Great progress has been made in inorganic persistent phosphors, especially in the recent
two decades, motivated by the discoveries of the SrAl 2 O 4: Eu 2+-Dy 3+ in the green and …

In this Review article, we systematically summarize the design and applications of various
kinds of long-lived emissive probes for bioimaging and biosensing via time-resolved …

The trivalent lanthanides have been broadly utilized as emitting centers in persistent
luminescence (PersL) materials due to their wide emitting spectral range, which thus attract …

Owing to the unique mechanism of photoelectron storage and release, long persistent
phosphorescence, also called long persistent luminescence or long lasting afterglow …

When the bright green-emitting SrAl 2 O 4: Eu, Dy persistent phosphor was described in the
literature in 1996, this presented a real breakthrough in performance, both in terms of initial …

Mechanoluminescence (ML) is generated during exposures of certain materials to
mechanical stimuli. Many solid materials produce ML during their fracturing, however, the …

X-rays are widely adopted in cancer radiotherapy and clinical diagnosis devices for
photodynamic therapy (PDT) and medical radiography. The sole utilization of X-ray …

The development of probes for biomolecular imaging and diagnostics is a very active
research area. Among the different imaging modalities, optics emerged since it is a …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) materials, enabling energy storage by capturing of
charge carriers and then the energy conversion to light via photostimulation, can find many …

Broadband near‐infrared (NIR) phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diodes (pc‐LEDs) have
many prospective applications in areas related to food inspection, health management, plant …
