CaTiO3:Eu3+ luminescent nanoparticles (NPs) and Ppy/CaTiO3:Eu3+ nanocomposites (NCs) are synthesized via combustion and solution casting techniques respectively and their structural and optical properties are investigated. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-formed products show single orthorhombic phase. The crystallite size measurement is assessed utilizing Scherrer’s technique and observed to be in the range of 40-45 nm. The impact of Eu3+ ions on luminescence properties of the produced nanophosphors is examined and the results are given in detail. Therefore, the present phosphors are highly useful for display applications. The obtained results demonstrate that Ppy-assisted solution casting is an effective methodology for the synthesis of rare-earth doped CaTiO3:Eu3+ nanocomposites (NCs). Biocompatible, Ppy/CaTiO3:Eu3+ NCs possesses antibacterial activity against more multi-resistant bacterial and fungal phytopathogens. This additional information provides useful scientific information to prevent the various crop diseases.
