ABSTRACT
To address the growing challenge of counterfeit prevention, this study developed a novel anti-counterfeiting ink system based on bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNC) and lanthanide (Er, Yb)nitrogen (N) co-dropped graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which exhibited both photoluminescence (PL) and upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL) fluorescent properties as well as excellent rheological characteristics. The Er/Yb/N-GQDs with positive charges were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method and subsequently assembled with negatively charged BCNC through electrostatic self-assembly to fabricate a novel nanohybrid, Er/Yb/N-GQDs-BCNC. Raman spectroscopy results indicated an enhancement in the graphitization of GQDs due to lanthanide modification. The TEM results demonstrated a homogeneous distribution of Er/Yb/N-GQDs on BCNC, while XRD, FTIR, and XPS analyses confirmed their physical binding, thus validating the successful synthesis of novel nanohybrids. Then, Er/Yb/N-GQDs-BCNC was introduced into PVA waterborne ink and exhibited dual anti-counterfeiting properties by emitting blue fluorescence at Em 440 nm under Ex 370 nm and green fluorescence at Em 550 nm under Ex 980 nm. Furthermore, the incorporation of BCNC significantly enhanced the thixotropic behavior and yield stress of the PVA waterborne ink. This enhancement made the dual anti-counterfeiting fluorescent ink more suitable for diversified applications on different devices and various substrates, thus providing a novel approach for convenient and rapid information encryption and high security anti-counterfeiting.
