  ABSTRACT: Eu2+, Dy3+-doped SrAl2O4 was prepared by a hydrothermal reaction through the process of calcination at lower temperature. The physicochemical properties of the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor were characterized and compared to those of the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ prepared by sol-gel method. The photocatalytic properties of the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ were evaluated in photocatalytic water decomposition for hydrogen production. The SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ prepared by hydrothermal reaction exhibited excellent phosphor properties which were similar with that prepared by sol-gel method. Its photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution was higher than that of TiO2 photocatalyst.
