Abstract

their surface chemistry, enabling sensitive detection in aqueous media. The intense and durable fluorescence further enables their use as anti-counterfeiting inks, where printed patterns remain invisible under ambient light and become clearly visible under UV illumination, showing performance durability. This work establishes polysilazane-derived fluorescent nanoparticles as a new class of polymer-derived ceramic nanomaterials, offering a scalable platform for multifunctional applications in sensing, security labeling, and smart surface technologies.
