The exploration of novel long lasting red phosphors is still of importance due to expected commercial applications and scientific interests. In this work, we reported the red long lasting phosphorescence（LLP） from Eu3+ doped BiOCl semiconductor polycrystals. The LLP property of the red phosphor is relatively weak due to less trap density, but the excitation band of LLP stems from the energy gap transition of semiconductor, offering experimental evidence for energy transfer between BiOCl semiconductor and Eu3+ ions. Although the afterglow duration of Eu3+ doped BiOCl was short temporarily, this work may open a novel kind of red LLP phosphors.
