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.

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.

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.

Trap-controlled mechanoluminescence (ML) enables the direct observation of stress concentration of load-bearing objects through imaging the ML distribution, showing numerous prospects in stress detection, bio-imaging and optical displays. However, the applications of trap-controlled ML materials universally require long-time delay to fade the noise of symbiotic persistent luminescence (PersL) in order to achieve high-contrast ML images. In view of the difficulty to solve the PersL problem through individually eliminating the PersL traps, herein we propose a novel strategy of sacrificing trap density which decreases PersL and ML traps as a whole. By employing Sr 2+ substitution to decrease the trap density of Ca 2 Nb 2 O 7 :Pr 3+ , we identify a novel composition of (Ca 0.5 Sr 0.5 ) 2 Nb 2 O 7 :Pr 3+ displaying short-delay and high-contrast ML images, and evaluate its practicability through a 2-dimensional in-situ imaging experiment of dynamic stress distribution. The underlying mechanism is ascribed to the greater decrease ratio of PersL intensity than ML intensity as a result of the larger detrapping rate of traps due to stress (leading to ML) than that due to thermal energy (PersL). Furthermore, multi-spectral investigations of (Ca,Sr) 2 Nb 2 O 7 :Pr 3+ system reveal a distinctive electron transition process co-regulated by trap levels, charge transfer state and crystal field . The proposed strategy and the associated phosphors are expected to initiate the reconstruction of PersL-type ML materials and bring important implications for real-world stress imaging.

Materials exhibiting persistent luminescence (PersL) have great prospect in optoelectronic and biomedical applications such as optical information storage, bio-imaging, and so on. Unfortunately, PersL materials with multimode emission properties have been rarely reported, although they are expected to be very desirable in multilevel anti-counterfeiting and encryption applications. Herein, Cr 3+ -doped zinc aluminum germanium (ZAG:Cr) nanoparticles exhibiting triple-mode emissions are designed and demonstrated. Upon exposure to steady 254 nm UV light, the ZAG:Cr nanoparticles yield steady bluish-white emission. After turning off the UV light, the emission disappears quickly and the mode switches to transient near-infrared (NIR) PersL emission at predominantly 690 nm. The transient NIR PersL emission which arises from Cr 3+ is induced by non-equivalent substitution of Ge 4+ . After persisting for 50 min, it can be retriggered by 980 nm photons due to the continuous trap depth distribution of ZAG:Cr between 0.65 and 1.07 eV. Inspired by the triple-mode emissions from ZAG:Cr, multifunctional luminescent inks composed of ZAG:Cr nanoparticles are prepared, and high-security labeling and encoding encryption properties are demonstrated. The results indicate that ZAG:Cr nanoparticles have great potential in anti-counterfeiting and encryption applications, and the strategy and concept described here provide insights into the design of advanced anti-counterfeiting materials.

Using probes based on persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) is a promising methodology for direct imaging analysis of bio-molecules. In the present work, SrMgSi2O6:Eu0.01,Dy0.02 persistent luminescence microspheres have been synthesized via a simple template method and sunlight could successfully excite their luminescence. Further, a new probe was established based on turn-off of the persistent luminescence emission for detection and optical imaging of dopamine (DA). Mechanistic studies indicated that when the synthesized PL microspheres themselves are alkaline, the PL of the SrMgSi2O6:Eu0.01,Dy0.02 microspheres can be efficiently quenched by DA through electron transfer in the presence of ambient O2. The approach exhibited high convenience by only homogeneously mixing DA and the SrMgSi2O6:Eu0.01,Dy0.02 microspheres. Meanwhile, other phenols, ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA) were tested and had little interference to the dopamine detection. The current strategy showed the linear range of PL intensity versus concentration was 1.0 × 10−5–1.0 × 10−3 M for DA with a detection limit of 0.78 μM (S/N = 3) and it was successfully applied for imaging and detection of DA in human urine with quantitative recovery (99.6–102.5%).

Persistent luminescent material (PLM) is promising candidate in anti-counterfeiting field. Specifically, Ultraviolet (UV) PLM without visible persistent luminescence (PersL) can realize information encryption with high concealment and security. However, UV-PLM has not yet been applied in anti-counterfeiting owing to the lack of invisible UV-PLM. Herein, we, for the first time, report a novel invisible ultraviolet-B (UVB) PLM and applied in advanced anti-counterfeiting and encryption field, exhibting its unique advantages. First, we prepared a novel series of UV-PLM, Mg 2 Ln 2 Ge 3 O 11 :Bi 3+ (Ln = Gd, La, Y, and Lu) and then realized the tuning of PersL from 350 to 310 nm via element substitution. Specifically, Mg 2 Lu 2 Ge 3 O 11 :Bi 3+ (MLG) can emit dim visible photoluminescence under 254 nm excitation and produce UVB-PersL without visible region after the excitation was ceased, which caused it appear like an ordinary fluorescent powder. Interestingly, the invisible UVB-PersL can be detected using a camera realizing the information encryption with high concealment. Moreover, owing to its unique optical properties, mixing MLG with different colors of fluorescent powder endows it with the ability to camouflage. Based on MLG, we designed a triple-mode information encryption method and demonstrated its unique advantages in the field of advanced anti-counterfeiting.

Color-tunable persistent luminescent materials that respond to external physical stimuli are fascinating but rarely reported, especially the dynamic ones. In this work, a dynamically color-tunable persistent luminescence by varying the ambient temperature is revealed in an all-inorganic singly-phase Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ co-doped zinc gallate spinel phosphor. The persistent luminescence shows dramatic color variation from green (∼503 nm) to deep red (∼709 nm) in 350 ∼ 650 K. The application potential of this phosphor for advanced anti-counterfeiting is verified by fabricating several multi-level anti-counterfeiting models, which work under both fluorescence and afterglow modes. Further, by detailed optical investigations and theoretical calculations, two factors are demonstrated to endow the persistent luminescence of the co-doped phosphor with temperature-dependent afterglow colors: the dual-traps electronic structure of the host and the different photoluminescence thermal quenching properties of the Cr 3+ /Mn 2+ emitters. This work reports the dynamic color-tunable persistent luminescence under different temperatures in Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ co-doped zinc gallate and provides a new perspective for the design of thermal-responsive dynamic optical materials for the application of advanced anti-counterfeiting.

Modern engineering fields put forward requirements for optical temperature sensors, which need natural-light excitation/storage and near-infrared (NIR) afterglow emission for some special conditions. Here, NIR persistent luminescent phosphors of ZnGa2–x(Mg/Ge)xO4:Cr3+ (x = 0–1.25) have been synthesized. The incorporation of Mg2+/Ge4+ ions in ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ resulted in more defect clusters of “MgGa′–GeGa•” and “ZnGa′–GeGa•” and interstitial oxygens (OInt). Increasing the calcination temperature and Mg2+/Ge4+ doping both contributed to the generation of OInt. Higher efficiency of visible light excitation was observed, mainly due to the defect clusters and OInt. The samples exhibited a bright NIR emission at 695 nm by exposure to UV or visible light, and the NIR signal can last longer than 1 h after the stoppage of excitation. Incorporation of Mg2+/Ge4+ and increasing the calcination temperature both resulted in a deeper trap depth. However, the density of trapped charge carriers takes the dominant role in the persistent luminescence. Therefore, the x = 0.25 sample, having the most trapped charge carriers, exhibits the best afterglow performance. The prepared phosphor exhibited a temperature-dependent persistent luminescence behavior, which can charge natural light and release NIR light repeatedly many times, indicating that they are the potential natural-light rechargeable materials for temperature sensing.

Persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphors are considered as promising candidates for the next generation of information storage medium. Mg 4 Ga 4 Ge 3 O 16 (MGG) is an electron trapping material which exhibits defect luminescence, and the luminescent properties are easily tuned via doping various activated ions. In this work, undoped and Mn 2+ /Pr 3+ /Tb 3+ single-doped MGG phosphors were synthesized via high temperature solid phase reactions. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope results confirm that the activated ions tend to occupy Mg 2+ sites. Excited at 265 nm, the MGG host exhibits a defect emission band peaked at 450 nm. Red, pink and green emissions are observed in the Mn 2+ /Pr 3+ /Tb 3+ single-doped MGG samples, which are ascribed to the Mn 2+ : 4 T 1 (G) → 6 A 1 (S), Pr 3+ : 1 D 2 → 3 H 4 and Tb 3+ : 5 D 4 → 7 F 5 transitions, respectively. All the samples exhibit bright PersL for minutes after the cessation of excitation. The energy transfer, concentration quenching, luminescence decay and afterglow mechanisms are also discussed in detail. The phosphors exhibit efficient thermal and optical stimuli response, showing great potentials in the optical information storage.

Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials, which can emit light under external mechanical stimuli, have attracted much interest in diverse applications such as stress sensing, anti-counterfeiting and 3D signatures. However, ML materials located within the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range are still limited. In this study, a series of LixY0.995GeO4:0.005Bi3+ (0.898 ≤ x ≤ 1.003) samples are synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, ML, persistent luminescence (PersL) and photoluminescence (PL) are systematically studied. The excellent UVA PersL of LiYGeO4:Bi3+ can be ascribed to the existence of abundant trap sites created by the intentional loss of Li+ ions, which can improve the ML properties of the phosphors. This excellent material can make up for the deficiency of PersL materials in the UVA region (315–450 nm), and it may greatly expand the application of ML materials in the biomedical, energy and catalysis fields.

Efficient and stable persistent phosphors play a crucial role in the fields of energy storage, anti-counterfeiting, and biomedical fields. Here, we present an improved synthetic method for preparing a series of color-tunable LiYGeO 4 :Tb 3+ persistent phosphor. The increased Tb 3+ concentration in the improved method enhances the persistent luminescent intensity at 20 s by ∼2.96 times. This enhancement is due to the dual roles of Tb 3+ as both emitters and trap centers within LiYGeO 4 . By simply increasing the doping concentrations, the persistent color can be adjusted from blue to green. LiYGeO 4 :Tb 3+ exhibits no loss of persistent luminescent intensity even after exposure to water at 80 °C for 72 h, surpassing the commercial green persistent phosphor. Furthermore, information storage was successful demonstrated by using LiYGeO 4 :Tb 3+ with various doping concentrations. This study represents a significant advancement in optimizing the properties of persistent luminescent materials, where dopants simultaneously serve as emitters and trap centers.
