LongafterglowphotoluminescentmaterialsSr2MgSi2O7dopedwithEu2+,Dy3+werepreparedbysol-gelmethod.ThesynthesizedsampleswerecharacterizedbyX-raydiffraction.Theexcitationspectrum,emissionspectrumandlongdecaycurveweremeasuredandanalyzed.XRDpatternindicatesthatphosphoriswithSr2MgSi2O7crystalstructure.Thewiderangeofexcitationwavelengthindicatesthatluminescentmaterialcanbeexcitedbylightfromultravioletraytovisiblelight.Themainpeakofemissionspectrumislocatedat466nm.Sampleexcitedbyvisiblelightcanemitbrightbluelight,andtheafterglowtimelastsmorethan8h.
