Multifaceted insight into the cation-disordered self-activated luminescence of Zn3V2O8 compositions for lighting and pigment applications

Remarkable structural diversity-dependent photoluminescence and UV-vis absorption have been induced in Zn 3 V 2 O 8 through several cationic substitutions (In 3+ , Y 3+ , Bi 3+ , and K + ), which ensured potential lighting and pigment applications.
