In this work, the dual effects of Eu2O3 on crystallization behavior, phase separation and fluorescence properties in simulated-lunar-soils-based SiO2-MgO-CaO-Al2O3-K2O-TiO2-Na2O glass-ceramics (SMCA-Eu) were investigated and analyzed. It was demonstrated that as Eu2O3 concentration increased, the crystallization activation energy of SMCA-Eu glass declined from 343.42 kJ/mol to 310.01 kJ/mol, subsequently rebounded to 318.43 kJ/mol. The Avrami parameter (n) exhibited distinctive surface crystallization of SMCA-Eu glass-ceramics system with crystalline phases of CaMgSi2O6, (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8 and Mg2Al4Si5O18. According to SEM and TEM results, the (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8 of SMCA-Eu glass-ceramics without Eu2O3 transformed into CaAl2Si2O8 and Mg2Al4Si5O18 with increasing of Eu2O3 content due to significant phase separation between Ca-rich and Si-rich regions. The optimal incorporation concentration was identified as 1 mol% Eu2O3, which yielded a fluorescence lifetime of 1.909 ms. Fluorescence intensity increased by a factor of 2.11 at 613 nm after crystallization, while significant phase separation in high-concentration Eu3+ glass-ceramics enhanced fluorescence intensity despite limited crystallization. These findings indicated that SMCA-Eu glass-ceramics exhibit excellent red-blue light emission characteristics, making them promising candidates for plant growth lighting applications in lunar base environments.
