The recently discovered Sr_xBi₂Se₃ superconductor provides an alternative and ideal material base for investigating possible topological superconductivity. Here, we report that in Sr_0.065Bi₂Se₃, the ambient superconducting phase is gradually depressed upon the application of external pressure. At high pressure, a second superconducting phase emerges at above 6 GPa, with a maximum T_c value of ~8.3 K. Here, the joint investigations of the high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction and electrical transport properties reveal that the reemergence of superconductivity in Sr_0.065Bi₂Se₃ is closely related to the structural phase transition from an ambient rhombohedral phase to a high-pressure monoclinic phase around 6 GPa, and further to another high-pressure tetragonal phase above 25 GPa.
