Enabling Multimodal Luminescence in a Single Nanoparticle for X-ray Imaging Encryption and Anticounterfeiting.
Nano letters(2024)
Abstract
Multimodal luminescent materials hold great promise in a diversity of frontier applications. However, achieving the multimodal responsive luminescence at the single nanoparticle level, especially besides light stimuli, has remained a challenge. Here, we report a conceptual model to realize multimodal luminescence by constructing both mechanoluminescence and photoluminescence in a single nanoparticle. We show that the lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles are able to produce excellent mechanoluminescence through X-ray irradiation, and color-tunable mechanoluminescence becomes available by selecting suitable lanthanide emitters in a core-shell-shell structure. Furthermore, the design of a multilayer core-shell nanostructure enables multimodal emissions including radioluminescence, persistent luminescence, mechanoluminescence, upconversion, downshifting, and thermal-stimulated luminescence simultaneously in a single nanoparticle under multichannel excitation and stimuli. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of X-ray induced mechanoluminescence in nanocrystals and contribute to the development of smart luminescent materials toward X-ray imaging encryption, stress sensing, and anticounterfeiting.
