Abstract
Optical multiplexing technology plays a crucial role in various fields such as data storage, anti-counterfeiting, and time-resolved biological imaging. Nevertheless, employing single-wavelength phosphorescence for multiplexing often results in spectral overlap among the emission peaks of various channels, which can precipitate crosstalk and misinterpretation in the information-decoding process, thereby compromising the integrity and precision of the encrypted data. This paper proposes a time-divided colorful multiplexing technology based on phosphorescent carbon nanodots with different colors and lifetimes. Using different luminescence colors to symbolize varying information levels helps achieve multitiered information encryption and storage. By modulation of the lifetime and the emission wavelength, intricate information can be encoded, thereby enhancing the intricacy and security of the encryption mechanism. By assigning different data bits to each color, more information can be encoded in the same physical space. This method enables higher-density information storage and fortifies encryption, ensuring the compactness and security of information.

Abstract
All-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals exhibiting bright luminescence have great potential as fluorescence elements for optical encoding. However, their limited stability in water hinders the application in biosensing. In this study, novel optical encoded microbeads based on CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br) nanocrystals are developed and applied in bead-based suspension arrays for the first time. Through the in-situ crystallization of CsPbX3 nanocrystals within mesoporous silica nano-templates (MSNs), accompanied by mesopores collapse after sintering, CsPbX3@MSNs (X3M) nanocomposites with uniform morphology and stable fluorescence intensity in aqueous solutions for up to 50 days are obtained. By assembling X3M with microspheres to form a host-guest structure, an optical encoding microbead (MX3M) library is established by varying the X3M ratio, halide composition, and the size of host microspheres, which can be easily decoded under multi-channel flow cytometer. As a result, MX3M exhibits outstanding capacity for specific target capture and negligible nonspecific absorption performance in the multiplex nucleic acid detection of respiratory viruses, with a low limit of detection (10 copies/rxn). This result highlights the tremendous potential of MX3M encoded microbeads constructed based on CsPbX3 nanocrystals for multiplexed bioassays.

Abstract
The design of nanosegregated fluorescent tags/barcodes by geometrical patterning with precise dimensions and hierarchies could integrate multilevel optical information within one carrier and enhance microsized barcoding techniques for ultrahigh-density optical data storage and encryption. However, precise control of the spatial distribution in micro/nanosized matrices intrinsically limits the accessible barcoding applications in terms of material design and construction. Here, crystallization forces are leveraged to enable a rapid, programmable molecular packing and rapid epitaxial growth of fluorescent units in 2D via crystallization-driven self-assembly. The fluorescence encoding density, scalability, information storage capacity, and decoding techniques of the robust 2D polymeric barcoding platform are explored systematically. These results provide both a theoretical and an experimental foundation for expanding the fluorescence storage capacity, which is a longstanding challenge in state-of-the-art microbarcoding techniques and establish a generalized and adaptable coding platform for high-throughput analysis and optical multiplexing.

Abstract
Facile access to site-selective hetero-lanthanide molecules will open new avenues in the search of novel photophysical phenomena based on Ln-to-Ln' energy transfer (ET). This challenge demands strategies to segregate efficiently different Ln metal ions among different positions in a molecule. We report here the one-step synthesis and structure of a pure [YbNdYb] (1) coordination complex featuring short Yb···Nd distances, ideal to investigate a potential distributive (i.e., from one donor to two acceptors) intramolecular ET from one Nd3+ ion to two Yb3+ centers within a well-characterized molecule. The difference in ionic radius is the mechanism allowing to allocate selectively both types of metal ion within the molecular structure, exploited with the simultaneous use of two β-diketone-type ligands. To assist the photophysical investigation of this heterometallic species, the analogues [YbLaYb] (2) and [LuNdLu] (3) have also been prepared. Sensitization of Yb3+ and Nd3+ in the last two complexes, respectively, was observed, with remarkably long decay times, facilitating the determination of the Nd-to-Yb ET within the [YbNdYb] composite. This ET was demonstrated by comparing the emission of iso-absorbant solutions of 1, 2, and 3 and through lifetime determinations in solution and solid state. The comparatively high efficiency of this process corroborates the facilitating effect of having two acceptors for the nonradiative decay of Nd3+ created within the [YbNdYb] molecule.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) possess the remarkable ability to convert multiple near-infrared (NIR) photons into higher energy ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) photons, making them a prime candidate for several advanced applications within the realm of nanotechnology. Compared to traditional organic fluorophores and quantum dots (QDs), UCNPs possess narrower emission bands (fwhm of 10-50 nm), large anti-Stokes shifts, low toxicity, high chemical stability, and resistance to photobleaching and blinking. In addition, unlike UV-vis excitation, NIR excitation is nondestructive at lower power intensities and has high tissue penetration depths (up to 2 mm) with low autofluorescence and scattering. Together, these properties make UCNPs exceedingly favored for advanced bioanalytical and theranostic applications, where these systems have been well-explored. UCNPs are also well-suited for bioimaging, optically modulating chemistries, forensic science, and other state-of-the-art research applications. In this review, an up-to-date account of emerging applications in UCNP research, beyond bioanalytical and theranostics, are presented including optogenetics, super-resolution imaging, encoded barcodes, fingerprinting, NIR vision, UCNP-assisted photochemical manipulations, optical tweezers, 3D printing, lasing, NIR-II imaging, UCNP-molecule nanohybrids, and UCNP-based persistent luminescent nanocrystals.

Abstract
The attractive features of lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescence (UCL), such as high photostability, nonphotobleaching or photoblinking, and large anti-Stokes shift, have shown great potentials in life science, information technology, and energy materials. Therefore, UCL modulation is highly demanded toward expected emission wavelength, lifetime, and relative intensity in order to satisfy stringent requirements raised from a wide variety of areas. Unfortunately, the majority of efforts have been devoted to either simple codoping of multiple activators or variation of hosts, while very little attention has been paid to the critical role that sensitizers have been playing. In fact, different sensitizers possess different excitation wavelengths and different energy transfer pathways (to different activators), which will lead to different UCL features. Thus, rational design of sensitizers shall provide extra opportunities for UCL tuning, particularly from the excitation side. In this review, we specifically focus on advances in sensitizers, including the current status, working mechanisms, design principles, as well as future challenges and endeavor directions.

Abstract
Multiphoton upconversion that can convert near-infrared irradiation into ultraviolet emission offers many unique opportunities for photocatalysis and phototherapy. However, the high-lying excited states of lanthanide emitters are often quenched by the interior lattice defects and deleterious interactions among different lanthanides, resulting in weak ultraviolet emission. Here, we describe a novel excitation energy lock-in approach to boost ultraviolet upconversion emission in a new class of multilayer core-shell nanoparticles with a gadolinium-rich core domain. Remarkably, we observe more than 70-fold enhancements in Gd 3+ emission from the designed nanoparticles compared with the conventional nanoparticles. Our mechanistic investigation reveals that the combination of energy migration over the core domain and optically inert NaYF 4 interlayer can effectively confine the excitation energy and thus lead to intense multiphoton ultraviolet emission in upconversion nanostructures. We further achieve a 35.6% increase in photocatalytic reactivity and 26.5% in reactive oxygen species production yield in ZnO-coated upconversion nanocomposites under 808-nm excitation. This study provides a new insight to energy transfer mechanism in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and offers an exciting avenue for exploring novel near-infrared photocatalysts.

Abstract
Near-infrared optical imaging offers some advantages over conventional imaging, such as deeper tissue penetration, low or no autofluorescence, and reduced tissue scattering. Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) have become a trend in the field of photoactive nanomaterials for optical imaging due to their unique optical features and because they can use NIR light as excitation and/or emission light. This review is focused on NaREF4 NPs and offers an overview of the state-of-the-art investigation in their use as luminophores in optical microscopy, time-resolved imaging, and super-resolution nanoscopy based on, or applied to, LnNPs. Secondly, whenever LnNPs are combined with other nanomaterial or nanoparticle to afford nanohybrids, the characterization of their physical and chemical properties is of current interest. In this context, the latest trends in optical microscopy and their future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
In the past few decades, significant progress of the conventional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) based nanoplatform has been achieved in many fields, and with the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, more and more complex situations need a UCNPs based nanoplatform having multifunctions for specific multimodal or multiplexed applications. Through self-assembly, different UCNPs or UCNPs with other materials could be combined together within an entity. It is more like an ideal UCNPs nanoplatform, a unique system with the properties defined by its individual components as well as by the morphology of the composite. Various designs can show their different desired properties depending on the application situation. This review provides a complete summary on the optimization of the synthesis method for the recently designed UCNPs assemblies and summarizes various applications, including dual-modality cell imaging, molecular delivery, detection, and programmed control therapy. The challenges and limitations the UCNPs assembly faces and the potential solutions in this field are also presented.

Abstract
Customized microneedle arrays (CMNAs) hold great promise for precise transdermal delivery in a minimally invasive manner. Currently, the fast customization of microneedle arrays remains a great challenge. Here, we show a static optical projection lithography (SOPL) technology for fast 3D printing CMNAs. In this technology, the digital light is statically projected to induce the spatial polymerization of monomer solutions, and therefore microneedle formation can be precisely controlled by the intensity distribution of the projected light. The obtained CMNAs do not have the stair-like surface and layer-by-layer structure that are associated with the common 3D-printing technologies. This method enables fast fabrication of CMNAs with designed shape, size, and distribution in seconds without mechanical motion system. Up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were delivered into skin by the CMNAs, to form a personalized dot matrix for in vivo information storage. Under the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR) light, the UCNPs in skin displayed a visible dot matrix, presenting information encoded in the structure of CMNAs. This work demonstrates a SOPL technology for rapidly customizing high-quality microneedle arrays and a CMNA-mediated in vivo information storage strategy.

Abstract
Multicolor luminescent nanoparticles (NPs) show several potential emerging applications. In this work, we provide a new route that integrates the afterglow and upconversion (UC) that originate in a single activator to achieve color variations without the modulation of any other parameters. The Er3+ ions in Na3HfF7:Yb/Er NPs exhibit bright green afterglow upon X-ray irradiation and single-band red UC under 980 nm laser excitation, which are attributed to the significantly different electron population pathways. The UC intensity is stable and the afterglow decreases gradually over time, thus the output color is clearly changed from green to red naturally via illuminating the pre-X-ray-irradiated NPs with a 980 nm laser. Furthermore, the fine emission profiles of Er3+, Ho3+ and Tm3+ are achieved upon X-ray irradiation. Our results develop a new approach for time-dependent dynamic color displays and a simple route to revealing the electronic fine structures of lanthanide activators at room temperature.

Abstract
The use of color-encoded microspheres for a bead-based assay has attracted increasing attention for high-throughput multiplexed bioassays. A fluorescent PCC 6803@ZIF-8 composite was prepared as a bead-based assay platform by a self-assembled zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) on the surface of inactivated PCC 6803 cells. The composite fluorescence owing to the presence of pigment proteins in PCC 6803 could be gradually bleached with the prolongation of the ultraviolet light irradiation time. The composites with different fluorescence intensities were therefore obtained as encoded microspheres for the multiplexed assay. ZIF-8 provides a stable, rigid shell and a large specific surface area for composites, which prevent the composites from breakage during use and storage, simplify the protein immobilization procedure, reduce non-specific adsorption, and enhance the detection sensitivity. The encoded composites were successfully used to detect multiple DNA insertion sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The presented strategy offers an innovative color-encoding method for high-throughput multiplexed bioassays without the need of using chemically synthesized fluorescent materials.

Abstract
With the rapid development of suspension array technology, microbeads-based barcodes as the core element with sufficient encoding capacity are urgently required for high-throughput multiplexed detection. Here, a novel structure-fluorescence combinational encoding strategy is proposed for the first time to establish a barcode library with ultrahigh encoding capacities. Based on the never revealed transformability of the structural parameters (e.g., porosity and matrix component) of mesoporous microbeads into scattering signals in flow cytometry, the enlargement of codes number has been successfully realized in combination with two other fluorescent elements of fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I (FITC) and quantum dots (QDs). The barcodes are constructed with precise architectures including FITC encapsulated within mesopores and magnetic nanoparticles as well as QDs immobilized on the outer surface to achieve the ultrahigh encoding level of 300 accompanied with superparamagnetism. To the best of knowledge, it is the highest record of single excitation laser-based encoding capacity up to now. Moreover, a ten-plexed tumor markers bioassay based on the tailored-designed barcodes has been evaluated to confirm their feasibility and effectiveness, and the results indicate that the barcodes platform is a promising and robust tool for practical multiplexed biodetection.

Abstract
Inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted great scientific attention in the field of luminescent materials, but the application has been limited by the inferior stability that results from highly dynamic capping ligands. In this work, we use a rare-earth complex to modify perovskite QDs with ligand exchange to realize perovskite functionalization; meanwhile, the stability of perovskite QDs is greatly improved. Density functional theory calculation results show that the adsorption energy of the europium complex to QDs is higher than that with traditional ligands, which provides a thermodynamic basis for stability improvement. Furthermore, the modified QDs exhibit attractive dual-response property, including temperature and pH response ascribed to QDs and europium complexes, respectively. The superior property can be applied to multi-stimuli-responsive optical encoding, which is further capable of enhancing the security of encrypted information. This study not only affords a strategy for the synthesis of highly stable perovskites but also provides a method for the functionalization of perovskites.

Abstract
Epitaxial growth of an inert shell around the optical active lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is a general strategy to enhance their brightness. Yet, its potential as a tool in multiplexing emission tailoring has rarely been reported. Here, by developing the atomic vacancies into color selectivity actuators, we present an efficient strategy to achieve inert-shell-modulated multiplexing upconversion in 1540 nm activated UCNPs. Artificially generated fluoride atomic vacancies, owing to the decreased NaOH/NH4F dosage during shell growth, reduce the coordination number of Y-F and lattice densities in the inert shell, leading to the core-engineered shell nanoparticles with distinctive emission profiles. The multicolor tailoring is independent of shell thickness and can be readily applied to Lu3+/Gd3+-based shells. The upconversion emission can be exploited to visualize in security decoding and in vivo multiplexing bioimaging. This method of regulating atomic vacancies based on the inert-shell engineering opens new insights of upconversion modulation in core-shell lanthanide nanostructures.

Abstract
The drive for a simultaneous analysis of multiple targets with excellent accuracy and efficiency, which is often required in both basic biomedical research and clinical applications, demands the development of multiplexed bioassays with desired throughput. With the development of nanotechnologies, innovative multiplex optical bioassays have been achieved. Nanomaterials exhibit unique physical and chemical properties such as easily tunable size, large surface-to-volume ratio, excellent catalysis and the desired signal transduction mechanism, which makes them excellent candidates for the fabrication of novel optical nanoprobes. This mini review summarizes nanomaterial-based optical multiplex sensors from the last 5 years. Specific optical techniques covered in this review are fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), chemiluminescence (CL), and the multimodality with fundamentals and examples.

Abstract
AbstractFluorescent barcoding is a pivotal technique for the investigation of the microscale world, from information storage to the monitoring of dynamic biochemical processes. Using fluorescence lifetime as the readout modality offers more reproducible and quantitative outputs compared to conventional fluorescent barcoding, being independent of sample concentration and measurement methods. However, the use of fluorescence lifetime in this area has been limited by the lack of strategies that provide spatiotemporal manipulation of the coding process. In this study, we design a two-component photo-switchable nanogel that exhibits variable fluorescence lifetime upon photoisomerization-induced energy transfer processes through light irradiation. This remotely manipulated fluorescence lifetime property could be visually mapped using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), allowing selective storage and display of information at the microscale. Most importantly, the reversibility of this system further provides a strategy for minimizing the background influence in fluorescence lifetime imaging of live cells and sub-cellular organelles.

Abstract
Optical nanomaterials have been widely used in anticounterfeiting applications. There have been significant developments powered by recent advances in material science, printing technologies, and the availability of smartphone-based decoding technology. Recent progress in this field is surveyed, including the availability of optical reflection, absorption, scattering, and luminescent nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that advances in the design and synthesis of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles will lead to the next generation of anticounterfeiting technologies. Their tunable optical properties and optical responses to a range of external stimuli allow high-security level information encoding. Challenges in the scale-up synthesis of nanomaterials, engineering of assessorial devices for smart-phone-based decryption, and alignment to the potential markets which will lead to new directions for research, are discussed.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the data security technology, increasing attention has been paid to programmable memory materials with desirable security. However, most conventional memory devices only have a single switchable color state. In this research, a kind of pH-responsive Chameleon luminescent sensor (Lap@Eu-OFX, Lap = laponite, OFX = ofloxacin) based on lanthanide doping has been fabricated, which can realize highly contrast, dynamically controlled full-color display by changing the pH value of the solution. The advanced programmable security inks, including the green and red luminescent inks, have been prepared and used to protect confidential information. More interestingly, triethylamine and hydrochloric acid are selected as encryption and decryption reagents, which can repeatedly switch the emission color of important data. Hence, the high-tech security inks show great potential in data coding, multiencryption, and decryption under UV light. Furthermore, the designed dual-channel memory device, Lap@Eu-OFX@CS (CS = Chitosan), enables reversible synchronous switching of sol-gel and emission color when converting from acid to base conditions. This can be dynamically monitored by a subsequent logic gate system and can be converted and stored into binary values. This work provides an effective approach for the design and promising application of information encryptor, smart monitor, and circuit controllers.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been used effectively as light transducers to convert near-infrared irradiation to short-wavelength emissions for photoactivation in deep tissues. UCNPs with single/multiple emissions under excitation at a single wavelength can be used for simultaneous activation of single or multiple photosensitive molecules only; an ideal multifunctional UCNP nanoplatform should not only have the ability to load multiple molecules but also should activate them at the right time with the right dose when necessary, depending upon the application for which it is used. The control of many biological processes requires complex (simultaneous or subsequent) photoactivation at different time points. Subsequent photoactivation requires UCNPs with orthogonal fluorescence emissions, which can be controlled independently. So far, there are only a few reports about UCNPs with orthogonal emissions. Synthesis of these orthogonal emission nanoparticles is complicated and tedious because nanoparticles with multiple shells need to be synthesized, and different lanthanide ions need to be doped into different shells. Also, there is no flexibility for changing the doped ions and emission profile after the nanoparticles are produced. Here, we have demonstrated a versatile method to modularly assemble individual UCNPs into UCNP clusters (UCNPs-C) with adjustable emissions. The synthesis is much easier, and there is a lot of flexibility in changing the particle size, shape, doped ions, and emission profile. We have demonstrated the use of such UCNPs-C for color encoding at the nanoscale. We further designed orthogonal photoactivatable UCNPs-C (OP-UCNPs-C), which can be independently activated under 980 nm excitation for red emission and 808 nm excitation for UV/blue emission. These OP-UCNPs-C were used for independent activation of processes for cell imaging (980 nm) and drug delivery (808 nm). In comparison to the traditional nonprogrammed activation, a programmed controlled imaging and drug delivery process could guarantee highly targeted and enhanced cell death of cancerous cells.

Abstract
Achieving efficient and biocompatible detachment between adhered wet materials (i.e., tissues and hydrogels) is a major challenge. Recently, photodetachable topological adhesion has shown great promise as a strategy for conquering this hurdle. However, this photodetachment was triggered by UV light with poor biocompatibility and penetration capacity. This study describes near-infrared (NIR) light-detached topological adhesion based on polyacrylic acid coated upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP@PAA) and a photodetachable adhesive (termed Cell-Fe). Cell-Fe is a coordinated topological adhesive consisting of carboxymethylcellulose and Fe3+ that can be photodecomposed by UV light. To prepare a substrate for NIR-detached topological adhesion, UCNP@PAA and Cell-Fe were mixed and brushed on the surface of the model adherent. The UCNP@PAA can harvest NIR light and convert it into UV light, triggering the decomposition of the Cell-Fe and inducing the detachment. This NIR-detached topological adhesion is also feasible in deep tissue because of the ability of NIR light to penetrate tissue.

Abstract
The optogenetic neuron ablation approach enables noninvasive remote decoding of specific neuron function within a complex living organism in high spatiotemporal resolution. However, it suffers from shallow tissue penetration of visible light with low ablation efficiency. This study reports a upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based multiplex proteins activation tool to ablate deep-tissue neurons for locomotion modulation. By optimizing the dopant contents and nanoarchitecure, over 300-fold enhancement of blue (450-470 nm) and red (590-610 nm) emissions from UCNPs is achieved upon 808 nm irradiation. Such emissions simultaneously activate mini singlet oxygen generator and Chrimson, leading to boosted near infrared (NIR) light-induced neuronal ablation efficiency due to the synergism between singlet oxygen generation and intracellular Ca2+ elevation. The loss of neurons severely inhibits reverse locomotion, revealing the instructive role of neurons in controlling motor activity. The deep penetrance NIR light makes the current system feasible for in vivo deep-tissue neuron elimination. The results not only provide a rapidly adoptable platform to efficient photoablate single- and multiple-cells, but also define the neural circuits underlying behavior, with potential for development of remote therapy in diseases.

Abstract
In this study, we designed the luminescent enhanced composites by combining upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and photonic crystals (PCs), and prepared multi-mode coding patterns through utilizing the optical properties of both materials, respectively. We prepared UCNPs with different luminescence and the composite materials can be quickly obtained by spin-coating the UCNPs on the surface of the PCs. We discover that the composite materials have significant luminescent enhancement and the enhancement of upconversion is attributed to the Bragg reflection of the photonic band gap. We fabricated upconversion luminescent lattices based on the surface of the PCs by dropping and endowed with the meaning of the Morse code so that it can have more information in different modes. In addition, we further obtained the cipher table pattern according to the structural color of the PCs and the luminescence of the UCNPs. The results reveal great potential applications in the field of multi-mode optical imaging and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive photoluminescent materials have attracted considerable attention owing to their potential applications in security protection because the information recorded directly in materials with static luminescent outputs are usually visible under either ambient or UV light. Herein, we realize reversible information anticounterfeiting by loading a photoswitchable diarylethene derivative into a lanthanide metal-organic framework (MOF). Light triggers the open- and closed-form isomerization of the diarylethene unit, which respectively regulates the inactivation and activation of the photochromic FRET process between the diarylethene acceptor and lanthanide donor, resulting in reversible luminescence on-off switching of the lanthanide emitting center in the MOF host. This photoresponsive host-guest system allows for reversible multiple information pattern visible/invisible transformation by simply alternating the exposure to UV and visible light.

Abstract
Barcoding facilitates high-throughput analytical methods in complex matrixes with a reduced volume of sample, reagents, time, and cost. Because of orthogonality to fluorescence, photon-upconversion barcodes attracted considerable attention in recent years. We constructed an epiluminescence detector, which, for the first time, demonstrated the reading of photon-upconversion spectra from microdroplets in a microfluidic chip with frequency up to 10 Hz. Non-negative least-squares deconvolution enabled the reading of an unprecedented number of photon-upconversion barcode channels (six) from emission spectra (excitation 980 nm, emission 430-875 nm). The standard deviation of barcode reading from microdroplets was ∼1%. Described barcoding can be, for example, used for multiparameter titrations, multiplexed biological and chemical assays, optimizations on a microfluidic platform, and preparation of barcoded concentration gradients and libraries.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles prepared by organic template-driven synthesis have been successfully explored as carriers of the drug-derivate green luminescent complex of terbium (III) with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ketoprofen. The terbium (III) complex was synthesized by reacting ketoprofen sodium salt with terbium (III) chloride, which was further adsorbed onto the surface of mesoporous nanoparticles with a mean particle size of 47 ± 4 nm and pore size of 11 nm. The incorporation of the complex into mesoporous silica nanoparticles was tracked by the decrease in the surface area and pore size of the nanoparticles, and successfully demonstrated by substantial changes in the adsorption isotherms and thermal and vibrational spectroscopy results. The cytotoxicity assay and confocal microscopy have shown that the novel luminescent nanohybrid presents high cell viability and the characteristic terbium (III) emission can be assessed through two-photon excitation, which paves the way for bioimaging applications in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) rank among the most promising luminescent nanomaterials for anti-counterfeiting application owing to their high fluorescence quantum yield and nontoxicity. Herein, we report a novel, high-level security performance anti-counterfeiting strategy achieved by fluorescence-lifetime-encoded CD fluorescent inks. CD-inks have identical steady-state emission properties, but they have distinctive and well-separated fluorescence lifetimes, allowing authentication of security tags using exclusively fluorescence lifetime imaging. A proof-of-concept anti-counterfeiting tag using CD-based lifetime-encoded inks is demonstrated. The developed CD lifetime-based anti-counterfeit technology is awaited to be applicable to a wide spectrum of security-protecting purposes. Furthermore, the presented method can be easily extended to integrate fluorescence-lifetime-encoded CDs in multichannel bioimaging, high-throughput flow cytometry, and optical data storage.

Abstract
Upconversion emission dynamics have long been believed to be determined by the activator and its interaction with neighboring sensitizers. Herein this assumption is, however, shown to be invalid for nanostructures. We demonstrate that excitation energy migration greatly affects upconversion emission dynamics. "Dopant ions' spatial separation" nanostructures are designed as model systems and the intimate link between the random nature of energy migration and upconversion emission time behavior is unraveled by theoretical modelling and confirmed spectroscopically. Based on this new fundamental insight, we have successfully realized fine control of upconversion emission time behavior (either rise or decay process) by tuning the energy migration paths in various specifically designed nanostructures. This result is significant for applications of this type of materials in super resolution spectroscopy, high-density data storage, anti-counterfeiting, and biological imaging.

Abstract
At the core of luminescence color and lifetime tuning of rare earth doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), is the understanding of the impact of the particle architecture for commonly used sensitizer (S) and activator (A) ions. In this respect, a series of core@shell NaYF4 UCNPs doped with Yb3+ and Ho3+ ions are presented here, where the same dopant concentrations are distributed in different particle architectures following the scheme: YbHo core and YbHo@…, …@YbHo, Yb@Ho, Ho@Yb, YbHo@Yb, and Yb@YbHo core-shell NPs. As revealed by quantitative steady-state and time-resolved luminescence studies, the relative spatial distribution of the A and S ions in the UCNPs and their protection from surface quenching has a critical impact on their luminescence characteristics. Although the increased amount of Yb3+ ions boosts UCNP performance by amplifying the absorption, the Yb3+ ions can also efficiently dissipate the energy stored in the material through energy migration to the surface, thereby reducing the overall energy transfer efficiency to the activator ions. The results provide yet another proof that UC phosphor chemistry combined with materials engineering through intentional core@shell structures may help to fine-tune the luminescence features of UCNPs for their specific future applications in biosensing, bioimaging, photovoltaics, and display technologies.

Abstract
Enzyme activity is important for metabolism, cell functions, and treating diseases. However, remote control of enzyme activity in deep tissue remains a challenge. This study demonstrates near-infrared (NIR) light-regulated enzyme activity in living cells based on upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) and a photoactivatable Ru complex. The Ru complex is a caged enzyme inhibitor that can be activated by blue light. To prepare a nanocarrier for NIR photoinhibition of enzyme activity, a UCNP and the caged enzyme inhibitors are encapsulated in a hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle. In such a nanocarrier, the UCNP can harvest NIR light and convert it into blue light, which can activate the caged enzyme inhibitors. This photoactivation process is feasible in deep tissue because of the tissue penetration ability of NIR light. The nanocarrier is compatible to LNCaP, PC3, and SAOS-2 cells, which show high enzyme expression. NIR irradiation induces release of the inhibitors and inhibition of enzyme activity in living cells. NIR light provides high spatiotemporal resolution to regulate enzyme activity in deep tissue.
