A generic approach towards afterglow luminescent nanoparticles for ultrasensitive in vivo imaging

Afterglow luminescence is used to reduce background noise and increase sensitivity; however, biocompatible afterglow materials are limited. Here, the authors report on an approach to turn standard optical agents into afterglow nanoparticles and demonstrate the application in tumour imagining in vivo...
