Abstract
Tunable long persistent luminescence (LPL) phosphor materials have great potential for optoelectronic cryptographic applications. However, the mainstream techniques of modulating LPL generally have the characteristics of complex preparation processes, demanding crystal field environments, or expensive dopant ions, which restrict large-scale commercial application. Herein, we develop a simple, high-efficiency, and low-cost strategy to optimize the LPL of LiGaO2(LGO):Cu2+ by changing the sintering time to regulate the degree of crystal structure distortion. The Cu2+ as charge compensation will substantially enhance the emission intensity of LGO by a factor of 11.02 originating from the appropriate ionic size and coordination mode. Besides, the LPL time of LGO:Cu2+ can be extended effectively to 2 h by adjusting the sintering temperature and time (900 °C@24 h). The extension mechanism is that Li and Ga can be substituted for each other more easily and induce crystal structure distortion due to the special crystal structure of LGO, resulting in an optimal trap concentration in LGO:Cu2+. Thus, our findings provide a simple way to modulate long persistent luminescence and further consider their potential impact on optical information encryption.

Abstract
Deep-trap persistent luminescent (PersL) materials with enriched traps, which allow signals to quickly write-in and read-out with low-energy consumption, are one of the most promising materials for information storage. In this review, considering the demand for optical information storage, we provide comprehensive insights into the data storage mechanism of PersL materials. Particularly, we focus on various "trap-state tuning" strategies involving doping to design new deep-trap persistent phosphors with controlled carrier trapping-de-trapping for non-volatile and high-capacity information storage. Subsequently, various recent significant strategies, including wavelength-multiplexing, intensity-multiplexing, mechanical-multiplexing, and three-dimensional and multidimensional trap-multiplexing technologies for improving the information storage capacity of PersL phosphors are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and opportunities regarding optical information storage by PersL materials are discussed. We hope that this review will provide new insights for the future development of PersL materials in the field of optical data storage.

Abstract
Various yellowish-green persistent phosphors of Y2.95-x-yLuxGdyAl5-zGazO12:0.05Ce3+ (x = 0-1, y = 0-1, z = 1-4) were successfully synthesized by the one-step high-temperature solid-state reaction method in air. The effects of simultaneous doping of Lu3+, Gd3+ and Ga3+ on the luminescence properties of the phosphors were investigated in detail for the first time. Herein, the microstructure, morphology, afterglow performance, luminescence properties, thermoluminescence, thermal quenching and flicker index of the efficient blue-light-activated Y2.95-x-yLuxGdyAl5-zGazO12:0.05Ce3+ phosphors were tested. The τ90 and τ80 values of Y1.45LuGd0.5Al2.5Ga2.5O12:0.05Ce3+ are 10.8 ms and 33.2 ms, respectively. These parameters are important in terms of effectiveness in reducing flicker in alternating current (AC) LEDs. Compared with the conventional Y3Al2Ga3O12:Ce3+ phosphor, the Y1.45LuGd0.5Al2.5Ga2.5O12:0.05Ce3+ phosphor has a better luminescence performance, stronger afterglow performance, and lower flicker index. The quantum yield of the Y1.45LuGd0.5Al2.5Ga2.5O12:0.05Ce3+ phosphor was 86.42% and the luminous efficiency of the LED devices prepared with it reached 92.12 lm W-1 when operated at 100 mA. Integrating sphere and spectroradiometer tests as well as CIE chromaticity diagrams indicate that the AC-WLEDs assembled by mixing the Y1.45LuGd0.5Al2.5Ga2.5O12:0.05Ce3+ phosphor and a commercial red phosphor in an appropriate ratio could obtain ideal white light with a high color-rendering index (87.9) and the flickering index was successfully reduced from 100% to 61.4%.

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
How matrixes influence room temperature ultralong organic phosphorescence (RTUOP) in the doping systems is a fundamental question. In this study, we construct guest-matrix doping phosphorescence systems by using the derivatives (ISO2N-2, ISO2BCz-1, and ISO2BCz-2) of three phosphorescence units (N-2, BCz-1, and BCz-2) and two matrixes (ISO2Cz and DMAP) and systematically investigate their RTUOP properties. Firstly, the intrinsic phosphorescence properties of three guest molecules were studied in solution, in the pure powder state, and in PMMA film. Then, the guest molecules were doped into the two matrixes with increasing weight ratio. To our surprise, all of the doping systems in DMAP feature a longer lifetime but weaker phosphorescence intensity, while all of the doping systems in ISO2Cz exhibit a shorter lifetime but higher phosphorescence intensity. According to the single-crystal analysis of the two matrixes, resemblant chemical structures of the guests and ISO2Cz enable them to approach each other and interact with each other via a variety of interactions, thus facilitating the occurrence of charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR). The HOMO-LUMO energy levels of the guests match well with the ones of ISO2Cz, which also significantly promotes the efficiency of the CS and CR process. To our best knowledge, this work is a systematic study on how matrixes influence the RTUOP of guest-matrix doping systems and may give deep insight into the development of organic phosphorescence.

Abstract
Alternating current light-emitting diodes (AC-LEDs) have received significant attention from both academia and industry due to their remarkable benefits of more compact volume, cheaper manufacturing cost, greater energy usage efficiency, and longer service life. One of the most significant challenges for AC-LEDs is the flicker effect, which is mainly caused by the unavoidable 5-20 ms dimming time. Aiming to reduce the flicker effect, we designed a series of excellent blue-light excited cyan-emitting persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphors BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ via defect engineering of co-doping Bi3+. Interestingly, we found that co-doping Bi3+ not only effectively enhanced the PersL intensity, but also regulated the PersL lifetime of this phosphors. As the Bi3+ co-doping concentration increases to 0.01, the τ80 value (the time when the PersL intensity decreases to 80% of the initial intensity) increases from 0.24 to 19.61 ms, which proves to be effective in compensating the flicker effect of AC-LEDs. A new method of generating white light emission during the dimming time through adding the blue-light excited cyan PersL phosphor to the original orange-red PersL phosphor was proposed and an AC-LED lamp with a decreased percent flicker of 48.15% was fabricated, which is significantly better than the other currently reported AC-LED devices based on PersL phosphors. These results demonstrate that BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ might be an attractive material for low-flicker AC-LEDs.

Abstract
The effect of oxygen vacancies (VO) and the atmosphere influence on persistent luminescence (PersL) in Y3Al2Ga3O12 (YAGG):Ce3+,Yb3+ are investigated by heating it in CO2, air, and 10% H2/90% Ar atmospheres. The VO-rich YAGG phosphors with outstanding PersL are successfully obtained by the common contribution of the reducing atmosphere and the incorporated Yb3+ ions, and the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the phosphors is characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements. Compared to the best sample prepared in neutral CO2, the reduced sample shows an increase of 30% in initial intensity and 100% in duration time, while the oxidized sample decreases drastically and shows a faint and undetectable PersL. The enhancement is mainly caused by the abundant formation of VO, which is achieved by the pairing of VO with Yb2+ ions. The newly created VO by the reducing calcination is inferred to be adjacent to the Yb site and forms a compensation-type defect cluster due to the charge compensation effect. These findings reveal that understanding the effect and formation of VO is of great significance to design a high-performance phosphor.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) emission materials can be widely applied in various fields, such as food detection, imaging, treatment, electronic products. With the trend of miniaturization of equipment, smaller materials are needed. In this work, we successfully synthesized a series of M2Ga2GeO7:N3+(M = Ca, Ba, Sr; N = Cr, Nd, Er) samples and then focused on the study of Nd3+doped Sr2Ga2GeO7(SGGO). A series of SGGO:xNd3+sub-micron phosphors were prepared via a microwave-assisted sol-gel process combined with subsequent calcination at 750 ℃, and the structural information and luminescent properties were systematically studied. SGGO is a representative tetragonal crystal and belonging to the space group of P4¯21m (113). The Nd3+ions occupy eight-coordinated Sr2+sites in the crystal lattice. From SEM analysis, the average particle size distribution is 219.7 ± 41.4 nm. The sub-micron phosphors have rich excitation spectra ranging from 350 nm to 850 nm and can produce multiband NIR emissions of 1331, 1056, and 905 nm when excited by ultraviolet and NIR light. The maximum emission intensity was obtained by optimizing the doping ratio of Nd3+ions. A commercial chip was then utilized to fabricate light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to verify its application potential in NIR-II mini-LEDs. Compared with blue light LEDs, the as-prepared LEDs had good imaging penetration depth and could be clearly observed under 10 mm of chicken breast coverage. The maximum imaging penetration depth can be 33 mm.

X-ray-charged bright persistent luminescence in NaYF 4:Ln 3+@NaYF 4 nanoparticles for multidimensional optical information storage. LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2021; 10:132. [PMID: 34162833 PMCID: PMC8222364 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-021-00575-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
NaYF4:Ln3+, due to its outstanding upconversion characteristics, has become one of the most important luminescent nanomaterials in biological imaging, optical information storage, and anticounterfeiting applications. However, the large specific surface area of NaYF4:Ln3+ nanoparticles generally leads to serious nonradiative transitions, which may greatly hinder the discovery of new optical functionality with promising applications. In this paper, we report that monodispersed nanoscale NaYF4:Ln3+, unexpectedly, can also be an excellent persistent luminescent (PersL) material. The NaYF4:Ln3+ nanoparticles with surface-passivated core-shell structures exhibit intense X-ray-charged PersL and narrow-band emissions tunable from 480 to 1060 nm. A mechanism for PersL in NaYF4:Ln3+ is proposed by means of thermoluminescence measurements and host-referred binding energy (HRBE) scheme, which suggests that some lanthanide ions (such as Tb) may also act as effective electron traps to achieve intense PersL. The uniform and spherical NaYF4:Ln3+ nanoparticles are dispersible in solvents, thus enabling many applications that are not accessible for traditional PersL phosphors. A new 3-dimensional (2 dimensions of planar space and 1 dimension of wavelength) optical information-storage application is demonstrated by inkjet-printing multicolor PersL nanoparticles. The multicolor persistent luminescence, as an emerging and promising emissive mode in NaYF4:Ln3+, will provide great opportunities for nanomaterials to be applied to a wider range of fields.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanophosphors (PLNPs) emitting in the second near-infrared window (1000-1700 nm, NIR-II) are emerging as one promising class of in vivo bio-imaging agents due to their unique advantages including non-autofluorescence and low optical scattering in tissues. Currently, it remains a great challenge to synthesize nanosized lanthanide-doped inorganic NIR-II phosphors with a good persistent luminescence performance. Herein, we present a salt microemulsion method for synthesizing Ce3+, Cr3+, Nd3+ codoped Y3(Al/Ga)5O12 nanocrystals, which generate multi-wavelength persistent luminescence in the visible (∼508 nm, 5d1→ 4f of Ce3+), the first near-infrared window (∼890 nm, 4F3/2→4I9/2 of Nd3+) and NIR-II (∼1063 nm, 4F3/2→4I11/2 of Nd3+) regions. Under illumination of a 410 nm diode (3 W) for 10 min, the observed duration time of NIR-II persistent luminescence is as long as 60 min at room temperature. Moreover, the persistent luminescence can be excited efficiently by multiple excitation sources including a blue diode, white LEDs and an X-ray generator, which is crucial for deep tissue imaging applications. By comparing the penetration depth between NIR-I and NIR-II persistent luminescence through chicken breast, we prove that NIR-II photons exhibit a deeper optical penetration length (3.9 mm) than that of the NIR-I ones (2.5 mm). In addition, the NIR signals can still be detected 3 min after ceasing the excitation source by a small animal imaging system (InGaAs detector) when the thickness of the covering chicken breast is 20 mm. These results show great promise for Y3(Al/Ga)5O12:Ce3+,Cr3+,Nd3+ nanocrystals as a PLNP for bio-imaging applications with deep penetration depth and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Abstract
Y3Al5-xGaxO12:Ce3+,V3+ (YAG:Ce) has excellent chemical stability and unprecedented luminous efficiency. Its strong photoresponsive property is thoroughly utilized in designing excellent optical information storage device. Here, the remarkable photoconductivity of YAG:Ce is exploited to demonstrate a hybrid YAG:Ce-silicon device that shows high speed terahertz wave spatial modulation. A wide terahertz spectra modulation is observed under different pump powers in frequency range from 0.2 to 1.8 THz. Furthermore, a dynamic control of the terahertz wave intensity is also observed in the transmission system. The modulation speed and depth of the device is measured to be 4 MHz (vs 0.2 kHz)and 83.8%(vs50%) for bare silicon, respectively. The terahertz transmission spectra exhibits highly efficiency terahertz modulation by optically pumping a YAG:Ce film on silicon with low optical pump fluence.

Abstract
The launch of the big data era puts forward challenges for information preservation technology, both in storage capacity and security. Herein, a brand new optical storage medium, transparent glass ceramic (TGC) embedded with photostimulated LiGa5O8: Mn2+ nanocrystals, capable of achieving bit-by-bit optical data write-in and read-out in a photon trapping/detrapping mode, is developed. The highly ordered nanostructure enables light-matter interaction with high encoding/decoding resolution and low bit error rate. Importantly, going beyond traditional 2D optical storage, the high transparency of the studied bulk medium makes 3D volumetric optical data storage (ODS) possible, which brings about the merits of expanded storage capacity and improved information security. Demonstration application confirmed the erasable-rewritable 3D storage of binary data and display items in TGC with intensity/wavelength multiplexing. The present work highlights a great leap in photostimulated material for ODS application and hopefully stimulates the development of new multi-dimensional ODS media.

Abstract
Anticounterfeiting is a vitally important issue in modern society. At present, the most commonly used luminescent anticounterfeiting technique is based on static photoluminescence (PL), which is easily counterfeited by certain substitutes. In this work, we report for the first time a dynamic PL material, Na2CaGe2O6:Tb3+. Irradiated by a portable ultraviolet (254 nm) lamp, the PL color of the material due to Tb3+ changes from the initial red to yellow and, finally, green. The investigation reveals that the dynamic PL is due to the presence of appropriate traps and the cross-relaxation effect of Tb3+ in Na2CaGe2O6. By employing this unique dynamic PL material, high-level dynamic luminescent anticounterfeiting and encryption devices can be fabricated. The dynamic PL features of the devices are easily detected using a cheap portable lamp, and at present, it is impossible for the features to be faked by any substitutes. In a virtual military scenario, the results demonstrate that the encryption device is safe and that a spy will be detected. Accordingly, this dynamic PL material could inspire more ingenious security designs.

Abstract
In the current "big data" era, the state-of-the-art optical data storage (ODS) has become a front-runner in the competing data storage technologies. As one of the most promising methods for breaking the physical limitation suffered by traditional ones, the advance of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) based optical storage technique is now still limited by the simultaneous single-level write-in and readout in a same spot. In this work, to bridge the data-capacity gap, we report for the first time a novel and promising nonphysical multidimensional OSL-based ODS flexible medium for erasable multilevel optical data recording and reading. We tailor multidimensional traps with discrete, narrowly distributed energy levels through (multi-)codoping of selective trivalent rare-earth ions into Eu2+-activated barium orthosilicate (Ba2SiO4). Upon UV/blue light illumination, information can be sequentially recorded in different traps assisted by thermal cleaning with an increase of storage capacity by orders of magnitude, which is addressable individually in the whole domain or bit-by-bit mode without the crosstalk by designed thermal/optical stimuli. Remarkably, good data retention and robust fatigue resistance have been achieved in recycle data recording. Insight is forged from charge carrier dynamics and interactions with traps for a universal method of data storage, and proof-of-concept applications are also demonstrated, thereby providing the way to not only rewritable multilevel ODS but also high-security encryption/decryption.

Abstract
In this work we report on the thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties of β-Na(Gd,Lu)F4:Tb3+ nanophosphors prepared via a standard high-temperature coprecipitation route. Irradiating this phosphor with X-rays not only produces radioluminescence but also leads to a bright green afterglow that is detectable up to hours after excitation has stopped. The storage capacity of the phosphor was found to be (2.83 ± 0.05) × 1016 photons/gram, which is extraordinarily high for nano-sized particles and comparable to the benchmark bulk phosphor SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+. By combining TL with OSL, we show that the relatively shallow traps, which dominate the TL glow curves and are responsible for the bright afterglow, can also be emptied optically using 808 or 980 nm infrared light while the deeper traps can only be emptied thermally. This OSL at therapeutically relevant radiation doses is of high interest to the medical dosimetry community, and is demonstrated here in uniform, solution-processable nanocrystals.

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
Long persistence phosphors with high emitting intensity are promising materials for safety signage and energy storage applications. Herein, an improved persistent luminescence of Y3Al2Ga3O12 phosphor by co-doping Ce3+, Yb3+, and B3+ is achieved using conventional solid-state reaction. On one hand, the incorporation of H3BO3 can improve the crystallinity; on the other hand, B3+ can replace Al3+/Ga3+ in tetrahedral sites in the host lattice, causing lattice contraction and modifying the trap depth and density. It is found that adding B3+ forms a much deeper trap with ∼1.10 eV depth. In addition, the density of the electron trap can also be dramatically increased compared to the sample without B3+. The charging process for persistent luminescence is demonstrated by comparing the photoluminescence excitation spectrum with the thermoluminescence excitation spectrum. The persistence luminescence mechanism is given by a visual energy level diagram on the basis of the vacuum referred binding energy scheme of Y3Al2Ga3O12.
