“…Bandlike persistent luminescence can also be achieved in MPLs doped with ns 2 cations like Bi 3+ [141,149,234,[257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266][267][268][269] or Pb 2+ ion [270][271][272][273] (Table 4). Unlike the Mn 4+ and Cr 3+ ions yet similar to the Eu 2+ , Ce 3+ , and Mn 2+ ions, single Bi 3+ ion, depending on different crystal hosts, can exhibit the fluorescence broadly spanning from UV, blue, yellow and to reddish/red [45,[274][275][276][277][278][279][280][281][282][283][284][285].…”
