The second near-infrared window (NIR-II) in the range of 1000-1400 nm is ideal for imaging and sensing through reduced scattering, absorption, and autofluorescence. However, there are only a few nanophosphor systems with emission in the NIR-II region. Here, we report on Mn-doped Ba(PO)Cl nanoparticles (BPCl:Mn NPs, < 50 nm) toward NIR-II temperature sensing. BPCl:Mn NPs are made by a two-step (hydrothermal and anion exchange) method. XRD, SEM, and TEM results showed that the as-prepared BPCl:Mn NPs show high crystallinity, uniform size, and sphere-like morphology. The nanoparticles exhibit a broad excitation band of 500-850 nm and a temperature-sensitive peak emission at 1175 nm in the NIR-II range. NIR-II temperature sensing by E emission intensity is demonstrated with good linear fitting ( = 0.9895), high sensitivity (2.30% at 373 K), and good repeatability (99.0%). Thus, our study provides a path to develop a new NIR-II thermometer based on tetrahedral Mn(V) coordination.

Open-shell radical materials, which are characterized by unpaired electrons, have led to revolutionary breakthroughs in material science due to their unique optoelectronic properties. However, the involvement of organic radicals in photodynamic therapy (PDT) has rarely been reported or discussed. This work studies two photosensitizer analogs.

Fluorescence thermometry based on metal halide perovskites is increasingly becoming a hotspot due to its advantages of high detection sensitivity, noninvasiveness, and fast response time. However, it still presents certain technical challenges in practical applications, such as complex synthesis methods, the use of toxic solvents, and being currently mainly based on the visible/first near-infrared light with poor penetration and severe autofluorescence. In this study, we synthesize the second near-infrared (NIR-II) luminescent crystals based on Yb/Nd-doped zero-dimensional CsScCl·HO by a simple "dissolve-dry" method.

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).

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising treatment strategy for malignant tumors. Photothermal agents which can achieve efficient photothermal conversion in the NIR-II region plays crucial roles in this remedy. Here, we report one type of thermo-responsive gold nanorod vesicles USGRV-17-AAG for combined NIR-II photothermal therapy and chemotherapy of solid tumors.
