Stimuli-responsive ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials that in response to external factors such as light, heat, and atmosphere have raised a tremendous research interest in fields of optoelectronics, anticounterfeiting labeling, biosensing, and bioimaging. However, for practical applications in life and health fields, some fundamental requirements such as biocompatibility and biodegradability are still challenging for conventional inorganic and aromatic-based stimuli-responsive UOP systems. Herein, an edible excipient, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCC), of which UOP properties exhibit intrinsically multistimuli responses to excited wavelength, pressure, and moisture, is reported. Impressively, as a UOP probe, SCC enables nondestructive detection of hardness with superb contrast (signal-to-background ratio up to 120), while exhibiting a response sensitivity to moisture that is more than 5.0 times higher than that observed in conventional fluorescence. Additionally, its applicability for hardness monitoring and high-moisture warning for tablets containing a moisture-sensitive drug, with the quality of the drug being determinable through the naked-eye visible UOP, is demonstrated. This work not only elucidates the reason for stimulative corresponding properties in SCC but also makes a major step forward in extending the potential applications of stimuli-responsive UOP materials in manufacturing high-quality and safe medicine.

Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescent (URTP) materials have garnered significant attention in anti-counterfeiting, optoelectronic displays, and bio-imaging due to their unique optical properties. However, most URTP materials exhibit weak emission or are quenched in aqueous solutions. This study proposes a simple and effective strategy for preparing full-color aqueous URTP materials using a one-step microwave method.

Aqueous Zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) are widely viewed as promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, they encounter great challenges such as grievous polyiodides shuttle and sluggish iodine (I) redox reaction kinetics, thus undesirable cycling performance. Here a high-performance ZIB with an ultra-long lifespan is reported through the rational I cathode catalyst design.

The success of achieving scale-up deployment of zinc ion batteries is to selectively regulate the rapid and dendrite-free growth of zinc anodes. Herein, this is proposed that a creative design strategy of constructing multi-functional separators (MFS) to stabilize the zinc anodes. By in situ decorating metal-organic-framework coating on commercial glass fiber, the upgraded separator is of remarkable benefit for strong anion (SO ) anchoring, uniform ion flux across the interface, and boosted Zn desolvation.
