Non-rare-earth Mn4+-doped double-perovskite (Ba1- xSr x)2YSbO6:Mn4+ red-emitting phosphors with adjustable photoluminescence are fabricated via traditional high-temperature sintering reaction. The structural evolution, variation of Mn4+ local environment, luminescent properties, and thermal quenching are studied systematically. With elevation of Sr2+ substituting content, the major diffraction peak moves up to a higher angle gradually. Impressively, with increasing the substitution of Ba2+ with Sr2+ cation from 0 to 100%, the emission band shifts to short-wavelength in a systematic way resulting from the higher transition energy from excited states to ground states. Besides, this blue-shift appearance can be illuminated adequately using the crystal field strength. The thermal quenching of the obtained solid solution is dramatically affected by the composition, with the PL intensity increasing 16% at 423 K going from x = 0 to 1.0. The w-LEDs component constructed by coupling the UV-LED chip with red/green/blue phosphors demonstrate an excellent correlated color temperature (CCT) of 3404 K, as well as color rendering index (CRI) of 86.8.
