Inorganic luminescent materials are highly demanded for solid-state white lighting. Rare-earth Ce3+ ions activated garnet phosphors, as one of the most promising luminescent materials, have received tremendous attention for their potential applications in phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs), due to their high absorption efficiency, remarkable multi-color emissions, broadband emission spectra, high luminescence efficiencies, and excellent thermal stability. In this paper, recent advances in the developments of Ce3+-activated garnet phosphors for pc-WLEDs are reviewed. Firstly, the working principle of pc-WLEDs, the structural composition of garnet, the photoluminescence theory of Ce3+ ions, as well as the dominated factors affecting thermal stability and related thermal quenching mechanisms are highlighted. Secondly, several different synthesis methods of Ce3+-activated garnet phosphors are thoroughly elaborated, and the effects of these methods on the micro/nanoscale morphologies and luminescence properties are discussed. Thirdly, photoluminescence characteristics and thermal stability, as well as color stability of various color-emitting Ce3+-activated garnet phosphors together with their functional applications in pc-WLEDs are systematically summarized. Last, the remaining challenges and future development prospects of Ce3+-activated garnet phosphors in solid-state lighting are provided.
