    Display omitted •Sr0.9−x−y−zCa0.1In2O4:(xEu3+, yTm3+, zTb3+) were obtained quickly and continuous.•The relationship between the structural and photoluminescence changes were studied.•Sr0.9−x−y−zCa0.1In2O4:(xEu3+, yTm3+, zTb3+) exhibited emission in the white region. In the present work, Sr0.9−x−y−zCa0.1In2O4:(xEu3+, yTm3+, zTb3+) particles were synthesized by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method to obtain a single-phase white phosphorus formed by six different cations in solution within the lattice (superstructure). The samples were also structurally and morphologically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques and by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The photoluminescent behavior and the characteristics of the emitted colors were studied by the variation in the co-doping of the rare earth elements. The Sr0.9Ca0.1In2O4 sample showed a near blue color emission, but all co-doped samples showed emission in white with very close chromaticity coordinates to the standard white (x = 0.33 and y = 0.33). The Tm3+ → Tb3+ (ET1), Tm3+ → Eu3+ (ET2) and Tb3+ → Eu3+ (ET3) Energy Transfers were proposed and are considered necessary for adjusting and controlling the desired color properties.
