Wang X, Zhu H, Liu Y, Li J, Cao L, Du J, Lin H. Modulating Near-Infrared Persistent Luminescence via Diverse Preparation Approaches. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:1613. [PMID: 39404340 PMCID: PMC11478689 DOI: 10.3390/nano14191613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2024] [Revised: 10/03/2024] [Accepted: 10/08/2024] [Indexed: 10/19/2024]
Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials have attracted extensive attention due to their great promise in medical diagnostics, bio-imaging, night vision surveillance, multi-level anticounterfeiting, and information encryption. To achieve NIR PersL (micro/nano-) materials with the desired properties, a variety of synthesis methods have been employed, including solid-phase reaction and liquid-phase synthesis. Different synthesis methods have different but important effects on the micro/nano-structure, luminescence, and PersL properties of the materials. Moreover, the influence of various synthesis methods on the properties of NIR PersL materials determines the selection of preparation approaches for other new material systems. Taking the representative NIR PersL ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ material as an example, four synthesis procedures are applied, namely, high-temperature solid-state reaction (SSR), high-temperature molten salt method (MSM), hydrothermal method (HM), and microwave-assisted solid-state (MASS) method. The structural and luminescent properties of samples made by SSR, MSM, HM, and MASS are compared. Notably, it is revealed that the MASS method can create additional trapping energy levels, which is of great significance for emerging applications. This work demonstrates the different effects of synthesis methods on PersL performance and provides a good guideline for the rapid and reasonable selection of preparation methods for diverse applications.

Abstract
Smart stimuli-responsive persistent luminescence materials, combining the various advantages and frontier applications prospects, have gained booming progress in recent years. The trap-controlled property and energy storage capability to respond to external multi-stimulations through diverse luminescence pathways make them attractive in emerging multi-responsive smart platforms. This review aims at the recent advances in trap-controlled luminescence materials for advanced multi-stimuli-responsive smart platforms. The design principles, luminescence mechanisms, and representative stimulations, i.e., thermo-, photo-, mechano-, and X-rays responsiveness, are comprehensively summarized. Various emerging multi-responsive hybrid systems containing trap-controlled luminescence materials are highlighted. Specifically, temperature dependent trapping and de-trapping performance is discussed, from extreme-low temperature to ultra-high temperature conditions. Emerging applications and future perspectives are briefly presented. It is hoped that this review would provide new insights and guidelines for the rational design and performance manipulation of multi-responsive materials for advanced smart platforms.

Abstract
Multimodal luminescence involves color-tunable and wavelength manageable photon emissions upon variable luminescence pathways in response to different external stimuli, which provides clear visualization and high-level confidentiality for information encryption technologies. Integrating multimodal luminescence into a single matrix is regarded as a feasible strategy but remains a big challenge. In this work, multimodal (photoluminescence, persistent luminescence, upconversion luminescence, and thermally stimulated luminescence) and multicolor luminescence (green, yellow, orange, pink to red) is achieved in CaWO4:Yb3+,Er3+,Eu3+ phosphor by employing an interplay of traps and rare earth emission centers. Bright emission in a wide color gamut is achieved dynamically in response to thermal disturbance and light illumination, which further allows for on-demand emission manipulation in space and time dimensions. The compatible coexistence of multiple rare earth emissive centers together with abundant photoactive traps contributes to the excellent integration of multimodal photon emissions in calcium tungstate. This work provides a good example of integrating multimodal luminescence into one single matrix and indicates potential in advanced high-level information encryption applications.

Abstract
In vivo imaging technologies have emerged as a powerful tool for both fundamental research and clinical practice. In particular, luminescence imaging in the tissue-transparent near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) region offers tremendous potential for visualizing biological architectures and pathophysiological events in living subjects with deep tissue penetration and high imaging contrast owing to the reduced light-tissue interactions of absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. The distinctive quantum effects of nanocrystals have been harnessed to achieve exceptional photophysical properties, establishing them as a promising category of luminescent probes. In this comprehensive review, the interactions between light and biological tissues, as well as the advantages of NIR light for in vivo luminescence imaging, are initially elaborated. Subsequently, we focus on achieving deep tissue penetration and improved imaging contrast by optimizing the performance of nanocrystal fluorophores. The ingenious design strategies of NIR nanocrystal probes are discussed, along with their respective biomedical applications in versatile in vivo luminescence imaging modalities. Finally, thought-provoking reflections on the challenges and prospects for future clinical translation of nanocrystal-based in vivo luminescence imaging in the NIR region are wisely provided.

Abstract
The extraordinary and unique properties of persistent luminescent (PerLum) nanostructures like storage of charge carriers, extended afterglow, and some other fascinating characteristics like no need for in-situ excitation, and rechargeable luminescence make such materials a primary candidate in the fields of bio-imaging and therapeutics. Apart from this, due to their extraordinary properties they have also found their place in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, latent fingerprinting (LPF), luminescent markings, photocatalysis, solid-state lighting devices, glow-in-dark toys, etc. Over the past few years, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging guided photodynamic and photo-thermal therapy, biosensing for cancer detection and subsequent treatment, latent fingerprinting, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their enhanced charge storage ability, in-vitro excitation, increased duration of time between excitation and emission, low tissue absorption, high signal-to-noise ratio, etc. In this review, we have focused on most of the key aspects related to PLNPs, including the different mechanisms leading to such phenomena, key fabrication techniques, properties of hosts and different activators, emission, and excitation characteristics, and important properties of trap states. This review article focuses on recent advances in cancer theranostics with the help of PLNPs. Recent advances in using PLNPs for anti-counterfeiting and latent fingerprinting are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials have demonstrated promising developments for applications in many advanced fields due to their unique optical properties. Both high-temperature solid-state (SS) or hydrothermal (HT) methods can successfully be used to prepare PersL materials. In this work, Zn1.33Ga1.34Sn0.33O4:0.5%Cr3+ (ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+), a newly proposed nanomaterial for bioimaging, was prepared using SS and HT methods. The results show the crystal structure, morphology and optical properties of the samples that were prepared using both methods. Briefly, the crystallite size of the ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+ prepared using the SS method is ~3 µm, and as expected, is larger than materials prepared using the HT method. However, the growth process used in the hydrothermal environment promotes the formation of ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+ with more uniform shapes and smaller sizes (less than 500 nm). Different diameter ranges of nanoparticles were obtained using HT and ball milling (BM) methods (ranging from 25-50 nm) and by using SS and BM methods (25-200 nm) as well. In addition, the SS-prepared microstructure material has stronger PersL than HT-prepared particles before they go through ball milling to create nanomaterials. On the contrary, after BM treatment, ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+ HT and BM NPs present higher PersL and photoluminescence (PL) properties than ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+ SS and BM NPs, even though both kinds of NPs present worse PersL and PL compared to the original particles before BM. To summarize: preparation methods, whether by SS or HT, with additional grinding as a second step, can have a significant impact on the morphological and luminescent features of ZGSO:0.5%Cr3+ PersL materials.

Abstract
In recent years, infrared emitting luminescent nanothermometers have attracted significant attention because their potential for the development of new diagnosis and therapy procedures. Despite their promising applications, concerns have been raised about their reliability due to the spectral distortions induced by tissues that are present even in the commonly used second biological window (1000-1370 nm). In this work, we present an innovative solution to this issue by demonstrating the effectiveness of shifting the operation range of these nanothermometers to the third biological window (1550-1850 nm). Through experimental evidence using ytterbium, erbium, and thulium tri-doped CaF2 nanoparticles, we demonstrate that luminescence spectra acquired in the third biological window are minimally distorted by the presence of tissue, opening the way to reliable luminescence thermometry. In addition, advanced analysis (singular value decomposition) of emission spectra allows sub-degree thermal uncertainties to be achieved.

Abstract
Polycrystalline erbium-doped Y3(AlxGa1-x)5O12 (Er-YAGG) nanofilms with various Al/Ga compositions are deposited on silicon using atomic layer deposition followed by annealing at different temperatures. The Al/Ga ratios and the corresponding annealing temperatures required for crystallization are confirmed by investigating the diffraction patterns and micro-morphologies. The co-alloying of Al and Ga compositions controllably changes the lattice constant and impacts the grain growth. The crystal-field splitting of doped Er3+ ions is also modified, manifesting different electroluminescence (EL) spectra that also indicate the crystallization of garnet matrices. The EL performance of a device based on the Y3Al2Ga3O12 nanofilm (1.39 at% Er dopant) annealed at 900 °C is improved due to the adjustment of morphology and microstructural perturbations that are beneficial for radiative transition. The optimal EL device exhibits a low onset voltage of ∼25 V and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 3.29%. The excitation cross-section under electrical pumping is estimated to be 1.18 × 10-15 cm2. The carrier transport of these co-alloyed Er-YAGG devices conforms to the Poole-Frenkel mechanism. Both the EL decay lifetime and the device operation time increase with the incorporation of Ga within the Er-YAGG nanofilms. These Er-YAGG devices with tunable optoelectronic properties manifest promising potential for the engineering of light sources compatible with CMOS technology.

Abstract
After excitation is stopped, long persistent phosphor materials (LPPs) can emit light for a long time. The most important feature is that it allows the separation of excitation and emission in time. Therefore, it plays a vital role in various fields such as data storage, information technology, and biomedicine. Owing to the unique mechanism of storage and luminescence, LPPs can avoid the interference of sample autofluorescence, as well as show strong tissue penetration ability, good afterglow performance, and rich spectral information in the near-infrared (NIR) region, which provides a broad prospect for the application of NIR LPPs in the field of biomedicine. In recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been advanced significantly, such as biological imaging, sensing detection, and surgical guidance. In this review, we focus on the synthesis methods and luminescence mechanisms of different types of NIR LPPs, as well as their applications in bioimaging, biosensing detection, and cancer treatment in the field of biomedicine. Finally, future prospects and challenges of NIR LPPs in biomedical applications are also discussed.

Abstract
A new approach for the synthesis of Y3Al2Ga3O12 (YAGG) nanophosphors allowing the preparation of crystallites with sizes starting from 45 nm is presented. The controllability of the energy and trap density of the resulting material samples by annealing temperature was confirmed by thermoluminescence (TL) measurements. It has been shown that the annealing of samples at temperatures up to 1300 °C does not cause any substantial growth of crystallites, still remaining below 100 nm, but leads to changes in the activation energy of the persistent luminescence (PersL) process. On the other hand, annealing above 1400 °C results in grain growth on the submicron scale, which was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and electron transmission microscopy (TEM) measurements. In addition, with an increase in the molar ratio of urea to the total amount of metals used (R), qualitative changes are observed in the PersL process occurring from the excited states of Cr3+ and Pr3+ ions. This proves the influence of the synthesis process, in particular of the metal complexation at its initial stage, on the final structure ordering in the annealed materials. These observations are linked to previously reported defects in the YAGG structure, leading to PersL.

Abstract
In the current work, YAGG:Cr3+ nanophosphors were synthesized by the Pechini method and then annealed at different temperatures in the range 800–1300 °C. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD). The lattice parameters and average crystalline sizes as site occupation by Al3+ and Ga3+ ions were calculated from the Rietveld refinement data. To investigate the effect of crystalline size of the materials on their optical properties: excitation and emission spectra were recorded and analyzed. Finally, the effect of crystalline size on the probability of carrier recombination leading to PersL was determined experimentally with thermoluminescence analyses. The Tmax-Tstop method was applied to determine the trap type and particle size (calcination temperature) effect on their redistribution. A correlation between structural changes and trap redistribution was found. In particular, the extinction of high-temperature TL maximum with increasing annealing temperatures is observed, while low-temperature TL maximum increases and reaches a maximum when the lattice parameter reaches saturation.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis of H2O2 using earth-abundant water and oxygen is a promising approach to achieve scalable and cost-effective solar fuel production. Recent studies on this topic have made significant progress, yet are mainly focused on using organic polymers. This set of photocatalysts is susceptible to potent oxidants (e.g. hydroxyl radical) that are inevitably formed during H2O2 generation. Here, we report an inorganic Mo-doped faceted BiVO4 (Mo:BiVO4) system that is resistant to radical oxidation and exhibits a high overall H2O2 photosynthesis efficiency among inorganic photocatalysts, with an apparent quantum yield of 1.2% and a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.29% at full spectrum, as well as an apparent quantum yield of 5.8% at 420 nm. The surface-reaction kinetics and selectivity of Mo:BiVO4 were tuned by precisely loading CoOx and Pd on {110} and {010} facets, respectively. Time-resolved spectroscopic investigations of photocarriers suggest that depositing select cocatalysts on distinct facet tailored the interfacial energetics between {110} and {010} facets and enhanced charge separation in Mo:BiVO4, therefore overcoming a key challenge in developing efficient inorganic photocatalysts. The promising H2O2 generation efficiency achieved by delicate design of catalyst spatial and electronic structures sheds light on applying robust inorganic particulate photocatalysts to artificial photosynthesis of H2O2. An inorganic and robust photocatalytic system based on Mo-doped faceted BiVO4 particles exhibits a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.29% for H2O2 generation, a new record among inorganic systems.

Abstract
Broadband shortwave infrared (SWIR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), capable of advancing the next-generation solid-state smart invisible lighting technology, have sparked tremendous interest and will launch ground-breaking spectroscopy and instrumental applications. Nevertheless, the device performance is still suppressed by the low quantum efficiency and limited emission bandwidth of the critical phosphor layer. Herein, we report a high-performance Ni2+-doped garnet solid-solution broadband SWIR emitter centered at ∼1450 nm with a large full-width at half-maximum of ∼300 nm, thereby fabricating, for the first time, a directly excited Ni2+-doped garnet solid-solution phosphor-converted broadband SWIR LED device. A synergetic enhancement strategy, adding a fluxing agent and a charge compensator simultaneously, is proposed to deliver a more than 20-fold increase of the SWIR emission intensity and nearly 2-fold improvement of the thermal quenching behavior. The site occupation and mechanism behind the synergetic enhancement strategy are elucidated by a combination of experimental study and theoretical calculation. A prototype of the SWIR LED with a radiation flux of 1.25 mW is fabricated and utilized as an invisible SWIR light source to demonstrate the SWIR spectroscopy applications. This work not only opens a window to explore novel broadband SWIR phosphors but also provides a synergetic strategy to remarkably improve the performance of artificial SWIR LED light sources.

Abstract
The series of Gd3-xCexGa3Al2O12 nanopowders doped with different concentrations of Ce3+ ions were prepared by Pechini (sol-gel) and combustion methods. The structure and morphology of the powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. It was found that the synthesis method has a great impact on the morphology and, consequently, spectroscopic properties of the powders. Optical properties of the powders were examined using excitation, emission, and luminescence kinetic measurements. For all powders, persistent luminescence and emission decay processes were studied. The most intense luminescence was observed for the powder with 0.5 mol % of Ce3+ synthesized using the combustion method and 1 mol % in the case of the sol-gel sample. The longest and brightest persistent luminescence was observed for the powders doped with 0.1 mol % (combustion) and 0.2 mol % of Ce3+ ions (sol-gel). The thermoluminescence measurements were done for the powders prepared using different methods to understand the impact of the synthesis conditions on the number and depths of the traps involved in persistent luminescence. On the basis of spectroscopic measurements, the mechanism of persistent luminescence was constructed and discussed.

Abstract
In this work, a tunable luminescence color from yellow to orange of photoluminescence (PL), long persistent luminescence (LPL), and photostimulated luminescence (PSL) is successfully achieved in BaGa2O4:Bi3+ phosphors with the introduction of Sr2+ ions as secondary cations. It is confirmed that broad-band emissions located at 500 and 600 nm originate from the occupation of Bi3+ ions at different lattice sites in the BaGa2O4 host matrix. The replacement of Sr2+ for Ba2+ ions makes the emission red-shift from 600 to 650 nm; moreover, two additional emissions appeare at 743 and 810 nm due to the occupational preference of Bi3+ ions at Ga3+ sites. Furthermore, the doped Sr2+ ions promote the reconstruction of the trapping centers, which conduces to the fundamental improvement of the optical storage capacity behavior of Bi3+-doped phosphors. Our results clarify the dependence of the luminescence performance on the crystal sites of Bi3+ ions with fascinating broad-band emissions in the BaGa2O4:0.01Bi3+ host matrix and will benefit the design and exploration of Bi3+-doped solid solutions for optical storage applications.

Abstract
Visible and infrared persistent phosphors have gained considerable attention in recent years and are being widely used as glow-in-the-dark materials in dark environments. In contrast, the progress in persistent phosphors emitting at the other end of the spectrum, i.e., the shorter-wavelength ultraviolet-C (UVC; 200-280 nm), is rather slow. Here we report the design and synthesis of a well-performing Pr3+-doped UVC emissive persistent phosphor, Lu2SiO5:Pr3+, which exhibits intense UVC persistent luminescence peaking at 270 nm and a long persistence time of more than 12 h after excitation with a 254 nm UV lamp. Besides, the UVC persistent luminescence of a UV pre-irradiated sample can be repeatedly revived after repeated short-illumination with low-energy white light via a process called photostimulated persistent luminescence. Owing to the distinct spectral features of UVC light and the self-sustained luminescence properties, the UVC persistent luminescence of the Lu2SiO5:Pr3+ persistent phosphor can be clearly monitored and imaged using a corona camera in bright environments including direct sunlight and indoor light. The Lu2SiO5:Pr3+ persistent phosphor is expected to find promising applications in the covert optical tagging field.

Abstract
Based on the actual application requirements of multicolor long persistent luminescence (LPL) materials, we highlight the recent developments in the last decade on human-eye-sensitive LPL materials and try to make a full list of known LPL compounds possessing wavelengths of 400-600 nm and a duration time longer than 10 h (>0.32 mcd/m2); these are more sensitive to the human eye's night vision and can be used throughout the night. We further emphasize our group research of novel LPL materials and the regulation of LPL color to enable a full palette. In the end, we try to summarize the challenges and perspectives of LPL materials for potential research directions based on our limited understandings. This review could offer new enlightenment for further exploration of new LPL materials in the visible light range and related applications.

Abstract
Materials with near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) and NIR-to-NIR photostimulated luminescence (PSL) properties are attractive platforms for photonic energy harvesting and release. In this work, we develop Mg2SnO4:Cr as a broadband NIR PersL and NIR-to-NIR PSL material (luminescence maxima at ∼800 nm) and reveal the origin of the PersL and PSL properties. The material has an inverse spinel structure with the Mg2+ and Sn4+ disorder at the Wyckoff 16d site based on the Rietveld refinement. Cr K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra uncover that the doped Cr ions have a +3 valence state and occupy the disordered (Mg,Sn) site with octahedral coordination. The disorder results in multiple Cr3+ centers, and the broadband luminescence originates from the 4T2(4F) → 4A2 transition of Cr3+ at sites with intermediate crystal field strength. The distribution of trap depths is continuous according to the analysis of thermoluminescence (TL) spectra using the initial rising method, which relates to the random distribution of Mg2+ and Sn4+ at the second coordination sphere of the Cr3+ centers rather than the oxygen-related defects. Stimulating the material with a NIR laser, the NIR PersL gets significantly enhanced due to a PSL process. The broadband PersL and PSL are detectable beyond 100 h and have good tissue penetrability and therefore the developed Mg2SnO4:Cr3+ has potential in applications of optical information storage/reading and autofluorescence-free bioimaging. Finally, three crystal and electronic structure factors are proposed for screening new Cr3+-activated PersL and PSL materials.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence phosphors (PLPs) are largely used in biomedical areas owing to their unique advantages in reducing the autofluorescence and light-scattering interference from tissues. Moreover, PLPs with long-lived luminescence in the near-infrared (NIR) region are able to be applied in deep-tissue bioimaging or therapy due to the reduced light absorption of tissues in NIR region. Because of their abundant election levels and energy transfer channels, lanthanides are widely doped in PLPs for the generation of NIR persistent emissions. In addition, the crystal defects introduced by lanthanides-doping can serves as charge traps in PLPs, which contributes to the enhancement of persistent luminescence intensity and the increase of persistent time. In this paper, the research progress in the synthesis and biomedical applications of lanthanides-doped PLPs with NIR emissions are systematically summarized, which can provide instructions for the design and applications of PLPs in the future.

Abstract
Benefiting from near-infrared persistent luminescence, chromium-doped zinc gallate nanoparticles have become appealing for background-free biomedical imaging applications, where autofluorescence from adjacent tissues no longer poses a problem. Nevertheless, the synthesis of persistent luminescent nanoparticles with controllable and biologically appropriate size, high luminescence intensity, and long persistent duration remains very challenging. Herein, we report a solvothermal synthetic route for preparing differently sized ZnGa2O4:Cr nanoparticles with a particle size tunable from 4 to 31 nm and afterglow duration longer than 20 h. The route involves lower reaction temperatures and involves no reworking of the particles postsynthesis, providing materials that have far fewer unwanted defects and much higher luminescence yields (up to 51%). It was found that methanol played a paramount role in obtaining the Cr3+-doped ZnGa2O4 nanoparticles. The effects of methanol were discussed in combination with NMR spectroscopy studies and theoretical calculations, and the underlying alcohol-mediated growth and doping mechanisms were elucidated, which will be beneficial for developing highly persistent luminescent nanoparticles.

Abstract
Long persistent phosphors (LPPs) with ultraviolet (UV) luminescence have great potential for application in the fields of biomedicine, environmental, and catalysis. However, it is currently limited by the design and development of remarkable UV LPPs with a suitable spectral region and an ultralong afterglow decay time. Herein, we develop a new type of Bi3+-activated LiScGeO4 LPP, which exhibits bright ultraviolet-A (UVA) persistent luminescence (PersL). Because of the existence of numerous stabilized effective traps, the as-synthesized phosphors can undergo an ultralong PersL decay time far longer than 12 h. The PersL properties, effective trap depths, distributions, and types, as well as the possible mechanism for the PersL behavior of LiScGeO4:Bi3+, are comprehensively surveyed utilizing PersL excitation spectra, PersL decay analyses, thermoluminescence experiments, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work can cover the shortage of LPPs in the UV region and also can lay the foundation for the development of more excellent UV LPPs toward versatile novel applications.

Broadband infrared LEDs based on europium-to-terbium charge transfer luminescence. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3647.

Abstract
Efficient broadband infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are needed for emerging applications that exploit near-IR spectroscopy, ranging from hand-held electronics to medicine. Here we report broadband IR luminescence, cooperatively originating from Eu2+ and Tb3+ dopants in CaS. This peculiar emission overlaps with the red Eu2+ emission, ranges up to 1200 nm (full-width-at-half-maximum of 195 nm) and is efficiently excited with visible light. Experimental evidence for metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) luminescence is collected, comprising data from luminescence spectroscopy, microscopy and X-ray spectroscopy. State-of-the-art multiconfigurational ab initio calculations attribute the IR emission to the radiative decay of a metastable MMCT state of a Eu2+-Tb3+ pair. The calculations explain why no MMCT emission is found in the similar compound SrS:Eu,Tb and are used to anticipate how to fine-tune the characteristics of the MMCT luminescence. Finally, a near-IR LED for versatile spectroscopic use is manufactured based on the MMCT emission. Broadband near-infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are desirable for smart devices and bio-imaging applications, but the efficiency is limited by the phosphor materials. The authors report broadband emission in Eu-Tb co-doped CaS due to metal-to-metal charge transfer between dopants, and build a broadband near-IR LED with output surpassing the state of the art.

Abstract
In this paper, we have designed long afterglow luminescent MgGeO3:Mn2+,Yb3+,Li+ (MGO) nanoparticles in the first (NIR-I) and second (NIR-II) biological windows. Yb3+ ions served not only as the trap center to enhance the NIR-I long afterglow emission of Mn2+ at 680 nm, but also as an emitting center to produce a NIR-II long afterglow emission at ∼1000 nm. Furthermore, we have found the addition of Li+ can greatly increase the NIR-II afterglow emission of Yb3+ and the optimal amount of Mn2+, Yb3+ and Li+ was found to be 0.1, 0.5 and 0.5 mol%, respectively. The MGO nanoparticles synthesized using sol-gel methods showed a uniform morphology with a diameter of 50-100 nm, which were suitable for applications in bioimaging. More importantly, we have found MGO nanoparticles can be effectively excited to produce long persistent NIR-I and II luminescence using soft X-rays, suggesting that low dosage soft X-rays can also serve as a more powerful and deep tissue excitation source to recharge MGO nanoparticles. Furthermore, the MGO nanoparticles can also be re-excited to produce photo-stimulated emission under the irradiation of 650 and 808 nm NIR lasers. The in vivo imaging results have shown that MGO nanoparticles modified with folic acid (FA) can effectively realize super long-term targeted in vivo imaging of inflammation with a high sensitivity via recharging using soft X-rays and NIR lasers, which can provide not only an accurate diagnosis of inflammation, but also long-term monitoring of possible changes in the focus of inflammation in real time.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) photostimulated luminescence (PSL) nanocrystals (NCs) have recently evoked considerable interest in the field of biomedicine, but are currently limited by the controlled synthesis of efficient PSL NCs. Herein, we report for the first time the controlled synthesis of CaS:Eu2+,Sm3+ NIR PSL NCs through a high-temperature co-precipitation method. The role of Sm3+ co-doping and the effect of thermal annealing on the optical properties of the NCs as well as the charging and discharging processes, the trap depth distribution, and the underlying PSL mechanism are comprehensively surveyed by means of photoluminescence, persistent luminescence, thermoluminescence, and PSL spectroscopies. The as-prepared NCs exhibit intense PSL of Eu2+ at 650 nm with a fast response to stimulation in a broad NIR region from 800 nm to 1600 nm, a duration time longer than 2 h, and an extremely low power density threshold down to 10 mW cm-2 at 980 nm. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the intense NIR PSL, we demonstrate the application of CaS:Eu2+,Sm3+ NCs as sensitive luminescent nanoprobes for biotin receptor-targeted cancer cell imaging. These results reveal the great promise of CaS:Eu2+,Sm3+ nanoprobes for autofluorescence-free bioimaging, and also lay the foundation for future design of efficient NIR PSL nanoprobes towards versatile bioapplications.

Abstract
The development of probes for biomolecular imaging and diagnostics is a very active research area. Among the different imaging modalities, optics emerged since it is a noninvasive and cheap imaging technique allowing real time imaging. In vitro, this technique is very useful however in vivo, fluorescence suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio due to tissue autofluorescence under constant excitation. To address this limitation, novel types of optical nanoprobes are actually being developed and among them, persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs), with long lasting near-infrared (NIR) luminescence capability, allows doing optical imaging without constant excitation and so without autofluorescence. This review will begin by introducing the physical phenomenon associated to the long luminescence decay of such nanoprobes, from minutes to hours after ceasing the excitation. Then we will show how this property can be used to develop in vivo imaging probes and also more recently nanotheranostic agents. Finally, preliminary data on their biocompatibility will be mentioned and we will conclude by envisioning on the future applications and improvements of such nanomaterials.

[PMID: 31885866 PMCID: PMC6930285 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-019-0235-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2019] [Revised: 11/26/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) is the phenomenon describing the emission of light during mechanical action on a solid, leading to applications such as pressure sensing, damage detection and visualization of stress distributions. In most cases, this mechanical action releases energy that was previously stored in the crystal lattice of the phosphor by means of trapped charge carriers. A drawback is the need to record the ML emission during a pressure event. In this work, we provide a method for adding a memory function to these pressure-sensitive phosphors, allowing an optical readout of the location and intensity of a pressure event in excess of 72 h after the event. This is achieved in the BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor, where a broad trap depth distribution essential for the process is present. By merging optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and ML measurements, the influence of light, heat and pressure on the trap depth distribution is carefully analysed. This analysis demonstrates that mechanical action can not only lead to direct light emission but also to a reshuffling of trap occupations. This memory effect not only is expected to lead to new pressure sensing applications but also offers an approach to study charge carrier transitions in energy storage phosphors.

Abstract
Deep-trap persistent luminescent materials, due to their exceptional ability of energy storage and controllable photon release under external stimulation, have attracted considerable attention in the field of optical information storage. Currently, the lack of suitable materials is still the bottleneck that restrains their practical applications. Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of deep-trap persistent luminescent materials Y3Al5- xGa xO12:Ce3+,V3+ ( x = 0-3) with a garnet structure and developed novel phosphor-in-glass (PiG) films containing these phosphors. The synthesized PiG films exhibited sufficiently deep traps, narrow trap depth distributions, high trap density, high quantum efficiency, and excellent chemical stability, which solved the problem of chemical stability at high temperatures in the reported phosphor-in-silicone films. Moreover, the trap depth in the phosphors and PiG films could be tailored from 1.2 to 1.6 eV, thanks to the bandgap engineering effect, and the emission color was simultaneously changed from green to yellow due to the variation of crystal field strength. Image information was recorded on the PiG films by using a 450 nm blue-light laser in a laser direct writing mode and the recorded information was retrieved under high-temperature thermal stimulation or photostimulation. The Y3Al5- xGa xO12:Ce3+,V3+ PiG films as presented in this work are very promising in the applications of multidimensional and rewritable optical information storage.
