Abstract
To date, the strategic exploration of a synthetic approach to afford persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) integrated with precisely controlled size/monodispersity and renal-clearable capability remains extremely challenging. Herein, we report a facile synthetic process with an elucidated mechanism to fine-tune the size for acquiring renal-clearable PLNPs, using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as a template. This strategy relies on the controlled crystallization of the precursor ions in the pore channels of MSNs at a high temperature, leading to the formation of monodispersed PLNPs with an average diameter as small as 2.5 nm after complete removal of MSN templates. The as-prepared ultrasmall PLNPs coated with polyethylene glycol exhibit uniform size, excellent water-dispersibility, good persistent luminescence, and high T1 relaxivity (17.6 mM-1·S-1), ensuring their suitability for afterglow/magnetic resonance dual-modality imaging and subsequent in vivo renal clearance. Thus, our study provides a strategy to inspire the controlled synthesis of diverse PLNPs by using MSN templates, simultaneously addressing the critical issues of precise adjustment of size and body clearance for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-persistent luminescence (PersL) materials are of promising applications in labeling, tracing, bio-imaging, and so forth, featuring distinctive self-sustained NIR light emitting. The PersL radiation spectrum, PersL duration, and charging efficiency are recognized as the key enablers for high-performance NIR PersL materials. Here, we have designed and developed a series of broad-band NIR superlong PersL phosphors (Sr,Ba) (Ga,In)12O19:Cr3+ with efficient UV-red light charging capacity. Typical SrGa10.49In1.5O19:0.01Cr3+ presents intensive NIR PersL from 650 to 1000 nm peaking at ∼770 nm, with a PersL duration of 360 h. This material can be efficiently and repeatedly charged by solar radiation in various outdoor environments. Our work further identifies that this NIR PersL material is advantageous for labeling and tracing as a secret NIR additive and in situ bio-imaging as an optical probe under high tissue penetration red light excitation.

Abstract
Impurity doping is a promising method to impart new properties to various materials. Due to their unique optical, magnetic, and electrical properties, rare-earth ions have been extensively explored as active dopants in inorganic crystal lattices since the 18th century. Rare-earth doping can alter the crystallographic phase, morphology, and size, leading to tunable optical responses of doped nanomaterials. Moreover, rare-earth doping can control the ultimate electronic and catalytic performance of doped nanomaterials in a tunable and scalable manner, enabling significant improvements in energy harvesting and conversion. A better understanding of the critical role of rare-earth doping is a prerequisite for the development of an extensive repertoire of functional nanomaterials for practical applications. In this review, we highlight recent advances in rare-earth doping in inorganic nanomaterials and the associated applications in many fields. This review covers the key criteria for rare-earth doping, including basic electronic structures, lattice environments, and doping strategies, as well as fundamental design principles that enhance the electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties of the material. We also discuss future research directions and challenges in controlling rare-earth doping for new applications.

Abstract
Information security of photonic communications has become an important societal issue and can be greatly improved when photonic signals are propagated through active waveguides with tunable wavelengths in different time and space domains. Moreover, the development of active waveguides that can work efficiently at extreme temperatures is highly desirable but remains a challenge. Herein, we report new types of low-dimensional Zn(ii)–organic halide microcrystals with fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) dual emission for use as 1D color-tunable active waveguides. Benefiting from strong intermolecular interactions (i.e., hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions), these robust waveguide systems exhibit colorful photonic signals and structural stability at a wide range of extreme simulated temperatures (>300 K), that covers natural conditions on Earth, Mars, and the Moon. Both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that the molecular self-assembly can regulate the singlet and triplet excitons to allow thermally assisted spectral separation of fluorescence and RTP, in combination with the single-component standard white-light emission. Therefore, this work demonstrates the first use of metal–organic halide microcrystals as temperature-gating active waveguides with promising implications for high-security information communications and high-resolution micro/nanophotonics. 1D zinc–organic halide microcrystals exhibiting thermally assisted spectral separation of fluorescence and phosphorescence could be used as single-component standard white-light and temperature-gating active waveguides.![]()

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is implicated in the etiology of many diseases. H. pylori eradication by antibiotic therapy is limited by the extreme acidic environment in the stomach, the undesired side effect of intestinal commensal bacteria, and the development of drug resistance. Here, we report a pH-responsive persistent luminescence (PL) nanozyme (MSPLNP-Au-CB) for in vivo imaging and inactivation of H. pylori. This PL nanozyme is composed of mesoporous silica (MS)-coated persistent luminescence nanoparticles (MSPLNP), Au nanoparticles (AuNP), and chitosan-benzeneboronic acid (CB), taking advantage of the long PL of PLNP to realize autofluorescence-free imaging, the pH-activated oxidase- and peroxidase-like nanozyme activity of AuNP, and the bacterial binding capacity of CB. The MSPLNP-Au-CB nanozyme can resist the corrosion of gastric acid and exhibit pH-activated dual nanozyme activity to catalyze bactericidal reactive oxygen species generation. This multifunctional nanozyme enables targeted imaging and activated deactivation of H. pylori under extreme gastric acid conditions as well as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in common slightly acidic environments, while it has no side effects on the commensal bacteria and normal cells in normal physiological environments. This work provides a promising PL nanozyme platform for bioimaging and therapy of bacterial infection under harsh conditions.

Abstract
A series of solid supramolecules based on acrylamide-phenylpyridium copolymers with various substituent groups (P-R: R=-CN, -CO2 Et, -Me, -CF3 ) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) are constructed to exhibit tunable second-level (from 0.9 s to 2.2 s) room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the amorphous state. Compared with other solid supramolecules P-R/CB[7] (R=-CN, -CO2 Et, -Me), P-CF3 /CB[7] displays the longest lifetime (2.2 s), which is probably attributed to the fluorophilic interaction of cucurbiturils leading to a uncommon host-guest interaction between 4-phenylpyridium with -CF3 and CB[7]. Furthermore, the RTP solid supramolecular assembly (donors) can further react with organic dyes Eosin Y or SR101 (acceptors) to form ternary supramolecular systems featuring ultralong phosphorescence energy transfer (PpET) and visible delayed fluorescence (yellow for EY at 568 nm and red for SR101 at 620 nm). Significantly, the ultralong multicolor PpET supramolecular assembly can be further applied in fields of anti-counterfeiting and information encryption and painting.

Abstract
When organic electron donor (D) and acceptor (A) chromophores are linked together, an electron transfer (ET) state can take place. When a short bridge such as one Sigma bond is used to link the donor and the acceptor, complete charge separation is difficult to access and one usually observes an intramolecular charge transfer (CT) state instead. Due to the inevitable coupling between the donor and the acceptor in compact organic chromophores, the most common decay pathway for the CT state is charge recombination, which may lead to a distinct longer wavelength fluorescence emission or non-radiative dissipation of the excited state energy. However, recent studies have shown that unique excited state dynamics can be observed when the CT state is involved during both forward and backward intersystem crossing (ISC) from singlet excited states to triplet excited states in organic chromophores. Analysis of the mechanism for ISC involving the CT state has received much attention over the last decade. In this perspective, we present a collection of molecular design rationales, spectroscopy and theoretical investigations that provide insights into the mechanism of the ISC involving the CT state in compact organic chromophores. We hope that this perspective will prove beneficial for researchers to design novel compact organic chromophores with a predictable ISC property for future biochemical and optoelectronic applications.

Halogenation of a twisted non-polar π-system as a tool to modulate phosphorescence at room temperature. Chem Sci 2021; 12:15116-15127. [PMID: 34909153 PMCID: PMC8612374 DOI: 10.1039/d1sc04936d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Halogenation of a twisted three-fold symmetric hydrocarbon with F, Cl or Br leads to strong modulation of triplet-triplet annihilation and dual phosphorescence, one thermally activated and the other very persistent and visible by eye, with different relative contributions depending on the halide. The room temperature phosphorescence is highly unusual given the absence of lone-pair-contributing heteroatoms. The interplay between the spin-orbit coupling matrix elements and the spatial configuration of the triplet state induces efficient intersystem crossing and thus room temperature phosphorescence even without relying on heteroatomic electron lone pairs. A ninefold increase of the ISC rate after introduction of three bromine atoms is accompanied by a much higher 34-fold increase of phosphorescence rate.

Abstract
Rare-earth doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics represent a new generation of tailorable optical materials with high potential for optical-related applications such as optical amplifiers, optical waveguides, and white LEDs. Their key features are related to the high transparency and remarkable luminescence properties, while keeping the thermal and chemical advantages of oxide glasses. Sol-gel chemistry offers a flexible synthesis approach with several advantages, such as lower processing temperature, the ability to control the purity and homogeneity of the final materials on a molecular level, and the large compositional flexibility. The review will be focused on optical properties of sol-gel derived nano-glass ceramics related to the RE-doped luminescent nanocrystals (fluorides, chlorides, oxychlorides, etc.) such as photoluminescence, up-conversion luminescence, thermoluminescence and how these properties are influenced by their specific processing, mostly focusing on the findings from our group and similar ones in the literature, along with a discussion of perspectives, potential challenges, and future development directions.

Abstract
Optical imaging is an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and fundamental biomedical research. Autofluorescence-free optical imaging, which eliminates real-time optical excitation to minimize background noise, enables clear visualization of biological architecture and physiopathological events deep within living subjects. Molecular probes especially developed for autofluorescence-free optical imaging have been proven to remarkably improve the imaging sensitivity, penetration depth, target specificity, and multiplexing capability. In this Review, we focus on the advancements of autofluorescence-free molecular probes through the lens of particular molecular or photophysical mechanisms that produce long-lasting luminescence after the cessation of light excitation. The versatile design strategies of these molecular probes are discussed along with a broad range of biological applications. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed to further advance the next-generation autofluorescence-free molecular probes for in vivo imaging and in vitro biosensors.

Abstract
We report the growth of a halide-based double perovskite, Cs2 Nax Ag1-x InCl6 :y%Mn, via a facile hydrothermal reaction at 180 °C. Through a co-doping strategy of both Na+ and Mn2+ , the as-prepared crystals exhibited a red afterglow featuring a high color purity (ca. 100 %) and a long duration time (>5400 s), three orders of magnitude longer than those solution-processed organic afterglow crystals. The energy transfer (ET) process between self-trapped excitons (STE) and activators was investigated through time-resolved spectroscopy, which suggested an ET efficiency up to 41 %. Importantly, the nominal concentration of dopants, especially in the case of Na+ , was found a useful tool to control both energy level and number distribution of traps. Cryogenic afterglow measurements suggested that the afterglow phenomenon was likely governed by thermal-activated exciton diffusion and electron tunneling process.

Abstract
Luminescent materials that emit in the narrowband ultraviolet-B (NB-UVB; 310-313 nm) spectral region have attracted considerable attention due to their unique spectral features, which endow them with great potential applications in the fields of photochemistry and photomedicine. However, NB-UVB persistent luminescent materials are relatively lacking, especially materials that are excitable by natural sunlight. Here we report the NB-UVB persistent luminescence of Gd3+ in (Y,Gd)3Ga5O12:Bi3+ garnets by making use of the persistent energy transfer from Bi3+ to Gd3+. The optimal Bi3+ and Gd3+ concentrations for the maximum energy transfer efficiency are determined and persistent NB-UVB light emission with a peak wavelength at 313 nm and an afterglow time of more than 24 h is successfully achieved in the (Y,Gd)3Ga5O12:Bi3+ phosphor. More importantly, the as-synthesized NB-UVB persistent phosphors are also excitable by the widely available natural sunlight and exhibit exceptional NB-UVB persistent luminescence performance. Benefitting from the visible-blind emission feature, interference-free capability from indoor ambient light and self-sustained optical characteristic, the developed sunlight-excitable NB-UVB persistent phosphors here not only hold great promise for covert optical tagging applications, but also open new opportunities for optical data storage in a bright indoor environment.

Abstract
Revealing the nature of intrinsic defects that act as charge-carrier trapping centers for persistent luminescence (PersL) in inorganic phosphors remains a crucial challenge from an experimental perspective. It was recently reported that Bi3+-doped LiREGeO4 (RE = Sc, Y, Lu) compounds displayed strong ultraviolet-A PersL at ∼360 nm with a duration of tens of hours at room temperature. However, the mechanistic origin of the PersL remains to be unveiled. Herein, we carried out a systematic study on optical transitions, formation energies, and charge-transition levels of dopants and intrinsic point defects in these compounds using hybrid density functional theory calculations. The results show that the efficient charging by 254 nm is due to the D-band transition of Bi3+ and hence the charge carriers pertinent to PersL are electrons originating from the dopants which are involved in the trapping and detrapping processes. The main electron-trapping centers are antisite defects GeLi0, interstitial defects Lii0, and dopants Bi2+, with the former one responsible for the strong PersL and the latter two for its long-time duration. These findings are further confirmed by comparison with calculated results for isostructural NaLuGeO4 and LiLuSiO4, based on which the roles of Li and Ge elements in forming intrinsic defects with appropriate trap depths for PersL are clarified. Our results not only assist in the understanding of experimental observations but also provide a theoretical basis for the rational design of novel PersL phosphors containing lithium and germanium in the host compound.

Abstract
High-efficiency blue phosphorescence emission is essential for organic optoelectronic applications. However, synthesizing heavy-atom-free organic systems having high triplet energy levels and suppressed non-radiative transitions-key requirements for efficient blue phosphorescence-has proved difficult. Here we demonstrate a simple chemical strategy for achieving high-performance blue phosphors, based on confining isolated chromophores in ionic crystals. Formation of high-density ionic bonds between the cations of ionic crystals and the carboxylic acid groups of the chromophores leads to a segregated molecular arrangement with negligible inter-chromophore interactions. We show that tunable phosphorescence from blue to deep blue with a maximum phosphorescence efficiency of 96.5% can be achieved by varying the charged chromophores and their counterions. Moreover, these phosphorescent materials enable rapid, high-throughput data encryption, fingerprint identification and afterglow display. This work will facilitate the design of high-efficiency blue organic phosphors and extend the domain of organic phosphorescence to new applications.

Abstract
Continuous photocatalysis via photo-charging and dark-discharging presents a paradigm shift in conventional photocatalysis with the requirement of continuous illumination to maintain the catalytic activity. This is expected to meet the ever-increasing demand for sustainable development of energy and environment driven by natural day-night cycles. Substantial advances in continuous photocatalysis for various environmental applications under light-dark cycles have been witnessed during the last decade. However, there lacks a systematic and critical review on basic but important information of continuous photocatalysis for environmental remediation, challenging robust scientific progress of this technology towards potential practical use. Here, the general description of continuous photocatalysis involving energy storage mechanisms (hole and electron storage) and characterizations (electron storage behaviors, release behaviors and storage capacity) has been first introduced. Importantly, the remediation performance and mechanism of continuous photocatalysis for environmental applications are qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrated, including chemical pollutant oxidation and reduction, microbial pathogen inactivation, and multifunctional treatment. In addition, key factors influencing its remediation performance are analyzed, for the first time, from both operational and environmental views. The ample opportunities in the field of continuous photocatalysis for sustainable environmental remediation are also pointed out, calling for more efforts to fill current knowledge gaps in the future.

Abstract
Perusing multimode luminescent materials capable of being activated by diverse excitation sources and realizing multi-responsive emission in a single system remains a challenge. Herein, we utilize a heterovalent substituting strategy to realize multimode deep-ultraviolet (UV) emission in the defect-rich host Li2CaGeO4 (LCGO). Specifically, the Pr3+ substitution in LCGO is beneficial to activating defect site reconstruction including the generation of cation defects and the decrease of oxygen vacancies. Regulation of different traps in LCGO:Pr3+ presents persistent luminescence and photo-stimulated luminescence in a synergetic fashion. Moreover, the up-conversion luminescence appears with the aid of the 4f discrete energy levels of Pr3+ ions, wherein incident visible light is partially converted into germicidal deep-UV radiation. The multi-responsive character enables LCGO:Pr3+ to response to convenient light sources including X-ray tube, standard UV lamps, blue and near-infrared lasers. Thus, a dual-mode optical conversion strategy for inactivating bacteria is fabricated, and this multi-responsive deep-UV emitter offers new insights into developing UV light sources for sterilization applications. Heterovalent substituting in trap-mediated host lattice also provides a methodological basis for the construction of multi-mode luminescent materials.

Abstract
Photosensitizer molecules play a crucial role in materials and life sciences. Efforts to improve their performance and reduce the associated costs are therefore vital for advancing environmentally friendly light-driven technologies. In this Feature Article, we describe the use of photosensitizers that make use of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), their benefits compared to conventional fluorescent and phosphorescent sensitizers, and the efforts of our group and others to develop emitters with application-tailored properties. The key feature is the diversity of accessible excited state pathways, which may be tuned by molecular and supramolecular approaches to suit a particular problem. This unique property has allowed TADF emitters to become competitive for applications including TADF-sensitized fluorescence in light emitting diodes and chemical sensing, organic long persistent luminescence, photodynamic therapy, and non-coherent photon upconversion.

Abstract
Afterglow materials have become one of the most promising luminescent materials due to their long luminescence lifetime. Photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), as one of the most fundamental and essential parameters of luminescent materials, can directly evaluate the luminescence properties of emissive compounds. Recently, a type of afterglow material based on a photochemical reaction has been developed. However, there is no suitable method to measure the PLQY of these afterglow materials due to their special luminescence principle. Herein, we present a method to measure the PLQY for these afterglow materials by collecting the luminescent dynamic curves of emission and excitation light at specific wavelength regions using a commercial spectrometer and an integrating sphere. We found that the emitted photons of this kind of afterglow material are in direct proportion to the excitation time, which means the PLQY is irrelevant to the excitation time.

Abstract
In this paper, we employed first-principles methods and the QM/MM technique to study the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) phenomenon of a near-infrared molecule (PIPAQ) in vacuum, solution, and the aggregation state. Our calculated results show that (1) the cluster can decrease the energy gap between the first singlet excited state (S1) and the first triplet state (T1) compared with the monomer, furthermore, the T1 state and S1 state in the cluster are energetically closer to each other, which implies that the energy gap is smaller in comparison with that in solution and can promote the intersystem crossing (ISC) process due to the surrounding effect; (2) the optimally tuned range-separated functional is applicable to simulation of excited states and the outcomes are in good agreement with experimental values; (3) the reorganization energies associated with ISC and the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) processes between the S1 and T1 states are sensitive to the calculated methods and the environments, and thus the following calculated ISC and RISC rates vary dramatically according to different reorganization energies; (4) all radiative and nonradiative rates are insensitive to temperature, but sensitive to environments, all the radiative rates increase in the cluster while the nonradiative rates decrease, which enhances the fluorescence quantum efficiency and agrees with the observed value. The above results demonstrate that the surrounding effects are very important for modulating the photophysical properties of the PIPAQ compound. Finally, this studied conclusion can give a helpful insight into the TADF mechanism for the title compounds, by which novel TADF materials with excellent performance could be rationally designed.

Abstract
Despite that the currently discovered CRISPR-Cas12a system is beneficial for improving the detection accuracy and design flexibility of luminescent biosensors, there are still challenges to extend target species and strengthen adaptability in complicated biological media. To conquer these obstacles, we present here some useful strategies. For the former, the limitation to nucleic acids assay is broken through by introducing a simple functional DNA regulation pathway to activate the unique trans-cleavage effect of this CRISPR system, under which the expected biosensors are capable of effectively transducing a protein (employing dual aptamers) and a metal ion (employing DNAzyme). For the latter, a time-gated luminescence resonance energy transfer imaging manner using a long-persistent nanophosphor as the energy donor is performed to completely eliminate the background interference and a nature-inspired biomimetic periodic chip constructed by photonic crystals is further combined to enhance the persistent luminescence. In line with the above efforts, the improved CRISPR-Cas12a luminescent biosensor not only exhibits a sound analysis performance toward the model targets (carcinoembryonic antigen and Na+) but also owns a strong anti-interference feature to actualize accurate sensing in human plasma samples, offering a new and applicative analytical tool for laboratory medicine.

Abstract
In this article, we synthesized a series of new warm-white emitting persistent luminescent phosphors by co-doping Zn2+ into Pr3+ activated BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12, and systematically investigated the effect of Zn2+ co-doping on both their photoluminescence and persistent luminescence properties. Following the removal of UV excitation, the phosphor emits warm-white persistent luminescence consisting of greenish-blue and red emissions originating from 3P0 and 1D2 multiplet electron transitions at the 4f level of Pr3+. The luminescence properties of the Ba1-xZnxLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Pr3+ phosphors can be modified by changing the content of Ba/Zn in the host, which affects the non-radiative energy flow between 5d1-3P0-1D2 levels and resultantly enhances the intensity of the 4f → 4f transition. Compared with the undoped sample, Zn2+ co-doping can significantly enhance the persistent luminescence intensity of the phosphors in the range of 400-800 nm and reduce the intensity in the UV region. Meanwhile, Zn2+ co-doping can also change the intensity ratio between the greenish-blue and red emissions, and the persistent luminescence color can be tuned from red to warm-white with the increase of Zn2+ concentration. Besides, the Zn2+ ions entering the crystal lattice also enhance the persistent luminescence performance by modifying the defect levels in the phosphor. For the optimized phosphor, bright warm-white persistent luminescence can be observed by the naked eye in the dark after the removal of the excitation source for 4 h. Based on the experimental results, a feasible mechanism was also proposed to reveal the persistent luminescence generation process for the BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Pr3+,Zn2+ phosphor.

Abstract
Living plants provide an opportunity to rethink the design and fabrication of devices ordinarily produced from plastic and circuit boards and ultimately disposed of as waste. The spongy mesophyll is a high -surface area composition of parenchyma cells that supports gas and liquid exchange through stomata pores within the surface of most leaves. Here, we investigate the mesophyll of living plants as biocompatible substrates for the photonic display of thin nanophosphorescent films for photonic applications. Size-sorted, silica-coated 650 ± 290 -nm strontium aluminate nanoparticles are infused into five diverse plant species with conformal display of 2-μm films on the mesophyll enabling photoemission of up to 4.8 × 1013 photons/second. Chlorophyll measurements over 9 days and functional testing over 2 weeks at 2016 excitation/emission cycles confirm biocompatibility. This work establishes methods to transform living plants into photonic substrates for applications in plant-based reflectance devices, signaling, and the augmentation of plant-based lighting.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence is not affected by background autofluorescence, and thus holds the promise of high-contrast bioimaging. However, at present, persistent luminescent materials for in vivo imaging are mainly bulk crystals characterized by a non-uniform size and morphology, inaccessible core-shell structures and short emission wavelengths. Here we report a series of X-ray-activated, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles with an extended emission lifetime in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm). Core-shell engineering enables a tunable NIR-II persistent luminescence, which outperforms NIR-II fluorescence in signal-to-noise ratios and the accuracy of in vivo multiplexed encoding and multilevel encryption, as well as in resolving mouse abdominal vessels, tumours and ureters in deep tissue (~2-4 mm), with up to fourfold higher signal-to-noise ratios and a threefold greater sharpness. These rationally designed nanoparticles also allow the high-contrast multiplexed imaging of viscera and multimodal NIR-II persistent luminescence-magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography imaging of murine tumours.

Abstract
Organic persistent luminescent materials have attracted special attention due to their significant applications in optoelectronics, sensors, and security technology areas. In this work, a series of organic compounds (1-4) with twisted electron donor-acceptor structures are successfully designed and synthesized, and then the resultant compounds are dissolved in methyl methacrylate (MMA), and afterward, in situ polymerization realizes single-molecular organic room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials (P1-P4). All RTP materials show long lifetime, especially P2 exhibits ultralong lifetime of 1.51 s. When the compounds are grown into single crystals, multicolor-tunable afterglow is obtained at different delay times due to the dual emission of phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence, which is promising to be applied in high-level anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
A smart photoluminescent nanocomposite surface coating was prepared for simple industrial production of long-persisting phosphorescence and superhydrophobic wood. The photoluminescent nanocomposite coatings were capable of continuing to emit light in the dark for prolonged time periods that could reach 1.5 h. Lanthanide-doped aluminium strontium oxide (LASO) nanoparticles at different ratios were immobilized in polystyrene (PS) and developed as a nanocomposite coating for wood substrates. To produce transparency in the prepared nanocomposite coating, LASO was efficiently dispersed in the form of nanoscaled particles to ensure homogeneous dispersion without agglomeration in the PS matrix. The coated wood showed an absorption band at 374 nm and two emission bands at 434 nm and 518 nm. The luminescence spectra showed both long-persisting phosphorescence as well as photochromic fluorescence relying on the LASO ratio. The improved superhydrophobicity and resistance to scratching of the coated wood could be attributed to the LASO NPs incorporated in the polystyrene matrix. Compared with the uncoated wood substrate, the coated LASO-PS nanocomposite film also displayed photostability and high durability. The current study demonstrated the potential high-scale manufacturing of smart wood for some applications such as safety directional signs in buildings, household products, and smart windows.

Abstract
Optical anti-counterfeiting has been developed as a promising optical-sensing technique. A self-activated KGaSiO4 phosphor was successfully prepared using the traditional solid-state method. The photoluminescence spectra of the as-synthesized phosphors indicate that the ultra-narrow band emission with green light peak at 503 nm is obtained when phosphors are excited by 254 nm UV light. Additionally, the measured afterglow curve shows that the emission of this phosphor can last more than 1200 s after UV excitation stops, which indicates that KGaSiO4 is a potential candidate for anti-counterfeiting materials. The luminescent and decay mechanism are discussed by theoretical calculation and thermo-luminescent spectra in detail. The theoretical model can provide support for explaining the mechanism of narrow band or persistent phosphor.

Abstract
New photochromic film was developed toward the preparation of anti-counterfeiting documents utilizing inorganic/organic nanocomposite enclosing a photoluminescent inorganic pigment and a polyacrylic binder polymer. To generate a translucent film from pigment/polyacrylic nanocomposite, the phosphorescent strontium aluminum oxide pigment should be well-dispersed in the solution of the polyacrylic-based binder without agglomeration. The photochromic nanocomposite was applied efficiently onto commercial cellulose paper documents utilizing the effective and economical spray-coating technology followed with thermofixation. A homogeneous photochromic film was immobilized onto cellulose paper surface to introduce a transparent film changing to greenish-yellow upon exposure to ultraviolet light as depicted by CIE coloration measurements. The photochromic effect was monitored at lowest pigment concentration (0.25 wt%). The spray-coated paper documents exhibit two absorbance bands at 256 and 358 nm, and two fluorescence peaks at 433 and 511 nm. The morphologies of the spray-coated documents were explored. The spray-coated paper sheets showed a reversible photochromic effect without fatigue under ultraviolet irradiation. The rheology of the produced photochromic composites as well as the mechanical properties and photostability of the spray-coated documents were studied.

Abstract
Near-infrared persistent luminescent (or afterglow) nanoparticles with the biologically appropriate size are promising materials for background-free imaging applications, while the conventional batch synthesis hardly allows for reproducibility in controlling particle size because of the random variations of reaction parameters. Here, highly efficient chemistry was matched with an automated continuous flow approach for directly synthesizing differently sized ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ (ZGC) nanoparticles exhibiting long persistent luminescence. The key flow factors responsible for regulating the particle formation process, especially the high pressure-temperature and varied residence time, were investigated to be able to tune the particle size from 2 to 6 nm and to improve the persistent luminescence. Upon silica shell encapsulation of the nanoparticles accompanied by an annealing process, the persistent luminescence of the resulting particles was remarkably enhanced. High-fidelity automated flow chemistry demonstrated here offers an alternative for producing ZGC nanoparticles and will be helpful for other compositionally complex metal oxide nanoparticles.

Abstract
Rationale: Near-Infrared persistent luminescence (NIR-PL) nanomaterials that can continually emit low-energy photons after ceasing excitation has emerged as a new generation of theranostic nanoparticle drug delivery systems (NDDSs) for imaging-guided cancer therapy, which stems from their special ability to completely avoid tissue autofluorescence interference. However, unresponsive diagnostic capability, inefficient drug delivery, and poor biodegradability limit the efficacy of most reported NIR-PL-based NDDSs. Methods: Herein, a multifaceted tumor microenvironment (TME)-degradable theranostic drug delivery nanocapsule based on an ultrasmall persistent phosphor with a hollow mesoporous manganese-doped, DOX-loaded silica shell (Mn-ZGOCS-PEG) is developed to overcome the above drawbacks. Results: We demonstrate that the well-designed nanocapsule enables tumor-responsive controlled drug release with ameliorated therapeutic efficacy, TME-responsive autofluorescence interference-free NIR-PL tracing, and manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance (Mn-MR) monitoring for practical dual-modality image-guided antitumor treatment in vivo. Conclusion: Our results indicate that Mn-ZGOCS-PEG nanocapsules enable tumor-targeting augmented chemotherapy under the guidance of TME-responsive dual-MR/NIR-PL-modality imaging in vivo. We believe that our work provides a new paradigm for the development of smart NIR-PL-based NDDSs with ultrasensitive multimodal diagnostic capability, enhanced anticancer effect, and efficient biodegradability.

Abstract
Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs) for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new applications continue to be reported after two decades of research. This review provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of this field. It is targeted to both newcomers and experts who are interested in a critical assessment of LNP materials, their properties, strengths and weaknesses, and prospective applications. Numerous LNP materials are cataloged by fundamental descriptions of their chemical identities and physical morphology, quantitative photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL mechanisms, and surface chemistry. These materials include various semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene derivatives, carbon dots, nanodiamonds, luminescent metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and downshifting nanoparticles, triplet-triplet annihilation nanoparticles, persistent-luminescence nanoparticles, conjugated polymer nanoparticles and semiconducting polymer dots, multi-nanoparticle assemblies, and doped and labeled nanoparticles, including but not limited to those based on polymers and silica. As an exercise in the critical assessment of LNP properties, these materials are ranked by several application-related functional criteria. Additional sections highlight recent examples of advances in chemical and biological analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and cellular, tissue, and in vivo imaging and theranostics. These examples are drawn from the recent literature and organized by both LNP material and the particular properties that are leveraged to an advantage. Finally, a perspective on what comes next for the field is offered.
