In this paper, color-tunable Gd₂O₂CN₂:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors were obtained by co-doping Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions into Gd₂O₂CN₂ host and singly varying the Eu³⁺ doping concentration. The characteristics of the crystal structure, photoluminescence lifetime and photoluminescence of Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ single-doped and Tb³⁺and Eu³⁺ co-doped Gd₂O₂CN₂, were carefully investigated by XRD, FTIR, PL decay curves and photoluminescence (PL). The results indicated that Tb³⁺ single-doped Gd₂O₂CN₂ phosphor show a green emission, and by increasing Eu³⁺ content, Gd₂O₂CN₂:Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors emit green to orange and then to red light under the excitation of 379 nm
