Advanced anti-counterfeiting labels have aroused an intensive interest in packaging industry to avoid the serious issue of counterfeit. However, the preparation and cost of the existing labels associated with the drawbacks, including the complex and high-cost equipment, limit the protection of the authenticity of goods. Herein, we developed a series of anti-counterfeiting labels based on multicolor upconversion micro-particles (UCMPs) inks via straightforward and low-cost solutions, including spin-coating, stamping and screen printing. The UCMPs were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal process and displayed tunable red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color by doping different lanthanide ions, which are Er3+/Tm3+, Yb3+/Er3+ and Yb3+/Tm3+ in NaYF4 hosts, respectively. The optimal UCMPs inks were deposited on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to obtain transparent anti-counterfeiting labels possessing higher transmittance, stronger upconversion fluorescence intensity and good photostability. Under ambient conditions, the patterns and films were transparent, but could exhibit multicolor light under 980 nm laser excitation. They can be used as anti-counterfeiting labels for die-cutting packages to further elevate the security of goods. The tunable and designable transparent anti-counterfeiting labels based on RGB UCMPs inks exhibit the merits of low-cost, easy-manufacture and versatility, underlying the practical application in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

Well-defined and mono-dispersed lanthanide-ion-doped NaYF4 up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were synthesized via thermal decomposition using lanthanide oleate as the precursor. By rational selecting the dopant pairs of the doped lanthanide ions (Y3+, Yb3+,
Er3+ and Tm3+) with accurate molar ratios, three-primary-color (RGB) UCNPs which exhibited green (UCNPs-G), blue (UCNPs-B) and red (UCNPs-R) fluorescence, respectively, were prepared. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that the three UCNPs were purely hexagonal-phase
NaYF4 crystals. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that the synthesized UCNPs exhibited well-defined nanosphere morphology with uniform size distribution. The average diameters were 23.95±3.35 nm for UCNPs-G, 20.63±2.59 nm for UCNPs-B, and 19.24±2.37
nm for UCNPs-R, respectively. After surface modification employing polyacrylic acid (PAA) as modifier, the obtained UCNPs were converted to be hydrophilic, which can be used as fillers to construct luminescent polymer films and luminescent ink in anti-counterfeiting application.

This article presents an integrated strategy that couples high-efficiency photocatalytic degradation with low-cost, rapid detection to overcome the main drawbacks of conventional TiO2-based photocatalysts, including a weak visible-light response, rapid charge–carrier recombination, and reliance on expensive instrumentation for dye concentration detection. Platinum-decorated TiO2(Pt/TiO2) was prepared by photoreduction deposition, and systematic characterization confirmed the successful loading of zero-valent Pt nanoparticles onto the TiO2surface, significantly improving charge separation and extending absorption into the visible region. Methylene blue degradation was quantified under ultraviolet (UV) and simulated sunlight; radical-scavenging tests clarified the reaction pathway. In parallel, smartphone images of the reaction mixture were processed in ImageJto extract red–green–blue (RGB) values, which were related to dye concentration through a partial least-squares (PLS) model validated against reference UV–Vis data. Pt/TiO2removed 95.0% of methylene blue within 20 min of UV irradiation and 90.2% within 160 min of simulated sunlight—31.8% and 19.1% faster, respectively, than pristine TiO2. The RGB-based PLS model achieved a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.961 for the prediction set. By integrating photocatalysis with smartphone-based colorimetry, the proposed method enables rapid monitoring of organic dyes concentration, providing an intelligent and economical platform for industrial wastewater treatment.

A sensitive and selective method for the colorimetric detection of arsenic (As III ) ions has been demonstrated using glutathione functionalized gold nanoparticles (GSH-AuNPs). When arsenic ions are added to the GSH-AuNPs solution, the binding of arsenic ions with GSH ligands induces the aggregation of AuNPs, resulting in a rapid color change of the solution. With the implementation of a home-developed RGB extracting software, excellent linear correlation has been established between the calculated RGB color values and the arsenic concentrations ( R 2 = 0.99488). The limit of detection (LOD) of arsenic ions is as low as 0.12 ppb. More significantly, the GSH-AuNPs solution shows excellent detection selectivity to other metal ions (Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ , Hg 2+ , and Pb 2+ ). This method could be applied to on-site and real-time fast detection of low level arsenic ions.

The emerging visualization techniques have aroused wide interest for optical information detection and storage. However, they suffer from fairly limited optical information density and poor visual detection performance. Herein, an innovative surface patterning enhanced visualization (SPEV) approach is developed for ultrasensitive naked-eye detection and RGB-based high-density information storage. Through “ship covalently linked in bottle” method, a novel HP-UiO-66-NH 2 -based ratiometric fluorescent (RF) composite probe is fabricated, exhibiting remarkably enhanced CdTe QDs encapsulation efficiency and superior dual-sensing performance for F − and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Then, the novel surface patterned CdTe QDs@HP-UiO-66-NH 2 hydrogel sensor is prepared, emitting multi-stimuli-responsive optical information with significantly improved abundance and dimensionality. The pseudo-color postprocessing of the fluorescence images is performed to convert the analyte-induced imperceptible color variations into easily perceptible color tonality change, resulting in ultra-high sensitivity and excellent accuracy for naked-eye quantitative detection of ALP and F − in human serum. Furthermore, the highly accurate pattern block-based RGB (PB-RGB) assay is demonstrated and the concept of RGB-based 3D patterning codes is presented for highly reliable extraction of quantitative color information and high-density information storage. The SPEV technique provides a universal route to realize instrument-free precise visual quantitative detection, high-density optical information storage, multi-stimuli-responsive encryption, and anti-counterfeiting.

A highly sensitive and selective RGB color analysis for the detection of formaldehyde (FA) was developed by using a DNA functionalized gold nanoparticle (AuNPs-DNA) probe. When complementary oligonucleotides (oligo 2 and oligo 3) and a silver ion (Ag+) were added to the AuNPs-DNA solution, triplex DNA was formed, resulting in the aggregation of AuNPs, and accompanied by a solution color change from red to purple. With the addition of formaldehyde, it reacted with Ag+, decreased the stability of triplex DNA between AuNPs–DNA, induced the dispersion of AuNPs, and the color of AuNPs recovered to red. Therefore, the formaldehyde concentration could be estimated with the RGB (red, green, blue) values of the AuNP solution by using a smartphone application (APP). The R value of the system was proportional to the concentration of formaldehyde within the range of 0.23–4.50 mg L−1, with a detection limit of 0.14 mg L−1. The method has been successfully applied to detect the residues of formaldehyde in vegetable samples and has the potential of the on-site determination of formaldehyde.

RGB tricolor organic pigments were in situ modified by stearyl methacrylate-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-styrene random copolymer [P(SMA-DMA-St)] through solution polymerization. The modified particles were charged in tetrachloroethylene (TCE) with the aid of suitable charge control agent. The structure and electrophoretic property of ink particles were characterized by FTIR, TEM, PALS, et al. P(SMA-DMA-St) modification decreased the particles size and enhanced the suspending stability of the pigments in tetrachloroethylene due to the repulsive forces among the treated pigment particles resulting from the extending polyacrylate chain in the media. Partial crosslinking the P(SMA-DMA-St) on the pigment surface with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) helped to increase the Zeta potential and electrophoresis mobility of RGB electrophoretic particles. The maximum values of the Zeta potential for red, green, and blue electrophoretic particles reached −36.2, −57.7, and −42.7 mV, respectively. The obtained RGB electrophoretic particles could be applied in the color/white dual-particle electronic ink together with charged TiO 2 to show vivid color and white images under a DC electric field. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To better utilize the spectral features of near-infrared and visible light and address issues in traditional suspension particle size detection, such as long measurement cycles, high costs, and complex operation, we propose a new method that combines multispectral sensor characterization technology with machine learning algorithms for rapid particle size measurement. By integrating a lab-designed light source driving circuit and spectral data acquisition device, we obtained 15 spectral data points for visible light, near-infrared, and red–blue–green (RGB) values to build a prediction model. The near-infrared-based model obtained a coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of 0.9130, whereas models combining RGB-near-infrared and visible-near-infrared features performed best, with R 2 values of 0.9670 and 0.9845. These models improved performance by 5.91% and 7.83%, effectively overcoming the limitations of single spectral features in different suspensions. This combination of visible and near-infrared light with machine learning proves effective for detecting average particle size in suspensions.

A facile one-pot method was proposed to synthesis cysteamine capped CdTe QDs with a high quantum yield 30%. In the synthesis process, nitrogen protection, ultrasonic treatment, and light irradiation were unnecessary. Additionally, potassium tellurite was used instead of Te powder as Te source, avoiding of the time-consuming Te powder dissolution process . The prepared QDs were found to be Hg 2+ sensitive. The detection linear range for Hg 2+ was from 5 to 300 nM, and the detection limit was calculated to be 1 nM. The detection mechanism was mainly ascribed to the electron transfer from cysteamine capped QDs to Hg 2+ , resulting in a fluorescence quenching phenomenon. In addition, we developed a portable RGB sensing gadget with the QDs as fluorescence probe for Hg 2+ detection, and the linear range was from 5 to 200 nM. Furthermore, the gadget was applied for Hg 2+ detection in tap water sample. The results showed that the average recoveries in real tap water sample were in the range from 97.2% to 115.3%, which indicated that accuracy and precision were satisfactory for practical application requirements.

To conveniently monitor and remove toxic Hg 2+ and S 2− in food samples, Au Ag quantum-dot nanozyme (Au-Ag@FA QDs) was identified. The strong synergistic effect among folic acid (FA), Ag and Au endowed Au-Ag@FA QDs with superior peroxidase-mimic activity to accelerate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) redox with K m / V max of 0.28 mmol·L −1 /6.40 × 10 −8 mol·L −1 ·s −1 . Trace Hg 2+ or S 2− could selectively alter its peroxidase-like activity and inherent fluorescence performance, with obvious hyperchromic/“turn-on” fluorescent effect for Hg 2+ or hypochromic/“turn-off” one for S 2− . And red-green-blue (RGB) values analyzed from smartphones changed regularly with c Hg 2+ or c S 2− . Under the optimized conditions, Au-Ag@FA QDs were successfully applied for multi-mode UV–vis, fluorescent, and RGB monitoring of Hg 2+ or S 2− in food samples. The detection limits were 7.38 × 10 −7 /5.74 × 10 −8 /4.93 × 10 −6 g·L −1 and 1.99 × 10 −6 /4.48 × 10 −8 /5.79 × 10 −6 g·L −1 respectively. Importantly, over 93.8 % Hg 2+ or 90.5 % S 2− could be removed by simple centrifugal-separation after detection. The selective recognition mechanisms to Hg 2+ and S 2− were also proposed.

Developing efficient strategies to fabricate planar photoluminescence scintillators is of great importance to explore X-ray detectors with new platform. Rare-earth (RE) doped Lu 2 O 3 thin films are successfully fabricated by mild aqueous phase electrochemical deposition on ITO/glass substrates with low-temperature post-annealing treatment. The as-prepared Lu 2 O 3 :RE 3+ (RE = Eu, Tb and Tm) thin films exhibit steerable thickness, high transparency in the visible-NIR range, and low transmittance at UV band mainly due to the oxygen-metal (O 2- -RE 3+ ) charge transfer processes and the 4f-4f transitions of the RE 3+ . The Lu 2 O 3 :RE 3+ thin films emit intense red, green and blue (RGB) photoluminescence, which mainly correspond to the 5 D 0 - 7 F 2 transition of Eu 3+ , 5 D 4 - 7 F 5 transition of Tb 3+ and 1 G 4 - 3 H 6 transition of Tm 3+ respectively. Moreover, the transparent Lu 2 O 3 :RE 3+ thin films also exhibit high sensitivity and linearity luminescence to the X-ray stimulation in a dose rate from 30 to 160 mGy s −1 . This rapid and energy-saving synthesis show high efficiency to fabricate rare-earth doped thin-film with a tunable optical performance for optoelectrical application in the fields of solar light concentrators, agricultural light conversion thin films, biosensors , photodetectors and especially the X-ray detectors.

Materials with two or more fluorescence features under different excitation sources have great potential in optical applications, but luminous materials with three emission characteristics have been largely undeveloped. Here, we report a novel zero-dimensional (0D) organic–inorganic hybrid ((C2H5)4N)2ZrCl6 perovskite with multiple emissions. The zirconium-based perovskite exhibits a red emission around 620 nm, a green emission at 527 nm, and a blue emission around 500 nm. The red and green emissions come from self-trapped excitons (STEs) and the d–d transitions of Zr(IV), respectively, which are caused by distortion of the [ZrCl6]2− octahedra. The blue emission is caused by thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), which is similar to that of Cs2ZrCl6. The absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the red and blue double emission is up to 83% and the PLQY of the green emission is 27%. With different combinations of ((C2H5)4N)2ZrCl6 samples, we achieve a variety of applications, including a two-color luminescent anti-counterfeiting device, a white light-emitting diode (WLED) with a color rendering index (CRI) of 95 and information encryption with different excitations. We also synthesize other hybrid zirconium perovskites with tri-luminescence through a similar method. Our work provides a potential set of excitation-dependent luminescent materials and is expected to expand the basic research and practical applications of multi-luminescence materials.
