The invention discloses a Mn<4+> ion-doped red phosphor, and a preparation method and an application thereof. The general chemical formula of the phosphor is Cs3Ge2Sb3O13:xMn<4+>, wherein x is the molar ratio of doped Mn<4+>, and x is not less than 0.0005 and not more than 0.015. The above material prepared in the invention is responsive in a blue light, near ultraviolet light or ultraviolet lightwavelength range, emits red fluorescence in a wavelength range of 620-750 nm, and can be used to substitute a traditional rare earth-doped red light source; and the excitation spectrum range of the phosphor is wide, strong absorption exists in 355 nm, and the excitation spectrum range is consistent to the luminescence waveband of a commercial ultraviolet-blue light chip. The preparation method ofthe phosphor is simple; and compared with rare earth phosphor, the phosphor disclosed in the invention has the characteristics of wide selectivity of raw materials, and low cost, is a red fluorescentmaterial having a good luminescence performance, and can be used to manufacture near ultraviolet light or blue light excited white LED phosphor.
