Abstract
Transmission near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology has great potential for biomedical imaging because of its lower water absorption coefficient and highly reduced photon scattering effect in biological tissues compared to visible light. The extent of biological tissue photon scattering is inversely proportional to wavelength; therefore, in principle, imaging with long-wavelength NIR helps improve the resolution of the optical image, but deep tissue high-resolution luminescence imaging is still very challenging technically. Here, we report the discovery of a Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ double perovskite phosphor that emits broadband long-wavelength NIR (1200-2000 nm) under 365 nm near-ultraviolet (UV) excitation, with a full width at half-maximum of 255 nm. The luminescence quantum efficiency of the phosphor with optimized composition reached 16.67%. The analysis of the crystal structure of Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ suggests that Ni2+ ions preferentially occupy the W6+ site in octahedrons with a weak crystal field, which leads to a large Stokes shift. An as-prepared long-wavelength NIR pc-LED device was built by packaging an optimized phosphor with a low-power near-UV-LED chip, which was tested to generate clear imaging of venous vessels in human fingers. These unique properties of the Ba2MgWO6:Ni2+ double perovskite phosphor makes it a promising application in the field of imaging sources for body tissue..

Abstract
Persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) are photoluminescent materials that can still emit luminescence after the cessation of the excitation light source. In recent years, due to their unique optical properties, the PLNPs have attracted extensive attention in the biomedical field. Since the PLNPs effectively eliminate autofluorescence interference from biological tissues, many researchers have contributed a lot of work in the fields of biological imaging and tumor therapy. This article mainly introduces the synthesis methods of the PLNPs and their progress in the application of biological imaging and tumor therapy, as well as the challenges and development prospects.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) possess advantages for high-sensitivity bioimaging and continuous photodynamic therapy (PDT) because they can emit persistent luminescence (PerL) after excitation ceases. However, PLNPs are limited to single-wavelength emission, which can only efficiently realize one of the functions of bioimaging or PDT. In addition, most PLNPs are excited by shallow tissue penetrating excitation light, which makes it difficult to achieve repeatable in vivo applications with high efficiency. Herein, X-ray-excited PLNPs (Zn3Ga2Ge2O10:Cr3+,Mn2+, ZGGCM) with dual emission for in vivo X-rays repeatedly activated PerL imaging and tumor PDT are reported for the first time. ZGGCM exhibits dual-emission peaks after X-ray excitation/re-excitation, located at 698 nm and 532 nm, respectively. Additionally, ZGGCM is modified with the photosensitizer rose bengal (RB) to construct a dual-functional nanoplatform based on PerL imaging and PDT. The results indicate that the PerL emission peak (698 nm) of Cr3+ ions in ZGGCM possesses excellent near-infrared (NIR) PerL imaging performance, and the green PerL emission peak (532 nm) of Mn2+ ions can activate RB effectively and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby causing a significant antitumor effect. This unique dual-functional nanoplatform is expected to further promote the application of PLNPs in the integration of efficient tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Many in vivo biological techniques, such as fluorescence imaging, photodynamic therapy, and optogenetics, require light delivery into biological tissues. The limited tissue penetration of visible light discourages the use of external light sources and calls for the development of light sources that can be delivered in vivo. A promising material for internal light delivery is persistent phosphors; however, there is a scarcity of materials with strong persistent luminescence of visible light in a stable colloid to facilitate systemic delivery in vivo. Here, we used a bioinspired demineralization (BID) strategy to synthesize stable colloidal solutions of solid-state phosphors in the range of 470 to 650 nm and diameters down to 20 nm. The exceptional brightness of BID-produced colloids enables their utility as multicolor luminescent tags in vivo with favorable biocompatibility. Because of their stable dispersion in water, BID-produced nanophosphors can be delivered systemically, acting as an intravascular colloidal light source to internally excite genetically encoded fluorescent reporters within the mouse brain.

Abstract
The multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform based on the combination of persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has both in vivo imaging and tumor therapeutic drug-loading functions, providing a new strategy for accurate and effective tumor diagnosis and treatment. Herein, the near-infrared (NIR) PLNP SiO2@Zn1.05Ga1.9O4:Cr was combined with HKUST-1 MOFs to form a core-shell structure theranostic nanoplatform which possessed the triple function of autofluorescence-free NIR PersL bioimaging, tumor chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and tumor photothermal therapy (PTT). Also, the photothermal conversion efficiency reached 58.7%, which is superior to the reported nano metal-organic framework (NMOF) photothermal reagents. We demonstrated that the nanoplatform could enter the tumors of mice within 0.5 h and could be target-activated by H2O2 and H2S in the tumor cells, resulting in effective PTT and CDT synergistic treatment. Tumor-bearing mice experiments showed that the tumor could be completely cured without harming normal tissue. This theranostic nanoplatform may provide a promising strategy showing imaging, PTT, and CDT synergistic treatment tri-mode for clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Afterglow is superior to other optical modalities for biomedical applications in that it can exclude the autofluorescence background. Nevertheless, afterglow has rarely been applied to the high-contrast "off-to-on" activatable sensing scheme because the complicated afterglow systems hamper the additional inclusion of sensory functions while preserving the afterglow luminescence. Herein, a simple formulation of a multifunctional components-incorporated afterglow nanosensor (MANS) is developed for the superoxide-responsive activatable afterglow imaging of cisplatin-induced kidney injury. A multifunctional iridium complex (Ir-OTf) is designed to recover its photoactivities (phosphorescence and the ability of singlet oxygen-generating afterglow initiator) upon exposure to superoxide. To construct the nanoscopic afterglow detection system (MANS), Ir-OTf is incorporated with another multifunctional molecule (rubrene) in the polymeric micellar nanoparticle, where rubrene also plays dual roles as an afterglow substrate and a luminophore. The multiple functions covered by Ir-OTf and rubrene renders the composition of MANS quite simple, which exhibits superoxide-responsive "off-to-on" activatable afterglow luminescence for periods longer than 11 min after the termination of pre-excitation. Finally, MANS is successfully applied to the molecular imaging of cisplatin-induced kidney injury with activatable afterglow signals responsive to pathologically overproduced superoxide in a mouse model without autofluorescence background.

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

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

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

Abstract
Near-infrared persistent phosphors (NIR-PPs) are an emerging category of luminescent materials that can continuously emit NIR luminescence with super-long decay time of minutes, hours, or even days after the excitation ceases. Their unique excitation-free long-lasting afterglow, together with the NIR emission, has not only attracted wide research interests in the areas of photochemistry, photophysics, spectroscopy, and materials science, but also stimulated advanced applications in biosensing, bioimaging, biomedicine, and therapy in the past decade. Beyond these bio-related applications, the active research field triggers a number of novel applications recently. In this review, a brief outline of NIR-PPs including the luminescence mechanism, main material systems, and how they were applied into various fields was depicted. Particular emphasis was put on the emerging applications outside the field of biology. Future perspectives in this exploration research area were also presented. We hope this review can help researchers grab the latest information in the fast-growing field of NIR-PPs.

Abstract
A series of novel non-gallate near-infrared long-persistent phosphorescence Mg2-xZnxSnO4:Cr3+ phosphors were synthesized, and their structure and luminescence properties were investigated systematically. Under 448 nm blue light excitation, all the phosphors exhibit a broad emission band centered at 730 nm and a shoulder peak at 708 nm, which are attributed to the 4T2(4F) → 4A2 and 2E → 4A2 transitions of Cr3+, respectively. The excitation spectra of the samples clearly show the characteristic excitation of Cr3+ in the octahedral crystal field, with three obvious peaks at 324, 448 and 620 nm respectively. The phosphor with a composition of Mg1.4Zn0.6SnO4:0.03Cr3+ shows the strongest photoluminescence intensity which is 2.87 times and 3.09 times that of Mg2SnO4:0.03Cr3+ and Zn2SnO4:0.03Cr3+, respectively. Besides, all the samples show intense near-infrared long-persistent phosphorescence. For the optimized sample Mg1.4Zn0.6SnO4:0.005Cr3+, its phosphorescence can still be observed with a night vision instrument 18 h after removing the 365 nm UV light source. Finally, a feasible phosphorescence mechanism of the Mg1.4Zn0.6SnO4:Cr3+ phosphor was proposed and discussed. This study may provide a new method for developing novel near-infrared long-persistent phosphorescence phosphors through crystal structure modification.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are unique optical materials that emit afterglow luminescence after ceasing excitation. They exhibit unexpected advantages for in vivo optical imaging of tumors, such as autofluorescence-free, high sensitivity, high penetration depth, and multiple excitation sources (UV light, LED, NIR laser, X-ray, and radiopharmaceuticals). Besides, by incorporating other functional molecules, such as photosensitizers, photothermal agents, or therapeutic drugs, PLNPs are also widely used in persistent luminescence (PersL) imaging-guided tumor therapy. In this review, we first summarize the recent developments in the synthesis and surface functionalization of PLNPs, as well as their toxicity studies. We then discuss the in vivo PersL imaging and multimodal imaging from different excitation sources. Furthermore, we highlight PLNPs-based cancer theranostics applications, such as fluorescence-guided surgery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, drug/gene delivery and combined therapy. Finally, future prospects and challenges of PLNPs in the research of translational medicine are also discussed.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence phosphors are a novel group of promising luminescent materials with afterglow properties after the stoppage of excitation. In the past decade, persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with intriguing optical properties have attracted a wide range of attention in various areas. Especially in recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been widely explored. Owing to the efficient elimination of the autofluorescence interferences from biotissues and the ultra-long near-infrared afterglow emission, many researches have focused on the manipulation of PLNPs in biosensing, cell tracking, bioimaging and cancer therapy. These achievements stimulated the growing interest in designing new types of PLNPs with desired superior characteristics and multiple functions. In this review, we summarize the works on synthesis methods, bioapplications, biomembrane modification and biosafety of PLNPs and highlight the recent advances in biosensing, imaging and imaging-guided therapy. We further discuss the new types of PLNPs as a newly emerged class of functional biomaterials for multiple applications. Finally, the remaining problems and challenges are discussed with suggestions and prospects for potential future directions in the biomedical applications.
