Abstract Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) allows visualization of deep anatomical features with an unprecedented degree clarity. NIR-II fluorophores draw from a broad spectrum materials spanning semiconducting nanomaterials to organic molecular dyes, yet unfortunately all water-soluble molecules >1,000 nm emission suffer low quantum yields that have limited temporal resolution and penetration depth. Here, we report tailoring supramolecular assemblies...
Abstract Polymer carbon dots (PCDs) are proposed as a new class of room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials. The abundant energy levels in PCDs increase the probability intersystem crossing (ISC) and their covalently crosslinked framework structures greatly suppress nonradiative transitions. efficient methods allow manufacture with unique RTP properties air without additional metal complexation or complicated matrix composition. They thus provide route towards rational design...
Abstract In vivo fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared region between 1500–1700 nm (NIR-IIb window) affords high spatial resolution, deep-tissue penetration, and diminished auto-fluorescence due to suppressed scattering of long-wavelength photons large fluorophore Stokes shifts. However, very few NIR-IIb fluorescent probes exist currently. Here, we report synthesis a down-conversion luminescent rare-earth nanocrystal with cerium doping (Er/Ce co-doped NaYbF 4 core an inert NaYF shell)....
Organic fluorophores have been widely used for biological imaging in the visible and first near-infrared windows. However, their application second window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) is still limited mainly due to low fluorescence quantum yields (QYs).

Thiophene introduced as connected unit, which can increase...
Abstract A new type of fluorescent material is presented, which called non‐conjugated polymer dots (NCPDs). The NCPDs only possess sub‐fluorophores (which are groups such as CO, CN, NO) instead typical conjugated fluorophore groups, and thus these materials should not have strong photoluminescence (PL) in the usual sense. Nevertheless, PL can be enhanced by chemical crosslinking or physical immobilization chains, named crosslink‐enhanced emission (CEE) effect. significant advances...

When the size and structure graphene were controlled properly, photoluminescence was induced graphene, resulting so-called (FG). FG has size-, defect-, wavelength-dependent luminescence emission, which is similar to traditional semiconductor-based quantum dots. Moreover, with excellent chemical stability, fine biocompatibility, low toxicity,...
Abstract Fluorescence imaging of biological systems in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) window has shown promise high spatial resolution, low background, and deep tissue penetration owing to autofluorescence suppressed scattering long wavelength photons. Here we develop a bright organic nanofluorophore (named p-FE) for high-performance NIR-II window. The >1100 nm fluorescence emission from p-FE affords non-invasive vivo tracking blood flow mouse brain vessels. Excitingly,...
Abstract Development of high‐performance carbon dots (CDs) with emission wavelength longer than 660 nm (deep red emission) is critical in deep‐tissue bioimaging, yet it still a major challenge to obtain CDs both narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) and high deep red/near‐infrared yield.
