A Universal Gd 3+ -based hydrogel matrix for inducing room-temperature phosphorescence
Abstract
-AMP hydrogel permitted efficient RTP emission from guest molecules. Notably, second-scale afterglow (>1 s) was observed from the thioflavin T (ThT)-encapsulated hydrogel, which has rarely been reported for ThT, confirming the high efficiency of the hydrogel matrix. Moreover, the matrix could efficiently encapsulate diverse guest molecules without size or charge restrictions through an adaptive encapsulation process, thus serving as a universal RTP matrix. Leveraging the stimuli-responsive, shear-thinning, and biocompatible properties of the hydrogel, single- and co-encapsulated RTP systems were further applied in bioimaging, three-dimensional (3D) encoding, and color-tunable white-light emission.
