Fluorescent sensor has demonstrated to be a facile and effective method to detect heavy metal ions owing to its unique characteristics such as simplicity, ease of operation and cost-effectiveness. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature that contains an amide ligand base on the tetraphenylethylene (TPE) dye was designed and successfully synthesized. The utilization of the AIE-active fluorescent probe (named as FDPA) for detection of Cu 2+ in aqueous solution has also been examined. We demonstrated that the resultant AIE-active molecule displays amphiphilic property and can self-assemble in aqueous solution with remarkable enhancement of fluorescent intensity owing to its AIE feature. The detection limit of probe for Cu 2+ determination is 6.11 × 10 −9 M and shows excellent selectivity in the presence of competitive ions. This work provides a useful route to overcome the fluorescence quenching of conventional fluorescent probes in aqueous solution and an elegant way to prepare fluorescent probes with better fluorescence properties.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion (UC) materials are commonly excited by 700–1000 nm laser because of Yb 3+ (980 nm excitation) and Nd 3+ (808 nm excitation) are typically used as sensitizers. However, the excitation band located in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) demonstrates the deeper penetration in biological tissue with minimum tissue scattering and autofluorescence. Herein, intense red UC emission in Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 particles under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation is presented. Red UC luminescence is significantly enhanced and purified through confining the 1532 nm excitation energy by Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ mediators, via an energy back transfer pathway (Er 3+ → Ho 3+ → Er 3+ and Er 3+ → Tm 3+ → Er 3+ ). Furthermore, when the particles injected into the fresh beef, red UC luminescence can be distinctly observed from the inside of beef under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation, implying the deep penetration of 1532 nm NIR-II excitation and 660 nm red UC emission. Our results suggest that bright red UC luminescence from Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 crystals with 1532 nm NIR-II excitation may be suitable for deep optical imaging .

Selectively enhanced green upconversion (UC) and near-infrared (NIR) downconversion (DC) emissions of Er 3+ by Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer sensitizing have been demonstrated in Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Mn 2+ tri-doped spinel MgGa 2 O 4 upon excitation of 980 nm laser diode (LD). By optimizing the doping rate of Mn 2+ , the intensity ratio of green to red UC emission intensities of Er 3+ (G/R) could be enhanced about 10 times. Meanwhile, the 1.5 μm NIR DC emission could also be increased about 3.6 times in this system. The DC and UC emission properties, UC mechanism, as well as the enhancing mechanism have been investigated and discussed in detail. A selectively enhancing mechanism based on Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer sensitizing is proposed to explain the selectively enhancing phenomena. This work could inspire the design of novel UC materials for various applications, such as temperature sensors and optical transmission, etc.

The exploration of performance luminescence near-infrared (NIR) material is crucial for rapidly developing NIR spectroscopic techniques. Herein, the NIR LaMg 0.5 Sn 0.5 O 3 :Cr 3+ phosphor was synthesized by a high temperature solid-state method. And its luminescence performance were improved by [In 3+ -Sc 3+ ] substituting for [Mg 2+ -Sn 4+ ]. The half-peak width can be expanded to 211 nm, the emission intensity can reach the seven times of that un-substitution, and the emission intensity at 423 K was maintained at 60 % of that at room temperature , moreover, the internal quantum efficiency can reach 54.2 %. On this basis, the phosphor converted light emitting diodes ( pc -LEDs) were achieved by combining La(Mg 1-x Sn 1-x In x Sc x ) 0.5 O 3 :Cr 3+ with blue LED, importantly, it can be applied to the biodetection and night vision lighting, which indicate its application value.

Design of new nanoagents that intrinsically have both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities is highly desirable for personalized medicine. In this work, a novel nanotheranostic agent is fabricated based on polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized Co-P nanocomposites (Co-P@PDA) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided combined photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. The ultrahigh relaxivity of 224.61 m m −1 s −1 can enable Co-P@PDA to be applied as an excellent contrast agent for MRI in vitro and in vivo, providing essential and comprehensive information for tumor clinical diagnosis. Moreover, Co-P@PDA exhibit excellent photothermal performance owing to the strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance of both Co-P nanocomposite and PDA. Highly effective ablation of tumors is achieved in a murine tumor model because the NIR laser not only induces photothermal effects but also triggers the chemotherapeutic drug on-demand release, which endows the Co-P@PDA with high curative effects but little toxicity and few side effects. These findings demonstrate that Co-P@PDA are promising agents for highly effective and precise antitumor treatment and warrant exploration as novel theranostic nanoagents with good potential for future clinical translation.

ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with sizes of between 20 and 65 nm are synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The size of the nanocrystals is affected by different Ga3+ concentrations. The variation in size has influence on the particles' visible blue and red up-conversion (UC) emission. In this paper, X-ray powder diffraction results show different amounts of gallium substituting for Zn in the ZnO lattice. When the concentration of Ga3+ is 3 mol%, the resulting UCNPs exhibit strong UC emission, longer fluorescence lifetime and narrower band gap. Due to their adjustable size and UC fluorescence properties, ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ nanocrystals have broad prospects for future applications in the biomedical field.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are desired for optoelectronic and biomedical applications, while the development of target broadband NIR phosphors still remains a significant challenge. Herein, a kind of Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphors with a broad NIR emission ranging from 650 to 1400 nm under 450 nm excitation are reported. A giant red-shift emission peak from 866 to 1020 nm together with broadened full width at half-maximum of 320 nm is achieved simply by varying the doped Cr 3+ concentrations. Structural and spectroscopy analysis demonstrate that a concentration-dependent site-occupation of Cr 3+ emitters in different Al 3+ sites is responsible for the tunable NIR luminescence. The as-fabricated NIR pc-LED based on optimized AlNbO 4 :Cr 3+ phosphor exhibits great potential in night-vision applications. This work provides a novel design principle on the Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphor with tunable broadband luminescence from NIR-I to NIR-II, and these materials can be employed in NIR spectroscopy applications.

Novel nanoplatform with excellent photothermal conversion and temperature feedback are preferable in clinical photothermal therapy (PTT). In this work, a hybrid of NaYF 4 :Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) conjugated with gold nanorods (GNRs) was fabricated in order to achieve effective photothermal conversion and excellent temperature detection. In this nanoplatform, the GNRs as photo-activated nano-heaters could effectively convert the 808 nm photoenergy into heat, meanwhile UCNPs as 980 nm triggered temperature probe could read the temperature in an exact microdomain where the nanocomposite was located at. The effects of excitation source, GNRs concentration and power density on photothermal conversion were investigated. In addition, the difference between eigen temperature of nanoparticles and solution temperature, and the potential for temperature feedback were analyzed under double lasers excitation. Moreover, the photothermal conversion efficiency was experimentally confirmed from thermodynamic analysis. It was found that the nanocomposite can be an excellent nanoplatform for potential application in advanced PTT.

Monodisperse Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by a one-step rapid injection method in a capillary microreaction system with a short residence time (less than 3 min). Au–Ag alloy NPs possessed homogenous composition that revealed a linear relationship with surface plasmon resonance absorption peak. The optimal size distribution of Au–Ag alloy NPs with a standard deviation of 6% could be obtained from decreasing the molar ratio of Au 3+ :Ag + from 1:10 to 1:20 or enhancing the synthesis temperature from 140 to 160 °C. Transmission electron micrographs showed as-obtained Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles were sphere-like with the smallest average size of only 2.7 nm.

Solid-state fluorescent and phosphorescent carbon dots (CDs) have widespread applications, with difficulties in obtainment. In this study, solid-state carbon dots (SCDs) emitting green, yellow, and orange fluorescence were fabricated using urea and phthalic acid as precursors. The band gap size was systematically controlled by varying the ratio of raw material nitrogen. By changing the temperature during synthesis, the phosphorescent properties of SCDs were adjusted, and the longest lifetime possessed 156.8 ms of orange phosphorescence. CDs were attached to the crystals of phthalimide , allowing a certain spacing between the particles and suppressing the phenomenon of aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ), thus obtaining solid-state fluorescence. Detailed characterization and density flooding theory (DFT) calculations further indicate that the reduction of the conjugation domain leads to the redshift of the solid-state fluorescence. The phosphorescence appearance is attributed to the presence of crystals that inhibit the nonradiative relaxation channels, and N elements that promote spin-orbit coupling interactions. Based on their special luminescent properties, they have been successfully applied in the fabrication of (0.38,0.54), (0.44,0.54) and (0.51, 0.47) light-emitting diodes, as well as in the production of secure anti-counterfeit cryptographic inks and their successful application in digital encryption.
