The exploitation and utilization of resources in marine environments have ignited a demand for advanced illumination and optical communication technologies. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), heralded as "green lighting sources", offer a compelling solution to ...
Near‐infrared (NIR) light sources hold great potential for applications in night vision illumination, bio‐imaging, and non‐destructive testing. However, radiationless de‐activation and low absorption restrict the development of high‐efficiency blue light e ...
Full-visible-spectrum emission phosphors are promising candidates for next-generation white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), overcoming the complex and high costs of traditional mixed phosphors. However, their practical application is hindered by low lumines ...
Luminescence lifetime is a crucial parameter in photophysical studies that bears essential physical and chemical information and that is used to quantify a variety of phenomena, from the determination of quenching mechanisms to temperature sensing and bioi ...
The quest for artificial light sources mimicking sunlight has been a long-standing endeavor, particularly for applications in anticounterfeiting, agriculture, and color hue detection. Conventional sunlight simulators are often cost-prohibitive and bulky. T ...
Previously limited to highly symmetrical homoleptic triple-helical complexes [Er(Lk)3]3+, where Lk are polyaromatic tridentate ligands, single-center molecular-based upconversion using linear optics and exploiting the excited-state absorption mechanism (ES ...
Bioorthogonal chemistry is a rising field investigating chemical reactions in physiological environments with high specificity. However, only very few examples concern the real-time monitoring of bioorthogonal reactions by luminescence or magnetic relaxivi ...
The demand for near-infrared (700–1,700 nm) materials in optical communications, laser sources and biological imaging applications has led to extensive research on lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, owing to their nanostructure modulation and interface proper ...
Metal-halide perovskites-based optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), are transitioning from promising performers to direct competitors to well-established technologies due to the advantage of cost-effectiveness. Pero ...
Among the 14 lanthanide elements (Ce-Lu), until recently, the tetravalent oxidation state was readily accessible in solution only for cerium while Pr(iv), Nd(iv), Dy(iv) and Tb(iv) had only been detected in the solid state. The triphenylsiloxide ligand rec ...
