Near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) luminescent materials are essential for NIR spectroscopy applications, including biometrics, night vision imaging, and chemical composition analysis. However, achieving thermally stable and ultra-broadband emission under ultraviolet-to-visible (UV–Vis) excitation remains a significant challenge. In this work, a high-efficiency NIR-II phosphor was reported by codoping Cr³⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions into the LiGaSiO₄ lattice, where Cr³⁺ serves as a sensitizer and Ni²⁺ acts as the primary emitter. Owing to the strong absorption of Cr³⁺ in the violet region and its efficient energy transfer to Ni²⁺, the LiGaSiO₄:Cr³⁺/Ni²⁺ phosphor exhibits intense NIR-II emission under 419 nm excitation, with a peak centered at 1250 nm and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 227 nm. The material also demonstrates excellent thermal stability, retaining 73.3 % of its luminescence intensity at 393 K. Using a commercial 405 nm LED as the excitation source and a custom-engineered NIR-II spectroscopic detection platform, this phosphor enables functional group-specific differentiation of organic solvents and facilitates quantitative analysis of ethanol–water and NaCl–water binary systems across a broad concentration range. These findings highlight the potential of LiGaSiO₄:Cr 3+ /Ni 2+ as a robust NIR-II probe for next-generation portable sensing technologies, paving the way for the practical deployment of NIR-II photonics systems in industrial and biomedical applications.

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is an advanced physical therapy used to kill primary cancer cells and inhibit the growth of distant metastatic cancer cells. However, challenges remain because RIT generally has low efficacy and serious side effects, and its effects are difficult to monitor in vivo. This work reports that Au/Ag nanorods (NRs) enhance the effectiveness of RIT against cancer while allowing the therapeutic response to be monitored using activatable photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm). The Au/Ag NRs can be etched using high-energy X-ray to release silver ions (Ag + ), which promotes dendritic cell (DC) maturation, enhances T-cell activation and infiltration, and effectively inhibits primary and distant metastatic tumor growth. The survival time of metastatic tumor-bearing mice treated with Au/Ag NR-enhanced RIT is 39 days compared with 23 days in the PBS control group. Furthermore, the surface plasmon absorption intensity at 1040 nm increases fourfold after Ag + are released from the Au/Ag NRs, allowing X-ray activatable NIR-II PA imaging to monitor the RIT response with a high signal-to-background ratio of 24.4. Au/Ag NR-based RIT has minimal side effects and shows great promise for precise cancer RIT.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a form of breast cancer that is more aggressive and harder to treat than others, with a higher probability of relapse. Its nefarious capabilities for migrating and invading other parts of the body together with the current lack of clinically established effective therapies account for a low survival rate. In this work, we demonstrate the in-tandem use of two complementary therapeutic routes to effectively combat TNBC. A versatile magnetic-photothermal converter (MPC) consisting of zinc-doped ferrite nanoparticles and polyethene glycol, is shown to display excellent therapeutic efficiency, being capable to fight TNBC via two distinct routes: magneto-mechanical force (MMF) and near-infrared-II (NIR-II) hypothermal ablation. The combined use of these two complementary and synergistic therapies, which are less aggressive to the human body compared to conventional chemotherapeutic approaches, results in the splendid suppression of TNBC migration and invasion. Remotely controlling the MPCs by an external magnetic field , results in cellular MMF effects that cause direct mechanical destruction to the cancer cell membrane , leading to its necrosis. Furthermore, the MMF disrupts intracellular lysosomes , thereby triggering the release of large amounts of protein hydrolases , which induce intracellular oxidative stress , and accelerate the induction of apoptosis. Complementing the therapeutic approach based on MMF, the excellent photothermal performance of the MPC in the NIR-II region (1064 nm) is exploited to enable effective hypothermal ablation of the tumours, which can be achieved in deep tissue layers. The proposed multifunctional nanocomposites , together with the demonstrated “double-punch” therapeutic approach, hold significant potential to pave the way for future cutting-edge weapons against the dreadful TNBC.

The efficacy of single-modal chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is often restricted by the antioxidant scavenging of overexpressed glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and insufficient catalytic kinetics. Meanwhile, traditional photothermal therapy (PTT) also faces bottlenecks of a single therapeutic mechanism and low photothermal conversion efficiency, leading to unsatisfactory overall anti-tumor outcomes. To address these challenges, we constructed a smart-responsive, core-shell multifunctional nanotheranostic platform for near-infrared-II (NIR-II) photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided synergistic PTT/CDT. This platform utilizes copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS) as the photothermal core, conformally coated in situ with an Fe-tannic acid (TF) metal-phenolic network (MPN) shell (CuS@TF). In the mildly acidic TME, the TF shell dissociates to expose Fe/Cu bimetallic catalytic centers possessing excellent intrinsic peroxidase-like and catalase-like activities. Driven by the synergistic reduction of endogenous GSH and tannic acid, CuS@TF not only effectively depletes antioxidant GSH but also efficiently modulates H 2 O 2 metabolism, triggering a cascade burst of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Furthermore, under 1064 nm laser irradiation, the highly efficient localized hyperthermia generated by the CuS core not only directly ablates the tumor but also thermodynamically boosts the catalytic kinetics of the nanozymes, achieving profound PTT-sensitized CDT. Systematic in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that, under the precise navigation of PA imaging, CuS@TF exhibits remarkable tumor eradication efficacy (with a tumor inhibition rate of ~ 96.2%) and excellent in vivo biosafety. This work provides a novel design paradigm for the development of precise synergistic tumor theranostics based on multifunctional nanozymes. Graphical

In this work, a unique lysosome-targeted BODIPY photosensitizer named BOP-Lyso was designed for photodynamic therapy of cancer cells. The absorption wavelength of BOP-Lyso (10 μM) was located at 650 nm and its molar absorption coefficient was 8.2 × 10 4 cm −1 M −1 . The emission wavelength of BOP-Lyso was at 709 nm. Photosensitizer BOP-Lyso showed excellent ability to produce singlet oxygen and the singlet oxygen yield of photosensitizer BOP-Lyso was calculated to be 43.1% using methylene blue as the reference with near-infrared led light irradiation (660 nm). From MTT (a common method for determining cell survival rate, MTT: 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide) assay, BOP-Lyso had extremely low dark toxicity (cell viability > 85%) and high photo toxicity. And the IC 50 value of BOP-Lyso was 0.24 μM, which was much lower than the previously reported literature. Besides that, DCFH-DA (2′,7′-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) was employed to capture the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PDT process. Lysosomal colocalization experiments demonstrated that photosensitizer BOP-Lyso had good co-localization capability and the colocalization coefficient was calculated to be 0.92. Furthermore, photosensitizer BOP-Lyso had also been successfully applied to AO/EB cell staining experiments and exhibited excellent results. Moreover, cancer cells (SGC-7901 cells, human gastric carcinoma cells) migration status could be effectively inhibited after NIR led light irradiation with BOP-Lyso. On the whole, taking the above series of data into account, photosensitizer BOP-Lyso would play an important role in actual PDT of cancer cells.

The light harvesting property of organic photocatalysts relays on the conjugated framework and its circumjacent chemical circumstances. Herein, a step-by-step modified method is practiced to graft abundant hydroxy group on pyridine doping carbon nitride (PyCNS-x), which synchronously regulates the π-π* and n-π* transitions for wide-spectrum responsive. Beforehand, the pyridine is doped into the conjugated framework for the modification of conjugated structure. More operable carbon sites are formed, which are favorable in thermodynamics for the graft of hydroxy group. The high-temperature redox process not only induces the graft of abundant hydroxy group on pyridine doping carbon nitride. But also, an ultrathin nanosheet is formed for the acquisition of large specific surface area. Related measurements manifest that the sheet thickness of PyCNS-80 is 4 nm. Spectral tests confirm that the light response range of PyCNS-80 is up to near-infrared region. Moreover, there is a strong n-π* transition occurrence in PyCNS-80 that further enhances the light absorption from 500 nm to 750 nm. Finally, the hydrogen evolution activity of PyCNS-80 is up to 1887.7 μmol g −1 h −1 and exhibits a detectable number of 9.0 μmol g −1 h −1 under infrared light. Briefly, this work demonstrates a reference to deeply optimize the electron transition behaviors of organic photocatalyst by designing their chemical structure.

Human activities, ranging from medical applications to space exploration, face significant threats from multiband electromagnetic radiation. This challenge is particularly pronounced in the complex radiation environments of space. There is an urgent need for high-efficiency, stable broadband electromagnetic shielding materials to safeguard human health and equipment safety. Herein, a Bi-modified W 18 O 49 /MWCNTs/PAN hybrid nanofiber membrane is successfully prepared by electrospinning and post-treatment. Relying on the synergistic effect of Bi, W 18 O 49 , MWCNTs, and porous structures, excellent broadband radiation protection capability is achieved: (i) Low near-infrared-visible-light (NIR-VIS) transmittance (0.62 %); (ii) Ultraviolet (UV) transmittance of only 0.012 % and UPF value as high as 2000; (iii) Mass attenuation coefficient up to 16.18 cm 2 g −1 and attenuation ratio of 85.74 % (thickness: 4 mm) at 33 keV X-ray energy. Furthermore, porous structure and high specific surface area give the membrane ultralight density (0.36 g cm −3 ), flexibility, and outstanding air permeability (8.5 kg m −2 d −1 ). Even after 2000 bends, it still maintains stable structure and performance. Meanwhile, low thermal conductivity (42.2 mW m −1 K −1 ) and superior temperature resistance (300 °C) enable it to adapt to complex and changing environments. These advantages make the membrane highly promising for radiation protection in medical, industrial, and aerospace applications.

Lead-free perovskites are considered to be candidates for next-generation photodetectors, because of their excellent charge carrier transport properties and low toxicity. However, their application in integrated circuits is hindered by their inadequate performance and size restrictions. To aim at the development of lead-free perovskite-integrated optoelectronic devices, a CsAg2I3/silicon (CAI/Si) heterojunction is presented in this work by using a spatial confinement growth method, where the in-plane growth of CAI microbelts with high-quality single-crystal characteristics is primarily dependent on the concentration of surrounding precursor solution. The fabricated photodetectors based on the CAI/Si heterojunctions exhibit a broad-spectrum detection capability in the ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared (UV-vis-NIR) range. In addition, the photodetectors show good photoelectric detection performance, including a maximum responsivity of 48.5 mA/W and detectivity of 1.13 × 1011 Jones, respectively. Besides, the photodetectors have a rapid response of 6.5/224 μs and good air stability for over 2 months. This work contributes a new idea to design next-generation optoelectronic devices with high integration density.

Early diagnosis and treatment of cancer are key problems for effective cancer therapy. Therefore, the development of multifunctional materials that can integrate imaging and therapeutic functions is of great importance. Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles@metal-organic frameworks (Ln-NPs@MOFs) offer an unprecedented opportunity to address this challenge, by combining the imaging capabilities of rare earth-doped nanoparticles with the photosensitizing properties of MOFs for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, we report a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive nanoparticle based on a zirconium-porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) for synergistic photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) that constitutes the MOF framework serves as a natural photosensitizer, enabling efficient photodynamic therapy through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The dye indocyanine green (ICG) was loaded into the MOF pores to sensitize the Ln nanoparticles, enhancing the upconversion fluorescence by 41 times and the downconversion fluorescence by 5 times, which is beneficial to the biological efficacy for imaging diagnosis. Meanwhile, ICG, a traditional photothermal agent, also imparts photothermal therapy capabilities to the system. Furthermore, the encapsulation of cancer cell membranes not only enhances biocompatibility but also improves the material's targeting towards cancer cells, thereby greatly enhancing the therapeutic effect. This dual-functional material provides a promising platform for the integration of cancer diagnosis and therapy.

The development of highly efficient near-infrared-II (NIR-II) emission phosphors is crucial for advancing compact light sources and their emerging applications. However, the discovery of target phosphors remains a major challenge. Herein, a high-efficiency apatite phosphor, Ba10(PO4)6F2:Mn5+, peaking at 1171 nm with a full width at half-maximum of 11 nm, is synthesized under an oxygen atmosphere. Benefiting from the crystallographic site confinement and oxygen partial pressure control in stabilizing pentavalent manganese, the phosphor exhibits a record internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 84.2% and external QE of 56%, alongside good thermal stability. By combining Ba10(PO4)6F2:Mn5+ with a red light-emitting diode (LED) chip, a phosphor-converted compact LED with an NIR-II output power of 40.86 mW at 300 mA and a high photoelectric conversion efficiency of 6.82% is presented, demonstrating applications in nondestructive testing, etc. Furthermore, the different temperature-dependent behaviors of the zero-phonon line emission (1171 nm) and vibrational sidebands (1224/1289 nm) of Mn5+ in Ba10(PO4)6F2:Mn5+ enable the fabrication of a high-efficiency fluorescence intensity ratio optical fiber temperature sensor, exhibiting a maximum relative sensitivity value of 0.518% K–1 at 373 K. This work offers some insights into Mn5+-activated high-efficiency NIR-II emission phosphors and their potential for temperature sensing and compact light source applications.

Broadband near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are considered to be at the forefront of the development of next-generation NIR light sources. However, the performance of NIR pc-LEDs is severely limited due to the narrow band emission, low quantum efficiency, and thermal quenching of NIR-emitting materials. Herein, an efficient and thermally stable broadband NIR LaMgGa11O19:Cr3+,Yb3+ (LMG:Cr3+,Yb3+) phosphor has been successfully designed by [Cr3+–Yb3+] co-doping. The broadband emission phenomenon of LaMgGa11O19:Cr3+ was confirmed to be due to selective lattice occupancy of Cr3+ ions based on the analysis of crystal structures, crystal field calculations, and fluorescence lifetimes. The NIR emission spectra in the range of 1000–1200 nm were enriched by using the highly efficient energy transfer of Cr3+ → Yb3+ ions and the energy transfer mechanism is discussed in detail. The prepared LMG:Cr3+,Yb3+ phosphors exhibit highly efficient ultra-broadband NIR emission from 650 to 1200 nm under 440 nm excitation with high internal and external quantum efficiencies of 94.2%/40.5% and excellent luminescence thermal stability of 89.3%@373 K. A NIR pc-LED prototype was fabricated by combining the optimized phosphor with a commercial 440 nm blue LED chip, providing 84.5 mW NIR output power at a 350 mA driving current. Finally, the potential applications of the phosphor in night vision lighting and non-destructive testing were demonstrated. The results show that this work is expected to provide a new strategy for efficient ultra-broadband NIR phosphor design.

The efficient utilization of solar light with UV–Vis-NIR spectrum in photocatalytic hydrogen process is a great confusion to explore, towards achieving high-efficient solar-to-fuel conversion. Herein, we firstly endow CdS a full-spectrum photocatalytic H 2 ability by coupling with a full-spectrum absorption material Cs 0.33 WO 3 (CWO). The CWO/CdS photocatalyst reveals the full spectrum photocatalytic ability to produce H 2 of 2648 μmol g −1 h −1 under the full spectrum, 708 μmol g −1 h −1 under visible light, which is 10 times as high as that of pure CdS nanoparticles under visible light, and 16 μmol g −1 h −1 under NIR spectrum (λ > 800 nm). Meanwhile, the composite selectively utilizes solar light: 708 μmol g −1 h −1 under λ > 420 nm and 25 μmol g −1 h −1 under >520 nm, demonstrating the main functional region of visible light is at 400–520 nm, supported by the down and up conversion of the PL analysis. By combining with the analysis, the excellent activity of hydrogen evolution is attributed to the synergistic effect of a z-scheme heterojunction and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of CWO. This work has put forward a novel Z-scheme heterostructure for constructing high-efficient photocatalyst towards providing a new heterostructure combination and opens an insight on the usage of different solar region.
