“…Glow-in-the-dark road markings typically have a long lifespan and can maintain their ability to glow in the dark for a significant duration. The durability of glow-in-the-dark road marking paint is crucial for ensuring effective guidance and long-lasting performance (Lin et al, 2023). Therefore, the use of glow-inthe-dark road markings in accident-prone areas can contribute to improving road user safety and reducing the risk of traffic accidents at night.…”

The condition of the road plays a significant role in the driving experience and traffic safety. However, excessive use of Street Lighting (LPJU) can have an impact on global warming. This research utilizes a Research and Development (R&D) approach to develop phosphorescent paint technology for curbstones. The main goal of this research is to create a solution that aids the visualization of drivers and pedestrians in dark road conditions. Additionally, the research aims to reduce excessive electricity consumption, which is a crucial step in supporting efforts to mitigate global climate change. The research results show that the application of phosphorescent paint on curbstones can enhance visibility at night and provide clear visual guidance for road users. This technology also successfully reduces reliance on external street lighting, resulting in significant electricity savings. Thus, this research makes a positive contribution to improving traffic safety and supporting energy conservation efforts to protect the environment.

“…The excitation reaction of a luminescent material is recognized as an energy storage phenomenon, which implies that the duration of excitation plays a pivotal role in shaping the luminescent characteristics of the coating (Lyu et al, 2020). It has been established that there exists a saturation point in the excitation process, beyond which further exposure to light does not enhance the luminescence performance of the PSC (Lin et al, 2023). The present investigation aims to ascertain the specific excitation saturation times for the PSC subjected to various types of light sources.…”

“…These coatings have been recognized for their utility in a range of applications, including road marking, architectural embellishment, landscape enhancement, and the erection of cautionary signages (Walther et al, 2019;Li et al, 2021;Okimura et al, 2023;Pan et al, 2023). The luminescent properties of SLP coatings can augment the visibility of road outlines, thereby mitigating the risks associated with vehicular navigation Lin et al, 2023). In terms of formulation, SLP coatings are engineered using polymer resins as the primary film-forming agents and complemented by luminescent materials in a subordinate film-forming role (Wang et al, 2022b;Wang K. et al, 2023;Pan et al, 2023).…”

Improving the nighttime vision of drivers is essential, given the growing advancements in urban transportation. In this study, polyurethane-based self-luminous pavement coatings (PSCs) were prepared by doping luminous powders (LPs) into the polyurethane materials. The superior optical properties and chemical stabilities of these coatings were ensured by synthesizing the polyurethane-based material. Then, the PSCs were evaluated for their comprehensive performances, such as luminescence, aging resistance, and abrasion resistance, using various characterization methods, including fluorescence spectral analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and mechanical property testing. The results show that the 50-mesh LP has the optimal overall performance, with an initial luminescence that exceeds those of the 100 and 400 meshes. The initial brightness of the PSC is mainly influenced by the LP and increases with dosage. The lattice structure and luminescent properties of the luminescent material did not change after coating preparation. The peak excitation wavelength of 420 nm implies that the coating has the best excitation effect under UV light. The primer-marking coating effectively improves the abrasion resistance of the PSC, and the mass loss of the PSC with a coating thickness of 0.4 kg/m2 is 52.9% of that without the primer-marking coating, with the optimal coating thickness being 0.6 kg/m2. This research provides an innovative solution to improve nighttime roadway lighting, which provides useful support for the sustainable development of urban transportation infrastructures and construction of intelligent transportation systems.

“…Another very promising application is in road marking and indoor illumination. There are some tentative proof-of-concept examples of roads able to glow in the dark; , moreover, it has been recently proven the possibility to build smart windows that use persistent luminescence materials for indoor lighting . Persistent luminescence materials can be coupled to photocatalysts , to have photodegradation in the darkness; however, the mechanism involved in the energy/photons transfer between the two materials is still unclear and needs further detailed investigation.…”

Persistent luminescence materials are compounds able to glow in the dark after proper excitation. After the discovery in the 1990s of the long persistent luminescence in SrAl 2 O 4 :Eu 2+ ,Dy 3+ lasting 12 hours, the interest in this class of materials has grown quickly. Today, thousands of compounds are known to possess persistent luminescence, and some of them have found real industrial applicability. However, the mechanism driving the persistent luminescence remains somewhat unknown. The scenario is further complicated by moving from bulk materials to nanocrystals. Herein, we give an overview of the most important goals achieved in persistent luminescence materials and a critical perspective on this peculiar phenomenon at the nanoscale.
