Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are desired for optoelectronic and biomedical applications, while the development of target broadband NIR phosphors still remains a significant challenge. Herein, a kind of Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphors with a broad NIR emission ranging from 650 to 1400 nm under 450 nm excitation are reported. A giant red-shift emission peak from 866 to 1020 nm together with broadened full width at half-maximum of 320 nm is achieved simply by varying the doped Cr 3+ concentrations. Structural and spectroscopy analysis demonstrate that a concentration-dependent site-occupation of Cr 3+ emitters in different Al 3+ sites is responsible for the tunable NIR luminescence. The as-fabricated NIR pc-LED based on optimized AlNbO 4 :Cr 3+ phosphor exhibits great potential in night-vision applications. This work provides a novel design principle on the Cr 3+ -doped AlNbO 4 phosphor with tunable broadband luminescence from NIR-I to NIR-II, and these materials can be employed in NIR spectroscopy applications.

Broadband near-infrared (NIR)-emitting materials have critical applications in biology, medical detection, and NIR night-vision. However, developing NIR phosphors with promising optical properties and excellent thermal stability is a great challenge for research. In this work, a novel NIR phosphor Cr 3+ and Yb 3+ doped CaSc 2 O 4 (CSO) is an evolving NIR emitting phosphor with decent optical properties , boosted emission intensity, and thermal stability that makes it a promising candidate with potential applications in NIR-LED and infrared night-vision. The implications of the fundamental electronic structure of CSO, including valence-band (VB) and conduction-band (CB) orbital character, are investigated. Under blue light excitation, CSO:Cr 3+ is settled with pure broadband NIR emissions (max = 920 nm, FWHM (full width at half maximum) = ∼310 nm) and good thermal stability . The occupation of two selectable lattice sites of Cr 3+ in CSO is discussed in detail. Furthermore, emission enhancements of samples are done by Cr 3+ and Yb 3+ codoping, effectively broadening FWHM to 351 nm and reducing thermal quenching. The energy transfer (ET) routes in CSO:Cr 3+ ,Yb 3+ are investigated based on PL lifetime and comprehensive kinetic ET model, revealing that the PL enhancements by Cr 3+ and Yb 3+ codoping mainly originate from the ET from Cr 3+ to Yb 3+ emitters with more efficient and thermally stable. Finally, an InGaN-LED device encapsulated using CSO:0.01Cr 3+ and CSO:0.01Cr 3+ ,0.01 Yb 3+ phosphor was fabricated. The fabricated NIR pc-LEDs are excellent candidates for NIR light sources in biological imaging and NIR night vision.

Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials are featured with the characteristic of “force to light” in response to external stimuli, which have made great progress in artificial intelligence and optical sensing. However, how to effectively enable ML in the material is a daunting challenge. Here, a Lu 3 Al 2 Ga 3 O 12 :Cr 3+ (LAGO: Cr 3+ ) near infrared (NIR) ML material peaked at 706 nm is reported, which successfully realizes the key to unlock ML by the lattice-engineering strategy Ga 3+ substitution for Al 3+ to “grow” oxygen vacancy (O v ) defects. Combined with thermoluminescence measurements, the observed ML is due to the formation of defect levels and the ML intensity is proportional to it. It is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance that such a process is dominated by O v , which plays a crucial role in turning on ML in this compound. In addition, potential ML emissions from 4 T 2 and 2 E level transitions are discussed from both experimental and theoretical aspects. This study reveals the mechanism of the change in ML behavior after cation substitution, and it may have important implications for the practical application of O v defect-regulated turn-on of ML.

In this work, we fabricated NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ @NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Nd 3+ @TiO 2 (Tm@Nd@TiO 2 ) core@shell nanoparticles and investigated their near-infrared (NIR) photocatalytic activities. Comparing to traditional TiO 2 based upconversion (UC) photocatalysts (i.e., NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ @TiO 2 , named Tm@TiO 2 ), Tm@Nd@TiO 2 exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity under NIR light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under 980, 808, and 980 + 808 nm laser irradiation is 4.40, 5.84, and 9.83 times as high as that of Tm@TiO 2 under only 980 nm irradiation, respectively. The ethylene degradation rate of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under 980 + 808 nm laser irradiation is 6.4 times as that of Tm@TiO 2 . The photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 under visible + NIR irradiation is even comparable with (∼2/3) that under UV light irradiation during Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Tm@Nd@TiO 2 can be attributed to the stronger light absorption in NIR region ascribed to Nd 3+ , lower water absorption and the enhanced UC emission of Tm@Nd with unique core@shell nanostructures. This work can provide a possible route to improve the NIR photocatalytic activity and stimulate the applications in many other fields.

β-Ag 2 Te has attracted considerable attention in the application of electronics and optoelectronics due to its narrow bandgap, high mobility, and topological insulator properties. However, it remains a significant challenge to synthesize 2D Ag 2 Te because of the non-layered structure of Ag 2 Te. Herein, the synthesis of large-size, ultrathin single crystal topological insulator 2D Ag 2 Te via the van der Waals epitaxial method for the first time is reported. The 2D Ag 2 Te crystal exhibits p-type conduction behavior with high carrier mobility of 3336 cm 2 V −1 s −1 at room temperature. Taking advantage of the high mobility and perfect electron structure of Ag 2 Te, the Ag 2 Te/WSe 2 heterojunctions are fabricated via mechanical stacking and show an ultrahigh rectification ratio of 2 × 10 5 . Ag 2 Te/WSe 2 photodetector also exhibits self-driven properties with a fast response speed (40 µs/60 µs) in the near-infrared region. High responsivity (219 mA W −1 ) and light ON/OFF ratio of 6 × 10 5 are obtained under the photovoltaic mode. The overall performance of the Ag 2 Te/WSe 2 photodetector is significantly competitive among all reported 2D photodetectors. These results indicate that 2D Ag 2 Te is a promising candidate for future electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Cr 3+ is an ideal activator for near-infrared phosphor. Cr 3+ ions have an electronic structure in which the outermost shell is not fully filled, which makes the emission of Cr 3+ susceptible to the crystal field environment and the change of local structural. Therefore, when Zn 2+ -Ti 4+ ion pairs are replaced with Al 3+ -Al 3+ /Ga 3+ -Ga 3+ ion pairs , changes in the crystal structure and the crystal field are strengthened, which improves the luminescence performances of Zn 2 TiO 4 :Cr 3+ phosphors. The thermal stability and the intensity of the luminescence can be clearly seen to have increased.

Near-infrared (NIR) II region (1000–1700 nm) lighting sources possess special potential for temperature sensing and quantitative composition analysis. However, it is a challenge to tune the luminescence toward such long wavelength NIR-II emission. Herein, Cr 4+ ions occupation is designed and verified in olivine-type CaYGaO 4 as [CrO 4 ] tetrahedron by site occupancy confinement. Under 620 nm red light excitation, the phosphors display broadband NIR-II emission centered at 1330 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 233 nm, resulting from spin-allowed 3 T 2 to 3 A 2 transition of Cr 4+ ions in T d symmetry. The optical thermometry application is demonstrated by decoding the spectral shift and decay times varying with temperature, and the maximum relative sensitivities are 5.82% and 0.78% K −1 , respectively. Furthermore, a flexible film containing CaYGaO 4 :Cr 4+ is fabricated to implement the non-invasive detections of fillet temperature and NH 3 concentration in ammonia. This work represents a step toward developing next-generation NIR-II luminescence materials and widens non-invasive detection applications.

Near-infrared phosphor conversion light-emitting diode (NIR pc-LED) is a widely used ideal NIR light source due to its unique advantages of low cost, energy saving, compactness and long operational lifetime. However, there is currently a scarcity of appropriate phosphor for NIR light sources utilized in spectral detection, with emission peak larger than 850 nm and steady spectrum output of ultra broadband spectra. Here, a broadband Cr 3+ activated LiScSnO 4 (LSS) phosphor ( λ ex-max = 460 nm) matching the pump band of commercial blue LED chips has been developed, which shows a long wavelength NIR emission peaking at 900 nm. Cr 3+ simultaneously replace the Wyckoff site co-occupied by Sc and Sn in LSS. Due to the difference of local environment of the specific crystal field , two different wide emission bands are caused. These two broad emission bands both contribute to the broadband luminescence with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 227 nm. Benefiting from the crystallography consistent Wyckoff position occupation of Cr 3+ ions, the spectral distribution of LSS:Cr 3+ exhibit excellent stability over a wide temperature span (80–423 K). The broadband NIR pc-LED prototype based on LSS:Cr 3+ shows great potential in NIR spectrum detection, night vision imaging applications.

Luminescent metal halides have attracted increasing attention because of their tunable emission and superior photoelectric properties. However, it is still challenging to achieve near-infrared (NIR) emission from metal halides, which is important in applications such as food quality analysis and night vision. In this work, the broadband NIR emission is achieved by alloying Sn 2+ into zero-dimensional (0D) Cs 2 ZnBr 4 . The incorporating of Sn 2+ cations enables the originally weakly luminescent Cs 2 ZnBr 4 to exhibit an efficient broadband NIR emission. Upon photoexication, the optimized Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 (Cs 2 Zn 0.875 Sn 0.125 Br 4 ) exhibits a highly efficient broadband NIR emission peaked around 700 nm, with a large Stokes shift of 323 nm, a full width at maximum of 177 nm, and a high quantum efficiency of around 41%. Spectroscopic and theoretical calculations unveil that the efficient NIR emission originates from the self-trapping emission introduced by the Sn alloying. In addition to the high efficient broadband emission, the Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 also exhibits high thermal stability, retaining 78% of its initial intensity at 150 °C. The night vision application is demonstrated by using a light source fabricated by combining Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 phosphor with a 365 nm LED chip in the dark.

A negatively charged polypeptide nanogel, near-infrared (NIR) cyanine dye (Cy5.5) conjugated and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride (DMA) modified poly- l -lysine-co- l -cystine (CDPLC), is synthesized and is used as an imaging-guided sequential drug delivery system. The CDPLC nanogel can respond to two general stimulations in sequence: extracellular tumor acidic microenvironment pHe (6.8–6.5) and intracellular high concentration glutathione (GSH). Under pHe, the DMA shell of the nanogel is removed and a charge reversal takes place, resulting in positively charged nanogel which can be internalized by cancer cells easily. Once internalized into tumor cells, the increased intracellular GSH concentration further promotes DOX release from the nanogel and DOX is enriched to the nucleus. Cy5.5 is conjugated to the nanogel as an NIR fluorescent probe, making it possible for imaging-guided drug delivery, which is confirmed by the MTT and confocal laser scanning microscopy via in vitro experiments. The as-prepared nanogel is a potential theranostic for cancer therapy.

Novel Ca 2 ScNbO 6 (CSNO): Cr 3+ phosphors were synthesized through a solid-phase method. The crystal structures, luminescence performances, and applications were introduced in this work. The optimized doping concentration was found with a Cr 3+ concentration of 0.01 mol. Under the 336 nm excitation, the recorded photoluminescence spectrum in the range of 650–1300 nm indicated that the obtained sample can emit a broad near-infrared emission with a dominant peak of 858 nm while the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was determined to be 191 nm. To gain a deeper comprehension of the luminescent properties, the crystal field strength was investigated as Dq/B = 2.03, and the electron-phonon coupling for parameter S was calculated to be about 2.01. As for the potential application, utilizing the variable temperature decay lifetime technique, the relative sensitivity (S R ) was approximately 1.16% K −1 at 387 K, which can be promised for utilization in optical temperature measurement. On the other hand, a near-infrared phosphor-converted lighting-emitting diode ( Pc -LED) was fabricated for night vision. Eventually, the security ink based on the obtained sample was made for use in the anti-counterfeiting field.
