Chromium is a common heavy metal element that is harmful to the ecosystem as well as human health, so sensitive detection of chromium ions in solution is important for life and health. In this paper, a series of Eu3+-doped KBi3F10 fluorescent powders were successfully synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method for the selective detection of Cr3+, CrO42− and Cr2O72− ions in an aqueous solution. When adjusting the pH value to 3 and adding PVP as an additive, the obtained KBi3F10:12%Eu3+ phosphor showed excellent red luminescence. Due to the competitive absorption and the inner filter effect of Cr3+, CrO42− and Cr2O72− ions, the red emission from Eu3+ ions produces fluorescence quenching, which can be used to detect them with good selectivity. And the detection limits are as low as 0.19 μM, 0.38 μM and 0.094 μM for Cr3+, CrO42− and Cr2O72− ions, respectively. Other metal ions and common anions showed little interference with chromium ion detection. The obtained fluorescent probe has good recyclability, accurate and reliable detection results, simple operation and low cost and is easy to promote, which make it an excellent three-in-one probe for chromium detection.

Cr 3+ -activated near-infrared (NIR) phosphors are one of the most influential candidates for the new generation of intelligent NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) light sources. For spectral analysis, the broader the spectrum, the more useful information it contains. Herein, ultra-broadband Cr-activated Sc 2 O 3 nanophosphors, which exhibit NIR ultra-broadband from 650 to 1600 nm, are developed by the sol–gel method. This ultra-broadband emission originates from the presence of Cr 3+ and Cr 4+ , two luminescent centers confirmed by diffuse reflection spectra, electron paramagnetic resonance, time-resolved photoluminescence spectra, and temperature-dependent emission spectra. The nanophosphor exhibits excellent temperature-sensing performance with S A = 4.102% K −1 and S R = 1.855% K −1 . Co-doping Yb 3+ into Sc 2 O 3 nanophosphors builds the Cr 3+ -Yb 3+ -Cr 4+ model to bridge the spectral gap located at 1000 nm, forming a continuous NIR ultra-broadband spectrum ranging from 650 to 1600 nm for the first time. Moreover, the introduction of Yb 3+ improves the thermal stability of nanophosphors from 29.49% to 50.65% at 150 °C. The NIR transmission spectra of water, ethanol, and peanut oil demonstrate that Sc 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ -Yb 3+ -Cr 4+ NIR nanophosphors favor potential applications in spectral analysis. The construction of a Cr 3+ -Yb 3+ -Cr 4+ spectral bridge for realizing NIR ultra-broadband phosphors based on cheap blue LEDs provides novel and effective insights.

Advances in broadband near-infrared (NIR) emitting materials represent a pivotal frontier for next-generation intelligent NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) technologies. However, practical implementation of these materials has been constrained by challenges such as suboptimal quantum efficiency (QE) and pronounced thermal quenching (TQ). In this study, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of broadband NIR-emitting phosphors, Gd 3 AlGa 4 O 12 :Cr 3+ , exhibiting anti-TQ properties without compromising QE. The material's inherent structural rigidity , wide bandgap, and the minimal electron-phonon coupling (EPC) effect provide a foundation for high-performance broadband NIR luminescence. Strategic optimization of Cr 3+ doping concentrations, combined with controlled excited-state electron migration, achieves an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 98.23 % and a remarkable anti-TQ capability (135.1 %@483 K). The practical potential is further demonstrated through prototype NIR pc-LED implementation, where integration with a commercial blue LED chip delivers an NIR output power of 285.38 mW at 1170 mA and a wall-plug efficiency (WPE) of 17.42 % at 30 mA, highlighting its potential for use in diverse applications such as plant growth, component analysis, night vision, nondestructive detection, and non-invasive imaging. Overall, this work addresses critical challenges in broadband NIR phosphors and advances the development of high-performance and energy-efficient miniatured broadband NIR light sources .

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.

The toxicity of engineered nanoparticles remains a concern. The knowledge of biohazards associated with particular nanoparticles is crucial to make this cutting-edge technology more beneficial and safe. Here, we evaluated the toxicity of Ga 2 O 3 nanoparticles (NPs), which are frequently used to enhance the performance of metal catalysts in a variety of catalytic reactions. The potential inflammatory signaling associated with the toxicity of HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ NPs in primary cortical neurons was examined. We observed a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis in neurons following various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 25, 50, 100 µg/ml) of HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ NPs treatment. Consistently, constitutively active forms of calcineurin (48 kDa) were significantly elevated in cultured primary cortical neurons, which was consistent with calpain activation indicated by the breakdown products of spectrin. Moreover, HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ NPs result in the elevation of LC3-II formation, SQSTM/p62, and Cathepsin B, whereas phosphorylation of CaMKII (Thr286) and Synapsin I (Ser603) were downregulated in the same context. Taken together, these results demonstrate for the first time that calpain activation and a disturbance of autophagy signaling are evoked by exposure to HA/β-Ga 2 O 3 :Cr 3+ NPs, which may contribute to neuronal injury in vitro .

The continually advancing near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) hold pivotal significance in optical imaging and NIR spectroscopy. Cr 3+ -doped garnet broadband NIR phosphors have attracted considerable attention owing to their high optical performance enabled by the rigid structure. Nonetheless, the emission wavelength is severely restricted, and longer wavelength emissions usually result in inferior quantum efficiency and poor luminescence stability. In this work, the concurrent reconstruction of dodecahedral and octahedral sites by introducing [Na + -Sn 4+ ] unit in the framework of Na 2 CaSn 2 Ge 3 O 12 garnet contributes to the Cr 3+ broadband NIR emission spanning 700–1200 nm, with a peak at 820 nm. Utilizing a charge compensation strategy via Ta 5+ codoping largely boosts the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of Na 2 CaSn 2 Ge 3 O 12 :Cr 3+ from 93.06 % up to 95.04 %. Trap-mediated energy compensation is proposed to achieve a record-breaking zero-thermal-quenching behavior (99.39 %@423 K) of Cr 3+ -doped garnet with such a longer wavelength emission. The encapsulated prototype broadband NIR pc–LED gives rise to an overwhelming NIR output power of 590.9 mW@1300 mA and a photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of 32.62 % at 30 mA, rendering exceptional performance in night vision, detection, and NIR imaging applications.

A broadband near-infrared (NIR) light source based on a phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) has attracted increasing interest to be used in non-destructive examination, security-monitoring and medical diagnosis fields, which stimulates the exploration of NIR phosphors with high performance. Herein, a series of Cr3+-activated garnet Ln3ScInGa3O12:Cr3+ (Ln = La, Gd, Y, and Lu) phosphors were reported, allowing an emission peak ranging from 726 to 822 nm. Among them, Y3ScInGa3O12:Cr3+ with an optimized Cr3+-doping concentration of 6 mol% exhibits a high internal quantum efficiency (IQE = 83.1%) and excellent absorption efficiency (AE = 44.2%) under 450 nm blue light excitation, enabling an external quantum efficiency as high as 36.7%. Moreover, this material can maintain 93.0% of the initial intensity when heated up to 423 K, implying outstanding thermal stability. Finally, a prototype NIR pc-LED device was fabricated by coating the optimized phosphor on a 455 nm LED chip, which generates a broadband NIR emission with a peak located at 765 nm and a full width at half maximum of 127 nm. The NIR output power and NIR photoelectric conversion efficiency of this device were found to be 38.01 mW and 11.0%, respectively, under 100 mA driving current, demonstrating the feasibility of this material to be applied in NIR pc-LEDs.

Cr3+-activated phosphors with high quantum efficiency show excellent promise in the field of near-infrared (NIR) phosphor converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). Here, we design an annealing program for Cr3+-doped phosphors containing variable valence elements that cannot be prepared in a reducing atmosphere to enhance their luminescence efficiency and thermal stability. A novel phosphor, Li2Mg3SnO6:Cr3+, developed by this annealing design, containing variable valence element Sn, exhibits higher quantum efficiency and better thermal stability than the one prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. The Li2Mg3SnO6:0.03Cr3+ sample exhibits broadband NIR emission with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 201 nm. After annealing, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the Li2Mg3SnO6:0.03Cr3+ sample are enhanced from 48.5% to 84.7% and from 22.7% to 32.6%, respectively, and the thermal quenching temperature at which the luminescence intensity of the phosphor reduces to half of its initial value is promoted from ∼400 K to ∼425 K. The luminescence intensity of the optimized Li2Mg3SnO6:0.03Cr3+ sample at 425 K (∼152 °C) remains 49.2% of its initial intensity at 300 K. A NIR pc-LED is fabricated by combining the optimized Li2Mg3SnO6:0.03Cr3+ sample with a blue LED (455 nm blue chip), and the NIR radiant fluxes of 3.676 mW (at 10 mA) and 29.21 mW (at 100 mA), as well as a maximum NIR photoelectric efficiency of 14.2%, are obtained. The results show that this novel phosphor has great application potential in NIR pc-LEDs, and the annealing design exhibits huge potential for improving the optical properties of Cr3+-activated phosphors.

A novel biosorbent was facilely prepared by immobilizing bayberry tannin (BT, a typical natural polyphenols) onto chitosan microfiber (CM). The as-prepared CM-BT adsorbent featured to a well-defined microfibrous morphology and highly distributed adsorption sites, which was highly efficient and selective for the adsorptive removal of Cr 3+ from aqueous solutions. Based on batch experiments, the adsorption of Cr 3+ on CM-BT was pH-dependent, and the optimized adsorption pH was determined to be 5.5. The adsorption capacity of CM-BT to Cr 3+ was high up to 20.90 mg/g. The co-existing cations, such as Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Fe 3+ and Cu 2+ , exhibited no significant influences on the adsorption of Cr 3+ on CM-BT. The adsorption kinetics were well fitted by the pseudo-second-order rate model ( R 2 > 0.99) while the adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir model ( R 2 > 0.98). Importantly, CM-BT was effective for the continues treatment of low concentration Cr 3+ (2.0 mg/L) contaminated wastewater. Before reached the breakthrough point (5% of the initial Cr 3+ concentration, 0.1 mg/L), the treated volume was as high as 894 bed volume, manifesting the great potential of CM-BT in practical treatment of Cr 3+ contaminated wastewater.

A new coumarin–quinoline based sensor 1 has been synthesized. The paramagnetic Cu2+ ion turned off the fluorescence of sensor 1 with a 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry. The resultant 1–Cu2+ complex could act in situ as an efficient “off–on” fluorescence sensor for the paramagnetic Cr3+ ion triggered by the 1 : 1 replacement of Cu2+ with Cr3+. This selective fluorescence “on–off–on” sensor was used to identify Cu2+ and Cr3+ in living breast cancer MCF-7 cells using confocal fluorescence microscopy, indicating that sensor 1 has a potential application for the selective detection of Cu2+ and Cr3+ in living cells.

Novel Cr3+ doped zinc gallogermanate (ZGGO) nanoparticles with 697 nm near-infrared (NIR) super long afterglow were prepared via a hydrothermal method. Subsequently, a vacuum-annealing strategy was adopted to improve NIR afterglow in ZGGO:Cr3+ nanoparticles. For the sample annealed at 800 °C, no variation in the particle size is observed, the persistent luminescence increases by an order of magnitude (∼14 times) and the NIR afterglow time reaches more than 15 hours relative to the as-prepared sample. After annealing at temperatures higher than 880 °C, the persistent luminescence of the nanoparticles is enhanced, but they show aggregated-surface behavior. Meanwhile, shallow and deep traps are generated, related to the antisite defects and VGe–Cr3+–VO defect clusters, respectively. Finally, we apply ZGGO:Cr3+ persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) to a human serum albumin (HSA) colloid solution, and more than 1 h of NIR persistent luminescence is detected under 320 nm excitation. The quenching effect of NIR luminescence by OH− in the HSA solution is observed based on the reduced contribution of surface Cr3+ in PLNPs to NIR luminescence. Our results suggest that ZGGO:Cr3+ PLNPs have potential applications for in vivo bio-imaging.

Trivalent chromium (Cr 3 + ) can cause severely environment pollution, declining quality of edible agro-products in plants and animals, and human diseases. Poly( N -(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)- l -histidine) (PFLH) synthesized by the direct electro-polymerization of its corresponding commercially available monomer in both boron trifluoride diethyl etherate and dichloromethane mixed system. The “turn-on” type fluorescent sensor based on PFLH displayed high sensitivity and selectivity for Cr 3 + detecting. The structure of PFLH was rationally proved by 1 H NMR spectra, FT-IR spectra, quantum chemical calculations , and its optical properties were characterized. The electro-synthesized PFLH exhibited a “turn-on” fluorescent response towards Cr 3 + , which was employed as a sensing platform for the “turn-on” fluorescent analysis of Cr 3 + in a wide linear range from 5.1 nM to 25 μM with a low limit of detection as low as 1.7 nM. The possible mechanism of fluorescent “turn-on” sensor based on PFLH for Cr 3 + was proposed. The sensor displayed high sensitivity, good selectivity, satisfactory practicability, suggesting that PFLH has potential fluorescent application for “turn-on” sensing Cr 3 + in agricultural environments and edible agro-products of plants and animals.
