Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) materials are attractive multifunctional-material-platforms to real-time-required studies and applications in chemistry biomedicine. However, the inefficient charging by low-irradiance, noncoherent, high-tissue-penetration red–NIR light restricts their developments situ, such as long-term tracking, whole-body, deep-tissue bioimaging. To address this issue, we develop a novel Cr3+-activated Na0.5Gd0.5TiO3 NIR-PersL material with perovskite...

However, novel Sm3+-doped Ca2TbSn2Al3O12 (CTSAO) phosphor reported here seems to be an exception. In series CTSAO:xSm3+ phosphors investigated, something unexpected occurs; activator, Sm3+, did not gain any compensation from sensitizer, Tb3+, when temperature increases. Instead, loss Sm3+ accelerates, simultaneously, Tb3+ accordingly alleviates. By careful calculations on ET...
