Compared to fluorescence imaging with short-lived emissive probes, the use of phosphorescent probes conveys advantage long signal persistance in time and this permits one discriminate against interference from autofluorescence. However, realization room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) that feature ultralong emission lifetimes aqueous solution is still a challenge. Here, we present rational strategy for realizing RTP air-saturated media carbon dot-based silica composites (CDs@SiO2) which as 1.64 s. The excellent properties, their small size, water solubility make CDs@SiO2 promising material biological application. We demonstrate efficient reporters both plant tissue animal cells where strong autofluorescence poses severe challenge conventional, short-lifetime probes.

Abstract Current fluorescence‐based anti‐counterfeiting strategies primarily encode information onto single 2D planes and underutilize the possibility of encrypting data inside 3D structures to achieve multistage security. Herein, a fluorescent‐hydrogel‐based platform is demonstrated, which extends encryption capability from complex hydrogel origami geometries. The materials are based on perylene‐tetracarboxylic‐acid‐functionalized gelatin/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels, simultaneously show Fe 3+ ‐responsive fluorescence quenching, borax‐triggered shape memory, self‐healing properties. By employing an technique, various geometries facilely fabricated. On basis these results, in printed by using as ink safely protected structures. In this way, encrypted cannot be read until after specially predesigned procedures (both recovery UV light illumination actions), indicating higher‐level security than traditional counterparts. This facile general strategy opens up utilizing fluorescent for protection.

Abstract Monitoring of wound pH is critical for interpreting status, because early identification infection or nonhealing wounds conducive to administion therapies at the right time. Here, novel orange‐emissive carbon quantum dots (O‐CDs) are synthesized via microwave‐assisted heating 1,2,4‐triaminobenzene and urea aqueous solution. The as‐prepared O‐CDs exhibit distinctive colorimetric response changing, also display pH‐sensitive fluorescence. Benefiting from over a wound‐relevant range (5–9), medical cotton cloth selected immobilize through hydrogen bond interactions, resultant O‐CDs‐coated with emission 560 nm shows high variation in 5–9 both fluorescence visible changes. Moreover, sensitivity capable establishing an analytical mode determining value. Further, O‐CDs‐based indicator possesses not only superior biocompatibility drug compatibility but excellent resistance leachability reversibility. Importantly, usage detect free interference blood contamination long‐term storage, thus providing valuable strategy monitoring visual quantitative determination.

Circular polarized luminescence (CPL) is essential to chiral sciences and photonic technologies, but the achievement of circular room-temperature phosphorescence (CPRTP) remains a great challenge due instability triplet state excitons. Herein, we found that dual CPL CPRTP were demonstrated by hybrid films designed coassembly cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), carbon dots (CDs). Tunable band gaps achieved regulating ratio CNC/PVA in films, leading tunable with invertible handedness, wavelengths, considerable dissymmetric factors (glum) up −0.27. In particularly, excitons produced CDs stable crystal environment, resulting right-handed long lifetimes 103 ms large RTP (gRTP) −0.47. Moreover, patterned multiple features mold technique.
