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 …

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 …

Broadband shortwave infrared (SWIR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), capable of advancing
the next-generation solid-state smart invisible lighting technology, have sparked tremendous …

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 …

Persistent luminescence phosphors are a novel group of promising luminescent materials
with afterglow properties after the stoppage of excitation. In the past decade, persistent …

Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are an emerging group of promising
luminescent materials that can remain luminescent after the excitation ceases. In the past …

Some of the old and unrealizable dreams of biomedicine have become possible thanks to
the appearance of novel advanced materials such as luminescent nanothermometers …

Persistent luminescence nanoprobes (PLNPs) can remain luminescent after ceasing
excitation. Due to the ultra-long decay time of persistent luminescence (PersL) …

Long persistent phosphors (LPPs) can maintain luminescence for an appreciable time after
terminating the excitation light, which can be compared to an optical battery. This intriguing …

Here, a novel multifunctional phosphor of Li1− xGa5O8: xPr3+ is reported. The crystal
