3.5MgO·0.5MgF₂·GeO₂∶Mn⁴⁺ has been applied in the market as a red phosphor with excellent thermal stability and good luminescence performance. However, the unclear influence mechanism of MgF₂ in the phosphor hinders further performance optimization and development. A series of Mn⁴⁺-activated germanate phosphors were prepared by the high-temperature solid-phase method. The variation regulation of the structure, morphology, and luminescence performance was investigated by comparing the addition of MgF₂ and H₃BO₃ (flux). Then the luminescence influence role of MgF₂ has been obtained. The study showed that the optimum sintering temperatures for the samples with MgF₂, H₃BO₃, and without any co-solvent were 1 150, 1 250, and 1 350 ℃, respectively. The luminescence intensity at the above temperatures was also the optimum value, and the samples with MgF₂ and H₃BO₃ exhibited a pure phase at the temperature, respectively. The crystallinity and dispersion of the phosphors were improved by adding MgF₂ and H₃BO₃, and the positive influence of the MgF₂ was better than that of the H₃BO₃. The Dq/B value of the phosphor with MgF₂ was calculated to be 3.03, indicating Mn⁴⁺ is in an environment with a strong crystal field. The fluorescence lifetimes of the phosphors with MgF₂ and H₃BO₃ were 0.93 and 0.75 ms, respectively. The addition of MgF₂, on the one hand, plays a positive role as a co-solvent, which can be conducive to generating a pure phase and improving the crystallinity. The role is the same as the H₃BO₃. On the other hand, the F^- ions originating from MgF₂ were successfully doped into the crystal lattice confirmed by the XPS analysis, and then the crystal structure of Mg₁₄Ge₅(O, F)₂₄ was achieved.
