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.

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)....

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 CO, CN, NO) 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...
