Immunochromatography is a commonly used immediate detection technique, using signal labels to generate detection signals for rapid medical diagnosis. However, its detection sensitivity is affected by background fluorescence caused by the excitation light source. We have developed an immunochromatographic test strip using Zn2GeO4:Mn2+ (ZGM) persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) for immediate fluorescence detection and highly sensitive persistent luminescence (PersL) detection without background fluorescence interference. ZGM emits a strong green light when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) excitation, and its green PersL can persist for over 30 min after the excitation light is turned off. We modified the surface of ZGM with heparin-binding protein (HBP) antibodies to create immunochromatographic test strips for the detection of HBP as the target analyte. Under UV excitation, the chromatography test paper can be visually observed at concentrations as low as 25 ng/mL. After the excitation light source is switched off, PersL can achieve a detection limit of 4.7 ng/mL without background interference. This dual-mode immunochromatographic detection, based on ZGM, shows great potential for in vitro diagnostic applications.

A series of Er 3+ /Eu 2+ -activated SrS/SrZnSO with different Er 3+ /Eu 2+ concentrations were synthesized at 1300℃ for 3 h through high temperature solid-state reaction, and their persistence luminescence and mechanoluminescence properties were studied. Upon 450 nm laser excitation, SrS/SrZnSO:Er 3+ /Eu 2+ emitted orange-red light, which could be observed with the naked eyes. When the laser was removed, it showed long afterglow orange-red luminescence. The brightness and duration of the long afterglow increase with the increase concentration of Er 3+ /Eu 2+ from x:y = 0.5%:1% to 3%:1%. SrS/SrZnSO:Er 3+ /Eu 2+ was confirmed as an excellent persistent luminescence material since it could continuously emit light for nearly 10 min. Moreover, under pressure stimulation SrS/SrZnSO:Er 3+ /Eu 2+ showed a novel type of mechanoluminescence (ML) with the emitting bright green light which linearly depended on the force. Under the same force of friction, the sample SrS/SrZnSO:Er 3+ /Eu 2+ with Er 3+ /Eu 3 = 1%:0% emitted the strongest ML among prepared samples. Furthermore, the mechanism of mechanoluminescence was studied in details. This study can expand the family of ML materials while promoting the applications of mechanoluminescence materials in damage diagnosis, human-machine interfaces, and pressure sensing. Graphical

Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials have recently evoked considerable interest in the field of biomedicine, but the choices of efficient emitters for NIR PersL phosphors are rather limited. Herein, we report a new class of Fe3+-activated NIR PersL phosphor based on the LiGaO2 host, which exhibits an intense NIR PersL at around 748 nm and possesses an ultra-long PersL time of much longer than 26 h. The optical properties of this phosphor as well as the trapping and de-trapping processes, the trap characteristics, and the underlying PersL mechanism are comprehensively studied by means of photoluminescence (PL), PersL, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), thermoluminescence (TL), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS). It was found that the NIR PersL in this material is closely related to the oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the penetration experiments and cytotoxicity tests of the biological tissue show that this material has great potential for bioimaging applications. Our achievement in the case of nontoxic Fe3+-activated LiGaO2 phosphors lays the foundation for the future design of Cr3+-free PersL phosphors with efficient NIR PersL towards versatile bioapplications.

Persistent luminescent materials are widely used as night-vision and marking materials in various important fields. Although significant achievements have been made in blue and green persistent luminescent (PersL) materials, the research and development of PersL materials in the warm-color region (550–660 nm) are relatively lacking. Only the orange PersL phosphor Y2O2S:Eu3+,Mg2+,Ti4+ (∼610 nm) and deep red PersL phosphor (Ca1−xSrx)S:Eu2+,Tm3+ (∼650 nm) fulfill the demands of commercial applications. However, sulfide phosphors have poor chemical stability and a relatively short persistent duration time. Herein, we report a series of orange PersL materials, (Sr1−xBax)3SiO5:Eu2+,Nb5+, which exhibit a strong PersL emission band at 550–670 nm and a super-long persistent time of more than 20 h at the 0.32 mcd m−2 threshold value after UV radiation. These new orange PersL materials are compared to the commercial warm-color sulfide PersL phosphor, Y2O2S:Eu,Mg,Ti, with regards to PersL time and brightness, and it is determined that they would have great potential applications.

Trivalent terbium-doped oxycarbonate (La2O2CO3:1%Tb3+) one-dimensional nanorods are synthesized via a facile precipitation method. The average length of La2O2CO3:1%Tb3+ nanorods is 184.5 nm. Doping Tb3+ ions led to several visible emission peaks at 486 nm, 542 nm, and 587 nm under excitation of 258 nm wavelength light. The green afterglow at 542 nm can be detected almost 600 s after ceasing the UV-light irradiation. It can be calculated that the La2O2CO3:1%Tb3+ sample has one shallow trap depth (E = 0.848 eV) by measuring the thermoluminescence. All the results indicate that a simple precipitation method can synthesize a one-dimensional nanorod with green persistent luminescence.

Organic persistent luminescence is usually emitted from synthesized materials containing π units (aromatic rings, double bonds, etc.). It is challenging but desirable to develop organic materials from renewable resources with tunable persistent luminescence to reduce environmental impact. Herein, we proposed an effective method to enhance the luminescence of cellulose, the most abundant natural renewable material free of π units. It was found that removing the crystal water in cellulose would increase the compactness of molecular packing and stabilize the hydroxyl clusters of polysaccharide chains, consequently leading to significant enhancement of phosphorescence with lifetime up to subseconds. This dehydration induced luminescence enhancement was found in not only purified cellulose but also cellulose-contained substances such as papers, cottons, and many other plant tissues. This indicated easier access to cellulose-based luminescence materials without chemical purification. In addition, label-free time-resolved luminescence imaging of plant tissues was achieved on a smartphone-based apparatus, since endogenous cellulose is distributed extensively in plants. Compared with synthetical luminophores, cellulose is a renewable and biodegradable source abundant in nature, not only readily available but also environmentally friendly. We believe this method may be used to develop other sustainable organic luminescence materials with a lack of π units for various optical applications.

ZnGa 2 O 4 (ZGO) persistent luminescence (PersL) ceramics doped with different concentrations of Cr 3+ were prepared by the co-precipitation method and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-treatment. After HIP post-treatment, the ZGO PersL ceramics was significantly improved from opaque to transparent visual appearance due to the elimination of micro-pores during HIP process. The effects of Cr 3+ concentration on the morphology, transmittance and PersL properties of ZGO PersL ceramics were systematically investigated. The ZGO PersL ceramics with higher Cr 3+ dopant concentrations show less micro-pores and higher transmittance, which indicates that the Cr 3+ can also work as a sintering additive to increase the density and to improve the optical quality of ZGO PersL ceramics. The photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and emission (PL) intensities increase with the increase of Cr 3+ concentration up to 0.25 at.%. At yet higher Cr 3+ concentrations, the ZGO PersL ceramics exhibits weaker PL and PLE intensities which is probably caused by the concentration quenching effect. However, the PersL decay curves show that the PersL performance of ZGO ceramics increases with increasing Cr 3+ concentrations, indicating that the doping by Cr 3+ ions may cause another traps formation leading to stronger and longer PersL. The PersL decay curves of all ZGO PersL ceramics were fitted by the second-order exponential function, indicating that at least two kinds of traps with different electron release rates exist in the ZGO ceramics. The influence of Cr 3+ concentration on the thermoluminescence (TL) of ZGO PersL ceramics was also studied, and the results showed that the TL curves of the pre-sintered ceramics shifted to lower temperatures, indicating that the depth of trap related to Cr 3+ ions is shallower than the depth of trap caused by the intrinsic defects.

Conventional luminescent materials generally exhibit uni-color and transient emission under UV excitation, which makes them mediocre in the field of anti-counterfeiting. The high-level anti-counterfeiting techniques are always becoming more complicated and in need of multi-color and persistent luminescent materials. Herein, we report a series of β-NaYF4:RE3+ (RE = Sm, Tb, Dy, Pr) persistent luminescent phosphors with multi-color emitting and ultra-long persistent luminescence under the irradiation of X-rays. The effects of doping concentrations of RE3+ on the size, morphology, radioluminescence and afterglow performance of the products are investigated in detail. Hexagonal structured rod-like β-NaYF4:Tb3+ crystals show super strong X-ray response and the afterglow signal lasts for up to seven days after X-rays are turned off. Upon X-rays irradiation, some of the F− ions are expected to escape from the crystal lattice by elastic collisions, leading to the generation of Frenkel defects: the F vacancies and interstitials , which capture electrons and release them slowly to achieve different afterglow emission times. Taking advantages of the extraordinary radioluminescence performance of the β-NaYF4:RE3+ persistent luminescent phosphors, the dynamic anti-counterfeiting patterns that containing rich time-resolved information were successfully designed.

Multi-mode luminescence tuning through in situ crystallization of topological glass holds significance for photonics applications. Here, NaAlSiO 4 :Eu 2+ -based glass ceramics are presented as stable persistent luminescence (PersL) materials by controlling the phase transformation in Eu 2+ doped Na 2 O-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 from amorphous glass to crystalline nepheline phase. X-ray and UV excited PersL colors from blue to yellow are realized by adjusting the crystallization duration time, and trap statuses reveal the dynamic PersL process with a trap redeployment from 0.83 to 1.09 eV during the transformation. Optical information storage model is constructed with a structure of stacked emitting layers to enhance storage capacity. X-ray excited luminescence time-lapse imaging is further demonstrated with optical memory longer than 5 days. These findings advance the development of superior stable PersL glass ceramics and offer optical manipulation tactics for multi-mode optical information storage applications.

Radiotherapy (RT) is a common modality in the clinical management of breast cancer. However, the radiation damage to healthy tissues caused by the high-dose radiation and the limited therapeutic efficacy with DNA damage repair pose significant challenges in RT. In this work, an intelligent responsive nanoplatform with dual effect radiosensitization (mZGSSM-AMD) has been developed to improve the efficacy of RT. The doping of Lu promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under X-ray irradiation, thereby facilitating DNA breakage. To hinder the repair of damaged DNA, NO is loaded into mZGSSM-AMD, enhancing damage of tumor during radiotherapy. Furthermore, persistent luminescence (PersL) recovers with the degradation of MnO 2 in tumor microenvironment (TME), which guides precision radiosensitization of tumors. Experimental results indicate that growth of tumors is significantly suppressed by effective radiosensitization of mZGSSM-AMD. The mZGSSM-AMD with dual effect radiosensitization exhibits exceptional antitumor effectiveness, providing promising application prospects for the imaging-guided precise radiosensitization therapy.

Scintillators with high light yield, spatial resolution, and detection sensitivity are desirable for X-ray imaging. Howerer, it remains challenging to improve the light yield and radiation detection capability of alkali metal rare-earth fluoride (ALnF 4 ). Herein, a type of Cu 2+ ion heterovalent co-doped LiLuF 4 :Tb,Cu microcrystalline scintillation material with high light yield, persistent, and thermostimulated luminescence is obtained by defect engineering. The heterovalent codoping strategy not only increases the radioluminescence (RL) intensity, but also introduces more carrier traps in the material to enhance the long-afterglow and thermoluminescence intensity of LiLuF 4 :Tb microcrystals. After doping of 3 mol% Cu 2+ ions, the RL efficiency is increased by 88.61%, and the X-ray detection limit of LiLuF 4 :Tb,Cu reaches 2.7928 nGy·s ‒1 . This detectivity is considerably lower than the medical imaging requirements (5.5 µGy·s ‒1 ). Furthermore, a large-area flexible scintillation film of dimensions 30 × 30 cm 2 is prepared to achieve high spatial resolution X-ray imaging of 22 LP mm −1 @MTF(modulation transfer function) = 0.2. Besides, this flexible film enables X-ray imaging of curved objects and stores optical information for >48 h. This work provides a paradigm for improving the RL intensity and X-ray detection sensitivity of alkali rare-earth fluorides by crystal defect engineering, and enriches X-ray high resolution extended imaging applications.

The commercial blue persistent luminescent (PersL) phosphor (CaAl2O4:Eu2+,Nd3+) is renowned for its exceptional PersL duration, but it is hampered by its poor chemical stability. There is an urgent need to develop blue PersL phosphors that can combine the excellent PersL property with robust stability. In this work, we report on a series of highly stable Ce3+-doped oxynitride PersL phosphors. Notably, BaSi3Al3O4N5:Ce3+ has been identified to contain two distinct types of defects in the host: one associated with photoluminescence (PL) and the other with electron trapping and detrapping dynamics. These intrinsic defects have been systematically investigated and confirmed by analyzing both PL and PersL spectra, which could be generated by nitrogen deficiency and the existing oxygen vacancy in BaSi3Al3O4N5. BaSi3Al3O4N5:Ce3+ has a widely distributed trap from 0.21 to 1.02 eV, with a peak at 0.63 eV, as determined by the initial rise method. BaSi3Al3O4N5:Ce3+ exhibits not only excellent water-resistance stability but also superior heat-resistant stability. Leveraging its widely distributed traps and great chemical stability, we have successfully demonstrated the optical information storage ability of BaSi3Al3O4N5:Ce3+ by using a gradual optical writing method. This comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the development of stable oxynitride PersL phosphors for potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
