Currently, static fluorescent anti-counterfeiting technology struggles to cope with the increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting techniques, making the dynamic multimode regulation scheme an urgent necessity. Herein,  Sm3+ mono-/co-doped LiTaO3 (LTO) phosphors are prepared by high temperature solid state method. Under 254 nm excitation, the emission chromaticity of LTO: Tb3+, Sm3+ is modulated from green to yellow by increasing Sm3+ content due to Tb3+ → Sm3+ energy transfer. The diverging luminescence thermal stability of LTO: Tb3+ and LTO: Sm3+ is uncovered, which is governed by their distinct vacuum-referenced binding energy (VRBE) levels and charge compensation mechanisms. Based on the time-domain difference between the trap-assisted afterglow of Tb3+ and the photoluminescence of Sm3+, a dynamic anti-counterfeiting pattern that changes from green to orange over time is designed. This work provides a novel material design strategy for time-resolved color signatures and multi-modal dynamic optical encryption.

There is a persistent need for effective sensors to detect rare earth element ions (REEIs) due to their effects on human health and the environment. Thus, a simple and efficient fluorescence-based detection method for REEIs that offers convenience, flexibility, versatility, and efficiency is essential for ensuring environmental safety, food quality, and biomedical applications. In this study, 6-aza-2-thiothymine-gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs) and bovine serum albumin/3-mercaptopropionic acid-AuNCs (BSA/MPA-AuNCs) were utilized to detect 14 REEIs (Sc, Gd, Lu, Y, Ce, Pr, Yb, Dy, Tm, Sm, Ho, Tb, La, and Eu), resulting in the creation of a simple, sensitive, and multi-target fluorescence sensor array detection platform.
