Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), as an indispensable signaling molecule in organisms, is one of the key members of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, in vivo, real-time dynamic near-infrared fluorescence imaging of HOCl levels in the 1400-1700 nm sub-window (NIR-IIb) remains a major challenge due to the lack of suitable detection methods. Herein, a general design of HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe is proposed by integrating NaLuF4Yb/Er@NaLuF4 downshift nanoparticles (DSNPs) and HOCl recognition/NIR-IIb emissive modulation unit of M2-xS (M = Cu, Co, Pb) nanodots for real-time monitoring of HOCl levels. The fluorescence modulation unit of M2-xS nanodots presents remarkably enhanced absorption than Yb sensitizer at 980 nm and greatly inhibits the NIR-IIb fluorescence emission via competitive absorption mechanism. While, the M2-xS nanodots are easily degraded after triggering by HOCl, resulting in HOCl responsive turn-on (≈ten folds) NIR-IIb emission at 1532 nm. More importantly, in vivo highly precise and specific monitoring of inflammatory with abnormal HOCl expression is successfully achieved. Thus, the explored competitive absorption mediated quenching-activation mechanism provides a new general strategy of designing HOCl-responsive NIR-IIb fluorescence nanoprobe for highly specific and sensitive HOCl detection.

Abstract
Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging is pivotal in biomedical research. Organic probes exhibit high potential in clinical translation, due to advantages such as precise structure design, low toxicity, and post-modifications convenience. In related preparation, enhancement of NIR-II tail emission from NIR-I dyes is an efficient method. In particular, the promotion of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) of relevant NIR-I dyes is a convenient protocol. However, present TICT-type probes still show disadvantages in relatively low emission, large particle sizes, or limited choice of NIR-I dyes, etc. Herein, the synthesis of stable small-sized polymer NIR-II fluoroprobes (e.g., 7.2 nm), integrating TICT and Förster resonance energy transfer process to synergistically enhance the NIR-II emission is reported. Strong enhanced emissions can be obtained from various NIR-I dyes and lanthanide elements (e.g., twelvefold at 1250 nm from Nd-DTPA/IR-808 sample). The fluorophore provides high-resolution angiography, with high-contrast imaging on middle cerebral artery occlusion model mice for distinguishing occlusion. The fluorophore can be rapidly excreted from the kidney (urine ≈65% within 4 h) in normal mice and exhibits long-term renal retention on acute kidney injury mice, showing potential applications in the prognosis of kidney diseases. This development provides an effective strategy to design and synthesize effective NIR-II fluoroprobes.

Abstract
Due to their unique afterglow ability, long-wavelength-light rechargeable persistent luminescence (PersL) nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been emerging as an important category of imaging probes. Among them, ZnGa2O4:0.6% Cr3+ (ZGC) PLNPs have gained widespread recognition due to the ease of synthesis and uniform morphology. Unfortunately, the limited absorption arising from the low molar extinction coefficient of Cr3+ results in relatively low afterglow intensity and rapid decay after long-wavelength LED light irradiation. Herein, we discovered a strategy that boosting dye-sensitization performance was able to effectively amplify the PersL signal under white LED light. Specifically, Dil served as a highly efficient sensitizer for Cr3+, promoting the absorption of the excitation light. By adjusting the Pr dopant concentrations, ZGCP0.5 PLNPs with optimal trap densities were obtained, which showed the highest PersL intensity and dye-sensitized performance. Strikingly, ZGCP0.5-Dil PLNPs exhibited a 24.3-fold enhancement in intensity and a 2-fold prolongation of decay time over bare ZGC PLNPs through the synergy effect of optimal electron traps and dye sensitization. Photostable ZGCP0.5-Dil PLNPs enabled imaging of the HepG2 tumor and effectively guided tumor surgical resection verified by the H&E staining analysis. This strategy could be a significant reference in other dye-sensitization PLNPs to enhance longer-wavelength rechargeable PersL.

Abstract
As the reliable biomarkers to evaluate the diabetes and neurological disease, sensitive and accurate detection of glucose and glutathione (GSH) in biological samples is necessary for early precaution and diagnosis of related-diseases. The single red upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) especially with core-shell structure can penetrate deeper biological tissues and cause less energy loss and thus have higher sensitivity and accuracy. Additionally, an enzyme-controlled cascade signal amplification (ECSAm) strategy will further enhance sensitivity. Herein, using single red UCNPs with core-shell structure as the luminescent material, a fluorescent sensor based on ECSAm was developed for the highly sensitive and accurate detection of glucose and GSH. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection for glucose and GSH by fluorescent method were 0.03 μM and 0.075 μM, separately. This assay was used to analyze the content of glucose and GSH in serum samples, and the obtained data was close to that of commercial blood glucose and GSH detection kit. The developed sensor platform based on single red UCNPs with core-shell structure and ECSAm can be a promising method for the accurate and sensitive detection of glucose and GSH in biological samples.

Abstract
Rare earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have achieved a wide range of applications in the sensing field due to their unique anti-Stokes luminescence property, minimized background interference, excellent biocompatibility, and stable physicochemical properties. However, UCNPs-based sensing platforms still face several challenges, including inherent limitations from UCNPs such as low quantum yields and narrow absorption cross-sections, as well as constraints related to energy transfer efficiencies in sensing systems. Therefore, the construction of high-performance UCNPs-based sensing platforms is an important cornerstone for conducting relevant research. This work begins by providing a brief overview of the upconversion luminescence mechanism in UCNPs. Subsequently, it offers a comprehensive summary of the sensors' types, design principles, and optimized design strategies for UCNPs sensing platforms. More cost-effective and promising point-of-care testing applications implemented based on UCNPs sensing systems are also summarized. Finally, this work addresses the future challenges and prospects for UCNPs-based sensing platforms.

Abstract
A theoretical method for calculating rate constants for internal conversion (IC), intersystem crossing (ISC) and radiative (R) electronic transitions is presented. The employed method uses temperature-dependent quantum Green's functions, which give the opportunity to consider almost any nth-order polynomial perturbation operator and the influence of external electromagnetic fields on the rate constants. The rate constants of the IC, ISC and R processes are calculated for two important indocyanine molecules namely indocyanine green (ICG) and heptamethine cyanine (IR808) at the Franck-Condon level using the temperature-dependent quantum Green's function approach. Calculations at the time-dependent density functional theory level with the MN15 functional show that ICG and IR808 have only one triplet state below the S1 state. The main deactivation channel of the S1 state is the IC process with a large (kIC(S1 → S0)) rate constant of ∼109-1011 s-1. The estimated quantum yield of fluorescence (φfl) is ∼0.001-0.24 for the two studied molecules, which agrees rather well with experimental values. Thus, the present approach enables calculations of the three kinds of rate constants and the quantum yield of fluorescence using the same computational methodology.

Abstract
Previously limited to highly symmetrical homoleptic triple-helical complexes [Er(Lk)3 ]3+ , where Lk are polyaromatic tridentate ligands, single-center molecular-based upconversion using linear optics and exploiting the excited-state absorption mechanism (ESA) greatly benefits from the design of stable and low-symmetrical [LkEr(hfa)3 ] heteroleptic adducts (hfa- =hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion). Depending on (i) the extended π-electron delocalization, (ii) the flexibility and (iii) the heavy atom effect brought by the bound ligand Lk, the near-infrared (801 nm) to visible green (542 nm) upconversion quantum yield measured for [LkEr(hfa)3 ] in solution at room temperature can be boosted by up to three orders of magnitude.

Abstract
Aberrant expressions of biomolecules occur much earlier than tumor visualized size and morphology change, but their common measurement strategies such as biopsy suffer from invasive sampling process. In vivo imaging of slight biomolecule expression difference is urgently needed for early cancer detection. Fluorescence of rare earth nanoparticles (RENPs) in second near-infrared (NIR-II) region makes them appropriate tool for in vivo imaging. However, the incapacity to couple with signal amplification strategies, especially programmable signal amplification strategies, limited their application in lowly expressed biomarkers imaging. Here we develop a 980/808 nm NIR programmed in vivo microRNAs (miRNAs) magnifier by conjugating activatable DNAzyme walker set to RENPs, which achieves more effective NIR-II imaging of early stage tumor than size monitoring imaging technique. Dye FD1080 (FD1080) modified substrate DNA quenches NIR-II downconversion emission of RENPs under 808 nm excitation. The miRNA recognition region in DNAzyme walker is sealed by a photo-cleavable strand to avoid "false positive" signal in systemic circulation. Upconversion emission of RENPs under 980 nm irradiation activates DNAzyme walker for miRNA recognition and amplifies NIR-II fluorescence recovery of RENPs via DNAzyme catalytic reaction to achieve in vivo miRNA imaging. This strategy demonstrates good application potential in the field of early cancer detection.

The Combination of Upconversion Nanoparticles and Perovskite Quantum Dots with Temperature-Dependent Emission Colors for Dual-Mode Anti-Counterfeiting Applications. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:3102. [PMID: 38132999 PMCID: PMC10745397 DOI: 10.3390/nano13243102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Novel and high-security anti-counterfeiting technology has always been the focus of attention and research. This work proposes a nanocomposite combination of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) to achieve color-adjustable dual-mode luminescence anti-counterfeiting. Firstly, a series of NaGdF4: Yb/Tm UCNPs with different sizes were synthesized, and their thermal-enhanced upconversion luminescence performances were investigated. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity of the samples increases with rising temperature, and the UCL thermal enhancement factor rises as the particle size decreases. This intriguing thermal enhancement phenomenon can be attributed to the mitigation of surface luminescence quenching. Furthermore, CsPbBr3 PeQDs were well adhered to the surfaces and surroundings of the UCNPs. Leveraging energy transfer and the contrasting temperature responses of UCNPs and PeQDs, this nanocomposite was utilized as a dual-mode thermochromic anti-counterfeiting system. As the temperature increases, the color of the composite changes from green to pink under 980 nm excitation, while it displays green to non-luminescence under 365 nm excitation. This new anti-counterfeiting material, with its high security and convenience, has great potential in anti-counterfeiting applications.

Abstract
A nanohybrid made of a xanthenic dye, rose bengal, grafted to an ytterbium and erbium codoped upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) served as a proof-of-concept to evaluate the fundamental mechanisms which govern the dye photophysics upon interaction with the UCNP. Both photoactive lanthanides strongly influence the singlet and triplet excited states of rose bengal.

Abstract
Phototherapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have attracted great attention in the field of cancer treatment. However, the individual PDT or PTT makes it difficult to achieve optimal antitumor effects compared to the PDT/PTT combined therapy. Also, the effect of PDT is usually limited by the penetration depth of the UV-vis light source. Herein, we designed and synthesized novel composite nanoparticles UCNPs-CPs, which are constructed from two conjugated polymers and upconversion nanoparticles β-NaYF4:Yb,Tm (UCNPs) via a coordination reaction. By virtue of the excellent spectral overlap between absorption of conjugated polymers and emission of UCNPs, the UCNPs can absorb NIR light and effectively excite conjugated polymers by energy transfer to produce massive reactive oxygen species under 980 nm excitation and heat energy under 808 nm laser irradiation, achieving photodynamic/photothermal synergistic therapy. The in vitro cellular investigation proves that the dual modal phototherapy exhibits enhanced antitumor ability compared to single PDT or PTT. Furthermore, UCNPs-CPs inhibit tumor growth 100% in a 4T1 breast tumor mice model with both NIR laser irradiation, indicating that UCNPs-CPs is an excellent platform for synergistic PDT/PTT treatment. Thus, this study provides a promising strategy for NIR-triggered dual modal phototherapy.

Abstract
Nanoprobes based on lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit promising potential in bioimaging and biosensing due to their unique optical properties. However, conventional UCNP nanoprobes based on the dye quenching effect are still limited in biosensing due to their low upconversion efficiency. The advent of dye-sensitized upconversion has resulted in nanoprobes with significantly enhanced efficiency; however, these still suffer from a high initial emissive background. In view of this, herein, we have constructed a dye-quenched/sensitized switching upconversion nanoprobe for high-contrast imaging of the pH-related tumor microenvironment. Under normal conditions, the luminescence of the nanoprobe at 540 nm (UCL540) was significantly quenched by the employed dye. Upon being triggered by an acid, the dye would switch to its fluorescent form to sensitize the luminescence of UCNPs, affording a significant enhancement of UCL540. The switching from dye-quenched UCL to dye-sensitized UCL jointly enables the detection of a high signal-to-background ratio (high up to 50), allowing for high-contrast mapping of the tumor specific acidic microenvironment in vivo. We believe that this nanoplatform holds considerable promise for acid-related sensing.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for causing life-threatening infections that result in high morbidity and mortality rates. The development of advanced imaging and therapeutic methods for in vivo diagnosis and treatment of MRSA infections remains challenging. Here, we develop a hybrid nanoplatform based on rare-earth-doped nanoparticles (RENPs) sensitized by a moiety-engineered near-infrared (NIR) TPEO-820 dye and with a ZIF-8 layer that incorporates CysNO, a photochemically triggered nitric oxide donor. We then use the hybrid for both NIR-II bioimaging and photoactivatable treatment of MRSA-infected wounds. We show that the NIR dye sensitization leads to an 8.5-fold enhancement of the downshifting emission and facilitates deep-tissue NIR-II imaging of bacterial infections. Moreover, the sensitization strategy enhances the UV emission of RENPs by two orders of magnitude, leading to the efficiently controllable release of nitric oxide for effective disinfection of MRSA in vitro and in vivo. The hybrid nanoplatform thus offers promising opportunities for simultaneous localization and controllable treatment of MRSA. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Early detection and treatment of MRSA infections are crucial for reducing public health risks. It is a significant challenge that develops sensitive in vivo diagnosis and complete elimination of drug-resistant bacterial infections. Herein, a nanoplatform has been developed for photoactivatable therapy of MRSA infections and deep tissue NIR-II imaging. This platform utilizes lanthanide-doped rare earth nanoparticles (RENPs) that are sensitized by a moiety-engineered near-infrared (NIR) dye TPEO-820. The TPEO-820 sensitized RENPs exhibit 5 times increase in the release of NO concentration for MRSA treatment compared to unsensitized RENPs, enabling precise therapy of MRSA infection both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the platform demonstrates NIR-II luminescence in vivo, allowing for sensitive imaging in deep tissue for MRSA infection.

Abstract
Recently, up-conversion luminescent (UCL) materials have caught extensive sight on account of their excellent biocompatibility and weak automatic fluorescence background, but the low optical signal makes researchers shy away. Organic dye-sensitized UCL materials can improve the low optical signal drawback of UCL and rejuvenate it with adjustable optical properties and unique antenna effects. In this work, an efficient, simple and selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform was developed for determination of enrofloxacin (ENR). 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) was successfully used as an "antenna" to improve the ECL performance of the UCL nanoparticles (PEI-NaYF4: Yb, Er) due to its appropriate excitation spectrum position and superior electron transfer rate. The specific recognition function of the aptamer enabled the sensor to eliminate the interference from conspecific impurity. In the presence of ENR, the specific combination of ENR with aptamer made the aptamer fall from surface of the electrode, thus we could see a considerable enhancement of signal. Under the most favourable conditions, the aptasensor based on antenna effect displayed a wide detection range (1.0 × 10-14∼1.0 × 10-6 M), low limit of detection (LOD = 3.0 × 10-15 M) and receivable recoveries (96.0%-102.4%) during water samples analysis. At this point, antenna effect provides a powerful strategy to expand the application of UCL in the field of ECL biosensing.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped photon avalanche (PA) upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have great prospects in many advanced technologies; however, realizing efficient PA luminescence in Ln3+-doped UCNPs remains challenging due to the deleterious surface and lattice quenching effect. Herein, we report a unique strategy based on the pyrolysis of KHF2 for the controlled synthesis of aliovalent Ln3+-doped KMgF3 UCNPs, which can effectively protect Ln3+ from luminescence quenching by surface and internal OH- defects and thereby boost upconversion luminescence. This enables us to realize efficient PA luminescence from Tm3+ at 802 nm in KMgF3: Tm3+ UCNPs upon 1064 nm excitation, with a giant nonlinearity of ∼27, a PA response time of 281 ms, and an excitation threshold of 16.6 kW cm-2. This work may open up a new avenue for exploring highly nonlinear PA luminescence through aliovalent Ln3+ doping and crystal lattice engineering toward diverse emerging applications.

Abstract
The effect of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of a system consisting of a highly dipolar merocyanine dye and a silver nanoparticle (NP) was studied experimentally and theoretically. A theoretical model for estimating the fluorescence quantum yield (φfl) using quantum chemical calculations of intramolecular and intermolecular electronic transition rate constants was developed. Calculations show that the main deactivation channels of the lowest excited singlet state of the studied merocyanines are internal conversion (kIC(S1 → S0)) and fluorescence (kr(S1 → S0)). The intersystem-crossing transition has a low probability due to the large energy difference between the singlet and triplet levels. In the presence of plasmonic NPs, the fluorescence quantum yield is increased by a factor of two according to both experiment and computations. The calculated values of φfl, when considering changes in kr(S1 → S0) and the energy-transfer rate constant (ktransfer) from the dye to the NP was also twice as large at distances of 6-8 nm between the NP and the dye molecule. We also found that the LSPR effect can be increased or decreased depending on the value of the dielectric constant (εm) of the environment.

Abstract
Dye sensitization is a promising approach to enhance the luminescence of lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles. However, the poor photostability of near-infrared dyes hampers their use in practical applications. To address this, commercial IR820 was modified for improved photostability and covalently bonded to amine-functionalized silica-coated LnUCNPs. Two methods of covalent linking were investigated: linking the dye to the surface of the silica shell, and embedding the dye within the silica shell. The photostability of the dyes when embedded in the silica shell exhibited upconversion emissions from NaGdF4:Er3+,Yb3+/NaGdF4:Yb3+ nanoparticles for over four hours of continuous excitation with no change in intensity. To highlight this improvement, the photostable dye-embedded system was successfully utilized for Fenton-type photocatalysis, emphasizing its potential for practical applications. Overall, this study presents a facile strategy to circumvent the overlooked limitations associated with photodegradation, opening up new possibilities for the use of dye-sensitized lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles in a range of fields.

Abstract
The rapid photobleaching of near-infrared (NIR) dye-sensitized upconversion nanosystems is one of the crucial problems that has blocked their technological applications. Uncovering the photophysical and photochemical pathways of NIR dyes would help to elucidate the photobleaching mechanism and thereby improve the photostability of the system. Here we investigate the triplet dynamics of NIR dyes and their interaction with triplet oxygen in the typically investigated IR806-sensitized upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) nanosystem. Low-temperature fluorescence at 77 K provides direct proof of the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) under 808 nm laser irradiation. Mass spectrometry indicates that all three double bonds in the structure of IR806 can be broken in the photochemical process. Coupling IR806 to the surface of UCNPs can accelerate its triplet dynamics, thus producing more 1O2 to photocleave IR806. Importantly, we find that the addition of β-carotene can scavenge the generated 1O2, thereby providing a simple method to effectively inhibit photobleaching.

Abstract
Lanthanide nanomaterials have garnered significant attention from researchers among the main near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanomaterials due to their excellent chemical and fluorescence stability, narrow emission band, adjustable luminescence color, and long lifetime. In recent years, with the preparation, functional modification, and fluorescence improvement of lanthanide materials, great progress has been made in their application in the biomedical field. This review focuses on the latest progress of lanthanide nanomaterials in tumor diagnosis and treatment, as well as the interaction mechanism between fluorescence and biological tissues. We introduce a set of efficient strategies for improving the fluorescence properties of lanthanide nanomaterials and discuss some representative in-depth research work in detail, showcasing their superiority in early detection of ultra-small tumors, phototherapy, and real-time guidance for surgical resection. However, lanthanide nanomaterials have only realized a portion of their potential in tumor applications so far. Therefore, we discuss promising methods for further improving the performance of lanthanide nanomaterials and their future development directions.

Abstract
Whereas dye-sensitized lanthanide-doped nanoparticles represent an unquestionable advance for pushing linear near-infrared (NIR) to visible-light upconversion within the frame of applications, analogous improvements are difficult to mimic for related but intramolecular processes induced at the molecular level in coordination complexes. Major difficulties arise from the cationic nature of the target cyanine-containing sensitizers (S), which drastically limits their thermodynamic affinities for catching the lanthanide activators (A) required for performing linear light upconversion. In this context, the rare previous design of stable dye-containing molecular SA light-upconverters required large S···A distances at the cost of the operation of only poorly efficient intramolecular S → A energy transfers and global sensitization. With the synthesis of the compact ligand [L2]+, we exploit here the benefit of using a single sulfur connector between the dye and the binding unit for counterbalancing the drastic electrostatic penalty which is expected to prevent metal complexation. Quantitative amounts of nine-coordinate [L2Er(hfac)3]+ molecular adducts could be finally prepared in solution at millimolar concentrations, while the S···A distance has been reduced by 40% to reach circa 0.7 nm. Detailed photophysical studies demonstrate the operation of a three times improved energy transfer upconversion (ETU) mechanism for molecular [L2Er(hfac)3]+ in acetonitrile at room temperature, thanks to the boosted heavy atom effect operating in the close cyanine/Er pair. NIR excitation at 801 nm can thus be upconverted into visible light (525-545 nm) with an unprecedented brightness of Bup(801 nm) = 2.0(1) × 10-3 M-1·cm-1 for a molecular lanthanide complex.

Abstract
Ion channels are transmembrane proteins ubiquitously expressed in all cells that control various ions (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl- etc) crossing cellular plasma membrane, which play critical roles in physiological processes including regulating signal transduction, cell proliferation as well as excitatory cell excitation and conduction. Abnormal ion channel function is usually associated with dysfunctions and many diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders, ophthalmic diseases, pulmonary diseases and even cancers. The precise regulation of ion channels not only helps to decipher physiological and pathological processes, but also is expected to become cutting-edge means for disease treatment. Recently, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel manipulation emerges as a highly promising way to meet the increasing requirements with respect to their simple, efficient, precise, spatiotemporally controllable and non-invasive regulation in biomedicine and other research frontiers. Thanks the advantages of their unique properties, nanoparticles can not only directly block the pore sites or kinetics of ion channels through their tiny size effect, and perturb active voltage-gated ion channel by their charged surface, but they can also act as antennas to conduct or enhance external physical stimuli to achieve spatiotemporal, precise and efficient regulation of various ion channel activities (e.g. light-, mechanical-, and temperature-gated ion channels etc). So far, nanoparticles-mediated ion channel regulation has shown potential prospects in many biomedical fields at the interfaces of neuro- and cardiovascular modulation, physiological function regeneration and tumor therapy et al. Towards such important fields, in this typical review, we specifically outline the latest studies of different types of ion channels and their activities relevant to the diseases. In addition, the different types of stimulation responsive nanoparticles, their interaction modes and targeting strategies towards the plasma membrane ion channels will be systematically summarized. More importantly, the ion channel regulatory methods mediated by functional nanoparticles and their bioapplications associated with physiological modulation and therapeutic development will be discussed. Last but not least, current challenges and future perspectives in this field will be covered as well.

Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) imaging has become a fundamental tool in disease diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation, and surgical navigation applications. However, it remains a big challenge to engineer nanoprobes for high-efficiency in vivo imaging and clinical translation. Recent years have witnessed increasing research efforts devoted into engineering sub-10 nm ultrasmall nanoprobes for in vivo PL imaging, which offer the advantages of efficient body clearance, desired clinical translation potential, and high imaging signal-to-noise ratio. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary and contrastive discussion of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes towards in vivo PL bioimaging of diseases. We first summarize size-dependent nano-bio interactions and imaging features, illustrating the unique attributes and advantages/disadvantages of ultrasmall nanoprobes differentiating them from molecular and large-sized probes. We also discuss general design methodologies and PL properties of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes, which are established based on quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and silicon nanoparticles. Then, recent advances of ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes are highlighted by surveying their latest in vivo PL imaging applications. Finally, we discuss existing challenges in this exciting field and propose some strategies to improve in vivo PL bioimaging and further propel their clinical applications.

Upconversion optogenetics-driven biohybrid sensor for infrared sensing and imaging. Acta Biomater 2023; 158:747-758.

Abstract
Living organisms are far superior to state-of-the-art devices in visual perception as they have evolved a wide number of capabilities that encompass our most advanced technologies. By leveraging the performance of living organisms and directly interfacing them with artificial components, it can use the intricacy and metabolic efficiency of biological visual sensing within artificial machines. Inspired by the molecular basis (transient receptor potential, TRP) for infrared detection of pit-bearing organisms, we propose a TRP-like biohybrid sensor by integrating upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) and optogenetically engineered cells on a graphene transistor for infrared sensing and imaging. The UCNP converts infrared light irradiation into blue light, the blue light activates the cells expressed with channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) and induces transmembrane photocurrent, and the photocurrent is detected by a biocompatible graphene transistor. Stepwise and overall experimental results show that, upon infrared light irradiation, the UCNP can rapidly mediate cellular photocurrents, which further translates into the extra output current of the graphene transistor. More notably, the response speed of the biohybrid sensor is 1∼3 orders of magnitude faster than those of TRPs heterologously expressed in cell lines in the literature, which confirms the response time advantage of the combination of UCNP and ChR2 within the sensor in place of TRPs. The biohybrid sensor can successfully image infrared targets, proving the feasibility of developing bionic infrared sensing devices by biohybrid integration of nonliving nanomaterials and biological components. This work opens up an avenue for biohybrid sensors to develop the bionic infrared vision that promisingly reproduces the functional superiority of natural organisms. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Infrared sensing and imaging have a wide range of military and civilian applications. Organisms have evolved excellent infrared vision with the molecular basis, transient receptor potential (TRP), and the performance is superior to existing state-of-the-art infrared devices. Inspired by this, a TRP-like biohybrid sensor based on upconversion optogenetics and a 2D material-based device is developed for infrared sensing and imaging. The biohybrid sensor has a relatively fast response speed that is 1∼3 orders of magnitude faster than that of the heterologously expressed TRPs, which enables its capability of infrared imaging with a single pixel-based method. This work broadens the spectrum of biohybrid sensing based on engineered cells to infrared, advancing the process of reproducing the excellent infrared detection of organisms.

Abstract
The quenching in luminescence emission of an optically trapped ligand-free hydrophilic NaYF4:Yb, Er upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) as a function of rose Bengal dye molecule is investigated here. The removal of oleate capping of the as-prepared UCNPs was achieved via acid treatment and characterized via FTIR and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Further, the capping removed hydrophilic single UCNP is optically trapped and the emission studies were carried out as a function of excitation laser power. Compared to the studies using the bulk solution, the single UCNP luminescence spectrum exhibited additional spectral lines. The excitation laser power-dependent studies using the bulk solution yield a slope value between 1 and 2 for Blue, Green 1, Green 2, and Red emission and thus indicate that upconversion is a two-photon upconversion process. On the other hand, in the case of laser power-dependent studies on an optically trapped single-particle study, Blue and Green 1 yield a slope value of less than 1 whereas Green 2 and Red emission gave a slope value between 1 and 2. The energy transfer studies between an optically trapped ligand-free single UCNP and the rose Bengal dye show a concentration-dependent quenching in the emission of Green emissions and illustrate the potential of developing sensor platforms.

Abstract
Heterostructures comprising lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (DUCNPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising nanosystems for integrating medical diagnosis and treatment. Here, the DUCNP@Mn-MOF nanocarrier was developed, which showed good efficiency for loading and delivering a cytotoxic antitumor agent (3-F-10-OH-evodiamine, FOE). The combined advantages of the pH-responsive and peroxidase-like properties of Mn-MOF and the unique optical features of DUCNPs granted the DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE system synergistic chemodynamic and chemotherapeutic effects. The DUCNP@Mn-MOF nanocarrier effectively overcame the intrinsic limitations of FOE, such as its unfavorable physicochemical properties and limited in vivo potency. This complexed nanosystem was responsive to the tumor microenvironment and showed excellent tumor targeting capability. Thus, DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE exhibited highly selective and bioavailable drug delivery properties and is promising for cancer therapy. In a mouse breast cancer model, DUCNP@Mn-MOF/FOE inhibited tumor growth without significant toxicity. Therefore, the proposed nanosystem represents a promising theragnostic platform for multimodal combination diagnosis and therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Facile access to site-selective hetero-lanthanide molecules will open new avenues in the search of novel photophysical phenomena based on Ln-to-Ln' energy transfer (ET). This challenge demands strategies to segregate efficiently different Ln metal ions among different positions in a molecule. We report here the one-step synthesis and structure of a pure [YbNdYb] (1) coordination complex featuring short Yb···Nd distances, ideal to investigate a potential distributive (i.e., from one donor to two acceptors) intramolecular ET from one Nd3+ ion to two Yb3+ centers within a well-characterized molecule. The difference in ionic radius is the mechanism allowing to allocate selectively both types of metal ion within the molecular structure, exploited with the simultaneous use of two β-diketone-type ligands. To assist the photophysical investigation of this heterometallic species, the analogues [YbLaYb] (2) and [LuNdLu] (3) have also been prepared. Sensitization of Yb3+ and Nd3+ in the last two complexes, respectively, was observed, with remarkably long decay times, facilitating the determination of the Nd-to-Yb ET within the [YbNdYb] composite. This ET was demonstrated by comparing the emission of iso-absorbant solutions of 1, 2, and 3 and through lifetime determinations in solution and solid state. The comparatively high efficiency of this process corroborates the facilitating effect of having two acceptors for the nonradiative decay of Nd3+ created within the [YbNdYb] molecule.

Abstract
Lanthanide based upconversion (UC) nanoprobes have emerged as promising agents for biological applications. Extending the excitation light to the second near-infrared (NIR-II), instead of the traditional 980/808 nm light, and realizing NIR-II responsive single-band red UC emission is highly demanded for bioimaging application, which has not yet been explored. Here, a new type of NIR-II (1532 nm) light responsive UC nanoparticles (UCNPs) with enhanced single-band red UC emission and controllable phase and size is designed by introducing Er3+ as sensitizer and utilizing Mn2+ as energy manipulator. Through tuning the content of Mn2+ in NaLnF4 :Er/Mn, the crystal phase, size, and emitting color are readily controlled, and the red-to-green (R/G) ratio is significantly increased from ≈20 to ≈300, leading to NIR-II responsive single band red emission via efficient energy transfer between Er3+ and Mn2+ . In addition, the single band red emitting intensity can be further improved by coating shell to avoid the surface quenching effect. More importantly, NIR-II light activated red UC bioimaging and photodynamic therapy through loading photosensitizer of zinc phthalocyanine are successfully achieved for the first time. These findings provide a new strategy of designing NIR-II light responsive single-band red emissive UCNPs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
This study demonstrates dynamically tunable multicolor emissions from a single component, zero-dimensional (0-D) cesium europium chloride (Cs3EuCl6) and cesium terbium chloride (Cs3TbCl6) nanocrystals (NCs). Highly uniform colloidal Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6 NCs are synthesized via the heating-up method. Excitation-wavelength-dependent multicolor emissions from Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6 NCs are observed. Under excitation of 330-400 nm, both NCs exhibit blue photoluminescence (PL). Under wavelengths shorter than 330 nm, characteristic red and green emissions are observed from Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6, respectively, owing to the atomic emissions from the f-orbitals in trivalent europium (Eu3+) and terbium (Tb3+) ions. Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6 NCs exhibit broadband excitation spectra and enhanced absorption properties. Particularly, Cs3EuCl6 NCs exhibit a very narrow full-width at half-maximum in both blue and red PL and no overlap between the two spectra. The photophysical properties of these NCs are further investigated to understand the multicolor PL origins by time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements. Finally, the potential applications of Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6 NCs as anti-counterfeiting inks for high-level security are demonstrated. Given their broadband excitation with enhanced absorption properties and dynamically tunable colors with a wide color gamut, Cs3EuCl6 and Cs3TbCl6 NCs have great potential as novel multicolor NC emitters for many emerging applications.

Abstract
The rising dangers of bacterial infections have created an urgent need for the development of a new generation of antibacterial technologies and therapeutics. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT), considered as a noninvasive treatment with no drug resistance, has become a new promising photochemistry-involved treatment strategy. Titanium oxide (TiO2 ) is proved to be a very efficient PDT agent among the photosensitive materials, while the property of a large bandgap of TiO2 makes it only be excited by ultraviolet light, which is harmful to organisms. In this work, a novel ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) mediated TiO2 PDT strategy is proposed via the harmless near-infrared light irradiation. By choosing a mussel-inspired material, polydopamine (PDA) is involved in forming mesoporous TiO2 @PDA nanoparticles (mTiO2 @PDA NPs). The catechol groups of PDA can attach the TiO2 tightly even in colloidal environments, and can also form the LMCT bridge, exciting TiO2 to exert PDT function via 808 nm irradiation. Combining the sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of TiO2 and the photothermal therapy properties of PDA, this simple structure mTiO2 @PDA enables synergistic antibacterial applications with multiple functions under the dual excitation of NIR and ultrasound. This reliable all-in-one NPs can achieve great antibacterial effect and a rapid repair of infected wounds.

Abstract
In recent years, extensive research has been directed toward the successful preparation of nanoscale luminescent thermometers with high sensitivities operative in a broad temperature range. To achieve this goal, we have devised a unique design and facile multistep synthesis of Zr-ctpy-NMOF@TbxEuy compounds by confining Ln-complexes (Ln = Eu3+/Tb3+) into a robust nanoscale Zr-NMOF (MOF-808) via postsynthetic modification. Covalent grafting of 4-(4'-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6,2″terpyridine ligand (ctpy) with a high triplet state energy and corresponding immobilization of bimetallic Ln3+ ions resulted in yellow light-emitting Zr-ctpy-NMOF@Tb1.66Eu0.14 to achieve a sensitivity of 5.2% K-1 (thermal uncertainty dT < 1 K) operative over a broad temperature range of 25-400 K. To defeat the odds related to the detection of minute temperature changes using luminescent materials, we prepared a white light-emitting Zr-ctpy-NMOF@Tb1.4Eu0.31 that showed temperature-modulated multispectrum chromism where the color drastically changes from green (at 25 K, Q.Y.: 20.21%) to yellowish-green (at 200 K, Q.Y.: 23.13%) to white (at 300 K, Q.Y.: 26.4%) to orange (at 350 K, Q.Y.: 26.93%) and finally red (at 400 K, Q.Y.: 28.2%) with a high energy transfer efficiency of 49.8%, which is further supported by electron-phonon coupling.

Abstract
The attractive features of lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescence (UCL), such as high photostability, nonphotobleaching or photoblinking, and large anti-Stokes shift, have shown great potentials in life science, information technology, and energy materials. Therefore, UCL modulation is highly demanded toward expected emission wavelength, lifetime, and relative intensity in order to satisfy stringent requirements raised from a wide variety of areas. Unfortunately, the majority of efforts have been devoted to either simple codoping of multiple activators or variation of hosts, while very little attention has been paid to the critical role that sensitizers have been playing. In fact, different sensitizers possess different excitation wavelengths and different energy transfer pathways (to different activators), which will lead to different UCL features. Thus, rational design of sensitizers shall provide extra opportunities for UCL tuning, particularly from the excitation side. In this review, we specifically focus on advances in sensitizers, including the current status, working mechanisms, design principles, as well as future challenges and endeavor directions.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanostructures, which can upconvert near-infrared (NIR) light with low energy to visible or UV light with higher energy, are investigated for theranostic applications. The surface of lanthanide (Ln)-doped UC nanostructures can be modified with different functional groups and bioconjugated with biomolecules for therapeutic systems. On the other hand, organic molecular-based UC nanostructures, by using the triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) UC mechanism, have high UC quantum yields and do not require high excitation power. In this review, the major UC mechanisms in different nanostructures have been introduced, including the Ln-doped UC mechanism and the TTA UC mechanism. The design and fabrication of Ln-doped UC nanostructures and TTA UC-based UC nanostructures for theranostic applications have been reviewed and discussed. In addition, the current progress in the application of UC nanostructures for diagnosis and therapy has been summarized, including tumor-targeted bioimaging and chemotherapy, image-guided diagnosis and phototherapy, NIR-triggered controlled drug releasing and bioimaging. We also provide insight into the development of emerging UC nanostructures in the field of theranostics.

Abstract
Biomedical fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 100-1700 nm) window provides great potential for visualizing physiological and pathological processes, owing to the reduced tissue absorption, scattering, and autofluorescence. Various types of NIR-II probes have been reported in the past decade. Among them, NIR-II organic/inorganic nanohybrids have attracted widespread attention due to their unique properties by integrating the advantages of both organic and inorganic species. Versatile organic/inorganic nanohybrids provide the possibility of realizing a combination of functions, controllable size, and multiple optical features. This tutorial review summarizes the reported organic and inorganic species in nanohybrids, and their biomedical applications in NIR-II fluorescence and lifetime imaging. Finally, the challenges and outlook of organic/inorganic nanohybrids in biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Mesna is an important regional antidote for protecting the urinary system of chemotherapy patients, which requires monitoring its level in real time to ensure the curative effect. The fluorescence method is a powerful tool in real-time detection with the advantages of fast response and visualization. However, the background interference limits its application in biological sensing. Here, we developed a portable sensing platform using an upconversion-based nanosensor for visual quantitative monitoring of mesna in real-time/on-site conditions. The nanosensor was constructed by upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and ethyl violet (EV), in which the UCNPs emitted red and green light, while EV quenched the green light due to the inner filter effect (IFE). The reaction of mesna with EV caused its fading and broke the IFE process, leading to the recovery of green light. By the fluorescence and colorimetric chromaticity variations, the nanosensor achieved a dual-readout detection for mesna with low limits of detection (LODs) of 26 and 48 nM, respectively. Furthermore, a highly compatible sensing platform was fabricated for facile determination of mesna with an LOD of 56 nM, realizing visual quantitative monitoring of the mesna level to ensure the curative effect and providing a new strategy for point-of-care testing of drugs in clinical settings.

Abstract
Future technologies underpinning multifunctional physical and chemical systems and compact biological sensors will rely on densely packed transformative and tunable circuitry employing nanophotonics. For many years, plasmonics was considered as the only available platform for subwavelength optics, but the recently emerged field of resonant metaphotonics may provide a versatile practical platform for nanoscale science by employing resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and metasurfaces. Here, we discuss the recently emerged field of metaphotonics and describe its connection to material science and chemistry. For tunabilty, metaphotonics employs a variety of the recently highlighted materials such as polymers, perovskites, transition metal dichalcogenides, and phase change materials. This allows to achieve diverse functionalities of metasystems and metasurfaces for efficient spatial and temporal control of light by employing multipolar resonances and the physics of bound states in the continuum. We anticipate expanding applications of these concepts in nanolasers, tunable metadevices, metachemistry, as well as a design of a new generation of chemical and biological ultracompact sensing devices.

Abstract
In this research, rare earth nanoparticles coupled with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and a targeted antibody (RENP-DHA-Cap) for sprayed NIR II imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tongue cancer were designed. Genetic algorithms combined with combinatorial chemistry were proposed and successfully achieved in a single optimized luminescent phosphor with enhanced NIR II and high upconversion luminescence (UCL) under a NIR laser of wavelength 980 nm or/and 808 nm. In particular, T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals can be adjusted with the Gd ion concentration. In combination with the targeted antibody of capmatinib (Cap), precise NIR II imaging for in situ tongue cancer by a simple spray method can be achieved. Most importantly, NIR II imaging and PDT treatment can be realized with RENP-DHA-capmatinib injected intravenously. This orthogonal theranostic mode with precise diagnosis under 808 nm and targeted effective treatment under 980 nm may promote tongue cancer theranostics.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized two new cyaninic Nd3+ complexes where the lanthanide emission can be induced from simultaneous two-photon absorption followed by energy migration. These complexes correspond to a molecular design that uses an antenna ligand formed by the functionalization of a heptamethine dye with 5-ol-phenanthroline or 4-phenyl-terpyridine derivatives. These complexes employ the important nonlinear optical properties of symmetric polymethines to sensitize the lanthanide ion. We verified that simultaneous biphotonic excitation indirectly induces the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 Nd3+ emission using femtosecond laser pulses tuned below the first electronic transition of the antenna. The simultaneous two-photon excitation events initially form the nonlinear-active second excited singlet of the polymethine antenna, which rapidly evolves into its first excited singlet. This state in turn induces the formation of the emissive Nd3+ states through energy transfer. The role of the first excited singlet of the antenna as the donor state in this process was verified through time resolution of the antenna's fluorescence. These measurements also provided the rates for antenna-lanthanide energy transfer, which indicate that the phenanthroline-type ligand is approximately five times more efficient for energy transfer than the phenyl-terpyridine derivative due to their relative donor-acceptor distances. The simultaneous two-photon excitation of this polymethine antenna allows for high spatial localization of the Nd3+excitation events.

Abstract
The luminescence properties of two types of heterotrimetallic aluminum-lanthanide-sodium 12-metallacrown-4 compounds are presented here, LnNa(ben)4[12-MCAl(III)N(shi)-4] (LnAl4Na) and {LnNa[12-MCAl(III)N(shi)-4]}2(iph)4 (Ln2Al8Na2), where Ln = GdIII, TbIII, ErIII, and YbIII, MC is metallacrown, ben- is benzoate, shi3- is salicylhydroximate, and iph2- is isophthalate. The aluminum-lanthanide-sodium metallacrowns formed with benzoate are discrete monomers while, upon replacement of the benzoate with the dicarboxylate isophthalate, two individual metallacrowns can be joined to form a dimer. In the solid state, the terbium version of each structure type displays emission in the visible region, and the erbium and ytterbium complexes emit in the near-infrared. The luminescence lifetimes (τobs) and quantum yields have been collected under ligand excitation (QLLn) for both LnAl4Na monomers and Ln2Al8Na2 dimers. Several of these values tend to be shorter (luminescence lifetimes) and smaller (quantum yields) than the corresponding values recorded for the structurally similar gallium-lanthanide monomer and dimer 12-MC-4 molecules. However, the quantum yield value recorded for the visible emitting Tb2Al8Na2 dimer, 43.9%, is the highest value observed in the solid state to date for a TbIII based metallacrown.

Abstract
The substitution of three water molecules around trivalent chromium in CrBr3·6H2O with the tridentate 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (tpy), N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di(pyridine-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-diamine (ddpd) or 2,6-di(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine (dqp) ligands gives the heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)Br3] complexes. Stepwise treatments with Ag(CF3SO3) and KCN under microwave irradiations provide mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] in moderate yields. According to their X-ray crystal structures, the associated six-coordinate meridional [CrN3C3] chromophores increasingly deviate from a pseudo-octahedral arrangement according to L = ddpd ≈ dpq ≪ tpy; a trend in line with the replacement of six-membered with five-membered chelate rings around CrIII. Room-temperature ligand-centered UV-excitation at 18 170 cm−1 (λexc = 350 nm), followed by energy transfer and intersystem crossing eventually yield microsecond metal-centered Cr(2E → 4A2) phosphorescence in the red to near infrared domain 13 150–12 650 cm−1 (760 ≤ λem ≤ 790 nm). Decreasing the temperature to liquid nitrogen (77 K) extends the emission lifetimes to reach the millisecond regime with a record of 4.02 ms for mer-[Cr(dqp)(CN)3] in frozen acetonitrile. The heteroleptic mer-[Cr(L)(CN)3] (L = tpy, ddpd, dqp) complexes with their C2v-symmetrical [CrC3N3] luminescent chromophores represent the missing links between pseudo-octahedral [CrN6] and [CrC6] units found in their well-known homoleptic parents.![]()
