Near-infrared (NIR) mechanoluminescence (ML) holds significant promise for in vivo biomechanical detection and imaging due to its self-powered excitation and self-recovery capabilities. However, its broader application remains constrained by the limited availability of suitable ML materials and the narrow spectral range of NIR emission. In this study, we report the Y 3 Ga 5 O 12 (YGO): Cr 3+ , Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ /polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) NIR-ML composite with broadband NIR emission tunable from 600 to 1100 nm, covering both the NIR-I and NIR-II windows. The ML of composite device is driven by an interfacial triboelectric effect arising from the mechanical interaction between the inorganic particles and the polymer matrix. Comparative studies on photon penetration through biological tissues reveal that co-doping with Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ markedly enhances tissue penetration depth. Specifically, the luminescence decay rate in biological tissues is reduced by 20.8% relative to Cr 3+ single doping, indicating improved optical persistence and signal transmission. These findings demonstrate the potential of full-spectrum NIR-ML devices for high-resolution, deep-tissue biomechanical sensing and imaging. This work provides a generalizable design strategy for the development of broadband NIR-ML materials tailored for in vivo mechanical diagnostics.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) has been considered as a smart light source for NIR spectroscopy applications, leading to a growing need of developing broadband NIR phosphors. Herein, a new composition Zn 4 InSbO 8 :Cr 3+ phosphor with classical spinel-type structure was synthesized, which emits a broadband NIR light covering a region of 700–1200 nm with a peak centered at 860 nm under 460 nm excitation. The sample with an optimized Cr 3+ concentration possesses a full width at half maximum (FWHM) as broad as 180 nm mainly ascribing to multi crystallographic sites occupation. Moreover, the absorption efficiency (AE), internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and thermal stability were investigated to estimate the practicality. The relatively long-wavelength NIR emission produced by Cr 3+ in this spinel make it suitable for multi-functional applications. Finally, the asprepared phosphor combining with blue LED chip is used to fabricate a prototype NIR pc-LED, giving a NIR output power of 4.8 mW under 100 mA forward bias current with a photoelectric efficiency of 1.63%, showcasing the potential use of this material as a luminescent converter in the application of NIR pc-LEDs.

The swift progress in portable spectrometer technology has fostered a widespread need for compact light sources. Concurrently, near-infrared phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs), characterized by their low cost and compact structure, emerge as an optimal choice. Inspired by phase optimization through fluxes, we successfully synthesized pure phase Lu 3 Mg 2 GaSi 2 O 12 (LMGS):Cr 3+ , 3 wt%MgF 2 luminescent materials by incorporating various fluxes including LiF, NaF, MgF 2 , CaF 2 , SrF 2 and BaF 2 . These materials emit broadband NIR light ranging from 620 nm to 1150 nm, with full width at half-maximums (FWHMs) exceeding 125 nm. By employing a dual-fluxes strategy to further enhance the luminescence intensity of Cr 3+ , the LMGS:3%Cr 3+ , 1 wt%NaF, 2 wt%MgF 2 sample exhibits a 2.45 times increase in emission intensity compared to the LMGS:3%Cr 3+ , 3 wt%MgF 2 sample. Concurrently, the quantum efficiency rises from 24 % to 46 %. Moreover, the integrated emission intensity of LMGS:3%Cr 3+ , 1 wt%NaF, 2 wt%MgF 2 retains at 75 %@425 K of its value at RT. Upon coupled with a 430 nm LED chip, the luminescent material exhibits an NIR output power of 43.8 mW@300 mA, indicating promising applications in rapid night identification, night vision and non-destructive testing.

Broadband near-infrared light (NIR) near 800 nm has broad application prospects in food detection and night vision monitoring. Compared with NIR chips, NIR phosphors have distinct advantages, including low cost, a mature synthesis process, and tunable combination. However, at present, oxide NIR phosphors have some disadvantages, such as a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM), poor thermal stability, and low photoelectric efficiency. Herein, K 3 ScF 6 :Cr 3+ NIR phosphors with a cubic structure were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. These phosphors can be effectively excited by blue light (430 nm) and red light (630 nm), leading to a broadband Cr 3+ emission from 650 nm to 950 nm with a large FWHM of 430 nm. They also exhibit excellent thermal stability and retain 87.3% of their initial intensity at 150 °C. Under a driving current of 100 mA, their photoelectric efficiency can reach 9.315% of that of fabricated NIR light-emitting diodes (NIR-LED). An NIR-LED device based on this phosphor can thus be implemented in night vision imaging systems.

The near-infrared phosphor converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs) have been broadly used in the fields of night vision, biomedicine, nondestructive testing and food analysis. Over the past few years, many Cr 3+ doped NIR phosphorus has been reported. However, the realization of ultra-broad band NIR emission with high quantum efficiency remains a great challenge. Here, we report an ultra-broadband NIR emitting phosphor Li 3 Sc 1.92 (PO 4 ) 3 :0.08Cr 3+ with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 240 nm. The reason for the ultra-broad emission band is that the host Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 provides two different kinds of ScO6 octahedral sites for Cr 3+ ions to occupy. This FWHM is better than most NIR emitting phosphors reported so far. Our research indicates that Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Cr 3+ phosphors have great potential in night vision and NIR spectroscopy .

Broadband near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy generated from a phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) has multifunctional applications, including food-quality analysis, bio-medical and night-vision, stimulating the demand for developing various NIR phosphors with desired properties. Herein, we selected a highly distorted garnet Ca4HfGe3O12 as the host and explored the near-infrared luminescence of Cr3+. As expected, this material achieved a long-wavelength NIR emission and excellent absorption efficiency based on the effect of Jahn–Teller distortion. The synthesized Ca4HfGe3O12:Cr3+ phosphor exhibits a broadband NIR emission peaking at 840 nm with a full width at half maximum of 150 nm, and the absorption efficiency reaches 48.0%. However, the internal quantum efficiency of the 6 mol% Cr3+-doped sample was measured to be only 35.3% and the integral emission intensity at 373 K kept only 60.1% of the initial intensity. The possible reasons for the unsatisfactory internal quantum efficiency and thermal stability were systematically analyzed, which provided a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the crystal structure and the luminescent properties of Cr3+-activated garnet-type phosphors. Nevertheless, the as-prepared NIR pc-LED device exhibits a NIR output of 16.52 mW with a NIR photoelectric conversion efficiency of 5.92% driven by 100 mA current, indicating the potential of this material for application in NIR pc-LED.

Plant factory, a new agricultural planting technology, has emerged and rapidly grown in recent years, with phosphor conversion light emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) considered as the first choice of source light for the plant factory. In this study, a new type of Cr 3+ -activated Li 2 MgTi 3 O 8 phosphor (LMT: Cr 3+ ) was synthesized by high temperature solid state method. X-Ray diffraction patterns showed that there was no detectable impurity in these samples. The photoluminescence spectra revealed that this phosphor can emit far-red light with the peak at 740 nm excited by ultraviolet and blue light, overlapped well with the P FR . After introducing Zn 2+ ions (LMT: Cr 3+ , Zn 2+ ), the luminescence intensity increases by 46% mainly due to the increase of lattice distortion, and internal quantum yield was improved from 25.4% to 41.3% under 365 nm excitation. Finally, the pc-LED devices, consisting of 470 nm chip coated with the optimal phosphor, exhibited good luminescence and overlapping with P FR . These results indicate that the LMT: Cr 3+ , Zn 2+ phosphor has the potential application in modern agriculture.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy based on phosphor-converted light-emitting-diode (pc-LED) has promising applications in food quality analysis, security monitoring, medical diagnosis, and bioimaging fields, stimulating the demand of developing NIR phosphors with high-performance. Herein, a highly efficient and thermally robust Ca 3 MgHfGe 3 O 12 :Cr 3+ NIR phosphor is discovered, which exhibits a broadband NIR emission (λ em = 800 nm) covering 700 to 1100 nm region with an internal quantum efficiency as high as 90.7% when excited by 460 nm blue light. Moreover, the emission intensity at 423 K retains 84.5% of that at room temperature. The highly efficient and thermally robust luminescence of this material is mainly ascribed to the ultrawide bandgap of host, extremely weak electron–photon coupling effect, defect-free, and highly structural rigidity. The NIR pc-LED device fabricated by using the optimized Ca 3 Mg 0.97 Hf 0.97 Ge 3 O 12 :0.06Cr 3+ phosphor combined with blue (λ em = 455 nm) LED chip produces an excellent NIR output power of 49.5 mW @ 11.5% under a driving current of 150 mA, which indicates a superiority to the device fabricated by using the well-known efficient ScBO 3 :Cr 3+ phosphor under the same condition. Therefore, this work not only provides a promising broadband NIR material, but also highlights the design rules for searching high-performance NIR materials toward spectroscopy applications.

Driven by the demand for miniaturized broadband near-infrared (NIR) light sources, considerable effort has been dedicated to developing Cr3+-activated phosphors. However, in many cases, the multivalent nature of the Cr ion is adverse to achieving highly efficient emission of Cr3+. Herein, strategic Li+ co-doping was employed to boost the NIR emission of BaGe4O9:Cr3+. In the phosphor, Li+ ions play a pivotal role in the distribution of Cr3+ on the two octahedral sites and the elimination of Cr4+ and crystal defects, leading to a 42.9-fold enhancement of Cr3+ emission. The obtained BaGe4O9:Cr3+,Li+ exhibited broadband emission centered at 808 nm, with an FWHM of 177 nm and an internal quantum efficiency of 61.3%. A fabricated pc-LED device utilizing the phosphor showcased an NIR radiant flux of 24.8 mW and a photoelectric efficiency of 8.9% at 100 mA. Furthermore, the application of the pc-LED in bio-imaging, night vision and information encryption was successfully demonstrated.

Blue light-emitting diode (LED) pumped short-wave infrared (SWIR; 900–1700 nm) emitters are providing new solutions in the design of portable and cost-effective infrared light sources for medical, surveillance, and spectroscopy applications by taking advantage of converter technology. However, desirable blue-light-excitable SWIR-emitting phosphors with a peak wavelength longer than 1000 nm are lacking. Herein, a promising broadband SWIR phosphor is designed and developed by incorporating Cr 3+ -Ni 2+ ion pairs into LiMgPO 4 host. Upon 450 nm blue light excitation, the as-synthesized LiMgPO 4 :Cr 3+ ,Ni 2+ phosphor exhibits a broad and intense SWIR emission spanning from 1100–1600 nm with peak wavelength at 1380 nm and a full width at half maximum of 273 nm due to the efficient energy transfer from Cr 3+ to Ni 2+ . Moreover, phosphor-converted SWIR LED prototype device based on the combination of 450 nm blue LED chip and the optimized phosphor is fabricated as a new type of broadband illuminator covering the SWIR waveband, delivering a maximum radiant power of ≈2.7 mW at 120 mA driving current. Benefiting from the distinct spectral characteristics of SWIR light, the practical relevance of the fabricated SWIR illuminator is demonstrated in covert information identification and night vision lighting.

Compact broadband near-infrared (NIR) light sources generated by phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) have attracted considerable interest in emerging smart NIR spectroscopy applications. However, discovering a highly efficient and thermally stable broadband NIR phosphor still remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a new efficient garnet phosphor, Gd3In2Ga3O12:Cr3+, which has a broadband emission peaking at 780 nm with a full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 124 nm. The optimized Cr3+-doping concentration of this material is particularly high (9 mol%), resulting in a high quantum yield and absorption efficiency of 85.3% and 49.1%, respectively. Moreover, 87.7% of the initial emission intensity can be retained when heating up to 150 °C, demonstrating the excellent thermal stability of this material. Fabricating a prototype NIR device by using the as-prepared material in combination with a blue LED chip, an excellent NIR output power (33.7 mW) with a NIR photoelectronic conversion efficiency of 12.0% can be achieved under a 100 mA driving current. These results indicate that the Gd3In2Ga3O12:Cr3+ phosphor may have great potential for broadband NIR pc-LED applications.
