Abstract: Aluminate persistence luminescence material is a relatively mature luminescent material that has the advantages of low price and easy promotion and can be widely used in various fields. This article introduced the improvement of the preparation method, luminescence mechanism, optical calculations and first-principles calculations of aluminate-based long-lasting luminescent materials and elaborated on the application of aluminate-based persistence luminescence materials to photocatalysis, batteries, biomedicine materials and other fields. Finally, the application prospects of aluminate-based persistence luminescence materials were prospected.
