Persistent Luminescence: In Vivo Repeatedly Charging Near‐Infrared‐Emitting Mesoporous SiO2/ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ Persistent Luminescence Nanocomposites (Adv. Sci. 3/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence is an exciting phenomenon in which phosphors can continue to emit photons for weeks after excitation ceases. In article number 1500001, Gang Han and co-workers report a simple, one-step mesoporous template method for creating NIR-emitting nanocomposites based on zinc and gallium. The authors find that the persistent luminescence of the nanocomposites could be repeatedly recharged using white light from a light-emitting diode (LED) in both a simulated deep-tissue environment and a live mouse model. This concept paves the way to application of such nanocomposites in the fields of photonics and biophotonics.
