However, achieving both high brightness and WCG properties simultaneously remains challenging for multicolor-emitting single UCNPs. Here, bright red/green/blue (RGB) orthogonal luminescent core@sextuple-shell (C@6S) UCNPs showing a WCG under 800, 980, and 1532 nm near-infrared (NIR) light is reported. Luminescent properties of various C@6S UCNPs with 6 distinct R-G-B configurations are investigated and a green-emitting core coated with a red-emitting inner shell and a blue-emitting outer shell satisfied high brightness and WCG properties. The green-emitting core-based C@6S UCNPs showed multicolor tunability with high brightness and the widest color gamut value of 94.2% of the National Television System Committee color space among RGB-emitting core@multishell UCNPs. Furthermore, potential full-color displays utilizing the transparent C@6S UCNP-polydimethylsiloxane composite and NIR light sources are demonstrated. These findings provide the criteria for synthesizing the RGB-emitting single UCNPs exhibiting high brightness and a WCG and would be beneficial for the realization of true 3D full-color displays.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142917593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pivotal anti-pathogenic efficiency is focused on the confined and gradually weaken reactive oxygen species (ROS) yield in the peculiar micromilieu owing to the materials transformation/dissolution. There, the type-transformational bio-heterojunction enzyme (BioHJzyme) with operando composition-modulation is proposed, which is consisted by glucose oxidase (GOx) decorated type-I FeSe<sub>2</sub>/Cu<sub>2</sub>O heterojunction. It exhibits robust catalytic efficiency to produce ROS.

It is conducive to the NIR-induced capabilities to improve ROS yield. The GOx can consume glucose to produce H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> as an amplifier. The combined catalytic efficiency of type-I heterojunction and the followed enhanced NIR-induced capabilities of dual Z-scheme heterojunction can powerfully remove the pathogenic colonization.

However, effective strategies for achieving NIR photocatalysis remain scarce. Here, a novel strategy that achieves NIR photocatalysis with significantly enhanced selectivity is reported through lanthanide nanocrystal-mediated photosensitization. A composite nanocatalyst, comprising NaNdF<sub>4</sub> lanthanide nanocrystals and Zn(II) phthalocyanine organic photosensitizers is designed, where the NaNdF<sub>4</sub> absorb 808 nm NIR light and transfer energy directly to the photosensitizers via lanthanide-mediated triplet sensitization. This approach enables selective functionalization of organic substrates with increased yields and reduced side-product formation compared to UV/visible light excitation. The enhanced selectivity arises from the controlled generation of superoxide anions (O<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>) as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and minimized substrate photoactivation. The approach enables targeted dehydrogenation and C─N coupling reactions of diverse N-heterocyclic substrates, including halogen-substituted compounds that are typically prone to undesired side reactions.

Currently, effective strategies to simultaneously restore both soft and hard periodontal tissues remain insufficient. To address this challenge, a multifunctional dual-layer microneedles (d-MNs) design is proposed to regenerate both periodontal soft and hard tissues in diabetic patients. The d-MNs substrate is composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) infused with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA), which facilitates the differentiation of osteogenic cells into osteoblasts, thereby promoting alveolar bone regeneration. The tips of the d-MNs, on the other hand, are primarily made of hyaluronic acid (HA) combined with a magnesium-based metal-organic framework (Mg-MOF) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOX). This composition creates a hypoglycemic, angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory microenvironment, which supports soft tissue repair. When implanted at the site of periodontitis, the synergistic interaction between the d-MNs substrate and tips effectively promotes the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues, as demonstrated in diabetic rat models of periodontitis. These innovative d-MNs have the potential to revolutionize traditional approaches to treating diabetic periodontitis and can see broad application in dental clinics.","PeriodicalId":112,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Functional Materials","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142911967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
