Sr₃B₂O₆:Eu²⁺ yellow phosphor was prepared by the combustion method. The crystalline structure, photoluminescence and thermoluminescence properties of Sr₃B₂O₆:Eu²⁺ were investigated extensively. The X-ray diffraction result indicates that the Sr₃B₂O₆:Eu²⁺ phosphor exhibited a rhombohedral crystal structure. The emission spectra under a 435 nm excited wavelength showed an intense broad band peaking at 574 nm, which corresponds to the 4f⁶5d¹ 4f⁷ transition of Eu²⁺ ion. There were two different sites of Sr replaced by Eu in host lattice. The concentration quenching process between Eu²⁺ ions is determined and the corresponding concentration quenching mechanism was verified as dipole-quadrupole interaction. The glow curve under 3 Gy β- ray irradiation had the glow peak at 160°C and the average activation energy was defined as about 0.98 eV.
