Zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halides have emerged as a new generation of luminescent phosphors owing to their high radiative recombination rates, which, akin to their three-dimensional cousins, commonly demonstrate thermal quenching of luminescence. Here, we report on the finding of antithermal quenching of luminescence in 0D hybrid metal halides. Using (CNH)SnBr single crystals as an example system, we show that 0D metal halides can demonstrate antithermal quenching of luminescence. A combination of experimental characterizations and first-principles calculations suggests that antithermal quenching of luminescence is associated with trap states introduced by structural defects in (CNH)SnBr. Importantly, we find that antithermal quenching of luminescence is not only limited to (CNH)SnBr but also exists in other 0D metal halides. Our work highlights the important role of defects in impacting photophysical properties of hybrid metal halides and may stimulate new efforts to explore metal halides exhibiting antithermal quenching of luminescence at higher temperatures.

The incorporation of photoactive organic dyes into layered inorganic materials enhances their optical and chemical properties, making them ideal for sensing applications. In this study, Bisindolyl methane (BIM)-based neutral probes were integrated with bentonite clay to explore their sensing capabilities. Probe 1 (unoxidized BIM) and Probe 2 (oxidized BIM) generally exhibited quenched luminescence in solution due to intramolecular rotations.

Herein, a kind of N-doped fluorescent carbon dots (N-CDs) were prepared by using melamine and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as precursors through a straightforward hydrothermal method. The designed sensor displayed a uniform nanoscale distribution, excellent hydrophilicity, and strong fluorescence emission with a fluorescence quantum yield of 37.98%.

The synthesis of multi-wavelength emission fluorescent metal-organic framework sensors has received widespread attention in recent years. Under solvothermal conditions, a series of triple-emission fluorescent sensors were fabricated by in situ encapsulation of red emitting Eosin Y and green emitting 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) into a blue emitting naphthalene-based Zr-MOF. By combining the dye quantity regulation and the resonance energy transfer between MOFs and dyes, the single-phase EY&BPEA@Zr-MOFs exhibited tunable triple-emission fluorescence.

Among the various aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) assays, performing accurate detection is difficult because false positives and false negatives are frequent due to limited sensitivity, expensive equipment, or inadequate pretreatment during operation. Here, an "off-on" switch-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor armed with cobalt-sulfur quantum dots was encapsulated in hollow cobalt-layered double hydroxide nanocages as an enhanced luminescent probe (Co-LDH@QDs), and a ferrocene-modified aptamer (Fc-APT) was used as a luminescent quencher. In general, when Fc-APT was hybridized with complementary DNA modified with a DNA nanotetrahedron, electron transfer between ferrocene and Co-LDH@QDs was facilitated, leading to efficient quenching of the ECL intensity into an "off" state in the absence of AFB1.

Thermal quenching (TQ) of luminescence presents a significant barrier to the effective use of optical thermometers in high-temperature applications. Herein, we report a novel uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) phosphor, YMoO:Yb,Nd, synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Under 980 nm laser excitation, it exhibits excellent thermally enhanced near-infrared (NIR) upconversion luminescence (UCL) performance.
