Glow‐in‐the‐dark materials have been around for a long time. While formerly materials had
to be mixed with radioactive elements to achieve a sufficiently long and bright afterglow …

The quest for new materials for thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated
luminescence (OSL) dosimetry continues to be a central line of research in luminescence …

A polyester resin was strengthened with electrospun glass nanofibers to create long-lasting
photochromic and photoluminescent products, such as smart windows and concrete, as well …

Photochromism is an interesting approach to improve the anticounterfeiting of various
commercial commodities. To introduce a transparent anticounterfeiting nanocomposite, it …

Room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) polymers have advantages of strength,
toughness, and processing and application flexibility over organic small molecular crystals …

Ever since the discovery of SrAl2O4: Eu, Dy persistent afterglow material, that can
intensively glow up to 20 h, the mechanism of long-lasting luminescence has been a …

Inorganic photoluminescence (PL) phosphors (including upconversion (UC), down‐shifting
(DS), and persistent (PersL) materials) with tunable outputs, high quantum yields (QYs), and …

In recent decades, research on persistent luminescence has led to new phosphors and
promising performances. Efforts to improve the quality of phosphors' afterglow have paved …

Lanthanide-activated alkaline earth aluminate phosphors are excellent luminescent
materials that are designed to overcome the limitations of conventional sulfide-based …

The long afterglow green emitting materials were prepared by fast gel-combustion
procedure (600° C) using urea as fuel. This paper reports the improvement in …
