The　Ce3+ions-doped　Y2SiO5　(Y2SiO5:Ce3+)　phosphors　were　synthesized　by　a　hydrothermal-solid　reaction　combined　method　with　mesoporous　MCM-48　as　silica　source.　The　Y2SiO5:Ce3+　powders　were　characterized　by　X-ray　diffraction,　scanning　electron　microscope　and　photoluminescence　spectroscopy.　The　results　show　that　the　phosphors　calcined　at　1200°C　have　low-temperature　X1-Y2SiO5　and　high-temperature　X2-Y2SiO5　phase　forming,　while　the　phosphors　calcined　at　1300°C　present　single-phase　X2-Y2SiO5.　With　the　increase　of　the　calcination　temperature,　the　peak　intensities　in　excitation　and　emission　spectra　are　enhanced　and　the　red　shift　of　emission　peak　is　obviously　observed.　Four　Gaussian　peaks　fit　to　the　emission　spectra　are　attributed　to　the　5d→4f　(2F5/2　and　2F7/2)　transitions　of　Ce3+　in　two　different　sites　(B1　and　B2)　in　Y2SiO5　matrix.
