Abstract
After the early discovery of the long-persistent photoluminescent lanthanide-doped strontium aluminates (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) in the late 1990s, scientists have directed their efforts to build up novel persistent phosphors with high stability and improved efficiency. Different features of persistent phosphorescent pigments have been investigated to earmark fitting mechanisms. However, the number of long-persistent luminescent compounds is still very low. In this review, we introduce a comprehensive study on the optical properties of long-persistent photoluminescent lanthanide-doped strontium aluminate phosphors in terms of thermoluminescence, photoluminescence, and afterglow. Additionally, the effects of various factors will be explored, such as surface energy, role of activator, temperature, and dopant concentration. Concurrently, some of our significant findings and future trends in strontium aluminate phosphors are discussed.
