Persistent phosphors are highly explored materials due to their diverse applications
(including anti-counterfeiting, information and data storage, photocatalysis, sensing, and …

In the current piece of work, we have synthesized the Er 3+-activated ZrO 2 and illustrated
the bifunctional utility of this material for solid-state lighting and non-contact optical …

The development of new inorganic phosphors for the use of latent fingerprint detection and
anticounterfeiting applications has aroused attention. In this report, a series of Er (0.5–4 …

Simple and efficient fluorescent identification of fingerprints without background
interferences has been a challenge. Dual-mode security encoding using fluorescence …

Fluorescent photochromism has been applied as an attractive approach for the production of
effective authentication substrates to show dual-mode secure encoding. In the current study …

The property of persistent luminescence shows great potential for anti-counterfeiting
technology and imaging by taking advantage of a background-free signal. Current anti …

A series of Eu 2+ ion doped Ca 8.96 Al 1-x Gd x (PO 4) 7: 0.04 Eu 2+ phosphors were
synthesized based on the crystal lattice engineering method, and the multi-color tunable …

Emission wavelength or color and excitation mode of luminescent materials play the
decisive role in their applications of information hiding and anti-counterfeiting. Conventional …

In the present work, orange-red emitting Eu 3+(1–8 mol%) doped GdCaAl 3 O 7
nanophosphors are prepared by a simple solution combustion route. X-ray diffraction …

Being a simple synthesis technique, solid state reaction (SSR) method seldom generates 1D
nanorod structured phosphors. In this article, we present a systematic study on the structural …
