LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2024; 13:85. [PMID: 38589343 PMCID: PMC11001961 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01421-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
Organic mechanoluminescence materials, featuring dual emission and ultralong phosphorescence characteristics, exhibit significant potential for applications in real-time stress sensing, pressure-sensitive lighting, advanced security marking techniques, and material breakage monitoring. However, due to immature molecular design strategies and unclear luminescence mechanisms, these materials remain rarely reported. In this study, we propose a valuable molecular design strategy to achieve dual-channel mechano-phosphorescence. By introducing the arylphosphine oxide group into a highly twisted molecular framework, enhanced intra- and intermolecular interactions could be achieved within rigid structures, leading to dual-channel mechanoluminescence with greatly promoted ultralong phosphorescence. Further investigations reveal the substantial boosting effect of intra- and intermolecular interactions on mechanoluminescence and ultralong phosphorescence properties by locking the highly twisted molecular skeleton. This work provides a concise and guiding route to develop novel smart responsive luminescence materials for widespread applications in material science.

Abstract
X-ray radiation information storage, characterized by its ability to detect radiation with delayed readings, shows great promise in enabling reliable and readily accessible X-ray imaging and dosimetry in situations where conventional detectors may not be feasible. However, the lack of specific strategies to enhance the memory capability dramatically hampers its further development. Here, we present an effective anion substitution strategy to enhance the storage capability of NaLuF4:Tb3+ nanocrystals attributed to the increased concentration of trapping centers under X-ray irradiation. The stored radiation information can be read out as optical brightness via thermal, 980 nm laser, or mechanical stimulation, avoiding real-time measurement under ionizing radiation. Moreover, the radiation information can be maintained for more than 13 days, and the imaging resolution reaches 14.3 lp mm-1. These results demonstrate that anion substitution methods can effectively achieve high storage capability and broaden the application scope of X-ray information storage.

Abstract
A bifunctional luminescent whitening and luminescent sensing composite material, BaMgAl12O17:Eu2+/polydimethylsiloxane (BAM/PDMS), that utilizes natural sunlight and mechanical energy is presented. By increasing the Eu2+ content, the photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectrum of the material shows a maximum redshift of 23 nm due to 5d level splitting of Eu2+, resulting in more spectral overlap with sunlight and an excellent PL whitening effect. Meanwhile, the self-recoverable mechanoluminescence (ML) of the material can be easily excited under mechanical stimuli due to contact electrification, exhibiting a unique stress sensing effect. Based on the unique features of PL whitening and ML sensing, the material is applied to model cars through a spray process, and the results demonstrate that the bifunctional BAM/PDMS material shows promising applications in automobile decoration.

Abstract
Strain sensors capable of recognizing the direction of strain are crucial in applications such as robot attitude adjustment and detection of strain states in complex structures. In this study, a sandwich-structured flexible biaxial strain sensor was developed using polydimethylsiloxane as the substrate, mechanoluminescent materials as the luminescent elements, and rubber-ink as the light-blocking layer. By correlating the emitted light color with the stretching state, precise identification of the applied strain direction is achieved. Additionally, the mechanoluminescence of the sensor is collected by a photodiode, generating photocurrent that can be analyzed. This provides a solution for practical applications of sensor.

Abstract
Organic mechanophores have been widely adopted for polymer mechanotransduction. However, most examples of polymer mechanotransduction inevitably experience macromolecular chain rupture, and few of them mimic mussel's mechanochemical regeneration, a mechanically mediated process from functional units to functional materials in a controlled manner. In this paper, inorganic mechanoluminescent (ML) materials composed of CaZnOS-ZnS-SrZnOS: Mn2+ were used as a mechanotransducer since it features both piezoelectricity and mechanolunimescence. The utilization of ML materials in polymerization enables both mechanochemically controlled radical polymerization and the synthesis of ML polymer composites. This procedure features a mechanochemically controlled manner for the design and synthesis of diverse mechanoresponsive polymer composites.

Abstract
Endowing a single material with various types of luminescence, that is, exhibiting a simultaneous optical response to different stimuli, is vital in various fields. A photoluminescence (PL)- and mechanoluminescence (ML)-based multifunctional sensing platform is built by combining heterojunctioned ZnS/CaZnOS:Mn2+ mechano-photonic materials using a 3D-printing technique and fiber spinning. ML-active particles are embedded in micrometer-sized cellulose fibers for flexible optical devices capable of emitting light driven by mechanical force. Individually modified 3D-printed hard units that exhibit intense ML in response to mechanical deformation, such as impact and friction, are also fabricated. Importantly, they also allow low-pressure sensing up to ≈100 bar, a range previously inaccessible by any other optical sensing technique. Moreover, the developed optical manometer based on the PL of the materials demonstrates a superior high-pressure sensitivity of ≈6.20 nm GPa-1 . Using this sensing platform, four modes of temperature detection can be achieved: excitation-band spectral shifts, emission-band spectral shifts, bandwidth broadening, and lifetime shortening. This work supports the possibility of mass production of ML-active mechanical and optoelectronic parts integrated with scientific and industrial tools and apparatus.

Abstract
Purpose Noninvasive cell-type-specific manipulation of neural signaling is critical in basic neuroscience research and in developing therapies for neurological disorders. Magnetic nanotechnologies have emerged as non-invasive neuromodulation approaches with high spatiotemporal control. We recently developed a wireless force-induced neurostimulation platform utilizing micro-sized magnetic discs (MDs) and low-intensity alternating magnetic fields (AMFs). When targeted to the cell membrane, MDs AMFs-triggered mechanoactuation enhances specific cell membrane receptors resulting in cell depolarization. Although promising, it is critical to understand the role of mechanical forces in magnetomechanical neuromodulation and their transduction to molecular signals for its optimization and future translation. Methods MDs are fabricated using top-down lithography techniques, functionalized with polymers and antibodies, and characterized for their physical properties. Primary cortical neurons co-cultured with MDs and transmembrane protein chemical inhibitors are subjected to 20 s pulses of weak AMFs (18 mT, 6 Hz). Calcium cell activity is recorded during AMFs stimulation. Results Neuronal activity in primary rat cortical neurons is evoked by the AMFs-triggered actuation of targeted MDs. Ion channel chemical inhibition suggests that magnetomechanical neuromodulation results from MDs actuation on Piezo1 and TRPC1 mechanosensitive ion channels. The actuation mechanisms depend on MDs size, with cell membrane stretch and stress caused by the MDs torque being the most dominant. Conclusions Magnetomechanical neuromodulation represents a tremendous potential since it fulfills the requirements of negligible heating (ΔT < 0.1 °C) and weak AMFs (< 100 Hz), which are limiting factors in the development of therapies and the design of clinical equipment.

Abstract
The development of real-time and accurate visual stress detection is crucial for the field of building engineering. Herein, a new strategy is explored for the development of novel cementitious materials by hierarchical aggregation smart luminescent material and resin-based material. The cementitious material with such layered structure is inherently capable of visualization of stress monitoring and recording by converting the stress to visible light. The specimen fabricated by the novel cementitious material could repetitively emit green visible light under excitation of a mechanical pulse for 10 cycles, suggesting that the cementitious material shows highly reproducible performance. Moreover, the numerical simulations and analysis for the models of stress indicate that the luminescent time is synchronous with the stress and the emission intensity is proportional to the value of stress. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that the cementitious material realizes visible stress monitoring and recording, which supplies new insights for exploring modern multi-functional building materials.

Abstract
Pervasive mechanical force in nature and human activities is closely related to intriguing physics and widespread applications. However, describing stress distribution timely and precisely in three dimensions to avoid "groping in the dark" is still a formidable challenge, especially for nonplanar structures. Herein, we realize three-dimensional (3D) stress imaging for sharp arbitrary targets via advanced 3D printing, owing to the use of fluoride nanocrystal(NC)-based ink. Notably, a fascinating mechano-luminescence (ML) is observed for the homogeneously dispersed NaLuF4:Tb3+ NCs (∼25 nm) with rationally designed deep traps (at 0.88 and 1.02 eV) via incorporating Cs+ ions and using X-ray irradiation. Carriers captured in the corresponding traps are steadily released under mechanical stimulations, which enables a ratio metric luminescence intensity based on the applied force. As a result, a significant mechano-optical conversion and superior optical waveguide of the corresponding transparent printed targets demonstrate stress in 3D with a high spatial and temporal resolution based on stereovision. These results highlight the optical function of the 3D-printed fluoride NCs, which cast light into the black boxes of stress described in space, benefiting us in understanding the ubiquitous force relevant to most natural and engineering processes.

Abstract
Organic mechanoluminescent (ML) materials possessing photophysical properties that are sensitive to multiple external stimuli have shown great potential in many fields, including optic and sensing. Particularly, the photoswitchable ML property for these materials is fundamental to their applications but remains a formidable challenge. Herein, photoswitchable ML is successfully realized by endowing reversible photochromic properties to an ML molecule, namely 2-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl) fluoropyridine (o-TPF). o-TPF shows both high-contrast photochromism with a distinct color change from white to purplish red, as well as bright blue ML (λML = 453 nm). The ML property can be repeatedly switched between ON and OFF states under alternate UV and visible light irradiation. Impressively, the photoswitchable ML is of high stability and repeatability. The ML can be reversibly switched on and off by conducting alternate UV and visible light irradiation in cycles under ambient conditions. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the change of dipole moment of o-TPF during the photochromic process is responsible for the photoswitchable ML. These results outline a fundamental strategy to achieve for the control of organic ML and pave the way to the development of expanded smart luminescent materials and their applications.

Abstract
Mechanical sensors execute multi-mode response to external force, which are cornerstones for applications in human-machine interactions and smart wearable equipments. Nevertheless, an integrated sensor responding to mechanical stimulation variables and providing the information of the corresponding signals, as velocity, direction, and stress distribution, remains a challenge. Herein, a Nafion@Ag@ZnS/polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) composite sensor is explored, which realizes the description of mechanical action via optics and electronics signals simultaneously. Combined with the mechano-luminescence (ML) originated from ZnS/PDMS and the flexoelectric-like effect of Nafion@Ag, the corresponding explored sensor achieves the detection of magnitude, direction, velocity, mode of mechanical stimulation, and the visualization of the stress distribution. Moreover, the outstanding cyclic stability, linearity response character, and rapid response time are demonstrated. Accordingly, the intelligent recognition and manipulation of a target are realized, which indicate a smarter human-machine interface sensing applied for wearable devices and mechanical arms can be expected.

Abstract
Wide-coverage near infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted LEDs possess promising potential for practical applications, but little is developed towards the efficient and wide-coverage NIR phosphors. Here, we report the single-component lanthanide (Ln3+ ) ions doped Cs2 M(In0.95 Sb0.05 )Cl6 (M=alkali metal) nanocrystals (NCs), exhibiting emission from 850 to 1650 nm with high photoluminescence quantum yield of 20.3 %, which is accomplished by shaping the multiple metal halide octahedra of double perovskite via the simple alkali metal substitution. From Judd-Ofelt theoretical calculation and spectroscopic investigations, the shaping of metal halide octahedra in Cs2 M(In1-x Sbx )Cl6 NCs can break the forbidden of f-f transition of Ln3+ , thus increasing their radiative transition rates and simultaneously boosting the energy transfer efficiency from host to Ln3+ . Finally, the wide-coverage NIR LEDs based on Sm3+ , Nd3+ , Er3+ -tridoped Cs2 K0.5 Rb0.5 (In0.95 Sb0.05 )Cl6 NCs are fabricated and employed in the multiplex gas sensing and night-vision application.

Abstract
A flexible mechanoluminophore device that is capable of converting mechanical energy into visualizable patterns through light-emission holds great promise in many applications, such as human-machine interfaces, Internet of Things, wearables, etc. However, the development has been very nascent, and more importantly, existing mechanoluminophore materials or devices emit light that cannot be discernible under ambient light, in particular with slight applied force or deformation. Here we report the development of a low-cost flexible organic mechanoluminophore device, which is constructed based on the multi-layered integration of a high-efficiency, high-contrast top-emitting organic light-emitting device and a piezoelectric generator on a thin polymer substrate. The device is rationalized based on a high-performance top-emitting organic light-emitting device design and maximized piezoelectric generator output through a bending stress optimization and have demonstrated that it is discernible under an ambient illumination as high as 3000 lux. A flexible multifunctional anti-counterfeiting device is further developed by integrating patterned electro-responsive and photo-responsive organic emitters onto the flexible organic mechanoluminophore device, capable of converting mechanical, electrical, and/or optical inputs into light emission and patterned displays.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials present widespread applications. Empirically, modulation for a given ML material is achieved by application of programmed mechanical actuation with different amplitude, repetition velocity and frequency. However, to date modulation on the ML is very limited within several to a few hundred hertz low-frequency actuation range, due to the paucity of high-frequency mechanical excitation apparatus. The universality of temporal behavior and frequency response is an important aspect of ML phenomena, and serves as the impetus for much of its applications. Here, we push the study on ML into high-frequency range (∼250 kHz) by combining with piezoelectric actuators. Two representative ML ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Cu, Al phosphors were chosen as the research objects. Time-resolved ML of ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Cu, Al shows unrevealed frequency-dependent saturation and quenching, which is associated with the dynamic processes of traps. From the point of applications, this study sets the cut-off frequency for ML sensing. Moreover, by in-situ tuning the strain frequency, ZnS:Mn exhibits reversible frequency-induced broad red-shift into near-infrared range. These findings offer keen insight into the photophysics nature of ML and also broaden the physical modulation of ML by locally adjusting the excitation frequency.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescent materials have attracted considerable attention over the past two decades, owing to the ability to convert external mechanical stimuli into useful photons. Here we present a new, to the best of our knowledge, type of mechanoluminescent material, i.e., MgF2:Tb3+. In addition to the demonstration of traditional applications, such as stress sensing, we show the possibility of ratiometric thermometry using this mechanoluminescent material. Under stimulation of an external force, rather than the conventional photoexcitation, the luminescence ratio of 5D3→7F6 to 5D4→7F5 emission lines of Tb3+ is confirmed to be a good indicator of temperature. Our work not only expands the family of mechanoluminescent materials, but also provides a new and energy-saving route for temperature sensing.

Abstract
Simulation of somatosensory systems in human skin with electronic devices has broad applications in the development of intelligent robots and wearable electronic devices. Here, we give an account of a new biomimetic flexible dual-mode pressure sensor, which is based on the first developed sea dandelion-like conductive metal-organic framework (cZIF-67@Cu-CAT) and the self-synthesized mechanically luminescent zinc sulfide nanoparticles and cleverly combines the microdome structure of the lotus leaf. According to finite element simulation analysis (FEA), the deformation behavior and pressure distribution of the contact interface with dandelion-like nanostructures cause the contact area of the sensor to increase rapidly and steadily with the load. It is for this reason that the piezoresistive pressure sensor has a high sensitivity of 71.74 kPa-1 over a wide range of 0.5 to 80 kPa. More importantly, it can roughly perceive stress changes in the external environment through mechanoluminescence materials without a power supply. The ultra-thin flexible pressure sensor is suitable for sensitive monitoring of small vibrations, including wrist pulse and joint motion. Combined with Bluetooth data transmission, it is not difficult to see that the high-sensitivity ultra-thin sensor designed in this study has broad potential in the applications of bio-wearable electronics and will play an immeasurable role in various sports training and joint protection in the future.

Abstract
Proportionally converting the applied mechanical energy into photons by individual mechanoluminescent (ML) micrometer-sized particles opens a new way to develop intelligent electronic skins as it promises high-resolution stress distribution visualization and fast response. However, a big challenge for ML sensing technology is its low sensitivity in detecting stress. In this work, a novel stress distribution sensor with the detection sensitivity enhanced by two orders of magnitude is developed by combining a proposed near-distance ML imaging scheme with an improved mechano-to-photon convertor. The enhanced sensitivity is the main contributor to the realization of a maximum photon harvesting rate of ≈80% in the near-distance ML imaging scheme. The developed near-distance ML sensor shows a high sensitivity with a detection limit down to ≈kPa level, high spatial resolution of 254 dpi, and fast response with an interval of 3.3 ms, which allows for high-resolution and real-time visualization of complex mechanical actions such as irregular solid contacts or fluid impacts, and thus enables use in intelligent electronic skin, structural health monitoring, and human-computer interaction.

Abstract
Visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) mechanoluminescence (ML) materials have been developed rapidly for use in energy conversion, biological applications and mechanical sensing. The realization of visible and NIR ML in single host materials meets the dual requirements of visualization and anti-interference for high-precision mechanical sensing. In this work, Mn2+ single-doped magnesium aluminate spinel MgAl2O4 with excellent ML performance was studied in detail. Bright, visible green and NIR ML were achieved under mechanical stimulation, and the ratio between visible and NIR ML intensity can be regulated by manipulating the doping concentration of Mn2+. The generation of ML without additional pre-irradiation proved that the self-powered ML phenomenon was independent of trap. The functional relationship between mechanical parameters and ML intensity indicated that the doped spinel can be used for visualization, anti-interference and non-contact mechanical sensing. In addition, the NIR ML of MgAl2O4:Mn2+, centered at 835 nm, is located in the first NIR window (NIR-I, 650-950 nm), which effectively penetrates living tissue such as skin, fat, and lean meat, respectively, showing that it has potential applications in in vivo optical imaging.

Abstract
Materials exhibiting mechanoluminescence (ML) are a class of smart materials capable of mechanical-to-light energy conversion. Thus, ML materials have been widely used in various electronic applications such as smart sensors, security systems, human-machine interfaces, and energy harvesting systems. Herein, we report a centrosymmetric ML semiconductor host material family MGa2S4 (M = Ca, Sr), which features in-layered structures constructed with unique distorted bi-tetrahedral [Ga2S2S4/2] lattice units. It exhibited similar structural characteristics to the well-known ML semiconductor host ZnS. Remarkably, the lanthanide ions of 5d → 4f transition-activated hosts showed sensitive and high ML luminance under natural lighting upon mechanical stimulation; thus, an efficient mechanical-to-light energy conversion of a self-powered display was achieved. Moreover, because of structural distortion and strain-gradient-induced electrical polarization in the ML host material upon mechanical stimulation, a ML mechanism based on the synergy effect between local electronic polarization and flexoelectricity was proposed. This study facilitates a deeper understanding of the relationship between the structure and underlying ML, and promotes further development of ML-material-based products and technologies.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials can directly convert external mechanical stimulation into light without the need for excitation from other forms of energy, such as light or electricity. This alluring characteristic makes ML materials potentially applicable in a wide range of areas, including dynamic imaging of force, advanced displays, information code, storage, and anti-counterfeiting encryption. However, current reproducible ML materials are restricted to sulfide- and oxide-based materials. In addition, most of the reported ML materials require pre-irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) lamps or other light sources, which seriously hinders their practical applications. Here, we report a novel ML material, MgF2:Mn2+, which emits bright red light under an external dynamic force without the need for pre-charging with UV light. The luminescence properties were systematically studied, and the piezophotonic application was demonstrated. More interestingly, unlike the well-known zinc sulfide ML complexes reported previously, a highly transparent ML film was successfully fabricated by incorporating MgF2:Mn2+ into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrices. This film is expected to find applications in advanced flexible optoelectronics such as integrated piezophotonics, artificial skin, athletic analytics in sports science, among others.

Abstract
Noninvasive manipulation of cell signaling is critical in basic neuroscience research and in developing therapies for neurological disorders and psychiatric conditions. Here, the wireless force-induced stimulation of primary neuronal circuits through mechanotransduction mediated by magnetic microdiscs (MMDs) under applied low-intensity and low-frequency alternating magnetic fields (AMFs), is described. MMDs are fabricated by top-down lithography techniques that allow for cost-effective mass production of biocompatible MMDs with high saturation and zero magnetic magnetic moment at remanence. MMDs are utilized as transducers of AMFs into mechanical forces. When MMDs are exposed to primary rat neuronal circuits, their magneto-mechanical actuation triggers the response of specific mechanosensitive ion channels expressed on the cell membranes activating ≈50% of hippocampal and ≈90% of cortical neurons subjected to the treatment. Mechanotransduction is confirmed by the inhibition of mechanosensitive transmembrane channels with Gd3+ . Mechanotransduction mediated by MMDs cause no cytotoxic effect to neuronal cultures. This technology fulfills the requirements of cell-type specificity and weak magnetic fields, two limiting factors in the development of noninvasive neuromodulation therapies and clinical equipment design. Moreover, high efficiency and long-lasting stimulations are successfully achieved. This research represents a fundamental step forward for magneto-mechanical control of neural activity using disc-shaped micromaterials with tailored magnetic properties.

Abstract
Tactile sensors with multimode sensing ability are cornerstones of artificial skin for applications in humanoid robotics and smart prosthetics. However, the intuitive and interference-free reading of multiple tactile signals without involving complex algorithms and calculations remains a challenge. Herein a pressure-temperature bimodal tactile sensor without any interference is demonstrated by combining the fundamentally different sensing mechanisms of optics and electronics, enabling the simultaneous and independent sensing of pressure and temperature with the elimination of signal separation algorithms and calculations. The bimodal sensor comprises a mechanoluminescent hybrid of ZnS-CaZnOS and a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) thermoresistant material, endowing the unambiguous transduction of pressure and temperature into optical and electrical signals, respectively. This device exhibits the highest temperature sensitivity of -0.6% °C-1 in the range of 21-60 °C and visual sensing of the applied forces at a low limitation of 2 N. The interference-free and light-emitting characteristics of this device permit user-interactive applications in robotics for encrypted communication as well as temperature and pressure monitoring, along with wireless signal transmission. This work provides an unexplored solution to signal interference of multimodal tactile sensors, which can be extended to other multifunctional sensing devices.

Abstract
The emergence of new applications, such as in artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and biotechnology, has driven the evolution of stress sensing technology. For these emerging applications, stretchability, remoteness, stress distribution, a multimodal nature, and biocompatibility are important performance characteristics of stress sensors. Mechanoluminescence (ML)-based stress sensing has attracted widespread attention because of its characteristics of remoteness and having a distributed response to mechanical stimuli as well as its great potential for stretchability, biocompatibility, and self-powering. In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the discovery of ML materials, analysis of mechanisms, design of devices, and exploration of applications. One can find that with this progress, the focus of ML research has shifted from the phenomenon in the earliest stage to materials and recently toward devices. At the present stage, while showing great prospects for advanced stress sensing applications, ML-based sensing still faces major challenges in material optimization, device design, and system integration.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) is a striking optical phenomenon that is achieved through mechanical to optical energy conversion. Here, a series of Li1 -x Nax NbO3 : Pr3+ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) ML materials have been developed. In particular, due to the formation of heterostructure, the synthesized Li0.5 Na0.5 NbO3 : Pr3+ effectively couples the trap structures and piezoelectric property to realize the highly repeatable ML performance without traditional preirradiation process. Furthermore, the ML performances measured under sunlight irradiation and preheating confirm that the ML properties of Li0.5 Na0.5 NbO3 : Pr3+ can be ascribed to the dual modes of luminescence mechanism, including both trap-controllable and self-recoverable modes. In addition, DFT calculations further confirm that the doping of Na+ ions in LiNbO3 leads to electronic modulations by the formation of the heterostructures, which optimizes the trap distributions and concentrations. These modulations improve the electron transfer efficiency to promote ML performances. This work has supplied significant references for future design and synthesis of efficient ML materials for broad applications.

Abstract
Solution-processed metal-halide perovskites hold great promise in developing next-generation low-cost, high-performance photodetectors. However, the weak absorption of perovskites beyond the near-infrared spectral region posts a stringent limitation on their use for broadband photodetectors. Here, the rational design and synthesis of an upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-perovskite nanotransducer are presented, namely UCNPs@mSiO2 @MAPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I), for broadband photon detection spanning from X-rays, UV, to NIR. It is demonstrated that, by in situ crystallization and deliberately tuning the material composition in the lanthanide core and perovskites, the nanotransducers allow for a high stability and show a wide linear response to X-rays of various dose rates, as well as UV/NIR photons of various power densities. The findings provide an opportunity to explore the next-generation broadband photodetectors in the field of high-quality imaging and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Due to the in situ, real-time, and non-destructive properties, mechanoluminescence (ML) crystals have been considered as intelligent stress sensors, which demonstrate potential applications such as in inner crack visualization, light source, and ultrasonic powder recording. Thereinto, it is highly expected that near-infrared (NIR) MLs can realize the visualization of inner biological stress because mechanically induced signals from them can penetrate biological tissues. However, such an energy conversion technique fails to work in biomechanical monitoring due to the limited advances of NIR ML materials. Based on those, some research groups have begun to focus on this field and initially realized this idea in vitro while related advances are still at the early stage. To advance this field, it is highly desirable to review recent advances in NIR ML crystals. In this review, to our knowledge, all the NIR ML crystals have been included in two main groups: oxysulfides and oxides. Besides, the present and emerging trends in investigation of such crystals were discussed. In all, the aim is to advance NIR ML crystals to more practical applications, especially for that of biomechanical visualization in vivo.

Abstract
Under the excitation of ultraviolet, X-ray, and mechanical stress, intense orange luminescence (Mn2+, 4T1 → 6A1) can be generated in Mn2+-doped SrZn2S2O crystal in orthorhombic space group of Pmn21. Herein, the multiple energy conversion in SrZn2S2O:Mn2+, that is, photoluminescence (PL), X-ray-induced luminescence, and mechanoluminescence, is investigated. Insight in luminescence mechanisms is gained by evaluating the Mn2+ concentration effects. Under the excitation of metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transition, the most intense PL is obtained. X-ray-induced luminescence shows similar features with PL excited by band edge UV absorption due to the same valence band to conduction band transition nature. Benefiting much from trap levels introduced by Mn2+ impurities, the quenching behavior mechanoluminescence is more like the directly excited PL from Mn2+ d-d transitions. Interestingly, this concentration preference leads to varying degrees of spectral redshift in each mode luminescence. Further, SrZn2S2O:Mn2+ exhibits a good linear response to the excitation power, which makes it potential candidates for applications in X-ray radiation detection and mechanical stress sensing.

Analytical Modeling of the Postcracking Response Observed in Hybrid Steel/Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12091864. [PMID: 32825090 PMCID: PMC7565595 DOI: 10.3390/polym12091864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study deals with the analytical modeling of hybrid fiber-reinforced concretes (HyFRCs) made with a blend of different types of fibers characterized by different geometries and/or constitutive materials. The presented analytical formulation is oriented towards predicting the postcracking behavior of HyFRC and is mainly based on the well-known "cracked-hinge" model originally employed for standard fiber-reinforced concrete beams. The proposed model is validated by considering the experimental results obtained in a previous study carried out on HyFRCs mixtures made with a blend of steel and polypropylene fibers. Theoretical results are presented to demonstrate the predictive capabilities of the model to simulate the observed experimental behavior. The model performance is in very good agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, it has the capability to forecast the postcracking behavior of a generic HyFRC of given fiber contents depending on the actual proportion of the fiber blend. Finally, the proposed formulation can be applied as a computational aid to the design of HyFRC mixtures for structural purposes.
