This molecule has been demonstrated to be closely linked to the progression of numerous diseases. Peroxynitrite is highly reactive and quite unstable with a very short half-life, which is primarily found within mitochondria. Therefore, creating a mitochondria-targeted fluorescent probe that can selectively detect peroxynitrite is of great importance. In this work, a ratiometric fluorescent probe <strong>RHON</strong> is designed to detect ONOO<sup>−</sup> both sensitively and selectively. The probe, featuring an oxabenzofluorene-based structure, was efficiently synthesized in a few short steps. After the addition of ONOO<sup>−</sup>, the pinkish-purple colour of the probe solution gradually disappeared and finally became colourless. Simultaneously, a substantial blue shift was observed in the fluorescence emission, covering a range of 115 nm. After thorough evaluations, the probe was found to have outstanding selectivity and sensitivity toward ONOO<sup>−</sup>. Impressively, it can reach an extremely low detection limit of 0.11 nM, and its response time is quite rapid, approximately 1 min. Furthermore, <strong>RHON</strong> exhibits outstanding biocompatibility. Moreover, the exogenous ONOO<sup>−</sup> present in mitochondria of living cells could be successfully detected by this probe. This successful application vividly demonstrates the great potential of <strong>RHON</strong> in the field of biological applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16159,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Luminescence","volume":"283 ","pages":"Article 121258"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143869970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, systematic studies correlating their structure with photophysical performance have been hindered by the lack of effective synthesis strategy for controllably tailoring their morphologies. Herein, we address this challenge using a simple solvothermal method to synthesize CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanowires and nanoplates with controlled size and morphology by solely varying reaction time (30 min–24 h). Prolonged reaction time induces a size-dependent morphological transition from nanowires (∼2 nm diameter) to nanoplates (∼2–3 nm thickness), accompanied by a quantum confinement-mediated redshift in photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Fluorescence lifetime measurements and Urbach energy analysis reveal a reduction in defects within nanoplates compared to nanowires, effectively suppressing non-radiative recombination pathways. Temperature-dependent PL studies further demonstrate that CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanoplates exhibit a higher exciton binding energy (320.78 meV), indicating enhanced electron-hole interactions. These findings not only achieve precise morphology modulation but also establish a fundamental structure-property relationship, highlighting the critical role of defect engineering and quantum confinement in tailoring the photophysical performance of low-dimensional perovskite nanocrystals.

Furthermore, hydrogen bonding between LABEP and halide ions inhibits ion migration, stabilizing the perovskite structure under operational bias. As a result, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the PeLED shows a 2.6-fold enhancement at 478 nm with a narrow FWHM of 20.7 nm.
