ABSTRACT
Mechanoluminescence (ML) phosphors have found various promising utilizations such as in non-destructive stress sensing, anti-counterfeiting, and bio stress imaging. However, the reported NIR MLs have predominantly been limited to bulky particle size and weak ML intensity, hindering the further practical applications. For this regard, a nano-sized ZnGa2O4 Cr3+ NIR ML phosphor is synthesized by hydrothermal method. By improving the synthesis method and regulating the chemical composition, the NIR ML (600-1000 nm) intensity of such nano-materials has been further enhanced about four times. The reasons for the ML performance difference between micro-/nano- sized phosphors also have been preliminarily analyzed. Additionally, this work probes into the ML mechanism deeply in traps' aspect from band structure and defect formation energy, which can supply significant references for a new approach to develop efficient NIR ML nanoparticles. Finally, due to excellent tissue penetration capability, nano-sized ZnGa2O4Cr3+ NIR ML phosphor shows great potential applications in biomedical fields such as for the detection of clinical oral diseases.
