Organic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (OURTP) with a long-lived triplet excited state up to several seconds has triggered widespread research interests, but most OURTP materials are excited by only ultraviolet (UV) or blue light owing to their unique stabilized triplet- and solid-state emission feature. Here, we demonstrate that near-infrared- (NIR-) excitable OURTP molecules can be rationally designed by implanting intra/intermolecular charge transfer (CT) characteristics into H-aggregation to stimulate the efficient nonlinear multiphoton absorption (MPA). The resultant upconverted MPA-OURTP show ultralong lifetimes over 0.42 s and a phosphorescence quantum yield of ~37% under both UV and NIR light irradiation. Empowered by the extraordinary MPA-OURTP, novel applications including two-photon bioimaging, visual laser power detection and excitation, and lifetime multiplexing encryption devices were successfully realized. These discoveries illustrate not only a delicate design map for the construction of NIR-excitable OURTP materials but also insightful guidance for exploring OURTP-based nonlinear optoelectronic properties and applications.

In recent times, organelle-targeted drug delivery systems gained tremendous attention due to the site specific delivery of active drug molecules resulting in enhanced bioefficacy. In this context, the phototriggered drug delivery system (DDS) for releasing an active molecule is superior as it provides spatial and temporal control over the release. So far, near infrared (NIR) light responsive organelle targeted DDS has not yet been developed. Hence, we introduced a two-photon NIR-light responsive lysosome targeted ʽAIE + ESIPTʼ active single component DDS based on naphthalene chromophore. The Two-photon absorption cross-section of our DDS is 142 GM at 850 nm. The DDS was converted into pure organic nanoparticles for biological applications. Our nano-DDS is capable of selective targeting, AIE-luminogenic imaging, and drug release within the lysosome. In vitro studies using cancerous cell lines showed that our single component photoresponsive nanocarrier exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity and real-time monitoring ability of the drug release.

Small energy gap boosts dual-channel triplet harvesting via TADF and UOP, which suppresses long-lived triplet concentration quenching. An infrared laser (808 nm) is able to induce persistent emission under ambient conditions.

In the current research, p-type Si/n-type nanocrystalline FeSi2 heterojunctions were fabricated at room temperature with an argon pressure of 2.66×10−1 Pa by means of the utilization of a radiofrequency magnetron sputtering technique. These heterojunctions were studied for the carrier transportation mechanism and near-infrared (NIR) light detection at various temperatures ranging from 300 K down to 150 K. At 300 K, the fabricated heterojunctions displayed a typical rectifying action together with substantial leakage current. At 150 K, the leakage current was clearly reduced by greater than four orders of magnitude. The value of the ideality factor (n) at 300 K was computed to be 1.87 and this was nearly constant under temperatures ranging from 300 down to 260 K. This implies that a recombination process was predominant. At temperatures lower than 250 K, the value of n was found to be more than 2. These results demonstrated that the carrier transportation mechanism was governed by a tunnelling process. A weak response for the irradiation of NIR light was observed at 300 K. At 150 K, the ratio of the photocurrent to the dark current evidently increased by more than two orders of magnitude. The detectivity at 150 K was 4.84×1010 cm Hz1/2 W−1 at zero bias voltage, which was clearly improved as compared to that at 300 K.

AbstractOrganic near-infrared room temperature phosphorescence materials have unparalleled advantages in bioimaging due to their excellent penetrability. However, limited by the energy gap law, the near-infrared phosphorescence materials (>650 nm) are very rare, moreover, the phosphorescence lifetimes of these materials are very short. In this work, we have obtained organic room temperature phosphorescence materials with long wavelengths (600/657–681/732 nm) and long lifetimes (102–324 ms) for the first time through the guest-host doped strategy. The guest molecule has sufficient conjugation to reduce the lowest triplet energy level and the host assists the guest in exciton transfer and inhibits the non-radiative transition of guest excitons. These materials exhibit good tissue penetration in bioimaging. Thanks to the characteristic of long lifetime and long wavelength emissive phosphorescence materials, the tumor imaging in living mice with a signal to background ratio value as high as 43 is successfully realized. This work provides a practical solution for the construction of organic phosphorescence materials with both long wavelengths and long lifetimes.
