A negatively charged polypeptide nanogel, near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye (Cy5.5) conjugated and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMA) modified poly- l -lysine-co- l -cystine (CDPLC), is synthesized and is used as an imaging-guided sequential drug delivery system. The CDPLC nanogel can respond to two general stimulations in sequence: extracellular tumor acidic microenvironment pHe (6.8–6.5) and intracellular high concentration glutathione (GSH). Under pHe, the DMA shell of the nanogel is removed and a charge reversal takes place, resulting in positively charged nanogel which can be internalized by cancer cells easily. Once internalized into tumor cells, the increased intracellular GSH concentration further promotes DOX release from the nanogel and DOX is enriched to the nucleus. Cy5.5 is conjugated to the nanogel as an NIR fluorescent probe, making it possible for imaging-guided drug delivery, which is confirmed by the MTT and confocal laser scanning microscopy via in vitro experiments. The as-prepared nanogel is a potential theranostic for cancer therapy.

Few-layer black phosphorus (FL-BP) shows great potential in infrared polarization-sensitive photodetection due to its narrow bandgap and strong in-plane anisotropy. However, FL-BP is easy to be oxidized and degraded, which severely restricts its applications. Herein, a simple and scalable in situ interfacial passivation method based on pentacene film is reported to enhance the ambient stability of FL-BP as well as achieve n-type doping for improved polarization-sensitive photoimaging. High crystal quality FL-BP flakes with intrinsic anisotropy are prepared by electrochemical exfoliation. The morphology and Raman spectra of FL-BP/pentacene exhibit excellent stability 28 days after passivation. In addition, the hole mobility is significantly enhanced and dark current is substantially suppressed due to the interfacial passivation and n-type doping effect. The FL-BP/Pentacene based photodetector shows a broadband response from visible to near-infrared with good stability. The photoresponsivity under 915 nm illumination is calculated as 2.2 mA W −1 with an anisotropy ratio of 1.29. Furthermore, the polarization imaging under the irradiation at zigzag and armchair directions directly reveals the strong infrared polarization-sensitive imaging capability of FL-BP/pentacene. This work also opens up new avenues to enhance the photoresponse and stability of various optoelectronics based on similarly unstable 2D materials.

A novel mesoporous nanosphere functionalized with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 2-(5-bromothiophen)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (5-Br-Tip) was synthesized (denoted as Tip-MSS). With the coordinating function of the 5-Br-Tip to lanthanide (Ln) ions, for the first time, LnL3(5-Br-Tip) complexes were linked to the mesoporous nanospheres. The derived materials, named Ln-Tip-MSS (Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Nd, Yb), were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, TEM, XRD (wide-angle and small-angle), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation in the ligand absorption, the Ln-Tip-MSS nanomaterials show characteristic visible (Eu, Tb, Sm) and NIR (Sm, Nd, Yb) luminescence (multicolor emission covered from 450 nm to 1400 nm spectral region). Of importance is that, with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility given by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, the Eu-Tip-MSS was successfully applied to cell imaging in vitro based on the Eu3+ luminescence (under 405 nm excitation).

Here, near-infrared broad dual-band emission phosphors were achieved through energy transfer between Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions in the β-Ga2O3 host. All samples co-doped with Cr3+ and Ni2+ exhibit dual-band emission covering 600–1700 nm under 430 nm excitation. Thanks to the doping of Cr3+ ions, the emission intensity of Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ phosphors has increased by about 2.4 times and the internal quantum efficiency has increased by 83.2% compared to Ga2O3:Ni2+ phosphors. Meanwhile, when the fluorescence lifetime was monitored at 745 nm, an efficient energy transfer between Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions in the β-Ga2O3 host was verified. Due to the significant differences in the emission temperature-sensitive properties of Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions, a thermometer was designed utilizing fluorescence intensity ratio technology, achieving a maximum relative sensitivity of 5.26% K–1, which surpasses most optical temperature measurement phosphors. This suggests that Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ samples hold promise as potential candidates for optical thermometer materials. Additionally, the broadband near-infrared emission of the Ga2O3:Cr3+, Ni2+ sample has been investigated for potential applications in component analysis and night vision, demonstrating its versatility for multifunctional applications.
