Abstract
Energy-intensive technologies and high-precision research require energy-efficient techniques and materials. Lens-based optical microscopy technology is useful for low-energy applications in the life sciences and other fields of technology, but standard techniques cannot achieve applications at the nanoscale because of light diffraction. Far-field super-resolution techniques have broken beyond the light diffraction limit, enabling 3D applications down to the molecular scale and striving to reduce energy use. Typically targeted super-resolution techniques have achieved high resolution, but the high light intensity needed to outperform competing optical transitions in nanomaterials may result in photo-damage and high energy consumption. Great efforts have been made in the development of nanomaterials to improve the resolution and efficiency of these techniques toward low-energy super-resolution applications. Lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles that exhibit multiple long-lived excited energy states and emit upconversion luminescence have enabled the development of targeted super-resolution techniques that need low-intensity light. The use of lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles in these techniques for emerging low-energy super-resolution applications will have a significant impact on life sciences and other areas of technology. In this review, we describe the dynamics of lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles for super-resolution under low-intensity light and their use in targeted super-resolution techniques. We highlight low-energy super-resolution applications of lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles, as well as the related research directions and challenges. Our aim is to analyze targeted super-resolution techniques using lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles, emphasizing fundamental mechanisms governing transitions in lanthanide ions to surpass the diffraction limit with low-intensity light, and exploring their implications for low-energy nanoscale applications.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:15560-15570. [PMID: 38756482 PMCID: PMC11097754 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02861a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-based chromophores are highly sought after for designing near-infrared (NIR) absorbing and emitting dyes as well as for designing materials for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. The properties of these 'push-pull' molecules can easily be modified by varying the electronic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups as well as the π-conjugation linker. This study presents a methodical approach and employs quantum chemical analysis to explore the relationship between the structural features, electro-optical properties, and the NLO characteristics of molecules with D-π-A framework. The one- and two-photon absorption (2PA), linear polarizability (α), and first hyperpolarizability (β) of some novel chromophores, consisting of a dimeric aza-Boron Dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) analogue, called, pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY (PPAB), serving as the acceptor, have been investigated. The electronic donors used in this study are triphenylamine (TPA) and diphenylamine (DPA), and they are conjugated to the acceptor via thienyl or phenylene π-linkers. Additionally, the Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering (βHRS), which enables direct estimation of the second-order NLO properties, is calculated for the studied chromophores with 1064 nm excitation in acetonitrile. The β value shows a significant increase with increasing solvent polarity, indicating that the ICT plays a crucial role in shaping the NLO response of the studied molecules. The enhancement of the 2PA cross-section of the investigated molecules can also be achieved by modulating the combinations of donors and linkers. The results of our study indicate that the novel D-π-A molecules designed in this work demonstrate considerably higher hyperpolarizability values than the standard p-nitroaniline, making them promising candidates for future NLO applications.

Abstract
Optical data storage, information encryption, and security labeling technologies require materials that exhibit local, pronounced, and diverse modifications of their structure-dependent optical properties under external excitation. Herein, we propose and develop a novel platform relying on lead halide Ruddlesden-Popper phases that undergo a light-induced transition toward bulk perovskite and employ this phenomenon for the direct optical writing of multicolor patterns. This transition causes the weakening of quantum confinement and hence a reduction in the band gap. To extend the color gamut of photoluminescence, we use mixed-halide compositions that exhibit photoinduced halide segregation. The emission of the films can be tuned across the range of 450-600 nm. Laser irradiation provides high-resolution direct writing, whereas continuous-wave ultraviolet exposure is suitable for recording on larger scales. The luminescent images created on such films can be erased during the visualization process. This makes the proposed writing/erasing platform suitable for the manufacturing of optical data storage devices and light-erasable security labels.

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
Today's huge amount of data generation and transfer induced an urgent requirement for long-term data storage. Here, we demonstrate and discuss a concept for long-term storage using NV centers inside nanodiamonds. The approach is based upon the radiation-induced generation of additional vacancies (so-called GR1 states), which quench the initial NV centers, resulting in a reduced overall fluorescence lifetime of the NV center. Using the tailored fluorescence lifetime of the NV center to code the information, we demonstrate a "beyond binary" data storage density per bit. We also demonstrate that this process is reversible by heating the sample or the spot of information. This proof of principle shows that our technique may be a promising alternative data storage technology, especially in terms of long-term storage, due to the high stability of the involved color centers. In addition to the proof-of-principle demonstration using macroscopic samples, we suggest and discuss the usage of focused electron beams to write information in nanodiamond materials, to read it out with focused low-intensity light, and to erase it on the macro-, micro-, or nanoscale.

Abstract
This research paper reports the synthesis and luminescence study of an Eu3+ activated SrY2O4 phosphor prepared by a modified solid-state reaction method with varying concentrations of Eu3+ ions (0.1-2.5 mol%). X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the orthorhombic structure and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods were used to analyse the produced phosphors. Photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra were recorded for varying concentrations of Eu3+ ions, and an optimum concentration of 2.0 mol% was found to produce the highest intensity. Under 254 nm excitation the emission peaks were found to be at 580 nm, 590 nm, 611 nm and 619 nm, corresponding to transitions at 5D0 → 7F0, 5D0 → 7F1, and 5D0 → 7F2 respectively. Because of Eu3+ inherent luminosity, these emission peaks indicate radiative transitions between excited states of ions, making them useful for developing white light-emitting phosphors for optoelectronic and flexible display applications. The 1931 CIE (x, y) chromaticity coordinates were calculated from the photoluminescence emission spectra and found to be near white light emission, indicating the potential application of the prepared phosphor for light emitting diodes (white component). TL glow curve analysis was also performed for various concentrations of doping ions and UV exposure times, and a single broad peak was observed at 187 °C. Using the computerised glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method, kinetic parameters were computed.

Abstract
The use of bio-based reagents for silver nanoparticle (AgNP) production has gained much attention among researchers as it has paved the way for environmentally friendly approaches at low cost for synthesizing nanomaterials while maintaining their properties. In this study, Stellaria media aqueous extract was used for silver nanoparticle phyto-synthesis, and the resulting treatment was applied to textile fabrics to test its antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi strains. The chromatic effect was also established by determining the L*a*b* parameters. For optimizing the synthesis, different ratios of extract to silver precursor were tested using UV-Vis spectroscopy to observe the SPR-specific band. Moreover, the AgNP dispersions were tested for their antioxidant properties using chemiluminescence and TEAC methods, and the phenolic content was evaluated by the Folin-Ciocâlteu method. For the optimal ratio, values of average size, 50.11 ± 3.25 nm, zeta potential, -27.10 ± 2.16 mV, and polydispersity index, 0.209, were obtained via the DLS technique and zeta potential measurements. AgNPs were further characterized by EDX and XRD techniques to confirm their formation and by microscopic techniques to evaluate their morphology. TEM measurements revealed cvasi-spherical particles with sizes in the range of 10-30 nm, while SEM images confirmed their uniform distribution on the textile fiber surface.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano structures are significant in many applications because of their novel multi-functions and potential in high integration. As is known, the traditional methods for the processing of 3D micro/nano structures exhibit disadvantages in mass production and machining precision. Alternatively, ultrafast laser machining, as a rapid and high-power-density processing method, exhibits advantages in 3D micro/nano structuring due to its characteristics of extremely high peak power and ultra-short pulse. With the development of ultrafast laser processing for fine and complex structures, it is attracting significant interest and showing great potential in the manufacture of 3D micro/nano structures. In this review, we introduce the optimization mechanism of ultrafast laser machining in detail, such as the optimization of the repetition rate and pulse energy of the laser. Furthermore, the specific applications of 3D micro/nano structures by laser processing in the optical, electrochemical and biomedical fields are elaborated, and a valuable summary and perspective of 3D micro/nano manufacturing in these fields are provided.

Abstract
After excitation is stopped, long persistent phosphor materials (LPPs) can emit light for a long time. The most important feature is that it allows the separation of excitation and emission in time. Therefore, it plays a vital role in various fields such as data storage, information technology, and biomedicine. Owing to the unique mechanism of storage and luminescence, LPPs can avoid the interference of sample autofluorescence, as well as show strong tissue penetration ability, good afterglow performance, and rich spectral information in the near-infrared (NIR) region, which provides a broad prospect for the application of NIR LPPs in the field of biomedicine. In recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been advanced significantly, such as biological imaging, sensing detection, and surgical guidance. In this review, we focus on the synthesis methods and luminescence mechanisms of different types of NIR LPPs, as well as their applications in bioimaging, biosensing detection, and cancer treatment in the field of biomedicine. Finally, future prospects and challenges of NIR LPPs in biomedical applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Two brilliant outcomes of supramolecular self-assembly directed, low molecular weight organic gelator based self-healable Co(II) and Ni(II) metallogels were achieved. Adipic acid as the low molecular weight organic gelator and dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent are employed for the metallogelation process. Rheological analyses of both gel-scaffolds reveal mechanical toughness as well as visco-elasticity. Thixotropic behaviours of both the gels were scrutinized. Morphological variations due to the presence of two different metal ions with diverse metal-ligand coordinating interactions were established. The mechanistic pathways for forming stable metallogels of Co(II)-adipic acid (Co-AA) and Ni(II)-adipic acid (Ni-AA) were judiciously developed through infrared absorption spectral analysis. The nonlinear optical properties, such as the third-order process, of these synthesized metallogels were scrutinized by means of the Z-scan method at a beam excitation wavelength of 750 nm by a femtosecond laser with different excitation intensities ranging from 64 to 140 GW cm-2. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(3)) of the order of 10-14 esu was obtained from the measured Z-scan data. Both the metallogels exhibit positive nonlinear refraction and reverse saturable (RSA) absorption at high-intensity excitation. Co(II) and Ni(II) metallogels show nonlinear refractive indices (n2I) of (3.619 ± 0.146) × 10-6 cm2 GW-1 and (3.472 ± 0.102) × 10-6 cm2 GW-1, respectively, and two photon absorption coefficients (β) of (1.503 ± 0.045) × 10-1 cm GW-1 and (1.381 ± 0.029) × 10-1 cm GW-1 at an excitation intensity of 140 GW cm-2. We also studied the optical limiting properties with a limiting threshold of 9.57 mJ cm-2. Therefore, both metallogels can be considered promising materials for photonic devices: for instance, for optical switching and optical limiting.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12101645. [PMID: 35630867 PMCID: PMC9144094 DOI: 10.3390/nano12101645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenide-based quantum dots are promising materials for applications in diverse fields, such as sensors, electronics, catalysis, and biomedicine, because of their outstanding physicochemical properties. In this study, we propose bio-imaging characteristics through utilizing water-soluble MoS2 quantum dots (MoS2-QDs) with two different sizes (i.e., ~5 and ~10 nm). The structural and optical properties of the fabricated metallic phase MoS2-QDs (m-MoS2-QDs) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. The synthesized m-MoS2-QDs showed clear photophysical characteristic peaks derived from the quantum confinement effect and defect sites, such as oxygen functional groups. When the diameter of the synthesized m-MoS2-QD was decreased, the emission peak was blue-shifted from 436 to 486 nm under excitation by a He-Cd laser (325 nm). Density functional theory calculations confirmed that the size decrease of m-MoS2-QDs led to an increase in the bandgap because of quantum confinement effects. In addition, when incorporated into the bio-imaging of HeLa cells, m-MoS2-QDs were quite biocompatible with bright luminescence and exhibited low toxicity. Our results are commercially applicable for achieving high-performance bio-imaging probes.

Abstract
The development of new storage media to meet the demands for diverse information storage scenarios is a great challenge. Here, a series of lanthanide-based luminescent organogels with ultrastrong mechanical performance and outstanding plasticity are developed for patterned information storage and encryption applications. The organogels possessing outstanding mechanical properties and tunable luminescent colors are prepared by electrostatic and coordinative interactions between natural DNA, synthetic ligands, and rare earth (RE) ions. The organogel-REs can be stretched by 180 times and show an ultrastrong breaking strength of 80 MPa. A series of applications with both information storage and encryption, such as self-information pattern, quick response (QR) code, and barcode, are successfully demonstrated by the organogel-REs. The developed information storage systems have various advantages of good processability, high stretchability, excellent stability, and versatile design of information patterns. Therefore, the organogel-RE-based information storage systems are suitable for applications under different scenarios, such as flexible devices under repeating rude operations. The advancements will enable the design and development of luminescent organogel-REs as information storage and encryption media for various scenarios.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are emerging pollutants that are likely to occur in the contemporary environment. So far, their combined effects on terrestrial plants have not been thoroughly investigated. Obviously, this subject is a challenge for modern ecotoxicology. In this study, Pisum sativum L. plants were exposed to either CeO2 NPs or ZnO NPs alone, or mixtures of these nano-oxides (at two concentrations: 100 and 200 mg/L). The plants were cultivated in hydroponic system for twelve days. The combined effect of NPs was proved by 1D ANOVA augmented by Tukey's post hoc test at p = 0.95. It affected all major plant growth and photosynthesis parameters. Additionally, HR-CS AAS and ICP-OES were used to determine concentrations of Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca, K, Zn, and Ce in roots and shoots. Treatment of the pea plants with the NPs, either alone or in combination affected the homeostasis of these metals in the plants. CeO2 NPs stimulated the photosynthesis rate, while ZnO NPs prompted stomatal and biochemical limitations. In the mixed ZnO and CeO2 treatments, the latter effects were decreased by CeO2 NPs. These results indicate that free radicals scavenging properties of CeO2 NPs mitigate the toxicity symptoms induced in the plants by ZnO NPs.

Abstract
This Letter describes the realization of long-term optical information storage in glass using an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We show that the photo-oxidation of Eu2+ ions in the glass matrix induced by ultraviolet light suppresses background signals, thereby enhancing by tenfold the SNR of Eu2+ ions photoluminescence (PL) of the dots written by a femtosecond (fs) laser. Thus, smaller dots exhibiting weak PL emission can be detected. In addition, the stored information shows excellent stability under the light irradiation with the power density up to 240W/cm2. Accelerated-aging experiments indicate that the stored data can retain stability for more than 115 years at room temperature. The optical storage capacity is approximately 270Gbitcm-3. This technique enables long-term, high-capacity data storage in glass media.

Abstract
Inorganic glass is a transparent functional material and one of the few materials that keeps leading innovation. In the last decades, inorganic glass was integrated into opto-electronic devices such as optical fibers, semiconductors, solar cells, transparent photovoltaic devices, or photonic crystals and in smart materials applications such as environmental, pharmaceutical, and medical sensors, reinforcing its influence as an essential material and providing potential growth opportunities for the market. Moreover, inorganic glass is the only material that is 100% recyclable and can incorporate other industrial offscourings and/or residues to be used as raw materials. Over time, inorganic glass experienced an extensive range of fabrication techniques, from traditional melting-quenching (with an immense diversity of protocols) to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and wet chemistry routes as sol-gel and solvothermal processes. Additive manufacturing (AM) was recently added to the list. Bulks (3D), thin/thick films (2D), flexible glass (2D), powders (2D), fibers (1D), and nanoparticles (NPs) (0D) are examples of possible inorganic glass architectures able to integrate smart materials and opto-electronic devices, leading to added-value products in a wide range of markets. In this review, selected examples of inorganic glasses in areas such as: (i) magnetic glass materials, (ii) solar cells and transparent photovoltaic devices, (iii) photonic crystal, and (iv) smart materials are presented and discussed.
