Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ -doped SrAl2O4 was prepared by a hydrothermal reaction through the process of calcination at lower temperature. The physicochemical properties of the SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ phosphor were characterized and compared to those of the SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ prepared by sol-gel method. The photocatalytic properties of the SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ were evaluated in photocatalytic water decomposition for hydrogen production. The SrAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Dy 3+ 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 TiO 2 photocatalyst.
