Mater Today Bio 2023; 23:100860. [PMID: 38179230 PMCID: PMC10765243 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
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.

Recent progress in high-performance environmental impacts of the removal of radionuclides from wastewater based on metal-organic frameworks: a review. RSC Adv 2023; 13:25182-25208. [PMID: 37622006 PMCID: PMC10445089 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra04177h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The nuclear industry is rapidly developing and the effective management of nuclear waste and monitoring the nuclear fuel cycle are crucial. The presence of various radionuclides such as uranium (U), europium (Eu), technetium (Tc), iodine (I), thorium (Th), cesium (Cs), and strontium (Sr) in the environment is a major concern, and the development of materials with high adsorption capacity and selectivity is essential for their effective removal. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as promising materials for removing radioactive elements from water resources due to their unique properties such as tunable pore size, high surface area, and chemical structure. This review provides an extensive analysis of the potential of MOFs as adsorbents for purifying various radionuclides rather than using different techniques such as precipitation, filtration, ion exchange, electrolysis, solvent extraction, and flotation. This review discusses various MOF fabrication methods, focusing on minimizing environmental impacts when using organic solvents and solvent-free methods, and covers the mechanism of MOF adsorption towards radionuclides, including macroscopic and microscopic views. It also examines the effectiveness of MOFs in removing radionuclides from wastewater, their behavior on exposure to high radiation, and their renewability and reusability. We conclude by emphasizing the need for further research to optimize the performance of MOFs and expand their use in real-world applications. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the potential of MOFs as efficient and durable materials for removing radioactive elements from water resources, addressing a critical issue in the nuclear industry.

Abstract
The nearly dormant field of persistent luminescence has gained fresh impetus after the discovery of strontium aluminate persistent luminescence phosphor in 1996. Several efforts have been put in to prepare efficient, long decay, persistent luminescent materials which can be used for different applications. The most explored among all are the materials which emit in the visible wavelength region, 400-650 nm, of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, since 2014, the wavelength range is extended further above 650 nm for biological applications due to easily distinguishable signal between luminescent probe and the auto-fluorescence. Recently, UV-emitting persistent materials have gained interest among researchers' due to their possible application in information storage, phototherapy and photocatalysis. In the present review, we summarize these recent developments on the UV-emitting persistent luminescent materials to motivate young minds working in the field of luminescent materials.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows us to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Persistent luminescent materials have emerged as an attractive system for application in luminescence imaging of biological systems; the afterglow emission grants background-free luminescence imaging, there is no need for continuous excitation to avoid tissue and cell damage due to the continuous light exposure, and they also circumvent the depth penetration issue caused by excitation in the UV-Vis. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging of biological systems, persistent luminescence, and synthetic methods for obtaining persistent luminescent materials, and discuss selected examples of recent literature on the applications of persistent luminescent materials in luminescence imaging of biological systems and photodynamic therapy. Finally, the challenges and future directions, pointing to the development of compounds capable of executing multiple functions and light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption, will be discussed.

Abstract
SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ long afterglow phosphors with one-dimensional nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal method followed by post-annealing, and subsequently CdS was uniformly coated on their surfaces by a sol-gel approach. The nanocomposite system can significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange and hexavalent chromium under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation. After the modification treatment with a 1 : 2 molar ratio of CdS to SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ nanophosphors, the degradation rate of methyl orange can increase by 2.5 times and reach a maximum of 96.3% under visible light illumination for 30 min. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity originates from the improvement of light usage efficiency due to the hole migration from SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphors to the CdS semiconductor and the reutilization of SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ luminescence.
