Microwave processing has received significant attention based on the energy efficient
volumetric processing. The internal heat generation during the microwave heating …

The aim of this review is to present the progress in preparing phosphorescent particles
based on the reported research. We highlight the recent progress on SrAl 2 O 4: Eu, Dy …

In 1996, Matsuzawa et al. reported on the extremely long-lasting afterglow of SrAl2O4: Eu2+
codoped with Dy3+ ions, which was more than 10-times brighter than the previously widely …

The existing mechanisms proposed to explain the phosphorescence of SrAl2O4: Eu2+,
Dy3+ and related phosphors were found to be inconsistent with a number of important …

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 …

This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the microwave-assisted synthesis of
various materials for photoluminescence and photocatalytic applications. In the past decade …

Road marking is a core part of traffic safety facilities that plays an irreplaceable role in traffic
control. With the increasing requirement for road marking, active luminous road markings …

Living plants provide an opportunity to rethink the design and fabrication of devices
ordinarily produced from plastic and circuit boards and ultimately disposed of as waste. The …

SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ has been extensively studied for industrial applications in the
luminescent materials field, because of its excellent persistent luminescence properties and …

Intensive research has been focused on the synthesis of long-lasting SrAl2O4: EuDy in
luminescent materials field. Traditionally, SrAl2O4: EuDy is synthesized in bulk form by solid …
