calcined at 700°C became uniformly cubic crystal and exhibited red photoluminescence with strongest emission peak at 612×258 nm excitation, which was caused by ^5D_0→^7F_2 transition of Eu^(3+). It can be predicted this CaMoO_4: Eu^(3+) phosphor could be a potential phosphor material for whitelight LED application in the future.
