Achieving organic red/near infrared (NIR) phosphorescence at high temperatures is theoretically challenging because of the severe nonradiative transitions of excited triplet states with low energy gaps. This study realizes bright and persistent red/NIR afterglow with excellent high-temperature resistance up to 413 K via highly efficient (≈100%) phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (PRET) from rationally designed branched phosphorescence luminogens as energy donors to red/NIR dyes as acceptors, coupled with optimized aggregated structures. According to systematic investigations, the abundant internal cavities formed by the highly branched luminogens in solid states ensure dye loading and space limitation, which can considerably suppress nonradiative transitions at high temperatures, promoting a persistent red/NIR afterglow with excellent stability.

Near-infrared II (NIR-II) photoacoustic (PA)/photothermal imaging-guided tumor therapy holds great promise in precision medicine for cancer treatment. This work reports on the synthesis and application of an organic small molecule nanoagent that has exceptional PA and photothermal properties in the near-infrared region. BCy-TPE was constructed by linking an NIR-II absorbing cyanine dye BCy-Cl with a twisted tetraphenylethene unit.

Diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) is a rapidly advancing non-invasive diagnostic technique to investigate biological tissue, based on probing the target object with optical radiation in the visible and/or near-infrared wavelength range and detecting the diffusely scattered light from the tissue. The signals obtained through DOS provide extensive information about the biochemical composition of tissues due to the presence of light-absorbing compounds known as chromophores. To date, DOS is widely employed to detect major chromophores such as deoxygenated (Hb) and oxygenated (HbO) hemoglobin, water, lipids, and melanin.

Visible quantum dot light-emitting diodes have satisfied commercial display requirements. However, near-infrared counterparts considerably lag behind due to the inferior quality of near-infrared quantum dots and limitations in device architecture suitable for near-infrared electroluminescence. Here, we present an efficient strategy using zinc fluoride to balance ZnSe shell growth across different core quantum dot facets, producing highly regular InAs/InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots with near-unity quantum yield.

Liposome systems are highly advantageous for encapsulating curcumin with improved solubility and bioactivity. However, the conventional preparation of curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes is often hindered by the complex synthesis process, specialized equipment and the use of toxic organic solvents. This study presents a simple and green method for preparing curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes.
