Abstract
Afterglow materials face limitations in color variety, low luminosity, and stability. Thus, developing materials with adjustable afterglow color, increased photoluminescence (PL) intensity, and enhanced stability is crucial. This paper reports the fabrication of a series of core-shell composites, CPB@SMSO@SiO2, which combine Sr2MgSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+ (SMSO) and lead halide perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr3/CPB PeQDs) through a process involving in-situ growth and hydrolytic coating. The SMSO in the composite can absorb 365 nm UV light and then emit 470 nm light, which can be absorbed by the CsPbBr3 PeQDs, resulting in an overall increase in the PL intensity of the composite. The afterglow color can be turned from green to blue by adjusting the ratio of SMSO and CsPbBr3. Furthermore, the stability of the composites is improved by the SiO2 shell layer formed by hydrolysis of tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS). This study presents an opportunity to develop innovative afterglow materials.

Abstract
Organic luminophores have been widely utilized in cells and in vivo fluorescence imaging but face extreme challenges, including a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and even false signals, due to non-negligible background signals derived from real-time excitation lasers. To overcome these challenges, in the last decade, functionalized organic long-persistent luminophores have gained much attention. Such luminophores could not only overcome the biological toxicity of inorganic long-persistent luminescent materials (metabolic toxicity and leakage risk of inorganic heavy metals), but also continue to emit long-persistent luminescence after removing the excitation source, thus effectively improving imaging quality. More importantly, organic long-persistent luminophores have good structure tailorability for the construction of activable probes, which is favorable for biosensing. Recently, the development of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated long-persistent (ROSLP) luminophores (especially organic small-molecule ROSLP luminophores) is still in the rising stage. Notably, ROSLP luminophores for in vivo imaging have experienced from two-component separated nano-systems to integrated uni-luminophores, which obtained gradually better designability and biocompatibility. In this review, we summarize the progress and challenges of organic long-persistent luminophores, focusing on their development history, long-persistent luminescence working mechanisms, and biomedical applications. We hope that these insights will help scientists further develop functionalized organic long-persistent luminophores for the biomedical field.

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
Adjusting the catalytic activity of nanozymes for enhanced oncotherapy has attracted significant interest. However, it remains challenging to engineer regulatory tactics with a minimal impact on normal tissues. By exploiting the advantages of energy storage, photostimulated, and long afterglow luminescence of persistent nanoparticles (PLNPs), a persistent luminescence-based nanoreservoir was produced to improve its catalytic activity for benign oncotherapy. In the study, PLNPs in a nanoreservoir with the ability to store photons served as a self-illuminant to promote its peroxidase-like activity and therapeutic efficacy by persistently motivating its photothermal effect before and after external irradiation ceased. The photostimulated and persistent luminescence of PLNPs and spatiotemporal controllability of exogenous light jointly alleviated adverse effects induced by prolonged irradiation and elevated the catalytic capability of the nanoreservoir. Ultimately, the system fulfilled benign photothermal-intensive nanozymatic therapy. This work provides new insights into boosting the catalytic activity of nanozymes for secure disease treatment.

Abstract
The use of fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) for tracing purposes in oilfields encounters challenges due to background interferences under constant external excitation caused by organic residues present in crude oil. This results in insufficient sensitivity and lower tracer detection limits in the crude oil/water emulsions. In this study, we present the synthesis of persistent luminescent NPs, showcasing their remarkable application as tracers in crude oil. The multiband MgAl0.05Ge0.95O3:0.3%Pr3+ persistent NPs were synthesized via the sol-gel method. Through meticulous experimentation and analysis, our study unveils a novel avenue for efficient and lasting traceability in crude oil. The synthesized NPs emit light across the visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared regions, allowing for versatile detection. The unique luminescent properties of these NPs, particularly their ability to persist in emitting light without a continuous external excitation, enable their effective use as tracers in crude oil/water emulsions where background fluorescence typically poses a significant challenge. By employing these persistent NPs in background fluorescence-free conditions, we achieve ultrahigh sensitivity in detecting these NPs in crude oil. Our research reveals that the doping of Al3+ ions significantly enhances both the afterglow intensity of MgGeO3:0.3%Pr3+ phosphor and the afterglow decay time of Pr3+ emission. This characteristic enables the re-excitation of MgAl0.05G0.95O:0.3%Pr3+ NPs within the emulsion, allowing for repeated spectral and imaging acquisition. This high sensitivity not only facilitates precise imaging of NPs in crude oil but also enables long-term monitoring in real-time, offering valuable insights for oilfield operations.

Abstract
Extensive research has been conducted on visible-light and longer-wavelength infrared-light storage phosphors, which are utilized as promising rewritable memory media for optical information storage applications in dark environments. However, storage phosphors emitting in the deep ultraviolet spectral region (200-300 nm) are relatively lacking. Here, we report an appealing deep-trap ultraviolet storage phosphor, ScBO3:Bi3+, which exhibits an ultra-narrowband light emission centered at 299 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.21 eV and excellent X-ray energy storage capabilities. When persistently stimulated by longer-wavelength white/NIR light or heated at elevated temperatures, ScBO3:Bi3+ phosphor exhibits intense and long-lasting ultraviolet luminescence due to the interplay between defect levels and external stimulus, while the natural decay in the dark at room temperature is extremely weak after X-ray irradiation. The impact of the spectral distribution and illuminance of ambient light and ambient temperature on ultraviolet light emission has been studied by comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigations, which elucidate that both O vacancy and Sc interstitial serve as deep electron traps for enhanced and prolonged ultraviolet luminescence upon continuous optical or thermal stimulation. Based on the unique spectral features and trap distribution in ScBO3:Bi3+ phosphor, controllable optical information read-out is demonstrated via external light or heat manipulation, highlighting the great potential of ScBO3:Bi3+ phosphor for advanced optical storage application in bright environments.

Abstract
Surgical resection remains the main treatment for malignant tumors. Image-guided surgery aims to remove tumor tissue completely while preserving normal tissue, thereby reducing tumor recurrence rates and injury. However, challenges like tissue autofluorescence, limited probe penetration and low contrast restrict its use. Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) provide a solution by emitting persistent luminescence (PersL) even after excitation ceases, thus circumventing autofluorescence and enabling deep tumor imaging. In this study, we prepared nano-sized (140 nm hydrodynamic size) Cr3+ doped zinc gallogermanate (ZGC) using a removable template method and modified it with folate acid to obtain ZGC-FA, which exhibits NIR (695 nm) PersL with a signal-to-noise ratio of 23.9 in vivo. We utilized a colon cancer model that selectively expressed luciferase for the first time to validate the guiding efficacy of ZGC-FA in precision surgical resection. Post-intraperitoneal injection at 50 minutes, the PersL closely matched the tumor boundaries, achieving an overlap rate of approximately 98%. Complete tumor resection was achieved under PersL guidance, with only 2.3% of healthy tissue removed. This research underscores the potential of ZGC-FA in the field of surgical oncology. The precision of the ZGC-FA guided surgical approach holds promise to enhance surgical outcomes and facilitate postoperative recovery in patients.

Abstract
Organic molecules and polymers have recently been intensively explored for afterglow materials owing to their low cost and flexible design. However, they normally fail to generate long-persistent luminescence at elevated temperatures, mostly due to the fast deactivation of triplet excited states. Here, we report that polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) individually confined in a B2O3 crystalloid emit long-persistent luminescence at high temperatures up to 400 °C. This is facilely accomplished by dispersing a series of aromatic derivatives in an aqueous solution of boric acid, followed by drying, melting, and dehydrating. The resulting highly rigid and thermostable B2O3 crystalloid network provides a matched ultrastrong confinement effect and completely restricts the vibration and rotation of the molecularly distributed PACs even at ultrahigh temperatures and thereby prevents the nonradiative dissipation of triplet excitons and promotes the generation of ultrahigh-temperature long-persistent luminescence. The afterglow colors are responsive to both temperature and time, spanning from ultraviolet to near-infrared regions over a wide temperature range, which is substantially modulated by the subtle balance of phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence. These features favor the creation of advanced afterglow materials for visual 3D temperature probing, anticounterfeiting, and data encryption in extreme environments.

Abstract
Purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have received intense attention due to their fascinating optical properties and advanced optoelectronic applications. The promotion of intersystem crossing (ISC) and minimalization of nonradiative dissipation under ambient conditions are key prerequisites for realizing high-performance organic RTP; However, the ISC process is generally inefficient for organic fluorogens and the populated triplet excitons are always too susceptible to be well stabilized by conventional means. Particularly, organizing organic fluorophores into compact and ordered entities by supramolecular dynamic interactions has proven to be a newly-emerged strategy to boost the ISC process greatly and suppress the non-radiative relaxations immensely, facilitating the population and stabilization of triplet excitons to access high-performance organic RTP. Consequently, well-defined organic emitters enable robust RTP emission even in the solution state, thus greatly extending the applications. Here, this review is focused on a timely and brief introduction to recent progress in tailoring ordered high-performance RTP emitters by supramolecular dynamic interactions. Their typical preparation strategies, optoelectronic properties, and applications are thoroughly summarized. In the summary section, key challenges and perspectives of this field are highlighted to suggest potential directions for future study.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence describes the phenomenon whereby luminescence remains after the stoppage of excitation. Recently, upconversion persistent luminescence (UCPL) phosphors that can be directly charged by near-infrared (NIR) light have gained considerable attention due to their promising applications ranging from photonics to biomedicine. However, current lanthanide-based UCPL phosphors show small absorption cross sections and low upconversion charging efficiency. The development of UCPL phosphors faces challenges due to the lack of flexible upconversion charging pathways and poor design flexibility. Herein, we discovered a lattice defect-mediated broadband photon upconversion process and the accompanying NIR-to-NIR UCPL in Cr-doped zinc gallate nanoparticles. The zinc gallate nanoparticles can be directly activated by broadband NIR light in the 700-1000 nm range to produce persistent luminescence at about 700 nm, which is also readily enhanced by rationally tailoring the lattice defects in the phosphors. This proposed UCPL phosphor achieved a signal-to-background ratio of over 200 in bioimaging by efficiently avoiding interference from autofluorescence and light scattering. Our work reported a lattice defect-mediated photon upconversion phenomenon, which significantly expands the horizons for the flexible design of UCPL phosphors toward broad applications ranging from bioimaging to photocatalysis.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) phosphors have found various promising utilizations such as in non-destructive stress sensing, anti-counterfeiting, and bio stress imaging. However, the reported NIR MLs have predominantly been limited to bulky particle size and weak ML intensity, hindering the further practical applications. For this regard, a nano-sized ZnGa2O4: Cr3+ NIR ML phosphor is synthesized by hydrothermal method. By improving the synthesis method and regulating the chemical composition, the NIR ML (600-1000 nm) intensity of such nano-materials has been further enhanced about four times. The reasons for the ML performance difference between micro-/nano- sized phosphors also have been preliminarily analyzed. Additionally, this work probes into the ML mechanism deeply in traps' aspect from band structure and defect formation energy, which can supply significant references for a new approach to develop efficient NIR ML nanoparticles. Finally, due to excellent tissue penetration capability, nano-sized ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ NIR ML phosphor shows great potential applications in biomedical fields such as for the detection of clinical oral diseases.

Abstract
Multicolor tuning of persistent luminescence has been extensively studied by deliberately integrating various luminescent units, known as activators or chromophores, into certain host compounds. However, it remains a formidable challenge to fine-tune the persistent luminescence spectra either in organic materials, such as small molecules, polymers, metal-organic complexes and carbon dots, or in doped inorganic crystals. Herein, we present a strategy to delicately control the persistent luminescence wavelength by engineering sub-bandgap donor-acceptor states in a series of single-phase Ca(Sr)ZnOS crystals. The persistent luminescence emission peak can be quasi-linearly tuned across a broad wavelength range (500-630 nm) as a function of Sr/Ca ratio, achieving a precision down to ~5 nm. Theoretical calculations reveal that the persistent luminescence wavelength fine-tuning stems from constantly lowered donor levels accompanying the modified band structure by Sr alloying. Besides, our experimental results show that these crystals exhibit a high initial luminance of 5.36 cd m-2 at 5 sec after charging and a maximum persistent luminescence duration of 6 h. The superior, color-tunable persistent luminescence enables a rapid, programable patterning technique for high-throughput optical encryption.

Abstract
Visible light is a universal and user-friendly excitation source; however, its use to generate persistent luminescence (PersL) in materials remains a huge challenge. Herein, the concept of intermolecular charge transfer (xCT) is applied in typical host-guest molecular systems, which allows for a much lower energy requirement for charge separation, thus enabling efficient charging of near-infrared (NIR) PersL in organics by visible light (425-700 nm). Importantly, NIR PersL in organics occurs via the trapping of electrons from charge-transfer aggregates (CTAs) into constructed trap states with trap depths of 0.63-1.17 eV, followed by the detrapping of these electrons by thermal stimulation, resulting in a unique light-storage effect and long-lasting emission up to 4.6 h at room temperature. The xCT absorption range is modulated by changing the electron-donating ability of a series of acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile-based CTAs, and the organic PersL is tuned from 681 to 722 nm. This study on xCT interaction-induced NIR PersL in organic materials provides a major step forward in understanding the underlying luminescence mechanism of organic semiconductors and these findings are expected to promote their applications in optoelectronics, energy storage, and medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Neuromorphic computation draws inspiration from the remarkable features of the human brain including low energy consumption, parallelism, adaptivity, cognitive functions, and learning ability. These qualities hold the promise of unlocking groundbreaking computational techniques that surpass the limitations of traditional computing systems. This paper reports a remarkable photo-synaptic behavior in the field of rare earth ion-doped luminescent oxides by using long-persistent luminescence (LPL). This system utilizes electron trap states to regulate the synaptic behavior, operating through a fundamentally different mechanism from that of electronic-based synaptic devices. To realize this strategy, Tb3+ doped CaSnO3, which shows a significant LPL property under UV-light excitation, is prepared. The luminescent system shows key neuromorphic characteristics such as paired-pulse facilitation, pulse-number/timing dependent potentiation, and pulse-number/timing dependent short- to long-term plasticity transition, which are required for realizing synaptic devices. This feature expands the way for advanced neuromorphic technologies employing light stimuli.

Abstract
Inorganic persistent phosphors feature great potential for cancer diagnosis due to the long luminescence lifetime, low background scattering, and minimal autofluorescence. With the prominent advantages of near-infrared light, such as deep penetration, high resolution, low autofluorescence, and tissue absorption, persistent phosphors can be used for deep bioimaging. We focus on highlighting inorganic persistent phosphors, emphasizing the synthesis methods and applications in cancer diagnostics. Typical synthetic methods such as the high-temperature solid state, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal/solvothermal, and template methods are proposed to obtain small-size phosphors for biological organisms. The luminescence mechanisms of inorganic persistent phosphors with different excitation are discussed and effective matrixes including galliumate, germanium, aluminate, and fluoride are explored. Finally, the current directions where inorganic persistent phosphors can continue to be optimized and how to further overcome the challenges in cancer diagnosis are summarized.

Abstract
Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescent (URTP) materials have attracted wide attention in anti-counterfeiting, optoelectronic display, and bio-imaging due to their special optical properties. However, room-temperature blue phosphorescent materials are very scarce during applications because of the need to simultaneously populate and stabilize high-energy excited states. In this work, a stepwise stiffening chromophore strategy is proposed to suppress non-radiative jump by continuously reducing the internal spin of the chromophore, and successfully developing a series of blue phosphorescent materials. Phosphorescence lifetimes of more than 3 s are achieved, with the longest lifetime reaching 5.44 s and lasting more than 70 s in the naked eye. As far as is know, this is the best result that has been reported. By adjusting the chromophore conjugation, multicolor phosphorescences from cyan to green have been realized. In addition, these chromophores exhibit the same excellent optical properties in urea and polyvinyl alcohmance (PVA). Finally, these materials are successfully applied to luminescent displays.

Abstract
Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials provide exciting opportunities for the rational design of persistent luminescence owing to their long-lived excitons. However, conventional rare-earth-based all-inorganic emitters involve high cost and harsh synthesis conditions, and purely organic systems may require complicated synthesis routes and tedious purification. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a cost-effective and easily manufacturable method for achieving color-tunable RTP-TADF with a long afterglow. Herein, we demonstrate a rational strategy to introduce different anions (Cl-, Br- and OAc- ions) into a Zn-based metal-organic scaffold, which can improve the crystal rigidity and achieve a well-balanced RTP-TADF. Both theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that the adjustment of different anions can effectively modulate the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the energy gap of singlet-triplet states (ΔEST) and then tailor the afterglow lifetime. Moreover, we prepared dye-doped metal-organic hybrid glasses with remarkable potential for the color-tunable afterglow. Therefore, this work not only provides a new horizon for modulating crystal and glass states with color/lifetime-tunable persistent luminescence, but also contributes to optical information storage and anti-counterfeiting technology.

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
As promising luminescence nanoparticles, near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) have received extensive attention in the field of high-sensitivity bioimaging in recent years. However, NIR PLNPs face problems such as short excitation wavelengths and single imaging modes, which limit their applications in in vivo reactivated imaging and multimodal imaging. Here, we report for the first time novel Gd2GaTaO7:Cr3+,Yb3+ (GGTO) NIR PLNPs that integrate X-ray activated NIR persistent luminescence (PersL), high X-ray attenuation and excellent magnetic properties into a single nanoparticle (NP). In this case, Cr3+ is used as the luminescence center. The co-doped Yb3+ and coating effectively enhance the X-ray activated NIR PersL. At the same time, the presence of the high-Z element Ta also makes the GGTO NPs exhibit high X-ray attenuation performance, which can be used as a CT contrast agent to achieve in vivo CT imaging. In addition, since the matrix contains a large amount of Gd, the GGTO NPs show remarkable magnetic properties, which can realize in vivo MR imaging. GGTO NPs combine the trimodal benefits of X-ray reactivated PersL, CT and MR imaging and are suitable for single or combined applications that require high sensitivity and spatial resolution imaging.

Abstract
An immature understanding of the mechanisms of persistent luminescence (PersL) has hindered the development of new persistent luminescent materials (PersLMs) with increased brightness. In this regard, in-situ direct current (DC) electric field measurements were conducted on a layered structure composed of the SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ phosphor, and an electrode. In this study, the photoluminescence (PL) and afterglow properties were investigated with respect to voltage by analyzing the current signal and thermoluminescence (TL) spectroscopy. The intensity of PersL increased due to a novel phenomenon known as "external electric field stimulated enhancement of initial brightness of afterglow". This dynamic process was illustrated via the use of a rate equation approach, where the electrons trapped by the ultra-shallow trap at 0.022 eV could be transferred through the conduction band during long afterglow. The afterglow intensity could reach 0.538 cd m-2 at a 6 V electric voltage. The design of an electric field stimulation technique enables the enhancement of the intensity of PersLMs and provides a new perspective for exploring the fundamental mechanics of certain established PersLMs.

Abstract
Confining luminophores into modified hydrophilic matrices or polymers is a straightforward and widely used approach for afterglow bioimaging. However, the afterglow quantum yield and lifetime of the related material remain unsatisfactory, severely limiting the using effect especially for deep-tissue time-resolved imaging. This fact largely stems from the dilemma between material biocompatibility and the quenching effect of water environment. Herein an in situ metathesis promoted doping strategy is presented, namely, mixing ≈10-3 weight ratio of organic-emitter multicarboxylates with inorganic salt reactants, followed by metathesis reactions to prepare a series of hydrophilic but water-insoluble organic-inorganic doping afterglow materials. This strategy leads to the formation of edible long-afterglow photoluminescent materials with superior biocompatibility and excellent bioimaging effect. The phosphorescence quantum yield of the materials can reach dozens of percent (the highest case: 66.24%), together with the photoluminescent lifetime lasting for coupes of seconds. Specifically, a long-afterglow barium meal formed by coronene salt emitter and BaSO4 matrix is applied into animal experiments by gavage, and bright stomach afterglow imaging is observed by instruments or mobile phone after ceasing the photoexcitation with deep tissue penetration. This strategy allows a flexible dosage of the materials during bioimaging, facilitating the development of real-time probing and theranostic technology.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped scintillators have the ability to convert the absorbed X-ray irradiation into ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), or near-infrared (NIR) light. Lanthanide-doped scintillators with excellent persistent luminescence (PersL) are emerging as a new class of PersL materials recently. They have attracted great attention due to their unique "self-luminescence" characteristic and potential applications. In this review, we comb through and focus on current developments of lanthanide-doped persistent luminescent scintillators (PersLSs), including their PersL mechanism, synthetic methods, tuning of PersL properties (e. g. emission wavelength, intensity, and duration time), as well as their promising applications (e. g. information storage, encryption, anti-counterfeiting, bio-imaging, and photodynamic therapy). We hope this review will provide valuable guidance for the future development of PersLSs.

Abstract
All-inorganic metal halides with afterglow emission have attracted increasing attention due to their significantly longer afterglow duration and higher stability compared to their organic-inorganic hybrid counterparts. However, their afterglow colors have not yet reached the blue spectral region. Here, we report all-inorganic copper-doped Rb2AgBr3 single crystals with ultralong blue afterglow (>300 s) by modulating defect states through doping engineering. The introduction of copper(I) ions into Rb2AgBr3 facilitates the formation of bromine vacancies, thus increasing the density of trap states available for charge storage and enabling bright, persistent emission after ceasing the excitation. Moreover, cascade energy transfer between distinct emissive centers in the crystals results in ultra-broadband photoluminescence, not only covering the whole white light with near-unity quantum yield but also extending into the near-infrared region. This 'cocktail' of exotic light-emission properties, in conjunction with the excellent stability of copper-doped Rb2AgBr3 crystals, allowed us to demonstrate their implementation to solid-state lighting, night vision, and intelligent anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Multi-dimensional force sensing that combines intensity, location, area and the like could gather a wealth of information from mechanical stimuli. Developing materials with force-induced optical and electrical dual responses would provide unique opportunities to multi-dimensional force sensing, with electrical signals quantifying the force amplitude and the luminescence output providing spatial distribution of force. However, the reliance on external power supply and high-energy excitation source brings significant challenges to the applicability of multi-dimensional force sensors. Here we reported the mechanical energy-driven and sunlight-activated materials with force-induced dual responses, and investigated the underlying mechanisms of self-sustainable force sensing. Theoretical analysis and experimental data unraveled that trap-controlled luminescence and interfacial electron transfer play a major role in force-induced optical and electrical output. These materials were manufactured into pressure sensor with renewable dual-mode output for quantifying and visualization of pressures by electrical and optical output, respectively, without power supply and high-energy irradiation. The quantification of tactile sensation and stimuli localization of mice highlighted the multi-dimensional sensing ability of the sensor. Overall, this self-powered pressure sensor with multimodal output provides more modalities of force sensing, poised to change the way that intelligent devices sense with the world.

Abstract
A micron-sized long-afterglow material, Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu,Ce, was utilized to conduct the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, two half-reactions of water splitting, in the presence of sacrificial agents under both light and dark conditions for the first time. The as-synthesized Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu,Ce exhibited higher photocatalytic activity compared to that of the referenced Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu and Sr2MgSi2O7:Ce samples. Herein, in addition to benefiting from the long photogenerated carrier lifetime of long-afterglow materials, the higher photocatalytic activity was attributed to the conjugated electronic structure between Eu and Ce ions. This structure facilitates charge and energy transfer between them, leading to an enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. This research provides a new strategy for designing efficient long-afterglow material photocatalysts through the construction of conjugated electronic structures.

Abstract
Hour-level persistent room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) phenomena based on multi-confinement carbon dots (CDs) are reported. The CDs-based system reported here (named Si-CDs@B2O3) can be efficiently synthesized by a simple pyrolysis method compared to the established persistent RTP systems. The binding modes of CDs, silica (SiO2), and boron oxide (B2O3) are deduced from a series of characterizations including XRD, FT-IR, and TEM characterization. Further studies show that the formation of covalent bonds between B2O3, SiO2, and CDs play a key role in activating the persistent RTP and preventing its quenching. This is a rare example of a persistent RTP system that exhibits hourly persistent RTP under environmental conditions. Finally, the applications of Si-CDs@B2O3 are demonstrated for anti-counterfeiting, long-duration phosphorescence imaging, and fingerprinting. This synthetic strategy is expected to provide strong technical support for the preparation of persistent RTP CDs and pave the way for the synthesis of persistent RTP CDs in the future.

Abstract
Metal-free room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials are attracting attention in such applications as organic light-emitting diodes and bioimaging. However, the chemical structures of RTP materials reported thus far are mostly predominantly based on π-conjugated systems incorporating heavy atoms such as bromine atoms or carbonyl groups, resulting in limited structural diversity. On the other hand, triarylboranes are known for their strong Lewis acidity and deep LUMO energy levels, but few studies have reported on their RTP properties. In this study, we discovered that compounds based on a tetracyclic structure containing boron, referred to as benzo[d]dithieno[b,f]borepins, exhibit strong solid-state reddish phosphorescence even in air. Quantum chemical calculations, including those for model compounds, revealed that the loss of planarity of the tetracyclic structure increases spin-orbit coupling matrix elements, thereby accelerating the intersystem crossing process. Moreover, single-crystal X-ray structural analysis and natural energy decomposition analysis suggested that the borepin compounds without bromine or oxygen atoms, unlike typical RTP materials, exhibit red-shifted phosphorescence in the crystalline state owing to structural relaxation in the T1 state. Additionally, the borepin compounds showed potential application as bioimaging dyes.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:11-18. [PMID: 38335735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are ideal optical imaging contrast reagents characterized by autofluorescence-free optical imaging for their frontier applications in long-term bioimaging. Preparation of uniform small-sized PLNPs with excellent luminescence performance is crucial for biomedical applications, but challenging. Here, we report a facile magnesium doping strategy to achieve size-independent boost of NIR persistent luminescence in typical and most concerned ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ PLNPs. This strategy relies on the doping of Mg2+ ions that with similar size of Zn2+ ions in the host lattice matrix, and concomitant to the electron traps tailoring tuned by varying the feed ratio of Mg2+. The optimum Mg2+-doped PLNPs give a long afterglow time (signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) = 31.6 at 30 d) without changing the desirable uniform sub-10 nm size of the original nanocrystals. The appropriate increase of the depth and concentration of electron trap contribute jointly to the enhancement of lifetime (488 % longer, 20.57 s) and afterglow time for 700 nm persistent luminescence. Meanwhile, these PLNPs keep the original excellent rechargeability and promote over 60 times increase of SNR in renewable in vivo imaging. This simple strategy provides a basis for new opportunities to address the critical challenge of effective optical performance boost in small-sized PLNPs.

Abstract
Broadband near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has gained significant attention due to its versatile application in various fields. In the realm of NIR phosphors, Fe3+ ion is an excellent activator known for its nontoxic and harmless nature. In this study, we prepared an Fe3+-activated SrGa12O19 (SGO) NIR phosphor and analyzed its phase and luminescence properties. Upon excitation at 326 nm, the SGO:Fe3+ phosphor exhibited a broadband emission in the range 700-1000 nm, peaking at 816 nm. The optical band gap of SGO:Fe3+ was evaluated. To enhance the long-lasting phosphorescence, an oxygen vacancy-rich SGO:Fe3+ (VO-SGO:Fe3+) sample was prepared for activation. Interestingly, the increase in the oxygen-vacancy concentration indeed contributed to the activation of persistent luminescence of Fe3+ ions. The VO-SGO:Fe3+ sample has a long duration and high charge storage capacity, allowing it to perform efficiently in various applications. This work provides the foundation for further design of Cr3+-free PersL phosphors with efficient NIR PersL.

Abstract
Manipulation of persistent charges in semiconductor nanostructure is the key point to obtain quantum bits towards the application of quantum memory and information devices. However, realizing persistent charge storage in semiconductor nano-systems is still very challenge due to the disturbance from crystal defects and environment conditions. Herein, the two-photon persistent charging induced long-lasting afterglow and charged exciton formation are observed in CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) confined in glass host with effective lifetime surpassing one second, where the glass inclosure provides effective protection. A method combining the femtosecond and second time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy is explored to determine the persistent charging possibility of perovskite NCs unambiguously. Meanwhile, with temperature-dependent spectroscopy, the underlying mechanism of this persistent charging is elucidated. A two-channel carrier transfer model is proposed involving athermal quantum tunneling and slower thermal-assisted channel. On this basis, two different information storage devices are demonstrated with the memory time exceeding two hours under low-temperature condition. These results provide a new strategy to realize persistent charging in perovskite NCs and deepen the understanding of the underlying carrier kinetics, which may pave an alternative way towards novel information memory and optical data storage applications.

Abstract
Ca9Y(VO4)7 phosphor activated with Er3+ ions have been developed by the urea-aided solution combustion technique. XRD profiles assisted with Rietveld refinement executed over-developed Er3+-activated Ca9Y(VO4)7 powder, revealed a trigonal phase with the R3c space group. The electron microscope techniques namely TEM and SEM characterize the size and surface-linked qualities of the developed nanopowder, respectively. The uniform distribution of various elements in the nanocrystalline sample is authenticated by an energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) system. The Eg (band gap) value of 3.64 eV for Ca9Y0.9Er0.1(VO4)7 and 3.74 eV for Ca9Y(VO4)7 has been estimated. Upon 382 nm excitation, Er3+: Ca9Y(VO4)7 phosphor gives rise to the bright green emission owing to the 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 transition. The concentration quenching after 10 mol% composition of trivalent erbium ions is attributed to dipole-dipole interlinkages in accordance with Dexter's theory. The radiative lifetime (1.1083 ms), non-radiative rates (0.2079 ms- 1), quantum efficiency (79%), along with colorimetric parameters i.e. CIE x (= 0.2577), y (= 0.4566), and CCT quantities offer Ca9Y0.9Er0.1(VO4)7 as a proficient green radiating nanomaterial for RGB phosphors in solid-state applications.

Abstract
Long afterglow luminescence-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) performs advantages of noninvasiveness, spatiotemporal controllability, and higher signal to noise ratio. Photochemical afterglow (PCA) system emitting afterglow in an aqueous environment is highly suitable for biomedical applications, but still faces the challenges of poor tissue penetration depth and responsive sensitivity. In this work, two novel compounds, Iso-TPA and ABEI-TPA, are designed and synthesized to integrate the PCA system as a single component by coupling near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizers with singlet oxygen cache units, respectively. Both compounds emit NIR afterglow based on photochemical reaction. ABEI-TPA exhibits higher photoluminescence quantum efficiency with nonconjugated linkage, while Iso-TPA with conjugated linkage possesses better reactive oxygen species generation efficiency to achieve stronger PCA and effective PDT, which is ascribed to stronger intramolecular charge transfer effect of Iso-TPA. Iso-TPA nanoparticles can achieve effective long-lasting NIR afterglow in vivo bioimaging up to 120 s with higher imaging resolution and outstanding PDT efficacy of tumor, exhibiting promising potential on bioimaging and therapy.

Abstract
Developing stable room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission without being affected by moisture and mechanical force remains a great challenge for purely organic systems, due to their triplet states sensitive to the infinitesimal motion of phosphors and the oxygen quencher. We report a kind of highly robust phosphorescent systems, by doping a rigid phosphor into a copolymer (polyvinyl butyral resin) matrix with a balance of mutually exclusive features, including a rigidly hydrophilic hydrogen bond network and elastically hydrophobic constituent. Impressively, these RTP polymeric films have superior adhesive ability on various surfaces and showed reversible photoactivated RTP with lifetimes up to 5.82 seconds, which can be used as in situ modulated anticounterfeit labels. They can maintain a bright afterglow for over 25.0 seconds under various practical conditions, such as storage in refrigerators, soaking in natural water for a month, or even being subjected to strong collisions and impacts. These findings provide deep insights for developing stable ultralong RTP materials with desirable comprehensive performance.

Abstract
Near-infrared persistent luminescence (NIR PersL) materials provide great potential in the fields of night vision, biological imaging, and information encryption. However, among various crystal structures, Cr3+ -doped gallium garnets show inferior PersL property, which turns out to be the bottleneck of their versatile applications. The rational design and facile preparation of high-performance NIR PersL materials are crucial for the emerging applications. In this work, a series of Gd3 Mgx Gex Ga5-2x O12 :Cr3+ (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) is investigated by microwave-assisted solid-state (MASS) approach. Furthermore, by employing chemical composition co-substitution, PersL performance is further improved and the optimum working temperature is adjusted to the lower temperature at 10 °C. Trap level distribution of Gd3 Mg0.5 Ge0.5 Ga4 O12 :Cr3+ phosphor is revealed based on the temperature and fading-time dependent PersL and thermoluminescence property. Further study demonstrates the reduction of the bandgap and the trap distribution forwards at shallow-lying trap energy levels. The synergistic effect, from both energy-band manipulation and trap-level optimization, facilitates NIR PersL in Cr3+ -doped gadolinium gallium garnets. These findings confirm the applicability of MASS-based bandgap and defect level engineering for improving the PersL properties in non/inferior-PersL materials. This burgeoning MASS method may facilitate a wide range of PersL materials for various emerging applications.

Abstract
For enhanced applications of solar cells, organic luminescence materials like long persistent luminescence (LPL) present one of the promising avenues for light enhancement. Currently, most existing luminescent materials are based on an inorganic system that requires rare elements such as europium and dysprosium, with a very high processing temperature. Adopting organic luminescence materials that are free from rare elements is necessary, considering the low-temperature fabrication and low material cost. In this work, we investigate the optical properties of an organic luminescence blend consisting of 2,8-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)dibenzo [b,d]thiophene (PPT) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) through computational studies and experimental validations. Optical characteristics of the luminescence materials like optical absorption, photoluminescence, and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy are characterized. To validate the functionality of the organic luminescence blend, the material is incorporated into the perovskite solar cell structure. Unfortunately, the blend is unable to emit sufficient illumination over extended periods due to its low intersystem crossing efficiency and weak spin-orbit coupling. Although the power conversion efficiency of the Luminescence/FTO/TiO2/Perovskite/Carbon structure is observed to be small under dark conditions, the application of organic luminescence materials can be further enhanced and explored.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles (NPs) showcase adjustable X-ray-excited persistent luminescence (XEPL), holding significant promise for applications in three-dimensional (3D) imaging through the creation of flexible X-ray detectors. However, a dangerous high X-ray irradiation dose rate and complicated heating procedure are required to generate efficient XEPL for high-resolution 3D imaging, which is attributed to a lack of strategies to significantly enhance the XEPL intensity. Here we report that the XEPL intensity of a series of lanthanide activators (Dy, Pr, Er, Tm, Gd, Tb) is greatly improved by constructing dual heterogeneous interfaces in a double-shell nanostructure. Mechanistic studies indicate that the employed core@shell@shell structure could not only passivate the surface quenchers to lower the non-radiative relaxation possibility, but also reduce the interfacial Frenkel defect formation energy leading to increase the trap concentration. By employing a NPs containing flexible film as the scintillation screen, the inside 3D electrical structure of a watch was clearly achieved based on the delayed XEPL imaging and 3D reconstruction procedure. We foresee that these findings will promote the development of advanced X-ray activated persistent fluoride NPs and offer opportunities for safer and more efficient X-ray imaging techniques in a number of scientific and practical areas.

Abstract
The afterglow properties of long afterglow luminescent materials are greatly affected by their defects, which are distributed on the grain surface. Increasing the exposed surface area is an important method to improve the afterglow performance. In this research, long rod-shaped long afterglow materials Sr2 MgSi2 O7 :Eu2+ ,Dy3+ were prepared using the hydrothermal-coprecipitation method. When the reaction time reached 96 h, the length of the afterglow materials could grow to 2 mm, and the sintering temperature was just 1150°C. The emission spectra of all obtained samples upon excitation at 397 nm had a maximum of 465 nm, which belonged to the representative transition of Eu2+ . The initial brightness was 1.35 cd/m2 . The afterglow time could reach 19 h, giving a good afterglow performance. The research on this kind of material has essential significance in the exploration of luminescence mechanisms and their applications.

Abstract
Helicenes with persistent luminescence have received relatively little attention, despite their demonstrated highly efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) from the excited singlet to the triplet state. Herein, we designed a series of ortho-fused aromatics by combining dithieno[2,3-b:3',2'-d]thiophene (DTT) with annulated benzene fragments, denoted as TB[n]H (n = 3-8), to achieve persistent luminescence. Wherein, thia[n]helicenes (n = 5-8) exhibited intense phosphorescence with millisecond-range lifetimes (τp) at 77 K. Particularly interesting was the observation that the odd-numbered ring helicenes displayed longer τp values than their neighboring even-numbered counterparts. Notably, TB[7]H showcased the longest τp of 628 ms. This phenomenon can be attributed to the more favorable ISC channels and stronger spin-orbital coupling (SOC) of old-numbered helicenes than even-numbered ones. Furthermore, both conformers of TB[7]H exhibited significant circularly polarized phosphorescent (CPP) responses, with luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum) of 0.015 and -0.014. These discoveries suggest that thiahelicenes may be a specific class of organic phosphorescent and CPP materials.

Abstract
Integrating multimode optical properties into a single material simultaneously is promising for improving the security level of fluorescent anticounterfeiting. However, there has been a lack of affirmative principles and unambiguous mechanisms that guide the design of such material. Herein, we achieve color-tunable photoluminescence, long-lived persistent emission, thermally stimulated luminescence, and reversible photochromism in a Tb3+-activated Mg4Ga8Ge2O20 phosphor by employing the F-like color center as an energy reservoir. It is experimentally revealed that the role of oxygen vacancies in the lattice of Mg4Ga8Ge2O20 is assumed as the main trap for the photogenerated electronic carriers, which is the origin of metastable F-like color centers. The formed color centers with the estimated depths of 0.48-0.95 eV could suppress the recombination of electron-hole pairs, thus giving rise to good photochromism and persistent emission properties, while under various modes of stimulation such as thermal attack or photo radiation, a quick recombination of electron holes happens, accounting for the bright thermally stimulated luminescence and the accompanied color bleaching. Finally, we fabricate a flexible phosphor/polymer composite by encapsulating the developed phosphor into a polydimethylsiloxane matrix, and conceptual demonstration of the composite for the high-security fluorescent anticounterfeiting technology, by virtue of multimode optical phenomena as authentication signals.

Abstract
Recently, long persistent phosphors (LPPs) have attracted significant attention as promising candidates for biomedical applications. However, the serious decrease in luminescence intensity in tissue still remains a major challenge. Therefore, exploring more competitive LPPs and achieving reproducible tissue imaging is crucial. In this study, a new series of near-infrared (NIR) phosphors La3 Ga5 Sn1-x O14 :xCr3+ (x = 0.005-0.05) were synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, diffuse/photoluminescence spectroscopy, fluorescence decay curves, and thermoluminescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation with ultraviolet light, strong emission bands were observed in the range 600-1200 nm with an optimal doping concentration of x = 0.02 mol. Moreover, La3 Ga5 SnO14 :Cr3+ exhibits persistent luminescence due to the presence of suitable energy traps, which prompted the phosphor to emit NIR light even after the removal of the excitation source.

Abstract
Noble metal compositing is a promising method to enhance radiance intensity of persistent luminescent (PersL) nanoparticles (NPs) via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for better tumor imaging, but it rarely unites with the pH-response strategy due to the challenge of realizing rigorous pH-responsive spatial distance control as a "button switch" of SPR. Here, ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ (ZGC) NPs as "pomegranate seeds" are cladded with sodium alginate to form nanoclusters (ZGC-SA), subsequently coated with carboxyl-rich polymers to acquire "pomegranate rind" (ZSPB) and finally decorated with 10 nm gold NPs (AuNPs) on the surface to obtain nanopomegranate structure (ZSPB@AuNPs). Though without deliberate distance control, there are plenty of "seeds" inside ZSPB@AuNPs fortunately at appropriate positions, which could be plasmon-enhanced by AuNPs. Furthermore, triggered by carboxyl protonation in subacid tumor, ZSPB@AuNPs aggregate and subsequently facilitate such plasmon enhancement effect, resulting in 4.4-fold PersL promotion at pH 5.5 (tumor microenvironment, TME) over pH 7.4 and in a maximum "tumor to normal tissue ratio" of PersL imaging signals of 125.9. Under surgical navigation of ZSPB@AuNPs, intramuscular tumors of mice could be resected without residue signals left. This nanopomegranate achieves TME pH-responsive plasmon-enhanced PersL for the first time and broadens the way for designing plasmon-enhanced PersL nanosystems.

Abstract
X-ray imaging plays an increasingly crucial role in clinical radiography, industrial inspection, and military applications. However, current X-ray imaging technologies have difficulty in protecting against information leakage caused by brute force attacks via trial-and-error. Here high-confidentiality X-ray imaging encryption by fabricating ultralong radioluminescence memory films composed of lanthanide-activated nanoscintillators (NaLuF4 : Gd3+ or Ce3+ ) with imperceptible purely-ultraviolet (UV) emission is reported. Mechanistic investigations unveil that ultralong X-ray memory is attributed to the long-lived trapping of thermalized charge carriers within Frenkel defect states and subsequent slow release in the form of imperceptible radioluminescence. The encrypted X-ray imaging can be securely stored in the memory film for more than 7 days and optically decoded by perovskite nanocrystal. Importantly, this encryption strategy can protect X-ray imaging information against brute force trial-and-error attacks through the perception of lifetime change in the persistent radioluminescence. It is further demonstrated that the as-fabricated flexible memory film enables achieving of 3D X-ray imaging encryption of curved objects with a high spatial resolution of 20 lp/mm and excellent recyclability. This study provides valuable insights into the fundamental understanding of X-ray-to-UV conversion in nanocrystal lattices and opens up a new avenue toward the development of high-confidential 3D X-ray imaging encryption technologies.

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
A novel time-resolved fluorescence nanoprobe (PBMO, PLNR-BSA-Mn2+-OPD) is fabricated for the label-free determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The ZnGeO:Mn persistent luminescence nanorod (PLNR) and Mn(II) are, respectively, exploited as the signal molecule and quencher to construct the PBMO nanopobe using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the surface-modified shell and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as the reducing agent. In the presence of H2O2, the persistent luminescence of PBMO at 530 nm is enhanced remarkably within 30 s due to the oxidation of Mn(II). H2O2 can react with thiocholine (TCh), which is produced through the enzymatic degradation of acetylcholine (ATCh) by AChE. The PBMO nanoprobe is successfully applied to the determination of AChE in the linear range of 0.08-10 U L-1, with a detection limit of 0.03 U L-1 (3σ/s). The practicability of this PBMO nanoprobe is confirmed by accurately monitoring AChE contents in human serum samples, giving rise to satisfactory spiking recoveries of 96.2-103.6%.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are innovative materials able to emit light for a long time after the end of their excitation. Thanks to this property, their detection can be separated in time from the excitation, making it possible to obtain images with a high signal-to-noise ratio. This optical property can be of particular interest for the development of in vitro biosensors. Here, we report the unexpected effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) on the signal intensity of ZnGa2 O4 :Cr3+ (ZGO) nanoparticles. In the presence of H2 O2 , the signal intensity of ZGO can be amplified. This signal amplification can be used to detect and quantify H2 O2 in various media, using non-functionalized ZGO nanoparticles. This small molecule can be produced by several oxidases when they react with their substrate. Indeed, the quantification of glucose, lactic acid, and uric acid is possible. The limit of detection could be lowered by modifying the nanoparticles synthesis route. These optimized nanoparticles can also be used as new biosensor to detect larger molecules such as antigen, using the appropriate antibody. This unique property, i.e., persistent luminescence signal enhancement induced by H2 O2 , represents a new way to detect biomolecules which could lead to a very large number of bioassay applications.

Abstract
Due to their persistent luminescence, persistent luminescent (PersL) materials have attracted great interest. In the biomedical field, the use of persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) eliminates the need for continuous in situ excitation, thereby avoiding interference from tissue autofluorescence and significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Although persistent luminescence materials can emit light continuously, the luminescence intensity of small-sized nanoparticles in vivo decays quickly. Early persistent luminescent nanoparticles were mostly excited by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light and were administered for imaging purposes through ex vivo charging followed by injection into the body. Limited by the low in vivo penetration depth, UV light cannot secondary charge PLNPs that have decayed in vivo, and visible light does not penetrate deep enough to reach deep tissues, which greatly limits the imaging time of persistent luminescent materials. In order to address this issue, the development of PLNPs that can be activated by light sources with superior tissue penetration capabilities is essential. Near-infrared (NIR) light and X-rays are widely recognized as ideal excitation sources, making persistent luminescent materials stimulated by these two sources a prominent area of research in recent years. This review describes NIR and X-ray excitable persistent luminescence materials and their recent advances in bioimaging.

Abstract
Development of single-component organic phosphor attracts increasing interest due to its wide applications in optoelectronic technologies. Theoretically, activating efficient intersystem crossing (ISC) via 1(π, π*) to 3(π, π*) transitions, rather than 1(n, π*) → 3(π, π*) transitions, is an alternative access to purely organic phosphors but remains challenging. Herein, we designed and successfully synthesized the sila-8-membered ring fused biaryl benzoskeleton by transition metal catalysis, which served as a new organic phosphor with efficient 1(π, π*) to 3(π, π*) ISC. We first found that such a compound exhibits a record-long phosphorescence lifetime of 6.5 s at low temperature for single-component organic systems. Then, we developed two strategies to tune their decay channels to evolve such nonemissive molecules into bright phosphors with elongated lifetimes at room temperature: 1) Physic-based design, where quantitative analyses of electron-phonon coupling led us to reveal and hinder the major nonradiative channels, thus lighted up room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with a lifetime of 480 ms at 298 K; 2) chemical geometry-driven molecular engineering, where a geometry-based descriptor ΔΘT1-S0/ΘS0 was developed for rational screening RTP candidates and further improved the RTP lifetime to 794 ms. This study clearly shows the power of interdiscipline among synthetic methodology, physics-based rational design, and computational modeling, which represents a paradigm for the development of an organic emitter.

Abstract
Afterglow materials are attracting widespread attention owing to their distinctive and long-lived optical emission properties which create exciting opportunities in various fields. Recent research has led to the discovery of many new afterglow materials featuring high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) and lifetimes of up to several hours under ambient conditions. Afterglow materials are typically categorized according to their luminescence mechanism, such as long-persistent luminescence (LPL), room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Through rational design and novel synthetic strategies to modulate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and populate triplet exciton states (T1), luminophores with long lifetimes and bright afterglow characteristics can be realized. Initial research towards afterglow materials focused mainly on pure inorganic materials, many of which possessed inherent disadvantages such as metal toxicity or low energy emissions. In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials (OIHAMs) have been developed with high PLQY and long lifetimes. These hybrid materials exploit the tunable structure and easy processing of organic molecules, as well as enhanced SOC and intersystem crossing (ISC) processes involving heavy atom dopants, to achieve excellent afterglow performance. In this review, we begin by briefly discussing the structure and composition of inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including strategies for regulating their lifetime, PLQY and luminescence wavelength. The specific advantages of organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including low manufacturing costs, diverse molecular/electronic structures, tunable structures and optical properties, and compatibility with a variety of substrates, are emphasized. Subsequently, we discuss in detail the fundamental mechanisms used by afterglow materials, their classification, design principles, and end applications (including sensing, anticounterfeiting, and photoelectric devices, among others). Finally, existing challenges and promising future directions are discussed, laying a platform for the design of afterglow materials for specific applications.
