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.

The discussion to strategies of enhancing excitation absorption and emission efficiency, spotlighting innovations like dye sensitization and surface plasmon resonance effects is then extended. Subsequently, a significant focus is placed on functionalization strategies and their applications. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and proposed strategies for rare earth/transition metal ion-doped near-infrared luminescent materials, summarizing the insights of each section is provided.

Abstract
The groundbreaking development of lanthanide-doped core-shell nanostructures have successfully achieved precise optical tuning of rare-earth nanocrystals, leading to significant improvements in energy transfer efficiency and facilitating multifunctional integration. Exploring the atomic-level structural, physical, and optical properties of rare-earth core-shell nanocrystals is essential for advancing our understanding of their fundamental principles and driving the development of emerging applications. However, our knowledge of the atomic-level structural details of rare-earth nanocrystal core-shell structures remains limited. This review provides a comprehensive discussion of synthesis strategies, characterization techniques, interfacial ion-mixing phenomena, strain effects, and spectral modulation in core-shell structures of rare-earth-doped nanocrystals. Additionally, we prospectively discuss the challenges encountered in studying the fine structures of rare-earth-doped core-shell nanocrystals, particularly the increasing demand for researchers to integrate interdisciplinary knowledge and utilize high-end precision instruments.

Abstract
Antibiotic detection is crucial and challenging because the widespread consumption of antibiotics has shown extensive harmful effects on food, environment and human health. Here, we propose highly water-soluble and biocompatible hyaluronic acid (HYA) functionalized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for ratiometric detection of multiple antibiotics. The ultraviolet upconversion luminescence (UCL) from UCNPs was significantly quenched by nitrofurazone (NFZ)/nitrofurantoin (NFT), and blue UCL was quenched by doxorubicin (DOX), while red UCL remained unchanged for internal reference. The UCNPs-HYA nanoprobes exhibit excellently sensitive and selective NFZ, NFT and DOX detection in linear range of 2.5-100 μM, 2.5-80 μM, and 2.5-200 μM with the LOD at 0.28 μM (55 μg/kg), 0.20 μM (48 μg/kg) and 0.17 μM (97 μg/kg), respectively. The nanoprobes achieved detecting real samples of NFZ in lake water, liquid milk and chicken meat with satisfactory results, and UCL bioimaging of DOX in HeLa cells. The UCNPs-HYA ratiometric nanoprobes are promising for food samples detection and potential biosensing in the cellular environment.

Abstract
Smart control of ionic interaction dynamics offers new possibilities for tuning and editing luminescence properties of lanthanide-based materials. However, it remains a daunting challenge to achieve the dynamic control of cross relaxation mediated photon upconversion, and in particular the involved intrinsic photophysics is still unclear. Herein, this work reports a conceptual model to realize the color-switchable upconversion of Tm3+ through spatiotemporal control of cross relaxation in the design of NaYF4 :Gd@NaYbF4 :Tm@NaYF4 sandwich nanostructure. It shows that cross relaxation plays a key role in modulating upconversion dynamics and tuning emission colors of Tm3+ . Interestingly, it is found that there is a short temporal delay for the occurrence of cross relaxation in contrast to the spontaneous emission as a result of the slight energy mismatch between relevant energy levels. This further enables a fine emission color tuning upon non-steady state excitation. Moreover, a characteristic quenching time is proposed to describe the temporal evolution of cross relaxation quantitatively. These findings present a deep insight into the physics of ionic interactions in heavy doping systems, and also show great promise in frontier applications including information security, anti-counterfeiting and nanophotonics.

Abstract
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have been developed as promising strategies for secure authentication. Conventional strategies of PUFs have a limitation in the aspect of security for their static single channel. The introduction of polarization will endow a static PUF with many dynamic transformations based on polarized properties. Herein, high-security PUFs based on the polarized luminescence of chaotic luminescent patterns are fabricated by anisotropic rare earth (RE) material Er3O4Cl flakes. These derivatives under different polarizations show strong randomness (with similarity of the same PUF as high as 97%, while that for different PUFs is as low as 44%), which further widens the security and capacity of PUFs. Polarized luminescence control of Er3O4Cl patterns gives freedom to the PUFs and ensures a high encoding capacity of 2380000. Furthermore, we build a convolutional neural network (CNN) to realize fast intelligent authentication by extracting image features for convolution operation with a very high accuracy of 99.8% and fast classification speed in only 5 epochs.

Abstract
Smart control of ionic interactions is a key factor to manipulate the luminescence dynamics of lanthanides and tune their emission colors. However, it remains challenging to gain a deep insight into the physics involving the interactions between heavily doped lanthanide ions and in particular between the lanthanide sublattices for luminescent materials. Here we report a conceptual model to selectively manipulate the spatial interactions between erbium and ytterbium sublattices by designing a multilayer core-shell nanostructure. The interfacial cross-relaxation is found to be a leading process to quench the green emission of Er3+, and red-to-green color-switchable upconversion is realized by fine manipulation of the interfacial energy transfer on the nanoscale. Moreover, the temporal control of up-transition dynamics can also lead to an observation of green emission due to its fast rise time. Our results demonstrate a new strategy to achieve orthogonal upconversion, showing great promise in frontier photonic applications.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate video-rate color three-dimensional (3D) volumetric displays using elemental-migration-assisted full-color-tunable upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In the heavily doped NaErF4:Tm-based core@multishell UCNPs, erbium migration was observed. By tailoring this migration through adjustment of the intermediate shell thickness between the core and the sensitizer-doped second shell, red-green orthogonal upconversion luminescence (UCL) was achieved. Furthermore, highly efficient red-green-blue orthogonal UCL and full-color tunability were achieved in the UCNPs through a combination of elemental-migration-assisted color tuning and selective photon blocking. Finally, 3D volumetric displays were fabricated using a UCNP-polydimethylsiloxane composite. More specifically, 3D color images were created and motion pictures based on the expansion, rotation, and up/down movement of the displayed images were realized in the display matrix. Overall, our study provides new insights into upconversion color tuning and the achievement of motion pictures in the UCNP-polydimethylsiloxane composite is expected to accelerate the further development of solid-state full-color 3D volumetric displays.

Abstract
The attractive features of lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescence (UCL), such as high photostability, nonphotobleaching or photoblinking, and large anti-Stokes shift, have shown great potentials in life science, information technology, and energy materials. Therefore, UCL modulation is highly demanded toward expected emission wavelength, lifetime, and relative intensity in order to satisfy stringent requirements raised from a wide variety of areas. Unfortunately, the majority of efforts have been devoted to either simple codoping of multiple activators or variation of hosts, while very little attention has been paid to the critical role that sensitizers have been playing. In fact, different sensitizers possess different excitation wavelengths and different energy transfer pathways (to different activators), which will lead to different UCL features. Thus, rational design of sensitizers shall provide extra opportunities for UCL tuning, particularly from the excitation side. In this review, we specifically focus on advances in sensitizers, including the current status, working mechanisms, design principles, as well as future challenges and endeavor directions.

Abstract
Thermal activation of upconversion luminescence in nanocrystals opens up new opportunities in biotechnology and nanophotonics. However, it remains a daunting challenge to achieve a smart control of luminescence behavior in the thermal field with remarkable enhancement and ultrahigh sensitivity. Moreover, the physical picture involved is also debatable. Here we report a novel mechanistic design to realize an ultrasensitive thermally activated upconversion in an erbium sublattice core-shell nanostructure. By enabling a thermosensitive property into the intermediate 4I11/2 level of Er3+ through an energy-migration-mediated surface interaction, the upconverted luminescence was markedly enhanced in the thermal field together with a striking thermochromic feature under 1530 nm irradiation. Importantly, the use of non thermally coupled red and green emissions contributes to the thermal sensitivity up to 5.27% K-1, 3 times higher than that obtained by using conventional thermally coupled green emissions. We further demonstrate that the controllable surface interaction is a general approach to the thermal enhancement of upconversion for a series of lanthanide-based nanomaterials. Our findings pave a new way for the development of smart luminescent materials toward emerging applications such as noncontact nanothermometry, information security, and anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
Here we report a new strategy to tune both excitation and emission peaks of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into the first infrared biowindow (NIR-I, 650-900 nm) with high NIR-I-to-NIR-I upconversion efficiency. By introducing the sensitizer Nd3+ , activator Er3+ , energy migrator Yb3+ and energy manipulator Mn2+ into specific region to construct proposed energy migration processes in the designed core-shell-shell nanoarchitecture, back energy transfer (BET) from activator to sensitizer or migrator can be greatly blocked and the NIR-to-red upconversion emission can be efficiently promoted. Consequently, BET-induced photon quenching and the undesired green-emitting radiative transition are entirely eliminated, leading to high-efficiency single-band red upconversion emission upon 808 nm NIR-I laser excitation. Our findings provide insights into fundamental lanthanide interactions and advance the development of UCNPs for bioapplications with techniques that overturn traditional limitations.

Abstract
Combating the concentration quenching effect by increasing the concentration of sensitized rare-earth ions in rational design upconversion nanostructure will make it easier to utilize injection energy flux and transfer it to emitters, resulting in improved upconversion luminescence (UCL). We proposed a host-sensitized nanostructure (active core@luminescent shell@inert shell) to improve multiphoton UCL of Tm3+ based on the LiLnF4 host. Yb3+ ions were isolated in the core as energy absorbents, and Tm3+ was doped in the interior LiYbF4 host shell. Compared with sandwich structured nanocrystals (Y@Y:Yb/Tm@Y), reverse structure (YbTm@Yb@Y), and fully doped structure (YbTm@YbTm@Y), the proposed structure achieved the highest efficiency of multiphoton UCL and favored a better FRET-based application performance as the Tm3+ located at an optimized spatial distribution. Furthermore, steady-state and dynamic analysis results demonstrate that by manipulating the spatial distribution of the active ions, excited energy can be tuned to enable multiphoton upconversion enhancement, overcoming the conventional limitations.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been explored in glioblastomas as they can traverse the blood-brain barrier and target glioblastoma selectively. However, direct observation of nanoparticle trafficking into glioblastoma cells and their underlying intracellular fate after systemic administration remains uncharacterized. Here, based on high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments of an intracranial glioblastoma model, it is shown that ligand-modified nanoparticles can traverse the blood-brain barrier, endocytose into the lysosomes of glioblastoma cells, and undergo endolysosomal escape upon photochemical ionization. Moreover, an optimal dose of metronomic chemotherapy using dual-drug-loaded nanocarriers can induce an augmented antitumor effect directly on tumors, which has not been recognized in previous studies. Metronomic chemotherapy enhances antitumor effects 3.5-fold compared with the standard chemotherapy regimen using the same accumulative dose in vivo. This study provides a conceptual framework that can be used to develop metronomic nanoparticle regimens as a safe and viable therapeutic strategy for treating glioblastomas and other advanced-stage solid tumors.

Abstract
Fluorescence lifetime imaging provides more possibility of in vivo multiplexing in second near infrared (NIR-II) window. However, it still faces the obstacle that fluorescent probes with differentiable lifetime often exhibit quite different fluorescence intensity, especially the short lifetime usually accompanies with a weak fluorescence intensity, resulting in the difficulty for simultaneously decoding multiplexed lifetime information due to the interference of background noise. To facilitate high-fidelity lifetime multiplexed imaging, we developed a series of Er3+ doped double interface fluorescent nanoprobes (Er-DINPs): α-NaYF4 @NaErF4 : Ce@NaYbF4 @NaErF4 : Ce@NaYF4 with strong fluorescence intensity and easily distinguishable fluorescence lifetime. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results confirmed the advantage of these probes with comparable fluorescence intensity for high-fidelity multiplexed lifetime bioimaging.

Abstract
Developing advanced luminescent materials and techniques is of significant importance for anti-counterfeiting applications, and remains a huge challenge. In this work, a new and efficient approach for achieving efficient dual-mode luminescence with tunable color outputs via Gd3+ -mediated interfacial energy transfer, Ce3+ -assisted cross-relaxation, and core-shell nanostructuring strategy is reported. The introduction of Ce3+ into the inner core not only serves the regulation of upconversion emission, but also facilitates the ultraviolet photon harvesting and subsequent energy transfer to downshifting (DS) activators in the outer shell layer. Furthermore, the construction of the core@shell nanoarchitecture enables the spatial separation of upconverting activators and DS centers, which greatly suppresses their adverse cross-relaxation processes. Consequently, efficient and multicolor-tunable dual-mode emissions can be simultaneously observed in the pre-designed NaGdF4 :Yb/Ho/Ce@NaYF4 :X (X = Eu, Tb, Sm, Dy) core-shell nanostructures under 254 nm ultraviolet light and 980 nm laser excitation. The proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates that 2D-encoded patterns based on dual-mode emitting nanomaterials are very promising for anti-counterfeiting applications. It is believed that this preliminary study will advance the development of the fluorescent materials for potential applications in anti-counterfeiting and optical multiplexing.

Abstract
Luminescent nanoparticles with dual-mode long-lived luminescence are of great importance for their attractive applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and data encoding. Herein, we report the realization of up- and downconversion emission of Mn2+ dopants in multilayer nanoparticles of NaGdF4:Yb/Tm@NaGdF4:Ce/Mn@NaYF4 upon excitation at 980 and 254 nm, respectively. The dual-mode emission of the Mn2+ dopants at 531 nm have a long-lived lifetime up to ∼30 ms as a result of the spin-forbidden optical transition of Mn2+ within the 3d5 configuration. After ceasing steady excitation at the two wavelengths, the long-lived feature of Mn2+ luminescence allows a longer persistent time than lanthanide emissions, thereby enabling the ease of data decoding by a cell phone camera under a burst mode. The long-lived green upconversion emission also permits the generation of a long green tail emission upon dynamic excitation at 980 nm. These attributes make the as-prepared Mn2+-doped multilayer nanoparticles particularly attractive for multilevel anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
In vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) affords deep-tissue penetration and high spatial resolution. Herein, we present a new type of Tm3+ -sensitized lanthanide nanocrystals with both excitation (1208 nm) and emission (1525 nm) located in the NIR-II window for in vivo optical information storage and decoding. Taking advantage of the tunable fluorescence lifetimes, the optical multiplexed encoding capacity is enhanced accordingly. Micro-devices with QR codes featuring the NIR-II fluorescence-lifetime multiplexed encoding were implanted into mice and were successfully decoded through time-gated fluorescence imaging technology.
