Phototherapy of deep tumors still suffers from many obstacles, such as limited near-infrared (NIR) tissue penetration depth and low accumulation efficiency within the target sites. Herein, stimuli-sensitive tumor-targeted photodynamic nanoparticles (STPNs) with persistent luminescence for the treatment of deep tumors are reported. Purpurin 18 (Pu18), a porphyrin derivative, is utilized as a photosensitizer to produce persistent luminescence in STPNs, while lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit bioimaging properties and possess high photostability that can enhance photosensitizer efficacy. STPNs are initially stimulated by NIR irradiation before intravenous administration and accumulate at the tumor site to enter the cells through the HER2 receptor. Due to Pu18 afterglow luminescence properties, STPNs can continuously generate ROS to inhibit NFκB nuclear translocation, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. Moreover, STPNs can be used for diagnostic purposes through MRI and intraoperative NIR navigation. STPNs exceptional antitumor properties combined the advantages of UCNPs and persistent luminescence, representing a promising phototherapeutic strategy for deep tumors.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with long persistent luminescence (LPL) have attracted extensive research attention due to their potential applications in information encryption, anticounterfeiting technology, and security logic. The strategic combinations of organic phosphor linkers and metal ions lead to tremendous frameworks, which could unveil many undiscovered properties of organics. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a three-dimensional MOF (Cd-MOF) is reported, which demonstrates enhanced blue photoluminescence and a phosphorescent lifetime of 124 ms as compared to the pristine linker (HL) under ambient conditions due to the scaffolding and heavy-atom effects of metal chains in the framework.

Inspired by the natural responsive phenomena, herein the multiple responsive persistent luminescent ZnGaGeO:Ni (ZGGO:Ni) nanoparticles with near-infrared  (NIR) II emission peak ≈1330 nm derived from the Ni doping through controlled synthesis based on hydrothermal method are obtained. The obtained NIR II persistent luminescent ZGGO:Ni can not only respond to temperature but also the specific solvent stimulus. The results demonstrate that the NIR II persistent luminescence intensity decreases in hydroxyl containing solvent such as water (HO) and ethyl alcohol (CHO), while the PL intensity remains in solvent without hydroxyl groups such as n-hexane (CH) and deuterated water (DO).

Metal-organic hybrid materials with long persistent luminescence (LPL) properties have attracted a lot of attention due to their enormous potential for applications in information encryption, anticounterfeiting, and other correlation fields. However, achieving multimodal luminescence in a single component remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report two two-dimensional LPL coordination polymers: {[Zn(BA)(BIMB)]·2HO} () and {[Cd(BA)(BIMB)]·3HO} () (BIMB = 1,3-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene; BA = butanedioic acid).

With the development of optical anti-counterfeiting and the increasing demand for high-level information encryption, multimodal luminescence (MML) materials attract much attention. However, the discovery of these multifunctional materials is very accidental, and the versatile host suitable for developing such materials remains unclear. Here, a grossite-type fast ionic conductor CaGaO, characterized by layered and tunnel structure with excellent defect tolerance, is found to meet the needs of various luminescent processes.

Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials have shown promising applications in visualized mechanical sensing, imaging, and real-time monitoring because of their unique mechanics-optics conversion. However, the short emission lifetime of transient ML presents challenges in overcoming temporal and spatial constraints in practical applications. In this work, a mechanically charged persistent ML material was created by compositing the CaNaMg(PO):Tb and flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) matrix.
