Persistent luminescence phosphors (PLPs) are largely used in biomedical areas owing to their unique advantages in reducing the autofluorescence and light-scattering interference from tissues. Moreover, PLPs with long-lived luminescence in the near-infrared (NIR) region are able to be applied in deep-tissue bioimaging or therapy due to the reduced light absorption of tissues in NIR region. Because of their abundant election levels and energy transfer channels, lanthanides are widely doped in PLPs for the generation of NIR persistent emissions. In addition, the crystal defects introduced by lanthanides-doping can serves as charge traps in PLPs, which contributes to the enhancement of persistent luminescence intensity and the increase of persistent time. In this paper, the research progress in the synthesis and biomedical applications of lanthanides-doped PLPs with NIR emissions are systematically summarized, which can provide instructions for the design and applications of PLPs in the future.

By utilizing efficient persistent energy transfer from Ce3+ to Er3+, we have successfully developed a novel garnet persistent phosphor of Y3Al2Ga3O12 doped with Er3+, Ce3+, Cr3+ ions (YAGG:Er–Ce–Cr) exhibiting long (>10 h) near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence (PersL) in the broad range from 1450 nm to 1670 nm due to the typical Er3+:4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition in garnet.

Looking for upconverting biocompatible nanoparticles, we have prepared by the sol–gel method, silica–calcia glass nanopowders doped with different concentration of Tm3+ and Yb3+ ions (Tm3+ from 0.15 mol% up to 0.5 mol% and Yb3+ from 1 mol% up to 4 mol%) and characterized their structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated an amorphous phase of the silica-based glass with partial crystallization of samples with a higher content of lanthanides ions. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the average size of particles decreased with increasing lanthanides content. The upconversion (UC) emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes were registered under near infrared excitation (980 nm) at room temperature to study the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Tm3+ at various active ions concentrations. Characteristic emission bands of Tm3+ ions in the range of 350 nm to 850 nm were observed. To understand the mechanism of Yb3+–Tm3+ UC energy transfer in the SiO2–CaO powders, the kinetics of luminescence decays were studied.
