The invention provides 
praseodymium-doped 
calcium titanate luminescent 
powder and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: at 
room temperature, weighing a certain amount of CaCO3 and Pr6O11 
solid according to a 
molar ratio of Pr<3+> / Ca<2+> of 0.005 / 1, dissolving the 
solid in dilute 
nitric acid, heating and stirring the solution to remove excessive acid, and heating the solution to a melting state after the pH value of the solution reaches 2 to 3; after the solution is cooled to 
room temperature, adding 20 milliliters of tetrabutyl 
titanate and 20 milliliters of water-
ethanol solution into the solution according to a stoichiometric proportion, then adding a certain amount of 
citric acid as complexing agent into the solution, adding 
polyethylene glycol into the solution, and stirring the solution for 2 hours to obtain an even transparent 
sol precursor; spraying and 
drying the obtained precursor solution to obtain precursor 
powder; and putting the precursor 
powder into a programmed temperature rising furnace, heating the precursor powder to between 600 and 1,000 DEG C, and then keeping the precursor powder for 3 hours at a constant temperature to obtain CaTiO3:Pr<3+> luminescent powder. The 
praseodymium-doped 
calcium titanate luminescent powder prepared by the method has good 
crystallization degree and high purity, and is a CaTiO3 pure phase of a 
perovskite structure.
