Abstract
Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising for fabricating deep-blue (<460 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but their development is plagued by low electroluminescent performance and lead toxicity. Herein, the synthesis of 12 kinds of highly luminescent and eco-friendly deep-blue europium (Eu2+)-doped alkali-metal halides (AX:Eu2+; A = Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+; X = Cl-, Br-, I-) NCs is reported. Through adjustment of the coordination environment, efficient deep-blue emission from Eu-5d → Eu-4f transitions is realized. The representative CsBr:Eu2+ NCs exhibit a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 91.1% at 441 nm with a color coordinate at (0.158, 0.023) matching with the Rec. 2020 blue specification. Electrically driven deep-blue LEDs from CsBr:Eu2+ NCs are demonstrated, achieving a record external quantum efficiency of 3.15% and half-lifetime of ∼1 h, surpassing the reported metal-halide deep-blue NCs-based LEDs. Importantly, large-area LEDs with an emitting area of 12.25 cm2 are realized with uniform emission, representing a milestone toward commercial display applications.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence (PersL) materials exhibit thermal-favored optical behavior, enabling their unique applications in security night vision signage, in vivo bioimaging, and optical anti-counterfeiting. Therefore, developing efficient and color-tunable PersL materials is significantly crucial in promoting advanced practical use. In this study, hexagonal Zr4+ -doped CsCdCl3 perovskite is synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction with a tunable photoluminescent (PL) behavior through heterovalent substitution. Moreover, the incorporation of Zr4+ ions result in an extra blue emission band, originating from the enhanced excitonic recombination in D3d octahedrons. Furthermore, the afterglow performances of the samples are dramatically improved, along with the noticeable temperature-dependent PersL as well as the thermo-luminescence with tunable color output. Detailed analysis reveals that the unique temperature-dependent PersL and thermo-luminescence color change are attributed to the presence of multiple luminous centers and abundant traps. Overall, this work facilitates the development of optical intelligence platforms and novel thermal distribution probes with the as-developed halides perovskite for its superior explored PersL characteristic.

Abstract
Sb-doped Cd-based inorganic halides, with varying connections of CdCl6 octahedra ranging from 0D to 3D, exhibit a variety of photoluminescent properties. Single-band emission is observed in Sb-doped Rb4CdCl6 (0D) and Cs2CdCl4 (2D), while dual-band emission is seen in Sb-doped RbCdCl3 (1D) and CsCdCl3 (3D). Density-functional-based first-principles calculations were conducted. The results reveal that cation vacancies, acting as charge compensators, influence the luminescence properties of dopant centers. In CsCdCl3, the local cation vacancy VCd″ for Sb3+ at the Cd2+ site ([Sb□Cl9]6-) significantly modifies the photoluminescence property, accounting for the observed dual-band emission alongside the nonlocal compensation case. This effect is insignificant in Sb-doped Rb4CdCl6, RbCdCl3, and Cs2CdCl4, due to the large distances or high formation energies of Cd vacancies in these hosts. However, in Sb-doped RbCdCl3, two different potential energy minima, one that involves typical structure relaxation and the other that is off-center, lead to the observed dual-band emission. Furthermore, the shift of the charge transition level illustrates the different temperature dependences of the dual-band emission caused by the charge-compensating point defects. These insights not only enhance our understanding of luminescent materials based on halides containing ns2 dopants but also provide valuable guidance for the design and optimization of luminescent materials.

Abstract
Recently, metal 1halide perovskites have shown compelling optoelectronic properties for both light-emitting devices and scintillation of ionizing radiation. However, conventional lead-based metal halide perovskites are still suffering from poor material stability and relatively low X-ray light yield. This work reports cadmium-based all-inorganic metal halides and systematically investigates the influence of the metal ion incorporation on the optoelectronic properties. This work introduces the bi-metal ion incorporation strategy and successfully enhances the photoluminescence quantum yield (98.9%), improves thermal stability, and extends the photoluminescence spectra, which show great potential for white light emission. In addition, the photoluminescent decay is also modulated with single metal ion incorporation, the charge carrier lifetime is successfully reduced to less than 1 µs, and the high luminescent efficiency and X-ray light yield (41 000 photons MeV-1 ) are maintained. Then, these fast scintillators are demonstrated for high-speed light communication and sensitive X-ray detection and imaging.

Abstract
Afterglow materials are attracting widespread attention owing to their distinctive and long-lived optical emission properties which create exciting opportunities in various fields. Recent research has led to the discovery of many new afterglow materials featuring high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) and lifetimes of up to several hours under ambient conditions. Afterglow materials are typically categorized according to their luminescence mechanism, such as long-persistent luminescence (LPL), room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Through rational design and novel synthetic strategies to modulate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and populate triplet exciton states (T1), luminophores with long lifetimes and bright afterglow characteristics can be realized. Initial research towards afterglow materials focused mainly on pure inorganic materials, many of which possessed inherent disadvantages such as metal toxicity or low energy emissions. In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials (OIHAMs) have been developed with high PLQY and long lifetimes. These hybrid materials exploit the tunable structure and easy processing of organic molecules, as well as enhanced SOC and intersystem crossing (ISC) processes involving heavy atom dopants, to achieve excellent afterglow performance. In this review, we begin by briefly discussing the structure and composition of inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including strategies for regulating their lifetime, PLQY and luminescence wavelength. The specific advantages of organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including low manufacturing costs, diverse molecular/electronic structures, tunable structures and optical properties, and compatibility with a variety of substrates, are emphasized. Subsequently, we discuss in detail the fundamental mechanisms used by afterglow materials, their classification, design principles, and end applications (including sensing, anticounterfeiting, and photoelectric devices, among others). Finally, existing challenges and promising future directions are discussed, laying a platform for the design of afterglow materials for specific applications.

Abstract
Recently, transparent afterglow phosphors have attracted increasing interest due to the mitigated self-absorption and the ensuing improved light output, which have inspired many advanced applications, including volumetric display and three-dimensional optical encryption. To date, the most successful afterglow phosphors remain those traditional oxide, nitride, or sulfide powders which are not transparent due to a severe scattering effect. By reduction of the number of interfaces and engineering the refractive index, the scattering effect could be circumvented effectively. To this end, four material systems, including transparent afterglow single crystals, transparent phosphorescent organics, transparent afterglow glass, and luminescent nanocomposites, were reviewed in this Perspective. We started with the discussion of the nontransparency origin. Through a careful inspection of Rayleigh scattering theory, a general solution involving both refractive index and particle size was proposed to reduce the scattering effect. Many representative works on transparent afterglow phosphors were systematically reviewed, where the typical synthesis methods and the advantages and disadvantages of each system were critically presented. In the last part, bottlenecks, prospects, and future development directions based on transparent afterglow phosphors are proposed.
