(author)The red afterglow of current rare-earth-activated long persistent luminescence (LPL) phosphors is largely still less than 6 h, in contrast to the 20 or 30 h long blue- or green-emitting ones, becoming the main obstacle to realize their multiscenario applications in practice. Herein, we report a rare-earth-free red-emitting LPL phosphor SrGa...journal article 2022
