Near infrared mechanoluminescence (NIR-ML) materials have attracted the attention of researchers due to their unique advantages, such as high resistance to bright-field interference and higher penetration depth into biological tissues. However, the reported NIR-ML materials are mainly rare-ion-activated narrow-band emitters. In this work, we report a NIR-ML material of BaGaO:Cr by a solid state reaction method. Broad NIR ML (650-1000 nm) is observed at lower force loads (12 N), which is based on the Cr ion's multi-lattice site occupation. After heat treatment at 573 K for 20 min, BaGaO:Cr still maintains 84.4% of its ML intensity. Furthermore, the ML intensity of BaGaO:Cr is also significantly improved after UV pre-irradiation. Due to the defective piezoelectric photonic effect, BaGaO:Cr has great self-recoverable properties even in the absence of UV and sunlight irradiation. Finally, the ML penetration rate of BaGaO:Cr has reached as high as 66.97% in biological tissues, which suggests potential prospects for biostress detection towards bio-imaging applications.

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.

Near-infrared (NIR) light is promising for bioimaging and information technology due to its high penetration ability and resistance to interference with environmental radiation. Here, a new class of lanthanide-doped SrZnOSe crystals are developed for the self-sustainable generation of NIR emissions under mechanical excitation. It is shown that the SrZnOSe crystals render ≈5-fold stronger NIR emissions than the well-established CaZnOS due to the low phonon energies of the selenide host, as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy.

Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials, known for their ability to convert mechanical energy into light, are increasingly recognized for their potential applications, such as in intelligent stress sensing, in vivo bioimaging, and stress non-destructive monitoring. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and narrow-band emission of single-defect-induced ML materials usually limit their biological-related practical applications. Here, these limitations will be addressed by modulating the microstructure evolution in YGaMgSiO:Cr through the [Si+Mg] → [Ga+Ga] chemical substitution strategy.
